Vegas' timeline has always been very simple—It allows for speedy editing while not detracting from functionality. Other NLEs' timelines feel clunky (I've use almost every major editor). Rather than holding to firmly to a layout which is over-inspired by outdated linear editing systems, Vegas has always (even since the Sonic Foundry years) been one of the quickest NLE's to learn.

I love the unique qualities that allow the user to be able to alter and edit video from color to manipulations. With endless ability to get added transitions, and capability to render any way you prefer I think it is a unique user experience that I can't get anywhere else. Best of all? It is easy to learn if you are willing to look up some youtube tutorials. I have used this for years. Get it.

Some advanced manipulations are difficult, and in regard to free transitions and such, options are slightly limited. I can't say much else is a dislike.

We use Vegas Pro as the official editing software for our radio. It is used 24/7 and everyone is quite happy with the overall performance of Vegas. It is pretty good to handle 7-8 hour playlists. I put together music B2B for the night and work with multitrack. Vegas Pro is the backbone of our organization and it has definitely had a positive impact on our ROI. You can do a lot of cool stuff with Vegas when it comes to audio engineering.

Vegas Pro is excellent for audio editing. A big window for multiple audio tracks makes it quite easy to work. The interface is user-friendly and the tools are awesome. The snapping tool provides great help to accurately place tracks. Likewise, the automatic crossfade gives so many different variations to combine the two audios. I particularly like the auto-ripple option that helps moving tracks and saves a lot of time. You can put markers and insert region, and then render the desired final audio. Batch-render is an excellent way to process multiple files at the same time. Vegas Pro is a must-have for a radio.

We recently upgraded from version 13 to 15 and faced trouble rendering singles files. The new version crashes frequently. Docking panels can be tricky sometimes. We had the Explorer Window undocked by mistake and spent a lot of time figuring out how to fix it.

I used it for a trial to get a sense of the software. It can be used normally by people who are not fine with other industry leading applications. But for me it was painful to use it and to look for similarities with other apps. I guess there is always two kinda of people. Ones who like the shiny interface of Vegas and are ok with the terminology and the others.

The interface is fine for a beginner oso someone who is not familiar with video editing. It can be quickly understood and used.

After using Vegas for a while and trying to get into a more serious apps you realize that the industry standard is somewhere else and the issues start to line-up since you need to look for tools in different context menus and the naming can be difficult to transpone.

Vegas Pro is comfortable and has good things to offer if you're willing to pay monthly fees which in my opinion are expensive for this video editor, a good software, but not the best.

Despite the years, Vegas Pro has remained a great option in the world of video editing, at the beginning of the last decade this software was a reference, although currently doesn't have the same popularity, vegas pro is that video editor that any user can understand perfectly. The workflow of this video editor is very comfortable, it allows us to edit effects directly in the timeline, the menu is simple and clean, Vegas Pro is a very good video editor.

In my opinion, this software is a bit expensive, I like Vegas Pro, but the monthly subscription is too abusive, personally, I am against having to rent software, but Vegas Pro has no way to justify its price, being its target audience the average user. Personally, I would check out other similarly priced video editors before purchasing Vegas Pro.

With Vegas Pro, i realize my great passion and turn it to work, art, and business. I'm a video producers, and I just thank the creators for this powerful and easy software that I use daily for my production. It's been a very satisfying experience!!!

What more impacts me, is the way they design the software, and made it so easy to understand it's interface, and so powerful do edit. My experience using this software daily, makes me more inspired to do what many producers seek in other editing softwares. With knowledge and creativity, I have a powerful tool. Vegas Pro can do uncountable things. It's native, and it's still one of the best. I just love it!!!

Some versions have some kind of Bugs. Maybe it's a question of my graphic plates, but sometimes it just crashes. Beside this, I think it's all TOP.

Use it to edit drone videos that I can share with my friends and hopefully the world which is fun. It's a great app to work with.

Feature-rich, many built in filters, transitions, asset bank, plugins, can output to many formats with many different output profiles

Requires a large screen (720p doesn't quite cut it), steep learning curve for a beginner, scrubbing o the timeline could be easier. Found it difficult to import all the videos I wanted from one directory. I also have fastcut and would have been nice to use fast cut to kick start the video and use Vegas pro to edit and tweak the final mix. A keyboard shortcut cheatsheet would help.

Vegas Pro is the best video editor program I have ever used, it’s very flexible and easy to master and use for beginners and intermediate users. I used it +3 years for most video and audio editing tasks. It has all the tools I needed to make professional videos.

It’s very flexible and easy to use. It offers a powerful audio editing function. Built-in effects are high-quality and suitable for professional use.

It’s a little bit expensive. Sometimes it crashes while working on projects without clear reasons. Adding more transitions would be great.

Overall experience with Vegas was good, I had to leave the software once I learned a lot and started doing more professional work. It's okay for beginners and budget/home projects.  Price is too high, feels clunky and outdated and that's a con. 

I use Vegas even before MAGIX bought it, the software is really great, and it helped me a lot when it was my only option a few years ago, when my computer wasn't that great. Vegas is the perfect choice for rookies on video edition, you can learn the basics on aspect ratios, cut-and-paste fragments of video, resolutions, audio parameters, etc. The tools can be pretty advanced and useful if you know how to use them, there are solutions for everything related to video edition on Vegas, you can even do some animation and automated effects. The rendering times are pretty great, even on low-end computers. 

