Actually Will you can get Graffiti 3 from Boris for $149 with any Graffiti version including Ltd. It has the plug ins needed. At least that's what Boris told me.

I'm sure I read on the Vegas 5 site (or in the manual) that each licence of Vegas 5 comes with 2 licences for network rendering. So I assume you can have a total of 3 machines rendering on your network with 1 licence.

Upgraded to V5- Audio Plugins still called "Sonic Foundry"

I installed the new Vegas+DVD today. However, oddly enough, all my audio plugins are still called "Sonic Foundry". Not only that- they reside in the "Third-Party Folder"....not the "Sony" folder?!

Is this normal?

A few quick questions about vegas 5 and HDV

Hi folks, I have been unable to get straight answers about Vegas 5 and its HDV capabilities. I would like to know the following.

1. Will it caputre the hdv stream natively from the camera (e.g. hd10u, etc) or will I still have to use a separate capture utility

2. Will it allow for any capture from the camera in other formats or is the m2t (transport stream) still the only option.

3. If it will capture from the camera and mpeg is still the only option will it give a mpeg2 (program stream) file natively or is the m2t the only option

4. Has it been optimized to speed up and improve the quality of editing and rendering (e.g. eliminating the jerky look, artifacts, and especially the chroma noise you get with vegas 4.

Any answers is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Dual Layer?

Does the new DVDA support dual layer? Don't see any mention of it on the site. I would be really surprised if it didn't, with the new Sony Dual Layer burner on the horizon.

No...but hopefully it's a feature that is able to be added in a future patch.

I doubt it supports it now since the technology isn't out on the market yet. I would pretty much bet that once the technology is available, an upgrade will be available to support it as well.

Vegas 5 + DVD

Ok fellas/ladies, I currently own Pinnacle 8 and am ready to upgrade. Pinnacle was very easy to use which I liked but it simply looks like an amatuer film when you are done. I have heard that Vegas is the top of the line for PC when considering overall function and ease of use. I don't really need all the crazy affects, I'm not looking to make a movie like the Matrix. I really need good slow motion, Pinnacle slow motion was horrible and there was no sound. Can you get slow motion sound with Vegas? Meaning, can you slow down the audio along with the video for that neat distorted sound?
I considered Premier Pro but have been told by several people that it is not user friendly comapared to Vegas. I also need dvd rendering. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes you can change the speed of the audio in Vegas (with many options available) as long as you want a SINGLE speed change. Just hold down the CTRL key and resize the clip.

The ADVC-100 goes both ways, is powered by a plug not IEEE although it does have both 4 and 6 pin firewire ports.

You can drop the m2t on the timeline and edit it.
You need to capture in another app.
you can rename the m2t as mpg and do that as well.
Chroma noise? Huh?
Jerky look is related to non-native transcode to DV for output.
You can't monitor non-DV on an external monitor, that's what the firewire cable passes for external preview. On my 3.06 (and on the demo machines Sony is showing) playback is snappy on a 2 stream m2t timeline.
Vegas CAN edit HDV. It's not optimized to do so. Hence, the Cineform option. With the intermediary AVI, you get MUCH better result. Not to mention external preview.

You can try out the demo of the just released Vegas 5 here.

Always good to try out yourself before you go and buy a product.
You can also find a demo of Premiere Pro on the Adobe site.
