Sony Creative Software has released the latest version of its professional video, audio, and DVD creation tool, Sony Vegas Pro 8.
As in previous versions, the Vegas Pro product is actually a suite of products: the Vegas Pro 8 editor, DVD Architect Pro 4.5, and Dolby Digital AC-3 encoding software.
Vegas is designed to provide an integrated environment for all phases of professional video, audio, DVD, and broadcast production -- to process DV, AVCHD, HDV, SD/HD-SDI, and XDCAM formats in real time, fine-tune audio with precision, and author surround sound, dual-layer DVDs.
New features include 32-bit floating point video processing, multicamera editing, and ProType titling. There's also additional HD editing support with Sony AVCHD workflow and Blu-ray Disc burning.
Sony Vegas Pro 8 is priced at $699, and available for $499
