Vegas Pro 11 software also includes support for still images greater than one gigapixel in resolution. Use Pan and Scan to create a stunning movie sequence from these large pictures while maintaining HD resolution.
Superior audio control: Vegas software provides the ultimate in audio flexibility, including unlimited tracks, 24-bit/192 kHz audio support, on-the-fly punch-in recording, 5.1 surround mixing, effects automation, and time compress/expand. Apply over 30 customizable, real time audio effects including EQ, Reverb, Delay, and more. Vegas Pro 11 software natively supports VST audio plug-ins--expanding your audio processing and mixing options.
Efficient, Professional Workflow for 32- and 64-bit systems: The Vegas Pro 11 interface provides a fully customizable workspace for accomplishing a wide range of production requirements. Dock multiple windows across multiple monitors, and save your layouts to fit specific editing tasks; nest Vegas projects within the timeline, customize and save keyboard commands, and use application scripting to automate repetitive tasks. System-wide media management produces maximum efficiency. Network rendering saves time by using multiple computers and networked drive arrays to render complex projects. Vegas Pro software also supports 24p, HD and HDV editing.
Powerful Blu-ray Disc Authoring: Burn movies to Blu-ray Disc directly from the Vegas Pro timeline for high-definition delivery. Use DVD Architect Pro software (included with the Vegas Pro collection) to author DVDs or Blu-ray Disc media with multiple video angles, subtitles, multiple languages, and special features. Preview and test your work in real time. Apply Brightness and Contrast, Auto Levels, Crop, and Anti-Flicker filters. Set CSS and Macrovision copy-protection flags for masters.
3D Anaglyphic. View larger.
Stereoscopic 3D Editing: Creating stereoscopic 3D projects is as easy as working with 2D media. With innovative new tools, Vegas Pro 11 provides the ability to import, adjust, edit, preview, and output stereoscopic 3D media in various formats. Delivery formats include single or dual files including side-by-side, top/bottom, or line alternate as well as traditional anaglyphic encoding.
Closed-captioning support. View larger.
Closed Captioning Support: Closed captioning support offers broadcast editors a workflow that enables the importing, editing, previewing, and exporting of CEA-608 captioned data in high definition Sony XDCAM MXF material. In addition, Vegas Pro 11 provides CEA-708 uplifting and encoding, Line 21 decode and render support, HD-SDI capture and print, and support for industry closed captioning file types.
Enhanced Video Plug-In Architecture: The new video effects plug-in architecture, based on the Open Effects Association platform, provides updated and enhanced technology that enables third-party plug-in developers to develop advanced video effect plug-ins more easily and rapidly. Additional plug-ins offer Vegas Pro 11 users hundreds of new effect and special techniques for creating professional-level projects.
Audio Event FX: Vegas Pro 11 allows editors to assign audio effects at the master output, bus level, track level, and now the event level for greater flexibility when working with multitrack projects.
Track Grouping: Grouping tracks saves space on the Vegas Pro timeline by collapsing related tracks under a single track header. This is a quick and easy way to organize and manage complex projects by grouping specific sections of video/audio.
QuickTime AVC Decode: Editors using popular DSLRs that record to QuickTime AVC gain significant improvement in playback performance.
Full-featured XDCAM workflow: The Vegas Pro 11 workflow for XDCAM and XDCAM EX is extremely intuitive and efficient. Vegas Pro 11 software provides all the tools needed to edit proxy and full resolution HD and SD XDCAM MXF files natively and supports all frame rates and aspect ratios, multichannel audio, EssenceMarks metadata, and all HD and SD XDCAM compression types. Vegas Pro 11 software can natively read all XDCAM EX frame rates and resolutions. The new integrated device explorer lets you preview and import only the files you need for your current project.
4K Support: Vegas Pro 11 software natively supports frame sizes up to 4096x4096. The 4K image standard for digital cinema projection is 4096 x 2160 pixels. This level of resolution provides more detail and flexibility to pan and crop. It is ideal for compositing and video effects work, as it provides a high-quality final output.
Digital Signage Support: Digital signage support in Vegas Pro 11 software makes it easy to author video for tall signage purposes. To shoot content for these displays, many tripods have a 90-degree camera-tilt option. With Vegas Pro 11 software you can edit in this format with a new "Rotation" setting in the video tab of Project Properties, as well as a "Rotation" setting in the Media Properties dialog (and related rotation commands in the Project Media item context menu). In addition to fast and easy rotation of source media, Vegas Pro 11 software can un-rotate the project output to render to existing widescreen formats, for playback on rotated displays.
Multicamera Workflow: Edit multicamera productions intuitively and quickly by specifying shots as you watch your project. Switch between as many as 32 video sources with a keyboard command or a click of your mouse. Vegas Pro 11 software keeps all unused shots as alternate takes to make fine-tuning your edits more efficient.
Sophisticated Lighting Effects: In version 10 are Glint, Rays, Defocus, Starburst, Soft Contrast, and Fill Light. These effects let you simulate the effect of light streaming in from behind your source, create colored highlights, change the focus of your shot and more.
Enhanced 32-bit Floating Point Video Processing: Work in 8-bit mode for speed, then switch to 32-bit floating point for extra precision during final rendering. This mode allows you to take advantage of greater color range for more vivid colors, reduced gradient banding and posterization for smoother color transitions, linear light capability for optically correct compositing, and many other precision enhancements.
Comprehensive HDV support: Vegas Pro 11 software includes support for high-performance native HDV M2T playback, and 601/709 color space handling. Experience superior SD downconversion and frame-rate conversion including 24p, and precision upconversion for HD-SDI mastering. Vegas Pro 11 software also has powerful no-recompress technology for faster render times.
Interactive Tutorials: Vegas Pro 11 software has a comprehensive help system, as well as detailed interactive tutorials that provide walk-through demonstrations of common features and functionality. These tutorials provide an easy step-by-step method of learning the product and the workflow necessary to complete most common tasks.
5.1 surround encoder: Officially tested and certified by Dolby Laboratories, Inc., this professional encoding software optimally prepares AC-3 output for surround sound productions on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Encode 5.1 multichannel or stereo mixes to AC-3 format inside Vegas Pro software.
Customizable transitions and effects: Vegas Pro 11 software includes over 190 video effects and 175 transitions --all fully customizable. Effects include: Film Effects, Chroma Key, Timecode Overlays, Media Generators, Credit Rolls, Text Effects and more. Use transitions such as: Clock Wipe, Dissolves, and Page Peels.
Advanced 3D video compositing: Create compelling 3D video and text effects, with control over Z-depth, plane intersection, compositing, and more. 3D motion is real time and previewable via IEEE-1394 hardware to an external monitor.

