Another issue that I face with Vegas pro is the huge amount of processing power it consumes making it very difficult to run multiple software at the same time --- ### Best video editing software so far - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rayhanali A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. So far this is the best video editing software in my opinion. This is not too simple of which there is a very limited feature available, but not too complex either, so it is a sweet spot also for first-time user. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Flexible use, user-friendly interface, great community, huge library and features to choose from. #### Cons Some features use really technical terms, which are a bit hard to understand for common people at first. #### Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro This software is much more easier to much, but also includes more features. --- ### VEGAS Pro your ultimate software for creating stunning videos! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Stefano S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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 - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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 rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ben S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Environmental Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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 - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. --- ### Simple, Fast, but also Powerful - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Matt S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Media Production - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. --- ### Sony Vegas Pro 16 is a complex, advanced video editing program - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Artur N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. --- ### Modernization of Local Programming: A Brief Insight on Ten Years with Vegas Pro - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Roya R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have been using Vegas Pro in an official capacity since 2011, with history using it as early as 2008, currently on Version 016 (Build 0352) as of typing: This software has served as the only resource that I and many of those who make up my production team use to produce our local programming, due to its noticeably easy User Interface and extreme ability to be enhanced through Third Party extensions to help keep a user on the same build for many years before having to do a major upgrade; its constant performance and stability improvements with each version and future generations of CPUs, GPUs, and RAM assures that it will continue to see ever more use as it becomes easier and faster to produce even the heaviest of workloads. Although it is plagued with a plethora of Glitches and Crashes that get fixed as the software matures and CPU/GPU Driver updates arrive, Vegas Pro is significantly more affordable and accessible than Adobe's suite of software and other relevant competition, having far more community support than most other platforms; optimized for Intel and AMD's modern era Sixteen+ Core CPUs and AMD's Vega II GPUs, anybody can build a High End Desktop for less than 2000$ USD and see effective results with Vegas Pro for many years to come, media producers such as myself can develop local programming without having to upgrade an HEDT system for a good while and we'll still get the most out of the software, it is ageless and will continue to deliver a powerful impact. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros ~ Significant levels of Ease of Access for multiple media file types of many ages and forms. ~ Expansive resource set to allow for more Extensions, Special Effects, and Scene Transitions to help mature and evolve the software's capabilities. ~ Support for High Framerate footage and countless forms of Colour Profiles. ~ Usable on virtually every possible Desktop or Laptop hardware combination over the past matter of decades. #### Cons ~ The Digital Version does not come with an expansive Instruction Manual to understand how to use every effect, specifically in regards to Third Party resources that can be added during the life of the application's run. ~ Massive amounts of inexplicable Glitches and Crashes (though many can be fixed through manual tweaking and official Bugfix builds). ~ Occasional Requirement to reinstall QuickTime after select major firmware updates of Windows. ~ Critical issues with RAM consumption (specifically Committed Memory) when using media assets of a certain codec or a resolution that is significantly higher than the Project Size. ~ Heavy dependency on OpenCL favours AMD's Compute~based Graphics Cards over Nvidia's Graphics~based cards (though this may be beneficial for PC builders on a tighter budget). #### Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro I upgraded to Vegas Pro (Version 011) from Microsoft's Windows Live Movie Maker that initially came with Windows 07, which was significantly important in assuring the improvement of production quality and file size of our works in Late 2011 and onward, with us moving away from WLMM completely in Late 2014. Vegas helped deliver a better insight into how media production is truly meant to be done, delivering a real Professional Grade feel that dominates anything that WLMM could've delivered to us in years prior; had this switch not ever been done, my group's works would've suffered significantly and remained stuck in an era of static impact going forward, thus I wholeheartedly applaud what Sony and MAGIX have done with the software in my time of using it, Vegas Pro may not be perfect but it still gets the job done for me and my workforce far more than virtually any other software could at the speed and effectiveness that it has managed to do for north of ten years. --- ### Vegas Pro 20 - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gary B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Motion Pictures and Film - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Incredible. I am a musician/composer and sound effects designer, and I work with video and music a lot. So it's nice to have all my niches use ONE editor/brand. Whether I'm working on audio, or audio and video, Vegas Pro is invaluable as a powerful tool to get through any type project that comes up. I honestly believe that of all the editors, Vegas has to be the best choice for intuitive design. The interface for Vegas is very logical and intuitive. Perfect for those of us who are artists. