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.
- Edits and transitions are simple and effective
- Powerful audio editing function beyond what you find in comparable software
- [In my experience] there is no customer support after purchase
- [Again from my experience] auto save [is] not intuitive enough to recover all edits after a crash
- Crashes on simple projects and gets worse with complexity

VEGAS Pro Review
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.
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.
- One of the things that I love about VEGAS Pro is that I can do automatic tracking control to an object or image, this is a very remarkable function in VEGAS Pro, because this way you can add better mobility to the video in general, in addition , you can focus the video view to a specific object.
- The image edits with the VEGAS Pro filters are really fantastic. For us, having a good visualization and definition of our images is very important, which is why this function has provided really remarkable results. We have been able to modify the tonality of the images that we add to the video and we have also managed to change the colors thanks to the filters available for video in general. These filters are very varied, I can add a filter to give my image a warm touch, a touch of cold or sunset.
- At the bottom of the platform, the audio barrier is shown, where you can add several audio tracks and thus be able to modify the audio of the entire video for every second that passes, however, this function is much more impressive as it also allows you to add another audio barrier to play two audio tracks at the same time.
- The autosave is fantastic, VEGAS Pro has an excellent autosave system capable of saving all the progress that has been made in the video that is being edited, the autosave does not consume additional capacity to the computer, so it is very easy to have it activated and not worry about computer performance.
- VEGAS Pro does not consume many computer resources when the person is editing the video and making audio edits, the amount of RAM it consumes is very minimal, however, one of the main problems that occur in VEGAS Pro is that it has a high consumption when rendering the video. The rendering of the video is basically applying all the modifications to the video and converting it to a stable quality, however, this process takes approximately 2 hours or max, it all depends on how long the video is, and the computer cannot be used since it may be slow in operation, due to the high consumption of rendering.
- VEGAS Pro offers translations of the video's audio automatically, it transforms the audio into subtitles, however, these subtitles are not as accurate. Being an automated function, it is not as precise and this causes the subtitles to not have a good translation then when the process is done manually.

The best nonlinear editor you may never have heard of
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.
- It does what it says as a non-linear editor. It works that way and not as "tape-deck" in a computer program motiff like Premier and Final Cut do. Nonlinear video editing is not complicated and VEGAS Pro allows for you to do that.
- It allows for you not to rely super heavily on graphic card performance and combines with your memory in a quick an efficient way. Render times are amazing and real-time playback has always been ahead of its competitors.
- The interface and setup are easy to understand, which makes editing and getting started on any project quick and easy. If you have to end up pulling out the manual for help constantly to find out what to do and how to do it then the creative process is lost. VEGAS Pro allows for you to get to it and not waste a day on it.
- It is a name in the industry you can trust to do the right thing and also the forums and the people that frequent them make the experience more enjoyable.
- I would say outside of the software itself, better press on what they do or who uses it.
- A lifetime pass to longtime users of 10-20 years.
- More invites to be beta testers or advisors on the next product line.

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.
- It is easy to learn with patience.
- They are constantly upgrading the platform to keep up with higher end NLE systems.
- It functions (to me) better when dual monitors are used, but a single screen is good if you don't mind moving the timeline functionality around.
- It would be good if it was available in the Apple format.
- It is advisable to download multiple codecs that would allow one to open different video formats.
- Make sure that your computer has enough memory to handle the demands you put on your computer.
- I use a Macbook Pro with Bootcamp on Windows 10.

Smart video editing tool with rich features
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.
- Easy user interface.
- Rendering speed.
- Large variety of FX tools.
- Price could be more affordable for individuals.
- Sometimes while rendering it crashes.
- More transitions would be great.
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.
- Very stable, less crashes than the competition.
- Intuitive interface, easier to learn.
- Priced fairly for a buyout. I hate subscriptions.
- Once in a rare while, the program will crash. Hoping an update will resolve this.
- I'd love to see more professional titling built into the next version.
- Also would like to see more modern transitions.
- Would love to see an integration of an option to render video to YouTube's current video codec.

Quick, Easy To Use For Basic Video Editing
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.
- Video Editing - This is where VEGAS Pro shines. I love the user interface and hotkeys. I find it much more intuitive and easy to use than perhaps its main competitor, Adobe Premiere. Many of the user interface design choices will ultimately be up to user preference, but in my case, I find VEGAS Pro intuitive and easy to use.
- Suite Integration - I went to school for audio engineering and had a lot of experience using Sound Forge, which is part of the same suite of software and has a lot of the same user interface design.
- Additional video transitions would be a nice improvement.
- Mac support would be great. I do my video editing on a Windows PC, so it's not a big deal for me, but it would be nice to have Vegas installed on my MacBook Pro so I could edit on the fly when traveling.
We utilize Vegas Pro exclusively in our production department. Vegas allows us to maintain consistent quality of the audio productions we deliver to clients. Templates, presets, and ease of use make our team more efficient.
- We use Vegas nearly exclusively for audio production. The editing tools are easy to use. The interface is laid out well, so it's intuitive.
- Plugins are readily available and easy to use when needed.
- Since Sony sold Vegas, the customer service has taken a decline...at least in my experience. I've had almost no success in reaching anyone by phone and the email support is not very quick.
- It also seems that I experience more instances of Vegas closing without notice.
- It would be nice to have the option to save project files in formats that can be opened by other editing suites.