I started with SV 9, then 10, and now 11. First, I am Sony's biggest fan. I own 3 sony video cameras, SV consumer and pro, and I promote Sony. But SVP 11 is the worst product I have ever used by sony. It is unstable, crashes whenever I use FXs and I can't even use the NEW Blue titler. If you don't save your work product every 3 seconds, you will lose your work. I am comitted to Sony, but I refuse to give them anymore money until they improve. I would not recommend this and I strongly encourage everyone to stay away from this. SVP 10 is Awesome! If you have it, stay with it!

It crashes a lot when rendering a long project. I can render the same project in pieces, but it will run for over an hour or so then crash if I try to do the whole project at once. This is on an i7 machine with 12G ram, the latest drivers and updates. It doesn't matter if I use GPU or CPU rendering, they both crash.
Pretty poor product.

I have been with Sony Vegas since version 2.0...and I even worked with a friend's 1.0 version before I bought 2.0.
I have enjoyed it and purchase 4 or 5 upgrades through the years. I even instructed 2 editors with Sony Vegas who are now commercial editors.
But version 11 from the start has been the most frustrating experience i have had. hang-ups, untold numbers of error reports and crashes. I contacted Sony about it and after several days they sent a reply that basically said, "turn off any of the new stuff and see if that works". What? turn off the things I upgraded for? Really? Another company telling me that I am the one who has bad equipment or am editing challenged?
I waited for their update, build 682, but nothing changed. If I had the money and time now I would jump to Adobe...if I had more money and time than that I would jump to Final Cut. But if what Final Cut people tell me is true, it seems that both Mac and Sony have decided to put a throttle on this level of editing...dumb things down. Maybe the evil empire of Adobe is the only one willing to put real resources into this level of editing?
I pray that something will soon convince Sony to go back to version 10 or something. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news about a company that I have defended through the years, but I feel betrayed.
