# VEGAS Pro User Reviews

## Reviews summary

- Overall rating: 4.6/5
- Total reviews: 156

### Secondary ratings

- Ease of use: 4.3/5
- Customer support: 4.1/5
- Value for money: 4.2/5
- Functionality: 4.5/5

### Rating distribution

- 4 stars: 34 reviews (22%)
- 3 stars: 8 reviews (5%)
- 2 stars: 4 reviews (3%)
- 1 star: 1 reviews (1%)

### Most mentioned pros

- My most favorite features are ease of importing media files, cutting and joining video clips which is a straight forward process and the many short-cuts which made everything simpler once I mastered them.
- Today you can edit a flashy video with an app with a few templates of effects and you can do it in 10 minutes and it would take you a few hours with Vegas to get a similar result.
- I’ve used VEGAS Pro for well over a decade and have always appreciated its intuitive timeline workflow, strong audio tools, and overall editing flexibility.

### Most mentioned cons

- What I dislike most about Vegas pro is the complexity of key framing whereby animating x,y and rotations motions simultaneously will took time grasping.
- On the other hand, you would actually numb your fingers trying to edit a longer video on your cellphone, at the level you can do it in Vegas.
- However, Version 23 has shaken my confidence due to reliability concerns.

### VEGAS Pro your ultimate software for creating stunning videos!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5

#### Pros

The multicamera mode is really great! If you have a video taken from many point of view, you can synch them easly and then you can move from a camera to another really easly as Vegas can merge them into a unique timeline and you can switch from a view to another with just one click.

#### Cons

This software is really stunning, but if I have to talk about a least then it could be that there are not so many rendering filters and maybe the text effects could be uograded to a more easy way to use them. Also it could be useful a inline help that suggests and remember you which are the shortcuts to use the variuos features.

#### Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro

I was seraching for a more professional software.

### Vegas Pro Is The Underrated NLE King

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Marcos C.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Entertainment
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years

I've been using Vegas Pro for about 10 years. I've been tempted by the competition, and indeed have incorporated things like Filmora for more casual edits and easier titling. But if I need to do a complex edit, like the one I did for my award-winning short film, I go to Vegas Pro. It's reliable, stable, feature-rich and affordable.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Vegas sits on a very sweet spot: it's a single-purchase license (versus things like Premiere which are only available through subscriptions), but it's not too much more expensive than more enthusiast offerings such as Filmora. For that one-time payment, you get a lifetime license to one of the most established non-linear editors in the business. There's a wealth of support and information online (which sets it apart from newcomers) and the business model is much more small-business-friendly than the Adobe subscription model.

#### Cons

Magix acquired Vegas from Sony a few years back but not much has changed. I really wish there were better built-in titles, for example. Better support for hardware acceleration of the timeline and edit process. The titling issue in particular usually means I have to edit my footage further somewhere else. But to be honest, the NLE workflow is good enough that I don't mind the extra steps for titling.

#### Reasons for choosing VEGAS Pro

The single-license purchase model made VEGAS Pro a no-brainer when choosing it over Premiere.

### Vegas pro is good for the most part

Overall it is a good program. I continue to use it with caution to save after each section is edited.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It is an easy platform to use. It does not take long to learn and has several easy tricks and functions. Clipping and splicing are super easy and natural. You can always find how to learn new functions on YouTube.

#### Cons

Vegas does have an issue with rendering. Rendering takes a while on a standard computer and with over 15 minutes per video, it will crash quite often. 99% of the time for me it will always crash right as I select Render. You have to save often to avoid loss, and always save just prior to rendering.

#### Reasons for choosing VEGAS Pro

I had experience with Vegas 13 and wouldn't have to learn a new program, time is of the essence.

#### Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro

To get a more user friendly interface.

