Sensational tool for video and audio editing.

Pros:

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!!!

Cons:

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.

VEGAS Pro your ultimate software for creating stunning videos!

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

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.

Video editing if others does not fit

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.

Pros:

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

Cons:

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.

Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro

Vegas Pro Is The Underrated NLE King

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.

Functionality

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

Value for money

Functionality

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

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

Value for money

Functionality

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.

Functionality

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.

Sony Vegas Pro 16 is a complex, advanced video editing program

In our work in marketing, we produce a large number of video materials. Thanks to Vegas Pro, work is easier and faster, and therefore videos are cheaper.

Functionality

Pros:

A very extensive and at the same time intuitive program, the great advantages of which are: 360 video support, automatically adjusting subtitles, a large number of various types of transitions and effects. Works with video materials in all basic formats (DV, AVCHD, HDV, SD / HD-SDI, HEVC, ProRes).

Cons:

The biggest disadvantage of Vegas Pro is the high price and the need to spend time learning the program.

Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro

Vegas Pro is a little easier for me to use than DaVinci Resolve.
