maybe this video (start at 4:30) will answer your question. It is good to very good compard to the old but Mercalli is golden.

The work flow is intuitive and Magix is putting a lot of resources in getting VP to be a front line program again since Sony let it become so dated.
Quick and easy but very powerful. 17 only has one problem that I know and that is the Screen Capture has some issues. The new color correction tool is very good and is the stabilization. Vegas is very friendly to VSTi and is near DAW like in its sound tools.
The ability to proxy and now have various types of nesting is very critical to the way I work. and to be honest after developing “muscle memory” I am not about to change though I did try Resolve and Premier – for me Vegas is a better “one man band” tool. HEVC is now supported for encode and decode with AMD GPU’s still being worked on but Intel and Nevida (sp?) are rocking it.
I say this to anyone think about changing NLE’s or just getting started. Down load the trials, take a project you have done in the past and redo it in each one. One you learn a NLE and need a production tool changing horses can be a very hard thing to do.

Why not re-code in HandBrake?

One and the same I think:

Yes, there are issue but Magix has been very responsible in getting things fixed. So far the color grading and the new lens correction filter have been the stars for me. I have the 7.5 FE, Oly 9-18, and use the Pany 14mm f2.5 with GWC1 for a low light 10mm, this filter makes its extremely easy to get to video. Secondly with the right settings I am now getting 1:1 render on my old i7700/4200 ghz 32 gig memory and RX480 8 gig with the HEVC codecs. A little faster on the 16 on the Magix PRO Res settings. I always leave the previous version on for a couple of months. Lots of good things in Vegas since Magix took over. When Acid became comatose in Sony’s hands I switched to Samplitude & kept Sound Forge and now with Vegas my little (and I do mean little) production studio does more than I will ever need. Been using my G9 to shoot 6K video and it’s nice to be able to use Vegas and proxies to use the 6K to crop in a 4K timeline. If you are not in the Magix forum (a bit of the wild, wild west at times) and your a VP user, you should visit.

60 FPS even 1080P can put a real strain on a computer system. My i7700 4200 with 32 gig fast ram, SSD, and 480 8 Gig GPU doesn’t crash but it can be very, very slow. I work with proxies and then render with the machine doing nothing else.

Do you have Magix Intemediate codec (PRORes sub)? Less stress on the processing engine.
-
render to intermediate codec first
-
I use an i7700 4.2 Ghz with 32 gig ram and an AMD480 8 Gig. This sounds like 1080P at a low bit rate.
I don’t know how much memory your GPU has, but I think right off the bat a second fast SSD to render to would be the one thing I’d get. If you have less than 4 Gig on your GPU that also might help.

Lindsay:
Magix VegasPRO 16 uses the Magix Intermediate codec (which is PRORES), no additional stuff is needed. It is very easy to customize in HQ, 422, and XQ formats.
DnxHD would have to be added.
