Should I upgrade from Vegas Pro 14 to Vegas Pro 15?

[Rick Kersey]

I’m also retired but I shoot two pretty darn good ballets and a couple of other things each year. I helped shoot a full length movie earlier which was a learning experience. For that I used a Canon C100 with a Ninja Blade. My partner and I have always wanted to shoot the ballet in 4K. He’s still working so he plunged into the Sony/Ninja world ahead of me. I had to follow. He’s a bad influence.

Thanks for the response. Still not convinced I need to upgrade Vegas. I may be too old to take on the Premier learning curve but I do have enough time….I think.

Although I have upgraded to Magix Vegas Pro 16, I have migrated over to DaVinci Resolve 15 (public beta). It does everything I need and much better and more stable than any version of Vegas I have used. It didn’t come easy, as it has been about 2 years. I first started tinkering with Resolve 12, then 12.5, then 14 and finally version 15, when I made my first complete project within Resolve. Once I committed to learning it, it seemed to get easier and easier, once I got Vegas out of my head.

Still, I have used Vegas Pro a lot over the years, so I am only tinkering with it now mostly for giggles and grins I suppose to justify the time I have spent learning and now enjoying DaVinci Resolve.

Not sure what your delivery format is, but even in Vegas Pro 12, you should be able to take advantage of superior color correction, green screen, and composting using the 4:2:2 10 bit quality you get from the Ninja Flame and pass that on in intermediates like Cineform or DNxHD/DNxHR, and from there your favorite delivery format. Best of Luck.

Best Regards……George

I used Vegas MS about 5 times. It crashed twice, trying to manipulate V12 projects. All sorts of garbage: green screens , corrupted projects from V12. A DUD
