X3b still can't import normal .mp4 I get from clients. I have to rely on sony vegas to render them to .AVIs and then import in Sonar.
There MP4's open everywhere but Sonar: Windows Media Player, Quicktime, VLC etc.

Video Improvements were slated for X3c, but have been pushed back to X3d....

It's been reported on this forum that any video improvements have been moved to X3d. I sincerely hope Cakewalk is consulting with users who create/edit audio for film.

That is a fact. Video improvements are still in X3's future, they did not make X3c according to Noel's most recent post on the subject.

Has anyone seen anything regarding what video improvements Cakewalk plans to implement?

I have not!
Will install X3c now and see what was fixed/improved...
 
But I have read somewhere that X3 would come with video improvements...more video formats etc...or I have dreamed? 
 
cheers

That is indeed true and we are in contact with a few big film/video game composers.

I do not recall any more details than what is included in this thread http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/2896088

That's outstanding news, thanks for the reply, Andrew! I'd like to add that while music composing is the obvious use for Sonar, I see more examples these days in no/low-budget films where a single individual is responsible for all aspects of film audio including dialog editing, Foley, ADR, sound effects, etc. For example, with a few feature enhancements, Sonar's excellent new Takes/Comping abilities could become a viable alternative to otherwise quite expensive ADR software (e.g. Nuendo, VoiceQ).

Welcome to the club....Cakewalk never really cared about film composers for some reason (even though I still love Sonar!). I got fed up with the videos issue, so I have been using Cubase 7 and I can attest it is fantastic if you score to picture. If they pull through with stellar improvements in X3d, I'm in, but until then it's C7.
 
PS- you don't need Vegas, you can use a free converter like Wondershare.
