Videoguys Notes
5) Sony Vegas Pro 11
Sony Vegas Pro 11 continues to fill a niche in the industry. It's an affordable NLE that is loaded with power and performance, that combines a feature rich toolset with an incredible engine that taps into and scales with your CPU. The more CPU cores and power you give it, the better the performance. But it can also scale down to give more than acceptable results with an older, less powerful machine.
Sony Vegas Pro 11 is also the only NLE that recommends AMD and Intel processors equally. In fact, when you talk to the Sony product guys like I do, they give the nod to AMD ;-)
Sony Vegas Pro 11 now also taps into your graphics card GPU power. Unlike other NLEs, Vegas can utilize either NVIDIA or ATI graphics. This gives Vegas a big leg up when it comes to running well on "off the shelf" desktop and laptop machines found at your local consumer electronics superstore.
Vegas was the first NLE to go 64-bit and, with Vegas Pro 11, Sony continues to push the envelope on getting the most bang from your NLE buck. The processing engine under the hood of Vegas Pro 11 has been tuned-up and optimized to handle DSLR and AVCHD footage even better than before. They also added support for RED EPIC.
Sony is going after the 3D marketplace big time. They make 3D televisions and 3D cameras, so it's only natural that Vegas Pro would have 3D editing capabilities. While 3D editing was introduced with Vegas Pro 10, in 11 it gets much more powerful and easier to use.
Of course, like the other software titles in our year-end wrap up, we have some great bundles with SONY Vegas Pro 11 with hardware I/O from AJA, Blu-ray bundles featuring the Pioneer BDR206 and storage bundles featuring the G-Tech G-RAID.
