Vegas 7 update now available.
 

New functionality includes support for the progressive scan modes (24A and 30 modes on the V1U/V1J/V1N camcorders, and 25 mode on the V1E/V1P/V1C camcorders) on the Sony HVR-V1 series HDV camcorders, and a built-in import module for the HVR-DR60 Hard Disk Recording Unit. With the 7.0c update, Vegas will properly handle the V1 series progressive scan modes automatically, without manual intervention. Users can also manually remove pulldown from native or downconverted 24p DV files.

Additional enhancements include improved color accuracy for XDCAM HD export, improved monitoring for DV, SD XDCAM, and HDV formats over SDI; improved VST support; 24p, 25p, and 30p HDV project templates; 640 x 480 export support for the Apple(R) iPod(R); and stream-compliant HD MPEG-2 templates for the Sony Blu-print(TM) professional Blu-ray(TM) authoring system.

HD rendering and Panasonic AG HVX 200
 

After converting the HVX200 HD files with RayLight and inseting the clips on the timeline which HD codec is best for rendering that won't take up Gigs and Gigs of hard drive space. Thanks

Am I able to trial Vegas 7 and Ultimate S?
 

I bought a hi-def Canon and am getting my ducks in a row to update to Sony 7 in the new year. I hear many of you talk about some of the VASST tools including the Ultimate S package.

Since timing is an issue on trial versions of software I'm wondering if it's possible to get a trial version of Ultimate S working in a trial version of Vegas 7. I don't want to install the Vegas trial before I know so that I will get the most time to fiddle with the Ultimate S interface before I need to make my purchasing decision.

Thanks,
Kevin

Stutter
 

Anyone notice when using Vegas and hitting play while being zoomed(at any level) on the timeline...the video stutters when the time line in zoomed

Vegas Movie Studio+DVD Platinum Edition 7 vs Sony Vegas 7
 

Vegas Movie Studio+DVD Platinum Edition 7 vs Sony Vegas 7:

Which is better, and what are the differences between the two, if any? Thanks,

Steven

Vegas Movie Studio+DVD Platinum Edition 7 is a "lite" version of Sony Vegas 7. If you can afford the big one (Sony Vegas 7), get the big one. The "lite" version (i.e. Movie Studio) is limited to 4 video tracks, 4 audio tracks, doesn't support scripting, and many other features found in the full version. There's a comparison chart on the Sony website.

...But, if you are looking at Vegas, but aren't sure if it is your type of style of editing, its a heck of a way to go--- it will even capture HDV, giving an inexpensive entry into that area.

Ultimate S trial works in the trial version of Vegas 7 without any issues of any kind.

The amount of stutter, or lack thereof, is determined by several factors, not the least of which are:
CPU speed
Vid card/bus
Shared resources
Anti-virus enabled
HDD throughput/swap files, etc

Zooming all the way out also causes more information to be buffered.
Double click the timeline bar at the bottom of the timeline to fit the entire project to the timeline area. If you're still seeing stutters, it's some aspect of your machine that isn't allocating resources correctly or at the proper priority.
