Vegas Pro 2027
Make more. Worry less.
Vegas Pro 2027 takes the tedious parts of your workflow off your plate: mixed-camera color, render waits, captions, masks, file naming. So you can get back to the only parts that really matter. Shoot. Cut. Publish. Repeat.
Every camera. One timeline.
Color Management, Rebuilt
A-cam shoots Log. B-cam shoots HDR. Your phone shoots something else entirely. Vegas Pro 2027 reads each source on import and brings them into a single color-managed timeline, converting on the fly while you play back.
- Native engine support for a broad range of color spaces, including Log and HDR
- Improved automatic detection and interpretation of source color spaces
- Manual control over color primaries, transfer characteristics, and color range
- Fully GPU-accelerated color space conversion
- More predictable mixed-camera and mixed-color-space projects
Modernized Media Properties
View and adjust critical information about all the media in your project in a completely redesigned dialog. Expanded color-space information and settings, clearer metadata, and technical details you can copy in one click and paste straight into an email, a shot list, or a project doc.
- Improved color-space information and settings
- Improved metadata presentation
- Easier copying of technical media information
Render. Publish. Repeat.
Faster Exports. Less CPU Load.
Get from final edit to finished file faster. An improved GPU pipeline transfers video frames to your hardware encoder more efficiently, avoiding unnecessary copies through system memory. This reduces CPU workload and speeds up exports, especially for simple edits, projects with fewer effects, and format conversions.
- More efficient frame delivery to hardware encoders
- Reduced CPU workload and improved GPU utilization
- Faster exports when memory bandwidth is the bottleneck
- Supported on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel hardware
GPU-Accelerated Hardware Encoding
Building on last year’s 4:2:2 decoding support, Vegas Pro now adds hardware-accelerated 4:2:2 encoding for AVC and HEVC. Export directly from your timeline while preserving 4:2:2 chroma detail for broadcast, grading, and delivery.
- Hardware-accelerated 4:2:2 output in AVC and HEVC
- Supported on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and
Intel Panther Lake platforms - Preserves more color detail than 4:2:0 output
- Less reliance on external encoding tools
High-Resolution Audio Export
You spent an hour on the mix. Don’t hand it to an 8-bit down-converter at the finish line. Vegas Pro 2027 exports 24-bit PCM and AAC alongside AVC and HEVC video, straight into MP4 or MOV.
- 24-bit PCM and AAC audio in MP4 and MOV containers
- Sample rates up to 192 kHz
- Up to 32 audio channels
- The full quality of the Vegas audio engine, preserved
Let the machines do the boring bits.
AI Quick Mask
Rotoscoping is the tax on every composite. AI Quick Mask brings Boris FX AI masking technology directly into the Vegas timeline. Pick your subject, and the mask follows it through the shot.
- AI-assisted object recognition and masking
- High-speed mask propagation
- More stable masks during motion
- On average 20x faster than Smart Mask 2.0
GPU-Accelerated Transcription
(Subscription Only)
Subtitles are no longer optional, and the people watching with the sound off don’t care how long your transcript took. Speech to text now runs on the GPU, so long recordings transcribe faster and subtitles land in your timeline sooner.
- GPU-accelerated transcriptions powered by Whisper
- Faster transcription of long recordings
- Shorter subtitle workflows on larger projects
- Automatic hardware detection with CPU fallback
ElevenLabs Text to Speech
(Subscription Only)
The offline voices are still here but now there’s a second option. Add your own ElevenLabs API key and generate narration from ElevenLabs’ voice library without leaving your edit.
- Optional online text-to-speech provider
- Access to a large library of high-quality ElevenLabs voices inside Vegas Pro
- Bring your own ElevenLabs API key
*ElevenLabs requires a separate ElevenLabs account. No ElevenLabs usage credits are included with Vegas Pro.
Composite FX on Video Events
Some of the best OFX effects, including BCC+ Primatte Studio, need two images to work with. Until now that meant restructuring your tracks. In Vegas Pro 2027, compatible plugins take a secondary image input directly on a single video event.
- Support for OFX effects that require two image inputs
- Improved compatibility with BCC+ composite effects, including Primatte Studio
- Advanced blending, keying, and transition workflows at event level
- No track-hierarchy rework required
Shoot on anything. Cut with anyone.
Nikon ZR N-RAW Support
The Nikon ZR puts RED’s RAW technology in a lot more hands. Vegas Pro 2027 reads it natively, so footage goes from card to timeline without a transcode in between.
- Native support for Nikon ZR N-RAW footage
- No transcoding or intermediate conversion required
Updated Final Cut XML
Productions run on more than one application, and your project shouldn’t be the thing that can’t leave the room. Vegas Pro 2027 updates its Final Cut XML import and export for newer versions, so round-trips to other editing and grading systems are more reliable.
- Compatibility with newer Final Cut XML versions
- More stable project import and export
- Better collaboration with external NLEs
The small stuff that eats your day.
Dynamic Render Filenames
Six versions, three platforms, one client who wants the date in the filename. Build a template once in the Render dialog and every export names itself.
- Tokens for project, frame rate, resolution, codec, preset, date, time, and counter
- “Insert placeholder” picker, so there’s no syntax to memorize
- Live preview of the resolved filename before you render
- Counters compatible with %d and %i formats
Vegas Titles & Text, Improved
Your audience is international. Now your titles are too. The built-in titler picks up the things you’ve asked for.
- Character-based foreground and background color
- Right-to-left text support
- Expanded Unicode and multilingual support
- Auto Subtitles with adjustable foreground and background colors
ARM Platform Support (coming soon)
A native build for Windows on ARM, built for Snapdragon X and X2 and NVIDIA RTX Spark systems. Hybrid compatibility with existing x64 components.
And more
- ProRes encoding unlocked up to 8K
- Storyblocks: audio and video categories plus a resolution filter (Subscription Only)
- Updated DeckLink, RED, and MainConcept SDKs
- Numerous stability and performance optimizations
