9.0 Stability (build 563)

[Roberto Lequeux]

I thought we could share specific issues and work-arounds for the original release of V9 till the first patch comes out.
And I'd say we should all share a link to this thread with Sony's support team! Maybe they will listen to us!

So far everything including renders work even better for me than 8.1 or 8.0c did before. They definitely fixed some issues I had in 8.1 for example with rendering in MP4s for example. Couldn't even get the Sony AVC codec to work at all now its fine so I have a choice between Sony and Mainconcept codecs finally. Rendering is not as fast on my machine as I could wish but there may be some other tuneup things I need to do. We'll have to look into that a bit more. The only thing I've seen which may be a bug is the misreporting of R3D resolution when you look at the properties for an R3D in the project media window. Reports 4K as a 2048 x 1024.

I am having some issues but I think they are the same issues I had with RedCine, which I think stem from using an older and complicated GeForce 7950 GX2 video card, which has given me a few issues with other programs.

Te reason I think is the video cars is that I lose the image first, then it crashes. The good thing is that Vegas 9 is a million times more stable than RedCine was on this workstation! RedCine would die every time, and with V9 I have gotten a lot of little things done as I test and poke around.

Aside from that it is an incredible pleasure so far, identical to my P2 workflow, only RAW!
