What's with the RGB values in Vegas 11?

Does it drive anyone else bonkers that Vegas 11 uses RGB values from 0 to 1.0, and the default for custom colors is HSV? Why did anyone at Sony think this was a good idea?

It's almost impossible to manually enter a color to match something else. Especially when just about every other program on the planet uses a standard RGB value of 0-255.

Not to mention if you prefer working in RGB (which I would think most people do?) you have to click 3 times to get sliders up in a standard RGB format.

If it isn't broke, don't fix it!

not only makes much more difficult, but make imprecise. last time i checked, i could not make a RGB at 16, only 15 or 17. feels like the people that actually code it don't edit videos...

EDIT: well, actually is unlikely the "coders" do editing, but they could always talk to each other. or at least sony hear the customers complain. its a easy fix to add a RGB option.

Just another reason why I lost interest in V11. V11 is broken even if it worked as designed.

Yah, we've had 11 since it came out, only started trying to use it on a few small projects to see if it's gotten any more stable. Overall, I think there's a few things that are a step in the right direction, but the program as a whole is full of bugs and stupid decisions. I know this has been discussed to death but...

The sad part is we have 3 edit suites, all with different configurations all running 10 and 11. On all 3 Vegas 11 is hardly useable it's so unstable. I know a few people have said it has a lot to do with how your machine is set up - but really? 3 computers running totally different hardware configs and all experience similar issues? I don't think that's a hardware problem. Then again, Vegas has never been without it's bugs and crashes... but 11 is by far the worst release.

Oh well, back to 10 for us - hopefully Sony get's their s#it together. They really need to take some notes from companies like SmallHD where their customers are involved in the process of making new products and they listen to their clients.

And who is beta testing this stuff anyway?! Are any of the beta testers actually doing any work with Vegas during the beta period? How can it be so far off the mark?

I expect a few hiccups but seriously guys...

Seems like it's displaying 32-bit float values. Not very helpful even if I were working in 32-bit float, which I'm not.
