And there is more that Sony doesn't even list, such as new built in exporter of image sequences in several formats popular with filmout facilities and new one click adjustment of 4 point sound envelope entries, which means that you no longer have to enter individually two points at the beginning of a sound envelope adjustment and two at the tail end... there are more "little" goodies such as this one which can simplify life of editors.

Wow, I really need to upgrade to Vegas Pro, just for the 64-bit support (which Vegas Studio Platinum doesn't do, I believe).

Would also be ultra happy if TVP supported 64-bit....
