Sony Vegas - Professional HD Video, Audio, and DVD Creation!
The Vegas+DVD Production Suite combines Vegas 7, DVD Architect 4, and
Dolby Digital® AC-3 encoding software to offer an integrated
environment for all phases of professional video, audio, DVD, and
broadcast production. This suite lets you edit and process DV, HDV,
SD/HD-SDI, and all XDCAM formats in real time, fine-tune audio with
precision, and author surround sound, dual-layer DVDs.
* Precise Editing Tools
Arrange events
on the timeline using Windows® drag-and-drop functionality, then
expertly edit complex SD or HD projects using mouse or keyboard
trimming and powerful ripple editing modes. Features include improved
video monitoring, customizable window layouts, color-coded snapping,
improved HDV, SDI and XDCAM support, Cinescore plug-in support, A/V
synchronization detect and repair, playhead scrubbing, drag ripple and
arrange, source project editing, and auto-frame quantization.
* Efficient, Professional Workflow
The Vegas 7 interface provides a fully customizable workspace for
accomplishing a wide range of production requirements. Dock multiple
windows across multiple monitors, and save your layouts to fit specific
editing tasks; nest Vegas projects within the timeline, customize and
save keyboard commands, and use application scripting to automate
repetitive tasks. System-wide media management produces maximum
efficiency. Network rendering saves time by using multiple computers
and networked drive arrays to render complex projects. Vegas software
also supports 24p, HD and HDV editing.
* Superior Audio Control
Vegas software provides the ultimate in audio flexibility, including
unlimited tracks, 24-bit/192 kHz audio support, on the fly punch-in
recording, 5.1 surround mixing, effects automation, and time
compress/expand. Apply over 30 customizable, real-time audio effects
including EQ, Reverb, Delay, and more. Vegas 7 software natively
supports VST audio plug-ins-expanding your audio processing and mixing
options.
* Powerful DVD Authoring
Create DVDs with multiple video angles, subtitles, multiple languages,
and running commentary. Apply image-correction filters to fine-tune
still images and video. Filters include Brightness and Contrast,
Levels, Auto Levels, Crop, and Anti-Flicker. Set CSS and Macrovision®
copy-protection flags when creating masters. DVD Architect 4 software
also supports the latest devices including dual-layer DVD burners.
