Re: Vegas review in DV mag

There are a lot of users who have posted regarding their dislike of theVegas titler, if the author had made it an issue in his review, that might have helped persuade the Vegas design team to provide a titler with more of the features that professionals prefer. The author did harp on not being able to view more than 1 edited sequence at a time, it didn't appear that he was aware that he could use alternate takes on the timeline, or that he could simultaneously have multiple copies of Vegas open with different edits and toggle between them to compare versions of the show.
Other Vegas issues I would like to see mentioned in reviews:
weak support for exporting frame sequences- it would be helpful to export in the leading image formats, with a true alpha channel in formats that support it, with the ability to choose custom frame size and pixel aspect ratio.
If Vegas had true support for Quicktime Pro, it could export suctom frame sequences through QT. Another problem with the integrated Quicktime export that Vegas provides is that isn't able to utilize advances in the Quicktime Pro package. Yet another problem is that the Quicktime intergrated with Vegas can cause conflicts with Microsoft Office, which results in Powerpoint losing the ability to play embedded MPEG movies, even though they play just fine when the standlone version of Quicktime Pro is installed on the system. It would be more helpful to have Vegas provide a "Yes/No" for installing the integrated Quicktime option, and to be able to use the full Quicktime Pro if the user had it installed on his system.
