Hello. As you can probably tell, there's a SUPER excited user base out here.
I've had some things that have weighed on my mind regarding Vegas and hope that I can include some things I would like in the next release:
1) A professional color grading/color correcting tool. Currently, Vegas' color grading tool leaves a lot to be desired. By professional, I mean: a) a color grading tool that allows LUTs to be used; b) a tool, like some of the higher end products, that allow users to color grade using layers (or nodes) to correct events; c) shapes (rectangles, ovals, etc), allowing users to color grade within, or outside, the shape; d) power windows that are trackable! (not keyframed, but able to track an object--perhaps a partnership with mocha would be in order so your developers don't have to reinvent the wheel)
2) Nesting is old and clunky! I've created an image showing tabs that would be a perfect solution to the old nesting technique. (If someone could email me (rgwhitaker@yahoo.com), I can submit the image). So, instead of nesting, why not use tabs: each tab being a new timeline. When I refer to tabs, I mean like the ones in a browser, and clicking on the + adds a new tab. Tabs could be clicked on to rename them to something useful, like "Scene 1," "Scene 2," etc. Then, when rendering, users can select a tab, or range of tabs, to render.
3) I recommend updating the plugin dialog boxes so that they have a more contemporary look, not the old Windows from the early 1990s look and feel.
4) Also, in my current version of SVP 13, you can add tags to clips, but they do not save with the .veg file. Once you exit Vegas, the tags are lost. That's a useless feature currently. I'd like to be able to add tags to clips and have it save with the .veg file.
5) For those who do green screens, a good chroma keyer is essential. Vegas' current chroma keyer is poor. I'd recommend partnering with the firm that Adobe partnered with to create their fantastic chroma keyer, as found in After Effects.