### Still one of the best video editing tool for single camera projects

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Geoffrey J.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services

I'm very happy with the software. Sure, there is a bit of a learning curve but once you master the shortcuts and the logic... Editing becomes super fast, and you can automate most actions through scripts or plugins.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

First : It's a highly flexible tool for whom you can code your own scripts to automate actions. Second : The real time preview is a real time saver. Third : It's affordable, and upgrades to get the lastest version are cheap. And most importantly : It doesn't slow down your computer or crashes as much as it's direct competitor. So that you can render your project while still working (in your browser for instance) on something else less computer intensive.

#### Cons

The out of the box "picture in picture" feature was overly complicated without a plugin. The multicam was cumbersome. Not sure if they improved it in their latest upgrade to something faster to produce and easier to edit like in Final Cut Pro X.

#### Reasons for choosing VEGAS Pro

Computer requirements were too demanding. Everything seemed very slow and eventually crashed the app (or the computer). The opposite of what I was trying to achieve.

#### Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro

Workflow was too time consuming. Access to a limited feature set was limiting our creativity as well.

I like this software and I can see the effort they put into this video editor.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The text-to-speech (t2s) function...!! In the past, I need to record my own voice for the video. But with Vegas Pro t2s function, it is much quicker and faster for me to complete my tasks.Also, it can now connect to those libraries that VEGAS Pro provides. This save me much time from going to the web and grab those royalty-free images or clips.

#### Cons

Well, the library from VEGAS Pro is good enough for general use. However, when it compares to other free library (such as PEXELS or Pixarbay), you will notice there is a gap between them.

#### Reasons for choosing VEGAS Pro

I think VEGAS Pro's UI is generall better. And I also find the rendering speed is quite fast.

#### Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro

I use VEGAS Pro for the Text-to-Speech function. But I do use Filmora from time to time, too.

Having utilized Sony Vegas extensively for an extended period, I can confidently say that it is a powerful and reliable editing tool. Its comprehensive editing suite, intuitive interface, and efficient rendering capabilities have consistently facilitated my creative endeavors.

VEGAS Pro became our main solution to edit videos and use them in our marketing campaigns, this platform was perfect for us, we adapted very quickly to the editing functions, in addition, we have a team with very good editing knowledge and this it made it possible for us to get a lot more profit our of Sony Vegas. This platform managed to get us better special effects for our videos, and it also made our videos have a much higher quality than what we got on any other platform. I loved the experience gained and I think continue to use Vegas Pro for a longer time to create videos for my company.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

VEGAS Pro is considered by me to be one of the most complete video editors that currently exists. I liked the way that Sony Vegas allowed me to completely modify the audio tracks of my videos, I was able to modify the tracks, repeat them, integrate new audio tracks in the same video and also add special effects to each track individually, that it was fantastic. I also liked the wide variety of animations available in Sony Vegas, I can add animations to make the camera follow a specific object, add animations to objects so they move from one place to another and many more animations. I also like the way that Vegas Pro allows me to modify the video quality that my video will have when rendered, this allows me to modify the quality that I want to achieve.

#### Cons

The rendering process will take time depending on the computer you have, this is quite negative since the general consumption of Vegas Pro is quite high, which means that this video editor cannot be used on any computer, since the more objects and the more audio tracks added to a video, the consumption will be higher and it will affect the performance of the computer. Also, Vegas Pro is not available for mobile devices, so the only way to edit videos with this platform is to use it on your computer.

#### Cons

#### Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro

Back when I was using Premier (and Final Cut Pro) in the late 90's and early 2000's, their features were way too hardware-dependent for the normal PC's of that time. Vegas was a great, lightweight alternative that continues to work as such today, even with all the new bells and whistles that have been added to it over the years.

Vegas almost never crashes on me, which was an a occasional issue with Final Cut. It's just solid software that does what you need it to, with all the professional features and effects.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I have used Vegas and Final Cut, and I have found Vegas to be faster, more reliable, easier to use, and have at least as many features...if not more.

#### Cons

There is nothing I dislike about Sony Vegas. If you're familiar with video editing software you'll get the hang of the layout and quick keys very fast.

#### Reasons for choosing VEGAS Pro
