VEGAS Pro The fastest NLE. For passionate creatives.

Removing sections of clips means one thing: jump cuts. Now, VEGAS has you covered with Smart Split. Choose the section you want to remove, and Smart Split not only removes it, but transitions the remaining events together and hides the jump cut with the new Warp Flow transition. A great, easy way to hide jump cuts.

The dynamic storyboard workflow might just change the way you edit from now on. Quickly assemble rough cuts and alternate versions in an uncomplicated storyboard environment. Changes made to the main storyboard are reflected instantaneously in the timeline. In reverse, edits on the timeline can be synchronized to the storyboard with only one click, or automatically. Additional storyboards can also be created and used for experimental edits, alternate sequencing, or to keep track of different sections within your video.

With the powerful, flexible Bézier Masking plug-in, you can create up to five different masks, using oval, rectangle or custom shapes. These can then either cut a section of the video out to reveal different video beneath, or have an effect applied within them – such as color grading or blur – making it possible to blur someone's face while leaving the rest of the video in focus. Used in conjunction with the new motion tracker, the mask can move along with an object during the course of the video.

Stabilization can be a bit of a “dark art.” But now the Motion Track visualization tool helps take the mystery out of establishing your optimal stabilization settings. Activate the visualizations to provide an analysis of the video's motion so you can decide what settings will give the best results.

Does your footage have a case of the shakes that makes it unusable? No problem. Now streamline your workflow even more than ever with world-class video stabilization on the timeline at the event level. No more waiting for an entire media clip to process. Quickly stabilize only what you need.

Now record multiple computer screens and audio sources simultaneously with the Integrated Screen Capture utility. Import captured files straight to your VEGAS timeline, where they're completely synchronized and ready to edit. Perfect for video streams, instructional videos, and more.

Edit multicamera productions intuitively and efficiently with VEGAS Pro. Switch between a virtually unlimited number of video sources with a keyboard command or a click of your mouse. Easily transform a multicam track into an individual event for detailed editing.

VEGAS Pro has a comprehensive list of file backup options. You can back up your work after a set time (determined in minutes, hours or days); save the current project after every edit and also save a backup file (or number of backups) after every edit. All backups can be saved to the same folder as the project file, a temporary location or any user-specified location.

CTRL+drag an event edge to stretch or compress playback.

Fast, smooth time-line editing. Quickly overlap timeline clip events to instantly create a crossfade between them.

Get instant real-time feedback as you crop still photos or video frames with controls directly on the Video Preview window.

Easily save your color grading settings as a LUT in .cube format, and apply it to multiple clips in your project, or use it in an entirely different project. Make your color grading faster and more efficient than ever. Even share your color grading settings with members of your team.

Easily set proper white and black values for your footage. To do so, VEGAS Pro searches for the brightest and darkest pixels in the clip and sets them to full white and black. Afterwards, you can manipulate the color curve separately to adjust either value or both.

VEGAS Pro supports S-Log and other advanced color space technology so you can take advantage of the wide color spaces of the most modern video cameras from all manufacturers.

VEGAS Pro leverages proprietary optical flow technology for silky-smooth native slow motion. The Slow Motion OFX plug-in analyzes one frame to the next and creates intermediary frames for stunning results that couldn't be achieved before. Analyze video clips independently for stunning slow-motion sequences.

Create an interesting Sci-fi morphing transition between clips. The Warp Flow transition analyzes the last frame of your first clip and the first frame of the next clip, then automatically creates intermediate frames which seem to morph one clip to the next for a unique, interesting effect.

Mesh Warp gives you a grid of points to map your video on. Correct distortions, or unlock your imagination and stretch and tweak your image in all kinds of creative ways for neat, sci-fi style effects. Even map your images to distorted shapes or contours. Take advantage of limitless possibility.

Add a video effect or filter like Pixelate, then apply a mask to limit the effect to a specific portion of the video to obscure logos, license plates or faces without affecting the rest of the video.

