Sony Creative Software has announced that the newest version of Sony Vegas Pro (version 10) will be available on October 11, 2010. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new and notable:
- Stereoscopic 3D editing, for those who want to shoot and edit 3D videos
- Track grouping for easier project management
- GPU accelerated encoding for users with CUDA video cards (only works with Sony AVC codec)
- A new video plugin architecture, which should allow Vegas to accept more 3rd party plugins (like all other video editing suites)
For users who upgrade early, I would expect some bugs…just like what happened when Vegas Pro 9 was released. A more complete list of what’s new in Vegas Pro 10 is available here.
Hi Dave, any word on whether their mp4 codec will be improved? It sucks right now which is why I am forced to render using Vegas 8 on my old XP machine.
@Ron – I couldn’t say…hopefully it will work fine, as it does in their Movie Studio version 10.
With the new video plugin architecture, will it be backward compatible?
I still want to know when or if Sony Vegas will ever support AMD Stream since not everyone has an nVidia video card….
It kind of annoys me that everywhere I look I see CUDA…leaving ATi/AMD users out. I personally dislike nVidia video cards.
