Sony Vegas Pro 13 ESD Suite Software, Electronic Download

The Sony Vegas Pro 13 ESD Suite Electronic Download Software is a collection on non-linear editing, effects, audio editing and DVD authoring tools. In addition to Sony Vegas Pro 13, the suite features DVD Architect Pro 6, Sound Forge Pro 11, Vegas Pro Production Assistant 2, iZotope Nectar Elements, HitFilm 2 Ultimate, 25 Production Music Tracks and NewBlue Video Essentials VI. Sony Vegas Pro 13 professional video editing software supports nearly any video resolution up to 4096 x 4096 and features native timeline support for a wide range of popular SD, HD, 60p and even several 4K codecs. Vegas runs exclusively on 64-bit versions of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 and can take advantage of OpenCL-enabled graphics cards (GPUs) for accelerated workflow, reduced render times and the ability to playback high-resolution formats at full quality, in real-time. To meet the collaboration challenge on video productions, Vegas Pro Connect provides an alternative to written spreadsheets and notes, offering online and offline review workflows. The app features a comprehensive review system within a gesture-driven control surface.

XAVC Intra MXF Smart Render
Helps dramatically reduce render times by providing XAVC Intra MXF render templates

Loudness Meters
Open the new Loudness Meters and tweak your mixes to maximize audio dynamic range while you maintain consistent -23 LUFS Integrated levels and create EBU R-128/CALM Act compliant renders that will pass unattenuated through every stage of the signal path.

Multi-Tool Paradigm
Frequently used tools are organized in a convenient pop-up menu located directly below the timeline to provide fast access for a more efficient editing workflow.

4K Support
Vegas Pro natively supports frame sizes up to 4096 x 4096; the 4K image standard for digital cinema projection (DCI) is 4096 x 2160 pixels. This level of resolution provides more detail and flexibility to pan and crop when delivering in HD. Plus it's ideal for compositing and video effects work as it provides a high-quality final output. Vegas Pro natively supports Sony XAVC and XAVC S files as well as RED ONE and RED EPIC files.

GPU Acceleration
Better playback and faster renders are possible by taking advantage of the processing power locked up in the GPU. Vegas Pro 13 leverages the GPU for video effects, transitions, compositing, pan/crop, track motion and encoding. An optimized hardware configuration that uses a compatible GPU device dramatically improves timeline performance. Smart Proxy Workflow
Create high-performance, edit-friendly Smart Proxy clips in the Project Media window and enjoy faster playback on a wider variety of hardware. Media automatically and dynamically switches from the original to the proxy based on the Preview playback settings. Original media files are always available for the final render. You can also set a preference to automatically create proxy files when you add Ultra HD 4K media to your project.

Multicamera Editing
Specify shots as you play back your project and switch between as many as 32 video sources with a keyboard command or a click of your mouse. Vegas Pro keeps all unused shots. Easily expand a multicamera track into component events to get a complete picture of your project so you can refine the edits.

Auto Correct Footage
Automatically correct 3D video to ensure proper alignment of footage that would otherwise be ruined by minor camera setup discrepancies.

True Stereoscopic 3D Camera for 3D Track Motion Compositing
Create 3D motion effects with precise control over Z depth, plane intersection, compositing and more. The Parent Motion feature allows you to move and rotate multiple tracks in 3D space as a unit. Create 3D motion changes in real time and preview them instantly.

Add Depth to 2D Elements
Use the traditional Vegas Pro track compositing methods to intermix 2D elements, such as backgrounds, titles, graphical elements or keyed video, with 3D content using the traditional Vegas Pro track compositing methods. Give these elements depth in the 3D output using the same horizontal offset adjustment tools used for 3D media.

Extensive Multitrack Audio Editing Tools

Surround Sound Mixing and Encoding
Vegas Pro 13 features a suite of 5.1 surround sound mixing tools. Automate the surround panning on tracks and buses to mix DVD and Blu-ray Disc soundtracks, directly within the Vegas Pro environment. Apply 5.1-channel audio effects to the master bus for enhanced control over surround mixes. Export projects as discrete tracks for post-encoding or encode directly to Dolby Digital surround with the Sony Creative Software Dolby Digital-certified AC-3 Pro encoder. In addition, the DVD Architect Pro software imports AC-3 files for multichannel 5.1 DVD and Blu-ray Disc creation.

Envelope Automation Recording
Record track envelope and keyframe parameters in real time with a mouse or external control surface hardware. Choose between touch and latch record modes and utilize automatic post-record keyframe thinning. Automation parameter control is available for both stereo and 5.1 tracks and buses, as well as for video track envelopes.

Software Bundled with the Suite:

DVD and Blu-ray Disc Authoring with DVD Architect Pro 6

Professional DVD Layout and Design
Author menu-based and single-title DVD and Blu-ray Disc projects with preset backgrounds, motion menus, buttons and effects. In addition to these presets, you can import your own layered Photoshop (PSD) files for use as backgrounds, buttons and graphics. Enable your DVD content to play back in a loop, hold or time out at the end of a scene.

Buttons on Video
Add a button hotspot over video and control its placement, duration and link. This creates an interactive experience for end users so they can navigate to alternate media related to a specific scene on your disc.

Exports Chapter Markers and Subtitles to DVD Architect Pro
Import Vegas Pro markers into DVD Architect Pro as chapter points for quick scene creation. Apply a name to each region in your Vegas Pro project, export the names as a text file and import it into DVD Architect Pro as frame-accurate subtitles.

3D Model Support
Work with complex 3D models including ordinary .obj, Cinema4D and 3ds Max files. Individual parts of a model can be animated independently and 3D models interact with all of HitFilm's core systems - lights, shadows, cameras, motion blur and depth of field - for highly realistic rendering results.

Professional Chroma Key
HitFilm 2 Ultimate offers high-detail control over green screen extraction and matte work for critical keying.

Invisibility and Cloning
Create futuristic camouflage and wizard invisibility cloaks with the versatile displacement effect or use split screen and masking to clone your actors.

Phase Scope and Mono-Compatibility Metering
Use the Phase Scope in Sound Forge Pro 11 to find phase cancellation among the channels in an audio file. Meter types include Lissajous - XY Plot, Lissajous - Rotated, Polar - Linear Plot and Polar - Circular Plot. The mono compatibility meter helps detect correlations or differences between the channels of a file that can cause phase cancellation when down mixing to mono.
