for the GPU-accelerated Timecode to use solid black instead of transparent
alpha.
-
Fixed an issue that could
cause the GPU-accelerated White Balance effect to create colors slightly
off.
-
Fixed a crash that could
occur when using certain third-party compositor plug-ins if there was an
audio track directly below the video track with the compositor.
-
Fixed the default preset
for the Timecode effect to be lower-right.
-
Fixed crashes that could
occur in the Titles & Text generator.
-
GPU-accelerated Cookie
Cutter and Page Loop are causing issues with the latest AMD OpenCL drivers
(Catalyst 11.12 and 12.1) so we are no longer processing these with the GPU
on that platform. We will restore these to use GPU processing after the
driver is fixed.
Sony Creative Software has
announced the latest upgrade to its
Vegas editing technology.
Vegas Pro 11
adds significant performance improvements to the NLE, courtesy of OpenCL and
highly optimized GPU hardware acceleration for video processing and rendering.
Vegas Pro 11 is the first Windows-based OpenCL NLE, broadly supporting the
open standard for core video editing operations, video effects and rendering.
Other new features include NVIDIA 3D Vision support for single-display 3D
computers such as the VAIO F Series 3D laptops and L Series 3D desktops, an
enhanced video stabilizer tool, and new software tools for creating animated
titles.
"Sony continues to be a
leader in developing professional content-creation applications that are
extremely powerful, yet easy to use," said Dave Chaimson, vice president
of global marketing for Sony Creative Software. "With the addition of GPU
acceleration, Vegas Pro 11 streamlines the video editing experience by
providing smoother previews and faster rendering times, ideal for industry
professionals who work on tight deadlines where every second counts. Utilizing
the OpenCL standard, customers will find that even very affordable GPU
solutions from AMD and NVIDIA offer workflow enhancements that provide between
two and four times faster rendering speeds, with equally as impressive
performance gains during video playback."
Vegas Pro 11 Feature
Highlights:
-
GPU Accelerated
Video Processing — Working with OpenCL-supported devices from AMD
and NVIDIA, Vegas Pro 11 leverages GPU acceleration for the core video
processing engine, video effects, transitions, compositing, pan/crop, track
motion and encoding, providing a significantly faster workflow.
Sync Link
— More powerful than Event Grouping, this comprehensive editing feature
enables users to easily organize and synchronize events on the timeline.
Secondary audio and B-roll video clips can be edited independently of each
other while remaining in sync with the primary clip.
2D and 3D Text
Tools — Quickly create dynamic and visually stunning text
animations and effects within Vegas Pro 11. Add 3D titles with the new
Titler Pro from NewBlueFX, a great addition to the stereoscopic 3D workflow.
Users can manipulate text down to the character level and on the X, Y, and Z
axes. Stylized 2D motion can be applied to text events using the Titles and
Text tool or with the improved ProType titler.
Advanced Video
Stabilization — Featuring motion analysis on all three camera axes,
this new stabilization technology allows users to reduce jittery or shaky
video caused by handheld recording devices, as well as eliminating rolling
shutter problems inherent in most CMOS camera imagers. Stabilization is now
implemented as an OpenFX plug-in which provides greater flexibility and
power.
Improved NVIDIA 3D
Vision Support — Users can now edit on single-display 3D computers
including VAIO F Series 3D laptops and VAIO L Series All-in-One 3D desktop
systems.
New Render Template
Filtering — New render dialogs create a more efficient environment
for searching and filtering render templates speeding up the workflow for
finalizing output formats.
Industry-Leading
Innovation, Broad Format Support
Sony Creative Software
continues to innovate with support for 3D technology and strong integrated
video and audio tools through its latest version. Vegas Pro 11 improves on its
"no transcode, no re-wrap" heritage by adding native format support for
stereoscopic 3D MVC and MPO files from Sony camcorders and DSLRs. By
eliminating the transcode and re-wrap process required by other applications,
Vegas Pro 11 users can save valuable production time, minimize storage
requirements, and preserve the pristine quality of the original source
material. Other natively supported codecs and formats include XDCAM, XDCAM EX,
HDCAM-SR, NXCAM, AVCHD, AVCCAM, RED R3D, RED EPIC, and AVC-based.MOV and RAW
files from popular DSLR cameras. Native P2 support is also available with an
optional plug-in. Users now have the option to render to the AVC/MP4 file
format which includes progressive file download support for streaming
purposes.
Vegas Pro 11 easily handles
complex projects with multiple formats and mixed resolutions, from standard
definition to 4K. The intuitive, integrated stereoscopic workflow in Vegas Pro
11 enables novices as well as experienced editors to produce compelling 3D
content without the added expense or complexity of aftermarket plug-ins.
