Option for change L/R in 3D video
Option for change synronization in separate L-R 3D video after pairing
Faster rendering, i hate seeing that my i7 cpu cores use only 20-30%

-Get rid of the old VFW
-DCP export
-No dropouts in 5.1 surround mixing when adding mutliple tracks and plugins
-Change the look of the mixer like nuendo or protools
-Prores out
-Waveform expands as gain is applied
-Better compatibility when exporting to other DAW's and NLE's

will think of more once more coffee is in the system

Just rewrite the base code, bring it up to modern specs. Cut features at first if you need to. Make it solid, make it fast, make it clean code-wise so further revisions are not painful.

Keep the GUI and start over basically.

-Better GPU support, Quadro etc.
-Video preview window, better performance and preview with CPU and GPU
-Rolling credits generator, no jutter

A decent titler package with built in anti aliasing.

1. Tracking
2. Modern GPU support
3. Ability to import roto mask from other software without plugins.

*MAYBE* they'll take thier current best NLE, with modern GPU support, and adapt all the Vegas GOOD PARTS to it, rename IT to Vegas and POOF! New under code :)

Similar to Resolve -

1) Image stabilization FAST and GOOD

2) "Optical flow" retiming/slow motion.

3) "Per effect" masking

+1 Tracking

+1 Auto & selective image tracking.

VMP

A very modest feature I've been requesting for years:

The ability to vary the colour of Markers for different uses.

Please Fix P2 Support!

Note to those writing to Santa.

If Vegas is to be rewritten then the features already in Vegas that you want retained should also be listed.

Do we still want VFW compatibility? What else can be dropped?

Don't ask, don't get.

Codec Stuff...

• Inputs:
  • ProRes (without Quicktime)
  • H.265
• Outputs:
  • H.265
  • ProRes
  • MKV container
  • Animated GIF
• AVC/MP4 smart-rendering (including AVC+LPCM formats used by Panasonic)
• Improved H.264 encoding (cf. x264 codec or at least the latest MainConcept codec)
• Improved MPEG2 encoding speed and quality (c.f. Cinemacraft)
• Native frameserving (now that Debugmode Framesever development has stopped)
• Enable alpha channel option for all VFW codecs
• Enable 10-bit+ support for 3rd-party VFW codecs such as MagicYUV

Advanced Tech Stuff...

• Robust, modern GPU acceleration
• Improved slow-motion (optical flow, motion estimation)
• Motion-adaptive deinterlacing (cf. Handbrake, QTGMC)
• High-quality denoising
• Advanced resizing (Spline36/Lanczos3/Lanczos4) or even gamma-aware resizing
• Improved stabilization

Audio-only...

• Allow positive values in audio event gain envelopes
• Ability to auto-update normalizing of audio events (if the loudest parts of some events get trimmed since normalizing)
• Ability to show separate audio plug-in windows (e.g. a VST master meter in a separate window from a track compressor so we can see both together)
• Improved audio scrubbing (current implementation is way inferior even to Premiere 6)
  • Lock the pitch and make speech intelligible
  • Scrub audio when using a Contour Shuttle jog wheel
• Rewire support (Reason into Vegas)

Color-correction...

• Auto-levels FX
• Automated mapping of blacks and whites to desired values (e.g. 16 and 235)
• LUT FX:
  • Import LUT
  • Apply LUT to media/event
  • Adjust and animate strength of LUT
  • Create/Export LUT from single FX' settings or Filter Package (chain of FX) settings
• Color Curves:
  • much bigger window with a grid
  • a diagonal bottom-left-to-top-right guide line
  • real numbers on the axes
  • live output of coordinates
  • the ability to input precise coordinates
  • ability to change the RGB master curve after "splitting" the individual Red-Green-Blue curves.
  • make "Show all channels" default to ON, like it used to in VP10 and earlier
  • make the curve endpoints deselected by default (to avoid this confusion).

GUI/Workflow Stuff...

