Earlier in September we revealed a number of the most exciting features coming to Premiere Pro CC. What we didn’t tell you is that this release includes over 170 new features across Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, not to mention new features for After Effects, Audition, and Team Projects. And the best news is all these new features are available now.
We know it’s been a long time coming for true improvements in the area of hardware acceleration for rendering in VEGAS Pro. When we took over production of VEGAS Pro nearly a year and a half ago, nothing was closer to the top of our priority list than this. In VEGAS Pro 14, we introduced hardware-accelerated HEVC rendering for both 8-bit and 10-bit rendering.
Adobe showcased 360/VR editing tools for Premiere Pro and After Effects, that are in development, during IBC 2017. A lot of the new additions were centered around the acquisition of the Skybox Studio plugins from Mettle and their inclusion inside Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Last years’ VEGAS 14 is still called Sony VEGAS by most people I talk to, in fact, search for Sony VEGAS on Google or eBay and you will find many results for VEGAS 14. So, with VEGAS 15 in our hands have MAGIX finally shaken off the Sony mantle and how does this, their difficult second album shape up?
For many it is the best NLE that ever existed.

It is of course Vegas Pro. Michael Bryant takes us through the origins of this unique, and popular software.
Software developer Adobe is taking aim at Hollywood with a new version of its Premiere Pro CC editing software.
…Vegas Pro 15 is a major upgrade of the non-linear editing program I have used professionally for more than 15 years. I rely on Vegas Pro on a daily basis because it remains the fastest way to get from an idea to a finished video. This is the second version of Vegas Pro to come from the Magix stable and I was very keen to see how the team at Magix had handled the numerous requests and suggestions from users on the Forum.
Trying to figure out which editing software is best is a question authors on PVC have indirectly and even directly asked in many different ways. There are numerous considerations when it comes to making a decision about which NLE to use, and all of those options have a laundry list of pros and cons. Very often though, the choices creative professionals make will be more about familiarity than they are about what kind of options that choice affords them.

Vegas Pro is a comprehensive, all in one post production “must have” NLE companion with everything you need to create high end projects. I have used Vegas Pro for more than ten years and yes, I am a Mac user, and yes, I have had Windows partition with BootCamp from day one on my MacBook Pro only for VEGAS PRO as that is my backpack studio.
