“VEGAS Pro 17 continues to be a solid editor for the user who prefers Windows. It’s got a lot going for it, but it’s different than most other NLEs. The typical user is going to be the independent video professional who doesn’t regularly need to exchange project files or work with a mix of other freelance editors.”

Check out some highlights from this article from ProVideoCoalition.com on VEGAS Pro 17, below.

“To start with, this is an easy-to-use editing application that’s optimized for a Windows 10 workstation. It’s a 64-bit application that thoroughly takes advantage of the Windows media framework. If you are using NVIDIA or AMD graphics cards, then you also get the benefit of GPU acceleration for effects and some codecs, as well as for speeding up rendering.”

“Thanks to Magix’s renewed support of the VEGAS Creative Software team, VEGAS Pro 17 sports over 30 new features. The biggest of these is nested timelines. VEGAS has always approached its project structure as being based on a single timeline. Working with multiple timelines required a workaround that involved opening multiple instances of the application. While nested or compound clips are pretty common in most other NLEs, this new feature in VEGAS takes a different approach.”

“The next big feature is a unified color grading workspace. This combines all of the common grading tools like color wheels and curves into a single panel.”

“Other features include planar tracking, optical flow slow motion, a warp flow (morph) transition, support for 8K files, integrated screen capture, a mesh warp effect, clip stabilization, and more.”

Redsharknews.com recently posted a great review on Vegas Pro. We’re going to take a look at that article below!

Vegas, an extremely capable NLE that’s been around since 1999, is now owned by Magix. It seems to have found a comfortable and welcoming home with the German company, where it’s being actively developed and supported, after a period of stagnation and uncertainty.

I first came across Vegas very soon after it was released. You may be surprised to know that at first it didn’t support video. That’s an unusual strategy for a video editor, but – back then – it wasn’t a video editor. It was, quite specifically, an a multitrack audio application, and a very good one, I remember, if a little confusingly positioned in the market place because what it definitely wasn’t, was a multitrack version of Sound Forge, Sonic, Foundry’s seminal stereo audio editor.

I’d spent most of the previous years working for companies that sold DAWs, and I’d seen the demise of the hardware-based systems in favour of downloadable audio editors like Cool Edit Pro, which went on to become the basis for Adobe’s Audition.

So here was a very classy-looking multitrack audio editor that didn’t need specialist hardware. It was interesting for that alone. But then, along came Firewire (Sony called it iLink and engineers called it IEEE 1394), which was the first time you could link a digital camera directly to generic computer without a special interface card – although most PCs didn’t come with DV on the motherboards – so you still needed a DV interface.

Workflow improvements in Vegas Pro 17 start with a nested timeline feature that allows products to be organized into smaller sections, allowing users to move from the master timeline into complex nested timelines that can be shared with assistants as separate project files.

Vegas Pro’s newly unified color-grading workflow integrates the software’s grading tools in one panel and supports LUT exports so that color settings can be reused elsewhere, in other clips or in other projects. Vegas Pro 17 also has GPU-based open color I/O processing in the ACES 1.1 color space, with support for HDR grading, scopes, preview and delivery using either HDR10 or HLG.

AVC/HEVC decoding can now run on the GPU for smoother playback from the timeline, and Vegas now supports 8K files, either panned and cropped on the timeline or delivered in full 8K.

A new optical-flow slow-motion effect has been added for interpolating frames in slow-motion footage, and the Warp Flow transition interpolates frames to “morph” from the tail of one clip to the head of the next. Smart Split Edit can be used to hide jump cuts in interviews, and a new planar motion tracking feature now supports tracking and pinning objects that aren’t square with the camera view.

“More than any other release, our users have directed what our team has developed in this version,” said Vegas Product Manager Gary Rebholz in a prepared statement. “They’ve been completely clear about what they wanted to see from the software over the past three years, and their suggestions have made this an incredibly robust and feature-rich release.”

Vegas Pro 17 is available in four different versions. The basic Vegas Pro 17 Edit ($399) has the software’s full feature set; Vegas Pro 17 ($599) adds Boris FX Continuum Lens Flare 3D and Vegas DVD Architect for DVD and Blu-ray authoring; Vegas Pro 17 Suite ($799) brings Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro 6 and more Boris FX tools into the mix, and the Vegas Pro 365 subscription offering (from $16.67/month) includes future product updates as well as the Sound Forge Audio Studio 13 audio editing software.
