VEGAS Pro is currently the primary video editing software for my company. However, after this latest upgrade (to VEGAS Pro 18 Suite) [we hoped] that this new version would fix some of the stability issues of the previous version. [In my experience] the upgrade did not solve these issues. The great power of VEGAS Pro [in my opinion] is overshadowed by a lack of stability and a lack of an ability to complete a project without multiple freezes and shutdowns oftentimes losing dozens of edits due to a less than intuitive auto-save function.

Our company is located in the real estate sector, therefore, having the facility to design videos for advertising or for our publications to be more attractive and attract more public, has become a really easy task thanks to VEGAS Pro. In our Marketing sector is where VEGAS Pro is being used, because this platform allows us to edit our advertising videos, it allows our videos to have a much higher quality and that we can transmit the information in a better way to all our public. The advertising videos that we make in VEGAS Pro are much more professional, we can make excellent transitions and we can also add filters to the video. We are very grateful for the effectiveness that VEGAS Pro has shown since it came to our company, because previously our videos were not as high quality as they are now, before we made much simpler videos and this meant that we could not attract as many clients as now.

Vegas Pro is a program a bit complicated to use, although its interface is quite complete, I think it is a bit difficult to adapt to it, it is also important to note that although it has very striking functions such as object tracking, high quality rendering , all those functions are complicated to use.

Our editing department uses it for most video and audio editing tasks, including marketing videos and podcast audio. We use it because it is simple to use yet powerful enough for most video projects. Why take the time to teach someone to use Premiere Pro or Final Cut when VEGAS Pro can get the job done and someone with little training can be effective using it?

I use VEGAS Pro for all my edits and any presentations I put together for me and other company entities. It is easier to use for editing, prsentations, and getting the message I want out conveyed. It allows for easy professional edits while having time to be creative in a true non-linear manner--no old man linear editing, but true nonlinear editing. I also do not have to search for days for tools when they are right there ready to use.

I began using Sony VEGAS 6 in 2006 as an introduction to an affordable way to learn video for music production. I am primarily self taught and when I started using it there was for me a very slight learning curve since I had been using Sony Acid Music software. I found it to be very easy to use after a lot of trial and error. I have produced a lot of very good projects. And I found that since it was purchased by Magix they have added quite a bit of very useful capabilities that have elevated it (in my opinion) to be very reliable. I have consistently updated it and I am at version Magix VEGAS 17 Post and they have just released 18 with even better functionality than the previous version. It has the capability to open the project from multiple video editing platforms (Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, etc) which allows the ability to work on different projects. And depending on how creative the user is it is undistinguishable from the aforementioned editing platforms.

We use Vegas Pro for creating, editing and converting a variety of video and audio projects. We use it for both internal projects and projects for clients. We make our own videos for internal use, videos for marketing and videos for educational purposes. We also do video work for clients. This ranges from creating new videos from scratch to editing, converting formats, and otherwise manipulating existing videos.

We've been using Vegas Pro for many years. It has consistently proven to be reliable, efficient and economical. It works with a very wide range of source materials in various formats. We can mix and match many different sources together on the same timeline and then output the final product in a variety of formats for different purposes, such as Internet videos, Blu-ray and DVD discs, etc.

The tools that come with Vegas are all quite good and offer many advanced capabilities. We also use some 3rd party add-ons, including NewBlue FX, Vegasaur and Excalibur. Vegas does nearly everything we've ever had a need to do. The few times we've come across something unusual that Vegas couldn't do, it was easy enough to find a 3rd party application that added the functionality that was needed.

It is mostly used for advertising purposes in order to create promo videos. Mostly our marketing and public relations departments are using Vegas Pro. Besides creating promo videos, we also use Vegas Pro for colour correction and audio mixing purposes too.

This is a "Swiss Army Knife" of video editing programs with the capability to inexpensively add in Blu-Ray mastering as well as mix a live audio and video mix of media. Typically, we use it for producing web media for YouTube, Facebook and our websites for ourselves and customers as well as for educational purposes. We need something that will accept any format of media and turn it into something that can be published anywhere.

We use Vegas Pro exclusively for all of our audio and video editing, production, and mastering. It's really the perfect solution for everything we need to do in this multimedia world. We produce several advertisements for our social media accounts, we've edited thousands of professional voiceovers for a national announcer, assembled and edited three films, and are now in the process of editing the second season of our paranormal investigative television show called The Underpresence. With the exception of very few hiccups, which may be my underpowered PC, it's been incredibly stable. We switched from Premiere Pro due to its frequent crashes. We feel Vegas Pro has the most intuitive interface and is compatible with filters and effects used industry-wide.

VEGAS Pro is used by myself and by our user experience designer for video editing. I most recently used VEGAS Pro for a short advertisement video for Instagram. I also use VEGAS Pro for editing YouTube video presentations and splicing together screencasts to demonstrate bugs and UX functionality. I find VEGAS Pro to be invaluable when I need to quickly edit video for any number of use cases, ranging from production-level advertising and educational videos to product demos and bug fixes.

I had bought a license for VEGAS Pro in grad school and I have since kept it up on my computer. Since we do not have an institutional license for a specific video editing software, VEGAS Pro has come in handy for many projects where I need to trim or edit a video, add a text overlay, or splice audio.