• Media Manager improvements as suggested in this post.
• Better handling of video levels (but keep the option to edit and preview as it is now)
• A "Computer RGB <> Studio RGB" switch over the preview window
• Ability to dynamically pan and zoom preview window
• Full screen preview, especially on single-screen systems like laptops
• Live display of the event length on the event itself, especially during ripple editing, like this:

• A visual indication of the existence of a head and tail of an event
• Selective copy/paste of individual event attributes, not just all of them (plus choice to append or replace)
• I-frame markers on events on the timeline and trimmer
• "Filmstrip" view of video files in the Explorer and Project Media windows showing multiple frames within the file (Scenalyzer etc. have this)
• Static preview thumnails (of output) in the video bus track
• Ability to show/hide markers and regions (including independently of each other)
• Rosebud's "Go To" custom command functionality built into Vegas (i.e. Ability to quickly jump to instances of media from the media pool, from the media's context menu)
• Copy and paste events from one project to another without opening 2 instances of Vegas
• Tabbed projects. Multiple projects in tabs in same window. Copy and paste between them.
• Ability to store .sfap0 files in a folder other than the project folder (they can be huge and would be better on media drive)
• Improved intelligence in locating offline media
• Intelligence to show whether auto-saved project or last manual save is more recent
• Bring back the ability to open a project by dropping it on the Vegas Pro title bar
• Bring back the default uncompressed render template
• Shuffle events to work across multiple tracks
• Ability to auto-add video events to project media as they are rendered (as happens already with stills)
• Add "Selected Event" as a render option (not just loop region)
• Ability to split a video event by scene (optical detection)
• Description of custom templates to automatically update to what the custom template actually is, not what it was originally based on
• Ability to totally lock/unlock tracks
• Video opacity and audio gain keyframeable on an event level, not just track level.
• Properties of generated media to automatically adapt to project settings (or create a command to manually update them)
• Fix keyframe smoothness so it only affects spatial smoothness, not temporal
• Allow motion to move along a spline or other path that we draw (Pan/Crop or Track Motion)
• Bring back Pan/Crop path indicators
• Ability to bypass Pan/Crop changes (like we can bypass FX with the tick box)
• Ability to display tooltip of the file name when hovering over an event in the timeline
• A more automatic way than this to migrate window & keyboard layouts between versions
• If at all possible, maintain project backwards compatibility to VP13 (and VP12)
• Make the GUI scale properly on high-resolution displays. The icons etc. are too small
• Extend scripting API to include:
  • Trim.Start (ALT+[)
  • Trim.End (ALT+])
  • Post-edit ripple (CTRL+F)
• A way to migrate Project Properties templates between version without using the registry
• Right mouse button to do the Selection Edit Tool in the timeline instead of selecting Loop Region.
• Restore mousewheel horizontal scrolling in Explorer window List view (used to work in VP10 etc.)

Promote from Internal Preferences to normal Preferences...

• Show Unquantized event start (I always set TRUE)
• Show Unquantized event end (I always set TRUE)
• msAutoSaveInterval (I like 60,000 not 300,000)
• Use new event delete ripple logic (I always set FALSE)

Thx for the last 4 tips! :)

All of the above what have been written...but i miss:

-Keep OFX intergration as it is (Neblue, Red Giant, Sapphire etc.)

My 2 Bob's worth:

1] Pre Roll in Pan/Crop that reveals any Transition.

2] Thumbwheel/Scrolling Control in Pan/Crop

3] Audio Event Envelopes - not just the whole Track!

4] External Viewer Safe Grids Overlays. They're in DVDA.

5] Get rid iof ALL the Text modules, 'cept Legacy, and get/buy in a working version.

6] Tracking - yes!

7] Get some Logic to the ergonomics of these great Tools, once and for all:



8] Warning about the Ripple Edit still engaged.

As Nick said: Yah don't ask . . . .

Grazie

pause/resume rendering

@relaxvideo, SeMW Extensions has a script that does this - along with several others - and they're all free :)

Mike

Please, for the love of the universe / all that's Holy..

Retain ( and possibly improve ) all eternal imports/exports to Resolve / Prem / AE including the old Vegas .TXT format

I don't see anything like this listed with the Magix NLE

Improved color profile and levels handling.

- tom

--Full 10BIT support in and out

--Better handling of .mov files, no crashing

---Better nesting support with long form projects, when nesting several scenes onto a master timeline, vegas hangs or crashes. Not sure if it's due to the old VFW implementation.

Not good for a feature film, documentary workflow etc.
