  • Questions for Long Time Vegas Pro users

    Posted by Kenneth Maultsby on January 13, 2025 at 9:09 pm

    Hello all, I am thinking about using Vegas Pro for fast turnaround short projects. First, let me give you a little short background. First off, I am just a home user editing family events, vacations, Air and Auto shows etc. I have used the Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, until they went subscription base and now DaVinci Resolve. I have been trying to use Vegas all the back from Version 13 never could get it to work of always crash. I now have Vegas Pro Post Vegas 21 which looks like it is running very smooth and faster now. I just started a project, and I will see if I can complete it. I have the Perpetual license version. And I have Boris Continuum to use with it. Now the questions.

    1. I see there is a Vegas 22 now but no more Vegas Post and Vegas Effects, just Vegas Pro Suite. If I upgrade, will it remove Vegas Effects and Vegas Image?

    2. As mentioned above, I have the Perpetual license version, but what advantages for the subscription version? Basically, is it worth it?

    Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Kenneth,

    I have just purchased a bundle of Magix software, including Vegas Pro Suite on a perpetual licence (and Sound Forge + Movie Maker).

    Like you, I am looking to use it on smaller projects + support those of my corporate/NGO clients that does not want to work on a subscription.

    I can see that you’ve just posted the same question on the VEGAS Magix forum, although it makes no difference to me, I’ll be interested in the answer.
    A qualified guess is that many of the plug-ins might only have worked for up to HD, or even 4K, and with the platform going up to 8K, they might have retired it for that reason.
    I could also be that they have built the old “add-on” effects into the main software.

    Do keep in mind, that just back in August, Adobe product marketing team retired all of their PPro legacy effects and told their customer base to buy plug-ins that do much of the same.
    No, they did not specify what effects one should purchase to replace the Legacy effects…

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I through I was on the Vegas forum and was in Resolve forum. I was trying to remove it but could not. So my take is you have not worked with Vegas 22 at this time?

    No, I am waiting for a new workstation to install Vegas 22 on.
    But in a past life, I worked on a predecessor to Vegas.
    Back in the day News Broadcasters found Vegas easier to roll out and use, than Avid and FCP.
    I suspect that cost was a factor too in that decision.
