Is this still Vegas as in Sony, not MAGIX?

[Sistermatic™]

Many years I produced several commercial lifestyle DVD's using Vegas Pro 7. (Made a squillion thanks Sony).

Previously I had been using a MAGIX NLE (can't remember it's name) that, to be brutally honest, crashed and burned too many times to be taken seriously - which is why I went to Vegas. Did MAGIX alter/modify the Sony NLE or just acquire and rebadge?

This is by no means meant to be disrespectful to MAGIX but whilst they weren't fledgling back then they weren't exactly mainstream either. In fact the Vegas acquisition came as a bit of a surprise - they obviously came good - I would have expected it to be the other way. :)

I'm looking again at Vegas mostly because my current stopgap (Movie Studio Pro) isn't doing the job as streamlined as I hoped.
