Vegas Pro 9 giveaway

[DSE 5]

With Vegas Pro 10 just being announced, I realized I have one copy of Vegas Pro 9 that I have not installed. I'd like to give it away. Because of it's value, I'm not gonna limit it to just skydivers.
A lot of you are friends on Facebook; on my FB page there is a giveaway, no strings attached. Just tell me in video, audio, or graphic form why you think you should win.
Be creative.
Lisa Briggs/Skybytch won a copy of Sound Forge Production Suite earlier this week with a very clever video.
I'll also be giving away a couple of ACID Pro suites.
Hate to see em' sit there on the shelf and go to waste when someone could be using them.
I'm not sure if this version will be upgradeable to 10 for free or not.

So what additional features are on Vegas 10 vs 9?

Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro10 is the Sony site where the public info about the new features can be found.

There are quite a few new features, some relevant to what we do in skydiving, some not so relevant.
Significantly faster handling of AVC/AVCHD, MPEG formats is a huge upgrade for me, same with audio FX per event. The image stabilizer is the best I've seen in its class, but you don't get good for cheap. It's very slow when set to its best setting, but its best setting is very, very good.
Track management for me, is quite important. If you're doing only tandem vids...you probably won't care.
But...the GPU-assisted AVC/AVCHD reader/writer is incredible for non-hardware based systems/software. This alone makes it worth it, especially for tandem vids. Massive timesaver.

So if someone has Vegas Pro 9 what do they have to do to upgrade?

Is it a completely seperate purchase? Or upgrade?

How much?

Sony has an upgrade path; I just don't know the cost. But it *is* significantly less costly to upgrade from Pro9 to Pro10.
Available in about 15 more days.

if you're on FB, I'm giving away a copy of Vegas this week. The entries this week have been...weak.
