Installed Build 444 without a problem ....... so far.

Issue with Preview Master Bus has not been addressed and still crashes Vegas unless you keep it floating.

Rumor has it ...XAVC-L codec news straight from the top at Sony (SCS) today. but can't divulge sources at this point....-We at SCS are in the process of finishing the work on VegasPro 13 XAVC L support and the plan is to have that out before the beginning of April 2015."

FYI _

Vegas Pro 13 can now open Movie Studio 13 project files.
Added support for rendering XAVC HD (1920x1080) video in 50i and 59.94i formats.
Fixed a bug that could cause Vegas Pro to crash during startup on some machines that have JRiver Media Center installed.
Fixed a bug that could cause Vegas Pro to crash when using File > Import > Import Media from Project.
Fixed a bug that could cause Vegas Pro to crash on some computers when expanding the HitFilm plug-ins in the Video FX window.
Fixed a bug that could cause Vegas Pro to crash when dragging some audio plug-ins from the Plug-In Manager to audio events.

Fixed a bug that could create a loop region when attempting to multiselect locked events using shift-click.
Fixed a bug that could cause the Project Media window to scroll unexpectedly when right-clicking an event and choosing Select in Project Media List.
Fixed a bug that prevented timecode from being read for Panasonic P2 clips that span multiple files.

now Vegas crashes on every exit. Great. :)

Not here, mate.

I don't need to render to it. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO READ IT. Still can't open -L files from my X70. Maybe its me. j

No crashes on exit here either yet.

Of the bugs that affect me, only the following one is fixed. I wish SCS would report such bug fixes in the release notes like they used to.

Closed captions do not display

However none of the following 7 bugs are fixed:

1. Crash when renaming files in Vegas Explorer window
2. Panasonic GH4 23.976p and 24p clips have extended video
3. Crash after paste event attributes
4. Bug loading windows layout at startup
5. GPU bug: Pale edges of imported Photoshop layers
6. Sony Sharpen behaves differently with GPU
7. Project Properties Frame Rate Undo Bug

Disappointing, especially considering it's more than 4 months since the last release.

Of those bugs, #1 only affects VP13. The others affect both VP12 and VP13.

It's you. VP13 new build reads XAVC-L without problems (at least the 1080p version files from the X70 camera that I just tested.

SCS why would you include fixes in Build 444 and not list them?

^ This.

Hi, all--

You're right -- the Closed Captioning fix should have been included in the "Notable fixes/changes in version 13.0 (build 444)" list.

I've revised the release notes, and the new version will be posted shortly.

I apologize for the confusion.

Thank you Kevin....
That one was a long time coming.

Downloaded Build 444 and installed it. However, is it just me... When I open Vegas it shows Build 428, not Build 444. Did it not install? The installation says it updated just fine.

Anybody else notice this? And... is it possible I didn't really install the update? It said that it saw the older version...

Help!
Ribbit...

Well it seem its not just me having trouble with x70-L files. DVinfo folks are having the same problem.

Vegas seems to load files from other cams that are using the -L format but not from the x70.

I'm sure they will figure it out. j

A single sample experience - use this info with a grain of salt.

It WILL IMPORT XAVC-L files from the Sony PXW-X200 but IT WILL NOT IMPORT XAVC-L files from the PXW-X70. At least that's my - the original writer - experience of this moment. If anyone else can confirm this ASAP I, the user reporting this, would love to here back. ( I ) have contacted Sony SCS and have sent them files and media file breakdowns on the differences in the file structures of the two cameras in question. I've only just done this so no response as yet.

The ONLY difference I can see in the file structures between the two XAVC-L 422 50-mbit 50P files from the two different cameras is in the file 'Transfer characteristic' readouts. See below:

Sony PXW-X200
Color primaries : BT.709
Transfer characteristics : BT.709
Matrix coefficients : BT.709

Sony PXW-X70
Color primaries : BT.709
Transfer characteristics : IEC 61966-2-4 ?????? What's with this?
Matrix coefficients : BT.709

Why the difference in the PXW-X70 having IEC 61966-2-4 characteristics as opposed to the PXW-200 and the other XAVC-L cameras which all show BT.709 as the transfer characteristic?

[I] IEC 61966-2-4 ?????? What's with this?[/I]

Isn't that x.v.Color ?

BTW: The AX100 files show the same transfer characteristics as the X70.

The HSL Adjust effect GPU=ON problem has not been fixed.

The Wave Hammer Demo problem is still not fixed.

and of course the Titles and Text fonts issue is still there.

Thanks Kevin!

Discussed the wrong loading windows lay-out after restart with the support team after I got a reply about 6 weeks after submitting.. They are way too busy with the catalyst and spectralayers issues and did apologize for the laste reply. When they finally understood the issue of the windows lay-out , I was asked to submit a prouct suggestion to the other ? team . ( they also confirmed being aware of the mouse getting stuck when trying to glide the audio master and that this will b fixed later in a next release ).
Petty vegas pro being putten the last on the list. ( catalyst edit gets priority since a while )

On my FS7 sample, MediaInfo also reports "Transfer characteristics : IEC 61966-2-4", and yet I can ingest the file into VP13 444. However - even though the sample clip I got is just 4:2:0, 8 bit - it being Long-GOP throws Vegas to its knees, literally.

Frankly, I don't get it as the sample clips from the AX100 I have are also "AVC Long" (as Catalyst Browse reports) , 4:2:0 8 bit, and they play full speed in Vegas... OK, these are the "consumer" XAVC-S codec, but - with everything the same - what is the reason of FS7 codec being so "hard" for Vegas?

YEA! Fixing new profit stuffs instead of fixing CURRENT dysfunctional product! FTW :(
