For those not familiar with Sony Vegas, it's thought to be the geek choice for video editing on Windows. It's much cheaper than the heavyweight solutions in the industry, but at the same time very powerful and robust. Let's have a look as to what's new in its 9th version.

You are thinking in terms of a single frame and all the processing that has been gone into it. What I am telling you here is that video is not as real time as a still image, and so when you export, you can tell the editor to re-do the processing from the very beginning. So it will treat it as 32bit from the get go, without upsampling (provided your source footage is 10bit, of course). Vegas re-processes each frame when you export, so there's no reason why not treat it as 32bit and redo all the plugins processing at that very moment. Although I could be wrong, this is what I get from it.

Here's the part that's confusing me. If you're editing in 8 bit, having you already lost 24 bits of data? Then if you export your 8 bit project as 32 bit, aren't you just upsampling 8 bit data into 32 bits? In this case you won't be gaining any advantage at all since the end result is effectively an 8 bit movie pretending to be 32 bit?
