Compare your affected and unaffected video, or compare the timeline with a clipboard image - all viewable in real-time on an external monitor via 1394 enabled hardware.
System-Wide Media Management
You can use the Media Manager window to search and manage your collection of media assets so you can easily find the right file for your Vegas projects. The Media Manager maintains a database of your files, including the attributes, ACID metadata, and tags that you can assign to classify your audio and video clips.
AAF Import and Export
You can use AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) files to exchange projects between applications.
A/V Synchronization Detect and Repair
When audio and video events are not aligned, Vegas software will highlight the events in the timeline so you can see synchronization problems at a glance. The software determines whether source events are synchronized by comparing grouped and overlapping media.
Envelope Automation Recording
Record track envelope and keyframe parameters in real-time using a mouse or external control surface hardware with touch and latch record modes and 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.
High definition editing and output
Vegas 6 software supports HD editing and rendering, including output to 1080/60i, 1080/30p, 1080/24p, 720/60p, 720/30p, and 720/24p. Output high definition video to .AVI, .MOV, MPEG-2, Windows Media 9 Series, RealVideo 9, .PNG and .JPEG sequences. Work with project sizes up to 2048x2048.
Project references in rendered files
When your Vegas project uses media that was rendered with an embedded project path reference, you can easily open the source project in the associated application if you need to edit the media later. For example, imagine that you have an audio file on the Vegas timeline that was rendered from an ACID project. In previewing your Vegas project, you discover that you accidentally rendered your ACID project with a critical track muted. You can simply right-click the event on the Vegas timeline and choose Edit Source Project from the shortcut menu to reopen your ACID project, unmute the track, and then re-render it.
Trimmer Window
Use the Trimmer window to select portions of a piece of media that can be placed into events on tracks, and easily create media subclips that reference portions of a media file.
JKL Scrub; Timeline and Keyboard Trimming
Scan your project to quickly find edit points using new tape-style scrubbing. Control playback of your project at varying speeds. Scrub using JKL/shuttle, keyboard commands, or external devices such as the Contour A/V Solutions ShuttlePro (www.contourdesign.com).
Customizable User Interface
Vegas 6 software has a clean and intuitive interface and uses familiar Windows keyboard commands. Windows XP theme support and interface color adjustments allow for a wide variety of customization that best suits your working style.
User Definable Multiple Docking Window Layouts
Design the Vegas editing environment to maximize productivity. Dock multiple windows and save up to ten layout configurations for single and dual monitor systems. Easily recall a customized window layout for a specific editing task, and instantly switch to new layouts during playback.
Customizable Keyboard Mapping
Customize Vegas keyboard commands to fit your editing process. Create and edit new keyboard shortcuts, import a keyboard mapping scheme or save your current layout for use as a backup - even share keyboard layouts with other Vegas users.
Media Subclips
Use the Trimmer window to create subclips that reference portions of a media file. Subclips can also be created directly within the Vegas timeline. All subclips are added to the media pool and can be used like any other event in your Vegas project.
Real-Time A/V Event Reverse
Instantly reverse audio and video events on the timeline either as a locked A/V event group or as independent elements.
Effects Package Folders
Quickly recall frequently used chains of effects in your Vegas project. Effects packages in Vegas 6 software retain their chain order and individual plug-in settings so you can quickly apply desired effects to media.
Additional Marker Support
Vegas 6 software provides support for up to 99 numbered markers. The marker tool allows easy navigation between adjacent markers and editing of multiple selected markers.
Network Rendering
Speed up production time by rendering complex multimedia projects over networked computers. Divide Vegas projects into smaller sections that are distributed across multiple machines, and let Vegas software reassemble the pieces into a single rendered file. Each copy of Vegas software comes with two additional render-only installations.
Keyboard Trimming and Event Shuffling
Expertly edit complex long-form projects using mouse or keyboard trimming, event shuffling, as well as advanced ripple editing modes.
Unlimited Undo/Redo
Vegas software allows an unlimited number of edits to be undone or restored. Quickly and easily restore previous edits without needing to rework an entire Vegas project.
Extensive hardware and monitoring support
Vegas 6 software natively supports DSR-DU1 and DSR DR-1000 recorders, J-H3 HDCAM player over i.LINK and many other i.LINK connector/IEEE-1394 hardware devices. Next-generation monitoring tools allow full screen timeline playback to LCD and CRT secondary displays via component or DVI connections, with support for scaling, deinterlacing, and color pro.

The FlipBook application provides a convenient way of viewing publications. Select FlipBooks "View 3D" option and you can literally flip through the publication. The publication can then be exported as PDF or QuickTime movie. The SoftProof application has a virtual loupe which displays the job at 100% wherever it is positioned. Use the MonitorCalibrator and any supported spectrophotometer to calibrate your monitor and create monitor ICC profiles which can be used in blackmagic for dramatically improved colour accuracy.
Use any double-sided Postscript[tm] or PCL5 compatible printer to create full-colour or black-and-white "dummies" of your books. An intuitive user interface lets you select the jobs you wish to deimpose, assign a deimpostion signature to each and then let Serendipity blackmagic do the rest for you. No folding and no cutting required.
Especially useful for high-volume production and quick turn-around sites, the new clustering feature will let you use more than one computer to process jobs. A master machine will determine how jobs are distributed across a cluster of networked Serendipity blackmagic slaves so you never miss your deadlines again.
Real life inks often have characteristics which are difficult to simulate digitally. The new Plate Paint Modes are a step towards more realistic simulation. A plate can be assigned any one of these paint modes:
Overprint, traditional mixing of channels
Knockout, all channels of the top plate dominate those of the plates bellow it
Primer, white ink simulation
Opaque, variable opacity to simulate metallic or other special inks
Families can have lots of fun with blackmagic Home Edition, creating exceptional pieces of art through colorizing old black & white photos from the family album, or of their favourite stars from yester-years. This is nothing short of reviving invaluable family heirlooms to a new glory, that will be admired by generations to come.
BlackMagic incorporates the "TimeBrush RLC [Real-Life-Colour]" standard. The TimeBrush RLC technology was specifically created for colourizing black & white motion pictures of the Hollywood fame. blackmagic does not require selection of specific color parameters such as hue, opacity, saturation, etc. - the operator simply identifies the type of object to be colorized. blackmagic then automatically performs the needed calculations to dynamically vary all required color parameters based on the content of the photograph and Neural Net based algorithms.
BlackMagic Home Edition allows for processing of images upto MegaPixel sizes. For More demanding requirements, blackmagic Business & Professional Editions are also available.
