Pros / Cons
  • Being able to create separate scenes with their own sources is very handy, as sometimes I want to use OBS for streaming (which would have a different scene setup), and sometimes just screen recording.
  • It is a fight to configure the docks in the space you want them and many times the configuration is not supported so it wastes precious screen space.

  • 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.
