Sony releases Vegas v7.0b

Sony Media Software has released version 7.0b of Vegas.

Notable Fixes/Changes in Version 7.0b

• The Insert Generated Music command now ignores the Import Audio at Project Tempo setting so Cinescore compositions are imported at actual length.
• The Lock Envelopes to Events feature no longer includes envelope points after the last event. Previously, moving an event to another track could cause other envelope points to be removed.
• For the Sony MXF format, a Progressive field order setting has been added for DVCAM and IMX rendering (via the Custom Template dialog for the MXF format). Also added 25p/30p detection when reading these files.
• The MXF reader now supports source files larger than 4 GB.
• Two-channel Broadcast Wave Format files are now imported to a single stereo track. In Vegas 7.0 and 7.0a, these files were imported to two tracks.
• Added support for the Zoom slider on some Microsoft keyboards.
• Event start times are now properly quantized if you drag media to the timeline when Options > Quantize to Frames is selected.
• Fixed a problem that could cause gapping when adding certain audio plug-ins to a plug-in chain.
• Fixed a problem that could occur when using the numeric keypad to move events across tracks.
• Fixed a problem generating audio peaks for some HDV source files.
• Implemented various HDV improvements, including stream-length matching, improved speed on non-SSE2 computers, and better handling of some HDV variants.
