Has anyone heard if v12 will be 64 bit only? I didn't really want to have to upgrade my PC just yet...

Mike Kujbida · September 23rd, 2012, 09:17 AM

All we know so far is what Sony said in the IBC press release.

Robin look at the Video: 2:02 "64-bit Exclusively", kinda unequivocal right there!

Are you still running an old Pentium 4 or older CPU that's not 64-bit capable? Or is your hardware 64-bit capable but you're still running a 32-bit OS?

In either case, Vegas Pro 12 will be 64-bit only. No 32-bit support for the forthcoming version. And once the last 32-bit version of Vegas Pro gets its further support discontinued, you'll be stuck with cheapo consumer NLEs such as Vegas Movie Studio.

Thanks Grazie. I completely missed that :(

Sean Seah · September 23rd, 2012, 10:50 AM

Yes it seems to be 64bit only. All I can say now is it is definately worth the upgrade =) BMCC + Vegas + Resolve...

Chris Barcellos · September 23rd, 2012, 02:09 PM

Wish I had my ordered BMCC to concur with rest Sean's post, but I do think upgrade is going to add a lot of benefit. I can confirm it is 64bit only in Beta version at least.

Yeah, I'm not surprised, it lasts for a split second on the screen.

Given Vegas Movie Studio and Vegas Pro share the same code base, I would bet dollars to donuts that 32 bit support will get dropped even in Movie Studio. For some time now the default OS installation on a new PC has been Windows7x64, so it's easy for me to understand that's where software suppliers are headed.

Has anyone upgraded to Vegas Pro 12? What are your experiences so far?

Chris Barcellos · October 3rd, 2012, 01:33 PM

I Beta tested and have now upgraded. Remember it is 64 bit only. In Beta testing three different versions, there were little bugs that the next version resolved.

My favorite aspect of this one so far is color match. You can take the look off of about any photo in the world and apply it to your footage and get a consistent look.

I did one major project in beta, and used compositing, masking, Cineform files, and other FX, and no major problems.

using vegas 12 with a gtx 560 ti (448 core) running fine including newblue titler pro.

I upgraded from VP10 on Sunday.No problems so far. Not sure about the dialog box for codec choice in 'render as' which has changeed from 10, but DNxHD and Cineform codecs are both fully functional now. Haven't installed the New Blue stuff yet as I will be upgrading the Edit Workstation soon with CUDA GPU and SSD for widows and programs.

Graham Bernard · October 4th, 2012, 01:11 AM

Yeah, the Render As dialogue "skewed" me for a bit. But now when I need to access VP10, and do a Render As I miss the new (actually present in VP11 too . . I think?) that are now available in VP12.

Also the Thumbnails in VegasExplorer - a revelation!

Grazie
