| I just checked out upgrade pricing. It looks like they went up, and they don't have a "Vegas+DVD to Vegas+DVD" specific low-cost upgrade. You can still upgrade from any Vegas+DVD version, but it is now under the category "Vegas+DVD from Vegas" which is ($234.95).
The Movie Studio version is now more robust. They finally added 5.1 AC-3 encoding and HDV support. What is missing from this new Movie Studio version? | ||||

I don't know about Tranzport, but I'm pretty sure ATRAC is what Sony uses on their portable music players. Not sure if they came up with it, but I believe they're the biggest supporters of it. | ||||

not sure exactly - but number of tracks , nesting , render farm rendering will all be not there or reduction in number -- prob. much the same as before.. but - Movie Studio version is a really good buy considering what it DOES have and more than enough for most | ||||

It looks like both Premiere Pro 2 and upper Vegas 7 are positioning for the SDI uncompressed market while beefing up premium versions of Elements and Movie Studio for consumer DV/HDV. Prosumer HDV straddles the two. I'm going to wait on Premiere Pro 2 and/or Vegas 7 until I build my new core2 machine. In the meantime I'd like to check out the $59 version of MainConcept MPEG Elements (for Premiere Elements 2) on the old hardware. I haven't seen a review on that yet. http://www.mainconcept.com/site/index.php?id=6875 | ||||

| I hope Vegas 7 solves some of the extremel;y long render times. | ||||

| Vegas has network renderfarm rendering (to really speed things up) and very good quality output .... yes it is slow on a single cpu somewhat ... but if you ever saw a renderman render , or combustion, or digital fusion or shake .. vegas seems speedy by comparision ... | ||||

| Hello there!
Can anyone please tell me if Vegas 7 allows for change or deletion of audio track in a video clip? I used to select audio in Vegas 6 and then delete it to replace with another audio file or simply to edit it. I tried to delete audio only, but the whole clip is deleted instead. Pls help. Tks sfalcon | ||||

Just highlight the audio part of the clip and hit the delete key. If MPeg, wait for it to process first. | ||||

| Hi, edDV!
Tks for yr reply! Unfortunately, this highlughting works only for Vegas 6, but not for Vegas 7. When I highlight audio and press delete the whole clip (video + audio) goes off... tks sfalcon |
