Master output effects can also be controlled and manipulated over time by the use of Master Bus track automation envelopes.
Effects can be applied at any stage of the visual signal flow - event level, track level and output level effects, much like reverb, delay and flange audio effects are applied in a digital audio system, like Pro Tools, Cubase or Sonar. Much of the visual effects processing in Vegas follows an audio-like paradigm. In areas of compositing and motion graphics, Vegas provides a broad tool set including 3D track motion compositing with control over z-depth, and spatial arrangement of visual planes including plane intersection. VEGAS does not require any specialized hardware to run properly, allowing it to operate on almost any standard Windows computer across a broad range of hardware. On, Sony announced that it had sold Vegas (and most of its "Creative Software" line) to MAGIX, who would continue supporting and developing the software. Vegas features real-time multitrack video and audio editing on unlimited tracks, resolution-independent video sequencing, complex effects and compositing tools, 24-bit/192 kHz audio support, VST and DirectX plug-in effect support, and Dolby Digital surround sound mixing. Originally developed as audio editing software, it eventually developed into an NLE for video and audio from version 2.0.
The software runs on the Windows operating system.
keep shooting.Vegas Pro is a video editing software package for non-linear editing (NLE) originally published by Sonic Foundry, then by Sony Creative Software, and now by Magix. I hope that this info helps and you find the Sony software as satisifying as I have. The Sony creative software web site offers free upgrades for their stuff free and on the site you can compare all thefeatures of each of theproducts. In the short time that I have been using VMS 11 I am very satisfied (except for error code and I should have updated before starting). I was very happy using VMS 9 but needed to move to VMS 11 because I wanted to burn Blu-ray discs with menus.
I didn’t do this and spent hours trying to make my first Blu-ray disc until I googledthe error code that I was receiving and found a solution (see my other post about error code in VMS 11, from a few days ago).
One thing I must suggest to you is also suggested on the beginning of the DVD is to upload the most recent upgrade to your software.
The quick start DVD gives you a study of how to do things before you actually start a project. The interactive tutorials are imbedded in the software and can help you proceed while you are actually working on a project. Some of the things discussed are above the beginning level but are well explained and easy to follow (blue/green screen, other filters).
The chapters are Intro, Getting started,Look at the interface, Selecting project properties, Importing project media, Basic editing technique, Creating text and titiles, Filters and effects, Steroscopic 3D editing, Delivering the video, Conclusion. The DVD is broken into 11 chapters that run any where from about 5 minutes to 10 minutes each. If you are new to video editing or new to the Vegas interface, it is very informative and will get you going in the right direction. I did find a number of things that were new to me because I hadn’t used them in 9 and somethings that are new to 11. For me it was a refresher of the things that I had been using in VMS 9. It is basically a guide to start you using VMS and DVD architect softwares. I just finished viewing the Jump Start Tutorials DVD. Joe, I recently purchased VMS Hd Platinum suite 11, I got it for a very good price from Sony because I am ungrading from VMS Plat 9.
