When will there be a real color grading module on Vegas?

I have Vegas 19 and have never upgraded to the newer versions because, for me, the additions are not essential. The only thing missing, which would make this software perfect, is a real, high-performance color grading module! I always have to use DaVinci for color grading because even after watching all the tutorials, the results are never good. Even DaVinci's automatic mode is much better! But I'm tired of having to juggle between the two programs because I don't like DaVinci's editing features at all. Message to the developers: When will we see a really good color grading module in Vegas? Does anyone else feel the same way? Thanks.

I highly recommend trying VP 22's color grading panel which adds many of the useful features Davinci has like color curves (you can change hue vs sat, etc. quickly here). I stopped going to Davinci for color correction as VEGAS is mostly good enough.

You can also add CGP from the event level to the track and media level. You can even add it to adjustment events to blend between two CGPs.