VEGAS Pro uses a multi-layer, top-down paradigm for compositing and masking, which enables you to assign tracks as parent or child tracks. Apply compositor effects to create stylized lighting and textured looks. An impressive array of compositing modes provides comprehensive options for visual design. The 3D Source Alpha mode enables you to move and rotate tracks in 3D space and use them in a stereoscopic 3D project.

The Open Effects Association platform is a contemporary technology that provides video effect plug-ins from third-party developers. The resulting steady stream of innovative plug-ins gives VEGAS Pro users a wide range of special effects and fresh techniques for creating cutting-edge productions.

Record, monitor and mix audio from external devices via input buses to take advantage of your hardware compressors, reverb units, echo boxes and other outboard equipment. Use the real-time rendering option to mix audio from external audio devices into your final render.

Optimize your mixes to maximize audio dynamic range. Create compliant renders for any signal path. This helps you achieve the perfect auditory experience for viewers.

Record track envelope and keyframe parameters in real time with a mouse or external control surface hardware. Choose between touch and latch record modes and utilize automatic post-record keyframe thinning. Automation parameter control is available for both stereo and surround tracks and buses, as well as for video tracks.

The future is in 8K, and VEGAS Pro takes you there with native 8K support and a powerful proxy workflow for efficient editing even on lower-powered systems. Edit 8K and take advantage of panning, zooming, and cropping when you output to HD or 4K. Or complete your editing and output to full 8K for the highest resolution.

Modern HDR and HLG applications demand a higher bit depth.Take advantage of a qualifying NVIDIA graphics card and render to 10-bit HEVC using the NVENC codec. The deeper, more robust, and flexible color capability of 10-bit is ideal for high dynamic range footage and for heavy color correction.

Create Smart Proxy clips in VEGAS Pro and enjoy faster playback of high-resolution video footage. Depending on playback settings, media will automatically and dynamically switch to proxy. The original data is maintained for the final post-rendering version. You can also set a preference to automatically create proxy files when you add Ultra HD media to your project.

Organize your completed project along with its associated media with the flexible Archive feature. You can also archive all media associated with a project or only the media used on the timeline, including nested projects.

Natively edit formats such as HEVC, XAVC, and XAVC S in HD, 2K and 4K without additional add-ons or plug-ins.

When you close a project, VEGAS Pro remembers exactly where you left the cursor on the timeline. The next time you open that project, VEGAS Pro automatically returns to the cursor position so that you don't ever have to spend another minute trying to remember where you left off.

Storyboards are great, and they just got even better. Now create separate storyboards for each nested timeline in your project. Add the same media file to a storyboard multiple times with independent in and out points. Take your rough cutting to the next level.

Export your customized preference settings easily and quickly. Then, import them into VEGAS Pro on different machine. Or, export them before you upgrade your software to a new version, and then import them once the new version is installed. You don't ever have to spend your time manually resetting your preferences again.

VEGAS Pro can automatically save a new project each time you save. This enables you to experiment with creative ideas and simply switch back to a "safe" version of the project if you don't like the results of your experiment.

More details for the render dialog allows you to to more effectively plan your render sessions. Plus you have more information about the file that will result.

Never edit the wrong timeline event again. Easily identify the event edge to trim and move it within the timeline.

Sometimes the perfect edit means moving a group of events all at once. But sometimes you need to move only one or two and leave the others. Now you can temporarily ignore event grouping instantly to make your edit, while the events stay permanently grouped.

Now you have the option to display the exact length of your event right on the event itself. What’s more, you can also manually change the length value right in the display to adjust the length of the event with no need for dragging ends or manually counting frames.

We’ve all had the unpleasant surprise of finding we deleted a clip from our timeline because we didn’t realize it was on a track we deleted. Avoid that from now on!  VEGAS Pro now warns you if the track you’re deleting contains any media. No more accidents – know that you’re safe.

Use modern, logical docking controls to adjust your window layout so that it perfectly fits your unique workflow. Easily save and recall layouts designed for specific production tasks.

This innovative menu system enables you to customize high-traffic areas of the user interface so you can find the tools you need quickly while at the same time keeping the workspace clutter free.
