Sony's Vegas Pro 10.0 -
video-editing software has a less-flashy reputation compared with
competitors Apple Final Cut Pro 7 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, but this
powerful application has its fans, too. The latest version, Sony Vegas
Pro 10 ($700 as of November 23, 2010; upgrade from previous versions,
$250), gains some features that the other programs already had, but it
also gains a few new functions that are unique, including
stereoscopic-3D editing.
In Stereo(scopic)
Stereoscopic-3D video editing means that you can use the software to
produce 3D movies from 2D content (and, of course, to edit footage from
3D camcorders, once they finally come on the market) and play back the
results on 3D televisions and PCs. In Vegas Pro 10, you enable
stereoscopic mode with a menu command, and then make adjustments to the
effect using a filter. I didn't try the results using 3D glasses and a
3D TV, but the old-fashioned cyan-and-red 3D setting (you can choose
from among other settings) made the effect hard to miss, even without
glasses. The feature has the same system requirements as high-def video
editing does.
Another new feature, image stabilization, works much like other
packages' stabilization features in that it analyzes the video and
reduces movement--even from reckless zooming in and out--by floating the
video image in the frame and then cropping it. I found that the image
stabilization worked very well with the footage I tried it on--a movie I
had shot on an old train while it was moving. You can set the feature
to crop automatically, or you can adjust the settings manually; I had
good luck even with the automatic setting.
Other new features aren't unique, but are still plenty useful. Like
Adobe Premiere Pro, earlier versions of Vegas Pro had multicam
support--the ability to play multiple video tracks at once, and to
either click or use keyboard commands to make quick cuts between tracks
to set which angle appears in the final movie. But Vegas Pro 10 goes one
step further, adding a live preview. I found it very easy to use, and
it produced a snappy, upbeat movie.
GPU Acceleration--With One Gear
Another feature that has the potential to shake up the video-editing
world is GPU-based acceleration. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 introduced GPU
acceleration, which speeds up certain functions and rendering using your
computer's graphics card instead of its CPU, and now Vegas Pro 10 uses
the graphics processor to accelerate its output to Sony's .avc format.
However, at this point that's all it does--it accelerates just that one
function, and to one lone output format. By contrast, Premiere Pro CS5
uses the GPU to accelerate effects, timeline scrubbing, timeline
rendering, and rendering to several output formats; it even separates
effects into those that are GPU-friendly and those that are not.
Furthermore, despite the fact that my PC has a supported graphics card, I
saw no actual acceleration; the application relied on CPU power no
matter what I did. So, to me, Vegas Pro 10's single-function
acceleration isn't even worth touting on the box.
On the other hand, Vegas Pro 10 offers an extensive range of audio
controls, far more than in Premiere Pro CS5 (mainly because Premiere Pro
relies on a companion application, Soundbooth, to handle heavy-duty
audio tasks). New capabilities in Vegas include the ability to add audio
effects to the master output, to the bus level (going to external
hardware), to individual audio tracks, or at the "event" (or clip)
level. It even supports 24-bit/192KHz audio, very high-quality sound
supported on Blu-ray Discs and in the moribund DVD Audio format.
Most of the time, Vegas Pro 10 operates smoothly and quickly; it feels
perky and stable. That could be in part because it is a 64-bit
application (which Vegas Pro has been since version 8), so it can take
advantage of larger amounts of RAM. You can get it in a 32-bit version,
though, that will run even on Windows XP. Final Cut Pro runs only on
Macs, of course, and Premiere Pro CS5 is exclusively 64-bit on both Macs
and Windows.
A new plug-in architecture--OpenFX--allows Vegas Pro to accept effects
from third-party developers, and the application comes with many
standard-looking effects. Sony says Vegas Pro 10 comes with more than
300 video and audio effects.
I Want My 3D
If you're eager to create 3D home videos for your 3D HDTV, Vegas Pro 10
is your only option at this point. Beyond that, it has many things going
for it, but until Sony kicks that GPU-acceleration feature up a notch,
Premiere Pro CS5 will continue to own the performance advantage.