It's not the best for professional use and commercial projects, it can be kind of clunky and the learning curve is slow and very frustrating. Templates for text and cards on video feels really outdated. Animation and automation tools are not the best, while they work, they require, in fact, a lot of hard work to function properly. The prices for it are really high.

VEGAS pro was my first video editing program and it was extremely easy to pick up and use, they have added many new features that make the workflow faster, however, it could use some stability and speed improvements.

- Easy to use - Has motion tracking - Supports the majority of pro video formats - You can edit audio

Can be slow at times, mostly when rendering.

For my usage, which was pretty simple editing of video and audio, with some effects on top, it did the job just like I wanted it, but I was well aware of its limitations.

Vegas Pro is easy to pick up and use, and it is fairly intuitive for its most basic features, and learning to use the more advanced suite of tools is not very hard, which makes this a great tool for beginners.

Other programs do a much better job at the most complicated tasks of video editing and effects. This is the place where Vegas Pro lags behind other more established alternatives.

It's a full featured and powerful video editor.

Can be laggy and has some quirks that you need to get used to.

Before Sony sold it to the new entity, it was a joy to use. Now, I am actually looking to get a different editing software the actually helps its customers.

The software was easy to use and as I mentioned the learning curve was quite easy. More complex operations required some research but usually the problem at hand was easy to solve and the results were impressive.

Before it was sold by Sony, it was easy to ask questions and get technical support. Now, it's nearly impossible to get any help or support. Their website is useless when it comes to addressing customer service.

Vegas is the crucial final stage of my workflow and has been for 8+ years. I see no reason to look elsewhere.

Have used various versions of Vegas over the years mainly for final compilation of a project. I chose Vegas due to it's reliable real-time preview, titling and surround sound capabilities.

Like all video software real time preview of complicated, multi-layer FX is a problem. I ended up using alternative software to achieve this which suffered less lag.

Very easy to useA lot of featuresMany video/audio effectsSuper easy to set upRendering is very fast

Might be a bit buggy sometimesCan sometimes crash unexpectedlySome features might not work properly

Vegas Pro is probably one of the best video editing software I use, while it seems complicated, but it doesn't take long for me to learn about the apps, it gives so many options to make videos interesting, it also supports the use of the green screen effect, whether you want to make funny game moments video, music videos, film, or just meme, guide video, and much more! This software can do all that,

Quite easy to use, great interface, lot's of effect even on stock, Capable of using green screen effect

Sometimes crash, it needs quite a lots of RAM.

I use it o make videos for Facebook and Youtube for our church. It is very easy to use. It has all the features that others have -- without being tied into a certain operating system or resource demands.

I have been using Vegas since it was Vegas 10. It has consistently gotten better with each successive generation. It converts and renders all the video that I need it to.

Importing live video is somewhat of an issue. It could integrate with daw software better as well. Magix should look at a subscription-based service instead of having to buy outright for upgrades.

I liked how there are keyboard shortcuts for tools. The interface is really clean and straight forward.

Selecting the video format to render can be difficult as some formats/options state 1080p but look really low quality. In order for videos to look higher quality certain advanced settings within specific options needed to be tweaked which was confusing for the average user. I had to follow certain YouTube tutorials in order to render my videos to achieve a level of quality that I was satisfied with.

I used it very often in the past when I started editing videos. Very simple to use, not complicated compared to the competition, and to start editing videos it is perfect. Even today I use it for editing and audio production, preferring it to other software

it is not as professional as other software, but to start with it has everything you need, in fact at the beginning it is a better software than others

I had a great time using Vegas Pro. It was easy on the RAM of my PC and fun to play around with. I like it more than Premiere Pro.

Sony Vegas Pro has an extremely large set of tools that professional editors can use for their projects. It's user friendly UI makes the workflow go smooth without any complications. It even has built-in tutorials for most tools that users can experiment and try out new features.

Extremely expensive piece of software and takes a lot of time to master. Cannot make projects with FPS lesser than 12.

this video editing software is affordable. it is easy to use because it does not require any special knowledge to use it

the software has no drawbacks in my opinion

It allows me to focus on the project and create versus trying to figure out how to do this and that. When you are trying to meet deadlines, you want a tool that is easy to use not slow down the process. Plus Vegas was doing 64bit with real time preview and effects long before the other guys. No long waits to see if things will work and stable in use. Get this and save yourself the headaches!

Works like a non-linear editor should and not like a linear tape deck thrown on a pc program.

The loyality program could be a little more cheaper for some of us using Vegas since Version 6.

I edit short films and video logs for Youtube. It is definitely one of the best and most complete video editors, lightweight, fast rendering and very intuitive in the whole process.

It's simple to use, intuitive to add effects over the timeline, full detailed audio control and plenty of plug-in options

It could presents many crashes when an effect is included, and may even close the entire program. Delimiting options for types of files to be rendered

Vegas pro has simple editing tools making the work easy and time saving.

Though the software is nice, sometimes it crushes when you try out some effects or transitions.

It was the first real video editor I started to learn in so I have personal connection to this software. It has pretty good layout and work flow. Also great shortcuts (spacebar for example).

You have modify your setup or your videos would get smudged. Also it is sometimes hard to find correct export settings.

It has the features I need in order to make the project I am making more appealing, and because I find it user friendly, I am able to finish my task with ease.

The most simplest transition and effects makes a great impact already on the video editing that I had done, it is indeed user friendly and already recommend this software to my friends, it really helps me to be able to finish the task of video editing quite fast.

The Video Event FX is useful but I always had a hard time navigating it.
