The share button is undoubtedly one of the PlayStation 4’s most important features. Sony’s taken to advertising the social addition heavily on television in recent months, and it’s also committed to a complete overhaul of the functionality as part of the next-gen console’s upcoming v1.70 firmware update. And on that note, speculation suggests that it may have brought its Sony Vegas Pro team on board to provide support.
Last month, the firm said that the latest version of the device’s system software would incorporate a brand new video editor tool, allowing you to personalise your clips before uploading them. While it didn’t provide any additional information, we hypothesised that titles, filters, and potentially transitions were likely. And according to one trusted forum poster, the platform holder has turned to the folks behind the company’s signature video editing suite to help it to develop the feature.
The source is, admittedly, a little shaky, but it makes sense. Sony Vegas Pro is widely regarded as one of the better movie making packages available, so putting some of that functionality in the PS4 could really expand the creative possibilities of the platform. The big question is: do you even use the share button, and would you be willing to mess around with transitions and more to produce the perfect clip?

Id probably use it if there was some kind of editing software to use. At the moment I tend to only share the odd screenshot as the video aspects is a little too basic for my tastes
To date I've shared one video of Infamous: 2nd son gameplay....at the moment it's too basic for me to really put time into, if it was less clunky and a little more refined I'd use it more.
I'm sure that Sony will put more editing tools in the video share feature, but they will still keep it simple. They want even the most casual of users to be able to use it without any hassle, which I agree with.
yeah I use the share function, mainly to show my friends games they might be interested in
but with a video editor I might be able finally restart my youtube videos on my new page (I lost access to my old one, it's still there but for some reason I can't log in to youtube on that account)
From the videos and pics I've seen, UI on the share screen looks really easy to use and doesn't need anything that will complicate the process. Not that Sony Vegas would complicate it, I'm just saying that small additions are best for it.
All my recordings are of glitches/bugs/dumb stuff. I'm sure xboners would love to see them but I won't post fixed errors. Seems like better auto-advertising would be a given, tho.
Now, sharing on PS4 is painful, annoying and confusing.
