not quite sure how you mean revolutionise?

as john correctly points out, vegas stays at the cutting edge of nle technlogy, but that said, it doesn't as yet actually edit for you, listen to voice commands, etc., now that would be revolutionary - be like sitting next to your editor and saying 3 frames forward cut, ah, stick a 15 frame dissolve there. bring up audio bin, play track 6, etc., etc.,

meanwhile, we'll have to suffer pushing buttons (along with vfw).....

This is the second time you have asked this question - you were previously asked exactly why and what you really wanted to know - you didn't respond before, so how about giving it a try this time?

"Sony is without doubt an ingenuity house that makes people around the world want to buy it products simply because it has the name Sony on it, which has become synonym to quality, innovation, and the highest standard you expect on this planet."

Quality yes, innovation in manufacturing yes. Cutting edge innovation in design is not something any Japanese company does well, sorry. Just look up the history of Sony and the Walkman if you need any proof. That is changing, slowly.

As for SCS, Sony isn't a software development house. Have you seen any of the software that comes with Sony cameras, or any of the other cameras for that matter.
Sony owns at least two software development companies but the relationship is very much arms length.
Sony probably were the driving force behind BluPrint and the other BD authoring tools from SCS. Beyond that nothing. That Vegas supports the RED is proof of how little Sony has to do with SCS. I really had to read the press release twice when SCS announced support for the RED.

In fairless I should add that Sony did have another very good NLE, probably developed inhouse, called Xpri. It got a lot of good reviews but just couldn't gain enough traction to remain viable. SCS did some work with the Xpri team for a while, it would have been grand if Xpri lived on and we could have moved projects between Vegas and Xpri.

"As for SCS, Sony isn't a software development house. Have you seen any of the software that comes with Sony cameras, or any of the other cameras for that matter."

Absolutely the whole point. I have never seen software included with a camera that wasn't downright putrid. The absolute best thing you can do with any of it is to smash the disc it came on and toss it ... before even cracking the seal on the envelope. Pixela was the worst, most user hostile program i have ever seen. (Admittedly the last time i looked at it was probably 10 years ago, but that look was enough to swear off it for life.) My boss fought with it for 3 weeks and wasn't able to transfer a single picture from his camera. He finally called me in to figure it out for him and i spent a couple hours with the same result. I then showed him how to drag the pictures from the memory card over to the hard drive, which was drop-dead simple. He picked up the disk that the Pixela software came on and asked, "so what the hell was this for?"

I should hope that Sony never has anything to do with the development of Vegas.

@John_Cline, the information you provided confirms that Sony has indeed put it ingenuity in it creative software line and remain the boss like we expect it to be.
