Sony Vegas Pro 9.0

The people who use Sony Vegas, will know that it is a very cool tool. You can create professional scenes in such an ease, great for us amateur film-makers. I was looking on the sonycreative website to check on any updates, since I heard there was a 9.0 version out. I wanted to see wether it was worth the upgrade. Overall, it’s not that different, however when I saw the intro photo, I immediately thought CS4, they have copied Adobe’s colour scheme.

The only things that really caught my eye were the new effects. Finally, they have defocus, which is good or us machinimators as the MM tools we use, rarely have depth of field, most of us will apply gaussian blur then fade it out to give that illusion.

Glint

Create colored highlights and adjust the number of streaks and their angles. Use the built-in masking feature to precisely limit the area of effect and create the illusion of light movement.

Rays

Simulate the effect of light streaming in from behind your source. Control the position, intensity and color, and use the moving mask feature to create special effects.

Defocus

Change the focus of your shot. Manipulate the shape and profile of the iris and adjust the size, intensity, and sensitivity of the bloom.

Starburst

Simulate the effect of a star filter on your video or stills. Modify the size and brilliance of the star effect, its orientation, and the number of streaks.

Soft Contrast

Add a little drama to your lackluster lighting by adding soft contrast. Control the precise amount of diffusion and color tinting to alter the mood of your otherwise flat shots.