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Overall ease of use. All the important features are easy to find and use, and there's plenty of features that go levels deeper when you need them. #### Cons This might be an issue I would suggest gets resolved. And that is the compatibility between past projects from former versions of Vegas... for example, Vegas 11 to Vegas 20. I wish they had a way to open older versions of Vegas without major snags. Some kine of an interface that converted say... a project from Vegas 11 (or other) to the current version 20. I say this because I have project that are on going... and sometimes it would be nice to just import older edits to current projects. #### Reasons for choosing VEGAS Pro I had tried Vegas when it was just an audio editor... and it was so intelligently designed and capable of major editing projects. So accepting Vegas as audio and video was easy for me... and I never regretted it. --- ### Love Vegas! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Alex O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I don’t think I would’ve used Vegas for as long as I have if it wasn’t an amazing piece of software. I highly recommend it to everyone. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Vegas has been reliable for most of the time I’ve used it, it does have a tendency to crash, but only when I’m doing too much with my computer. It’s edit videos very well and can be used by professionals and amateurs alike. #### Cons I do hate the fact that it does occasionally crash, this means I need to save the project regularly. But it doesn’t mean it crashes that much that it’s an actual issue. --- ### Vegas Pro: A gateway tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: João B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons 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. --- ### Nearly perfect Vegas Pro. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Julio Cesar d. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Simplicity when editing, however, we have to be very careful: after executing each command, remember to press control + S so as not to lose work in case of a bug, which is common in vegas. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Easy to import, edit texts, insert effects and render. #### Cons I didn't find the feature to configure automatic adjustment when pasting audio and video tracks after cutting during editing. I have to do this manually. That, plus hours of editing, is time consuming. --- ### My First Love in the Editing World - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Juan F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Outsourcing/ Offshoring - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It was simple to use. This is where I learned how to edit and I was making my first video after an hour of installing and watching some tutorials. #### Cons I wanted to go pro, using more tools and integrating it with other software. --- ### MOV container files will not work in Vegas Pro - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Clayton Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Not great, and it does not work on my newer devices which all use .mov containers. DaVinci Resolve free version works much better which is a big surprise. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I do like fx features and the workflow, but none of my new camera gear will work in it anymore. #### Cons Why does Magix think .mov files are obsolete and always related to Quicktime which they are doing away with? It is my understanding that .mov is just a container, and codec can vary in containers. For instance, my new Atomos Ninja V recorder uses .mov containers with DNxHR codex. Does not work in Vegas but it works without any problems in the free version of DaVinci Resolve. Same thing with 2 of my new action action cameras that also use the .mov container, but it works great in DaVinci Resolve. Vegas Pro also does not have Prores support. What can I actually use Vegas Pro 17 for? Does not work at all for my Atomos Recorder or action cams. I can do a couple tweaks for my Atomos with the DNxHR codex installed separately, but I can't get video on action cameras. I regret spending the money on Vegas Pro 17 now. #### Reasons for choosing VEGAS Pro Gave it a try because I liked the workflow --- ### Vegas Pro, a very fantastic video editor tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Zulfa A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Games - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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, #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Quite easy to use, great interface, lot's of effect even on stock, Capable of using green screen effect #### Cons Sometimes crash, it needs quite a lots of RAM. #### Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro More choice and more creative ways to use Vegas Pro than movie maker --- ### My honest review about VEGAS Pro after years of use - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tim M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Vegas has been my go to editor for 15 years. I can customize nearly every option of a render format quickly and easily. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This is the most intuitive Non-Linear-Editor I've used. What takes several clicks in other editors is a mouse-drag away on the timeline. #### Cons They recently changed ownership, which was not without a few bumps in the road. Thankfully it is all ironed out. #### Reasons for switching to VEGAS Pro Ease of use, faster results. --- ### Vegas pro when you need video editing - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrew H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

In general, the rendering process is very good, it works fast and you have many options in choosing the rendering settings. The interface is quite friendly and attractive. In conclusion, VEGAS PRO is a great program, highly recommended. #### Cons The learning curve when starting to use the editor can be very slow, and on top of that, update support is currently lousy. Also, many processes such as rendering can slow down excessively. --- ### Easy to use - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Hemal B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

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 Hunch ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-editing/vegas-pro-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- VEGAS Pro Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
