September 12th, 2008 by Rob Strobbe | Filed under News.Sony Creative Software has released Sony Vegas Pro 8.0c as well as Sony Vegas Pro 8.1. 8.0c adds new features to the 32-bit application for broadcast workflows, and 8.1 is the long-awaited version optimized for 64-bit operating systems.
Vegas Pro 8.c
The Vegas Pro 8.0c software now features extensive support for the new PDW-1500 XDCAM deck and the newest Sony video camera formats including XDCAM HD 4:2:2. The Vegas Pro software scales intuitively on the user’s system, ensuring that it takes full advantage of all hardware capabilities. The new Smart Render feature supports most news acquisition formats, providing the ability for news corporations to get content to air rapidly. Newly enhanced trimmer tools support broadcast editing workflows, while the new Fit-to-Fill function enables broadcasters to automate cuts to match content to the exact seconds allotted for their story. Vegas Pro 8.0c also now includes 24p support for those working with film framerate style content.
Vegas Pro 8.1
Vegas Pro 8.1 has been engineered to take full advantage of the 64-bit operating system to enable users to work with multifaceted, memory-intensive projects. The Vegas Pro 8.1 64-bit program is a standalone application that does not require users to have Vegas Pro 8.0 preinstalled on their system. However, Vegas Pro 8.1 has been designed with backwards compatibility with the 32-bit Vegas Pro application so users can create a project in one platform and open it in the other. This provides users with the ability to work with a 64-bit version for the performance gains, but also work in the 32-bit system for continued broad hardware and codec support.
Both updates are free for registered users of Sony Vegas Pro 8.0. Read the full press release and download the updates from the Sony Creative Software website.
