VEGAS Pro [in my opinion] has so much potential to be great. So many powerful features for audio and video editing. Unfortunately, after the sale from Sony to MAGIX [I believe] the software has become less stable even on CAD-certified workstations. [From what I've experienced] there is no customer service telephone number or support email address. All support requests must go through their website and my last requests have gone unanswered after a month. When Sony owned the software I [was] able to get on a live chat with a tech who would solve issues in minutes, not days. Not true today [per my experience]. With the decline in reliability and lack of customer support, I can no longer recommend a MAGIX product.

Many of my friends from other companies have asked me for recommendations for some video editing software, and my recommendation has always been VEGAS Pro. Currently, there are many platforms that offer video editing with basic functions but that help to have an editing a unprofessional and without complexity of use, however, VEGAS Pro despite being a difficult software to use, has much more professional functions than any other platform today, its ability to add motion trackers, make image edits, make Simultaneous audio edits is awesome. The only problem that is really noticeable to me and my colleagues who use VEGAS Pro in my work area, is the rendering issue, there are many programs with less time rendering, however, the reason why we still consider that VEGAS Pro is the best option, it is because it offers much more professional editing functions, of better quality. Rendering is an issue that can be fixed by having a computer with extremely good characteristics, so that you can render the video in less time and that it does not affect the consumption of the RAM card, but in general, rendering is a problem for a large number of users.

I recommend VEGAS Pro for those who own computers with features suitable for long-term rendering, with a good video card that supports the rendering quality.

If you need basic video editing, anyone can learn to use VEGAS Pro and get a great result. If you need to make something that has to be used in other tools like Adobe After Effects, then maybe VEGAS Pro is not the best choice. But for standalone editing, it is my choice.

VEGAS Pro is well suited for anyone trying to be creative and not waste time remembering or playing hide and seek to find or figure out simple to complex features. It is not overly complicated to use and can get the job done. I really cannot think of any situation where it is less appropriate to use it. If you what high quality videos with little thought or effort then VEGAS Pro is your tool.

I was working to reimagine a client's video done by another editor and it worked very, very welI. However, I had to reallocate my memory (16 Gigs) in order to accommodate Vegas Image and I still don't have enough to effectively use it the way I need to so I will have to work to solve this issue until I upgrade my computer.

Vegas Pro is well suited for any situation where professional-quality video and audio editing, conversion, and manipulation need to be done in an affordable, efficient manner. Vegas Pro provides a great deal of power and performance at an affordable price. It's fairly intuitive and easy to learn.

Where Vegas Pro is less appropriate is in high-end productions, where there is a very large budget for high-end, top-of-line video production systems. In high-end, Hollywood studio situations, it makes more sense to stick with the video editing systems that are more commonly used in these environments, rather than try to introduce something different into the mix.

Vegas Pro is easy to use software for both individuals and companies. I liked especially the shortness of the learning curve. You can easily start editing by watching some YouTube videos. There are plenty of YouTube videos about effects and transitions.

There is not any situation I can think of where you can't use VEGAS Pro to solve a problem which calls for video. Many times I use VEGAS Pro to improve and master audio files for output or use it only for converting one type of audio or video to another. Where it may not really be appropriate is for 8K video editing since it does not handle that specification.

Very well suited for single and multitrack audio and video projects. Unlimited audio and video tracks. A standalone audio recording program seems to be more useful for recording and mastering audio, but the mixdown always happens in Vegas Pro.

VEGAS Pro is excellent for beginning video editors who do not have experience with Avid or Premiere, both of which are far more complex. VEGAS Pro is also good for more experienced video editors who want to do simpler tasks. I would be less likely to use VEGAS Pro for a huge project or one which results in hours of video (like a feature film). However, for easy editing video ads, YouTube videos, tutorials, product demos, and the like, VEGAS Pro is my go-to video editor of choice simply because everything I do is so much faster in it. Say I want to pan and zoom—I can do this incredibly easily in VEGAS Pro, while it would take me far longer in Premiere. The learning curve for VEGAS Pro is just so much less steep than other more robust video editing apps and suites, while still offering more features and a professional level of quality not found in consumer-grade video editing apps like iMovie.

VEGAS Pro makes it VERY easy to make simple edits to a video - trimming, blending elements of different video and audio clips, layering text on screen. Although I wish it had a captioning feature and a few other elements that products like Camtasia have, ultimately I am a big fan of how easy it is to use VEGAS Pro. It does more than YouTube's video editor, but is easier to use.

Vegas Pro is a great option for video/audio editors, videographers, and filmmakers. If you're only doing audio production, it's a bit of overkill. It has a host of features you won't end up using...and potentially add to the visual clutter in the interface.
