Annoyingly the release notes page seems to be unavailable. Anyone able to view it and if so could they kindly copy and paste the contents here? Thanks.

[Edward Troxel]

If you install it, there should also be release notes in the Vegas 11 folder inside Program Files. Perhaps you could pull it up there and post the listed changes?

[Ian Stark]

Done!

Notable fixes/changes in version 11.0 (Build 425)
Enabled GPU acceleration for NVIDIA GPUs with Compute Capability prior to 2.0 when using driver 285.62 or newer. See this Web page for a list of Compute Capability levels for various NVIDIA GPUs: | NVIDIA Developer Zone.

3.0 Known Issues
The Windows Media Audio 9 Voice codec is not included with the Windows Media Player 11 update. If you've installed Windows Media Player 11, rendering to Windows Media Audio 9 format will produce an error. For more information, please refer to Knowledge Base article 932390 on the Microsoft Help and Support site.
If you are printing a rendered file to HDV tape, the file must precisely conform to the target HDV device and file type requirements, or the print-to-tape operation will fail. Rendering using the provided HDV MPEG-2 render templates—unmodified in any way—is required to successfully print to HDV tape.
Vegas Pro templates for rendering multichannel audio in .wav/.wav64, .avi, and .mxf formats may be visible in other Sony Creative Software Inc. applications that do not support multichannel audio. Using these templates in other applications will not produce the desired result and should be avoided.
Under some uncommon conditions on multiprocessor machines, you may encounter stability problems when using some Waves 5.2 plug-ins. In most cases, the stability issues can be resolved by clearing the Enable track buffering check box in Vegas Pro 10 (Options > Preferences > Audio Device).
You may not be able to render files larger than 4 GB using some combinations of settings in the Sony AVC encoder.
If you have multiple Sony applications (such as ACID, Sound Forge, CD Architect, etc.) installed, uninstalling other Sony applications may cause your audio plug-ins to be removed from Vegas Pro. To restore your audio plug-ins, uninstall and reinstall Vegas Pro.
When the Show Video Monitor button in the Trimmer window is selected, video that you preview from the Vegas Explorer and Media Manager windows is played back in the Trimmer. Because the Trimmer is placed in the same window dock as the Explorer and Media Manager, you will not see your video preview. To preview Explorer and Media Manager video, you can drag the Trimmer to a new dock group, or you can turn off the Show Video Monitor button to preview in the Video Preview window.
The Step Forward and Step Backward buttons in the Capture window are not supported by all HDV devices.
If your project contains still-image sequences or segmented .r3d files, do not select the Copy media with project check box in the Save As dialog. Some frames or segments may not be saved when this check box is selected.
The following features are not available in the 64-bit version of Vegas 11.0. If you need to use the following features, you can share projects between 32- and 64-bit versions of Vegas 11.0 installations, performing editing as needed in 32-bit Vegas 11.0 and finishing the project in 64-bit Vegas 11.0:
Rendering templates created in 32-bit Vegas 11.0 are not available in 64-bit Vegas 11.0.
Gracenote support is not available.
AAF import and export are not available.
Third-party plug-ins will work only if they are 64-bit plug-ins. Please check with the plug-in vendor for available updates.
Installing driver 2.21 for the PDW-UI XDCAM drive can prevent Vegas from starting. Uninstalling the driver or upgrading to version 2.3 will resolve the issue.
If you're running two instances of Vegas Pro, external control devices are available only to the first instance of the sofware.
When using the Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Card as your preview device with an nVidia 3D Vision for Quadro or 3D Vision Pro setup on a Windows Vista machine, the 3D output may stop when opening another window (such as a video FX property page). If this occurs, please make sure you have the latest graphic card driver and 3D Vision USB driver installed. If installing the latest drivers does not fix the problem, try switching the primary and secondary monitors. There is also a known issue where content on the main window will flicker. This can be fixed by moving another window over the portions of the window that are flickering and then closing the overlapping window.
We recommend Windows 7 for nVidia 3D Vision for Quadro setups.
Rendering CineForm Neo3D files requires CineForm NeoHD, Neo4K, or Neo3D 5.1 (or newer) or GoPro-CineForm Studio, Studio Premium or Studio Professional. The CineForm Neo Player is not compatible with other CineForm products. Do not install Neo Player if you have another CineForm product installed.
Version 5 of the AJA device drivers support 64-bit versions of Windows 7 only.
CEA608 and CEA708 closed captions are supported over HD-SDI on AJA cards only. Line 21 captions are supported on AJA and DeckLink cards.
Right-clicking a media file and choosing Edit Source Project fails to load the project path saved in the media file for media rendered using the following settings: MainConcept AVC/AAC and Sony AVC (Memory Stick templates only).
OpenCL GPU rendering is not available when using AMD Radeon Catalyst driver 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, and 11.6. Please use driver version 11.7.
In order for some devices to appear in the Device Explorer window, you may need to change the device’s USB Connect setting from Automatic or MTP to Mass Storage.
The Tools > Burn Disc > DVD with Menus and Tools > Burn Disc > Blu-ray Disc with Menus commands are unavailable if DVD Architect Pro is not installed.
If you want to use RAW camera files in your project, the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack will allow you to view RAW camera files and add them to the timeline.
Using the Blackmagic HD Extreme with the Blackmagic ASIO Driver can cause Vegas Pro to hang.

Drori posted re: update apparently before I did, didn't see his post, sorry! I think it showed up later, but he posted first.

I've downloaded it, the original it working pretty well for me so far, so I might wait to see what you guys think before I do it!

This looks like a worthwhile update, for sure.

[Chris Barcellos]

Can you post the notes for the update.

[Ian Stark]

They're in the competing thread! http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/what-hap...egas-11-a.html

[Chris Hurd]

Duplicate threads now merged.

[Dror Levi]

for some reason I am not able to download the 64 bit but only the 32 bit,
Do you know of any other page to download the 64bit.

This is what i am getting


"The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

[Mike Kujbida]

Dror, a lot of users are downloading it right now so keep trying and you'll get it sooner or later.

[Ian Stark]

Yes, my download took something like 8 minutes for the 64 bit but only around 45 seconds for the 32 bit (100Mbps broadband), suggesting the former is popular!

p.s. thanks Chris.

[Jeff Harper]

When I opened updated version, it crashed right away, but since then it's working fine.

Runs really sweetly now. Id upgraded my graphics card especially for version 11, but there were still a few issues. Now, hopefully, they seem to have gone away - and the NewBlue Pro Titler really rocks!
