Sony Vegas Pro 10.0d

The NLE now includes new closed captioning options, 3D solutions, support for AMD’s ATI graphics chipsets using OpenCL as well as an new track group workflow.

Vegas Pro 10.0d's enhanced closed captioning support now provides broadcast editors with the ability to read and write closed captioning embedded in MPEG-2, which is designed to enable a unified workflow for EIA-608, EIA-708 and MXF delivery options. Furthering the software’s editing functions, Vegas Pro 10.0d incorporates timeline burning to full-frame 3D Blu-ray Discs.D.

Vegas Pro 10.0d expands its GPU accelerated AVC encoding support to video editing professionals using AMD ATI graphics chipsets which support OpenCL, the open standard for parallel programming of heterogeneous systems. This new feature is designed to enable faster project rendering when using the Sony AVC encoder. Additional updates include MVC and MPO 3D file format compatibility from Sony cameras including TD10, NX3D1, TD300 and the Alpha and NEX series, providing users with added support for advanced camera and media technologies.
