Its here boys and girls!!!

Just saw it as well... hopefully some early adopters can give feedback on whether or not it seems worthwhile to upgrade. On paper seems like an exciting upgrade, I'm especially intrigued by the option to share projects with Premiere Pro.

Will wait for the upgrade deals. Hopefully it's more stable than Vegas 11?

U have got to be $%^&*^# me.
Open up,
Media generator, animate over 5 sec
add blur and bump map....
white screen app hang.
That will do me.
Nighty night

i too will be holding my breath (and wallet) till more reports come in.

that said, i give credit to scs for actually issuing a point release to 11 at the same time as spruking 12.

time will tell, or at least other early adopters ;;)

Running the trail & seems pretty much the same visually, not sure if Color Match is cracked up to be useful. Export to Adobe Premiere Pro requires CS6, bummer. I can tell you this, the new "shortcut icon" sucks, lol!

Hi

No support for Intel QuickSync which is a shame and an opportunity missed.

Is there still no built in video noise reduction filter?

That seemed odd to me. I don't recall Sony (or Sonic Foundry before them) ever doing that before. I found it strange they would expend their scant resources on 11 while 12 was being tested.

At rendering it does support Quicksync. (beta 12)
But for some reason it was slower than with pure CPU rendering :(

Upgrade deal e-mail arrived from SCS. $139 download/$149 box.

Color Match was very interesting to me in my Beta testing experience. You can actually take a photo form any source that has a color look you like, and use it to set some initial parameters for further adjustment. I tried, for instance taking a still from a page on the Godfather, and used it to "Color Match" a shot, and the results were very god father like.

Still crashes randomly like Vegas 11, especially when I apply Color Curves. How hard can it be to program stable software with a full development team & 3 years of time? What are these guys doing on the job?

I agree -- Color Match is very cool.

You're not limited to photos or video, either; you can match to gradients, patterns, or just about anything and get some very cool looks. With some practice, it could be a powerful grading tool.

Hi

Supports GPU acceleration for Intel Ivy Bridge processors, but when I tried this there were odd colour flashes and the performance was dreadful.

Disappointing to hear QuickSync is supported but slow.

Now easy to make proxy files but I can't see any flexibility here. Seems to create a proxy file which is huge in size at the wrong frame rate, my original file was 50p, the proxy file was 24fps. Once the proxy file was created I couldn't see an obvious way of switching back to the originals for final render, perhaps this is done automatically?

Two crashes later I un-installed, can't see any reason to upgrade from Vegas 10. Just seems the same old story of a new version of Vegas that struggles to add anything new to justify the price of an upgrade.

I've tried Vegas 12 with a cineform file 1920 x 1080 25p medium compression. ( no effects added)
video plays back dropping frames then freezes. Vegas then crashes...

intel ivybridge i7 @4.3 GHZ
16 GB DDR3
HD4000 GPU
windows 7 64 bit

vegas 10e plays the same file without a problem
Edius 6.5 plays the file without a problem.

perhaps Vegas is looking for a dedicated graphics card? I don't know, but not a good start.
