Some file formats benefit more than others when it comes to this new feature in Vegas.
Here, I've uploaded a zip file that has a clip from a raw HDV event, no color processing, nothing done other than watermark and title added.
It was rendered straight to NTSC Widescreen MPEG2 from the Vegas timeline.
Then, I opened my Vegas 8 properties, merely changed the bit depth from 8 bit to 32bit float, changed the title/overlay, and rendered to the same template.
Look at the latitude difference. It's huge.
This is a good starting point in understanding what 32bit float *may* mean to you.
