Still waiting for 64bit version...

[Mike Kujbida]

All versions are now available.

OFX features in 1/3 of the changelog entries. Maybe I'm being cynical when I wonder if that smacks of a technology that was hastily incorporated ;-)

[Jeff Harper]

The list of things they had to fix boggels the mind...I wouldn't want the job for a million bucks.

Thanks Sony!

Not quite Ian. They release it hastily .. and let the users find the bugs. Did you read some of them .. and it says 'notable' fixes.

I know a developer here, who nearly blew his brains out back at Version 8 .. I believe it was.

Cheers.

Hope it addrs that memory low issue. Still have it sometimes.. I have this weird issue of rendering black screens in parts of the video. Anyone has it?

I have a hunch that one of the less notable fixes was my issue with Vegas crashing too frequently whenever I switched through the File tab from one Vegas project to another. I brought this up here once or twice and no one else reflected upon it, so I just began filling a report every time that Sony popup asked for details after a crash. Well, so far no crashes and I've given it quite a workout; so thanks from me, Sony.
