en general vegas pro me parece una grata y util herramienta, lo uso desde sus version 8 para editar material audiovisual como hobby y tambien de manera profesional. sorprende la gran cantidad de funciones y herramientas que se han ido agregando en cada version brindando mayor libertad al crear y editar. sus opciones de renderizado permite multiples formatos.
es una herramienta potente para la edicion de video y audio, su timeline es la clave. un usuario nuevo puede trabajar desde el timeline y renderizar rapidamente en el formato que mas desee. a su vez, un usuario avanzado cuenta con cientos de herramientas, plugins y extras que ayudaran a crear contenido profesional de gran calidad. su interfaz es facil de entender
el espacio de trabajo o pantalla principal suele ser algo impactante para un nuevo usuario, en versiones mas antiguas, como VEGAS PRO 12 o anteriores la interfaz era mas sencilla.

For an inexpensive and available editing software, I always use this for its ease of use and accessibility. It is what I use rather than other expensive software that only recognizes a certain type of computer.
It was easy to use from purchase with all the templates at hand. The visual layout isn't crowded and the tools for editing are understandable from the get go.
Sometimes crashes for a laptop edit with big size files of videos but the best thing is it saves from the last point of editing.

Vegas Pro is a great video editing software with good functional details, I used it for a long time, but because my daily video editing needs are not too complicated so I use a simpler video editing software
I like Vegas Pro because of the complete functionality of video editing software, suitable for professionals with detailed functions
My daily video editing needs don't require complicated details, so I decided to use easier and simpler software.

Logiciel facile d'utilisation, très complet on peut vraiment tout faire pour un montage vidéo de qualité.
Logiciel qui demande beaucoup d'énergie pour l'ordinateur, mais c'est normal au vu de qualité du logiciel.

In our work in marketing, we produce a large number of video materials. Thanks to Vegas Pro, work is easier and faster, and therefore videos are cheaper.
A very extensive and at the same time intuitive program, the great advantages of which are: 360 video support, automatically adjusting subtitles, a large number of various types of transitions and effects. Works with video materials in all basic formats (DV, AVCHD, HDV, SD / HD-SDI, HEVC, ProRes).
The biggest disadvantage of Vegas Pro is the high price and the need to spend time learning the program.

Vegas es un buen editor, ofrece una interfaz bastante amigable y es fácil utilizarlo una vez que aprendes
Es genial la cantidad de efectos, transiciones que tiene por defecto el programa, te ahorra el trabajo de tener que descargar otros programas adicionales ya que muchas cosas las puedes hacer solamente en Vegas, no es muy intuitivo el programa pero cuando vas practicando ya es más fácil de aprender a usarlo
Hay funciones que son innecesariamente complicadas de ejecutar, como mover archivos png. Otra cosa molesta es que suele dejar de responder y se cierra el programa

Conozco Vegas Pro desde hace más de 7 años, y siempre me ha gustado por su facilidad y la forma en que uno puede crear muchas cosas con la creatividad de uno. Pero he visto que hay programas que están superandolo mucho, y están ofreciendo una experiencia mejor.
Me ha gustado mucho su facilidad de uso y lo rápido que uno se puede familiarizar con el software. Al igual que también ofrece una gran variedad de efectos y transiciones. Y también se puede instalar diferentes paquetes de efectos para tener una experiencia mejor en la edición de video y generar algo más profesional
Creo que falta mejorar un poco en ciertos efectos que ofrece el programa, como su rastrerización, estabilización de video, entre otros. Ya que hay otros programas que lo tienen mejor.

I used it very often in the past when I started editing videos. Very simple to use, not complicated compared to the competition, and to start editing videos it is perfect. Even today I use it for editing and audio production, preferring it to other software
it is not as professional as other software, but to start with it has everything you need, in fact at the beginning it is a better software than others

Very happy, however support is a bit lacking when you have questions.
Vegas offers so many options and features to rival higher end production suites. It includes color grading and advanced chroma ability. 4k video and 360 video also.
The interface is so crowded on smaller screens. You really need a 24 inch or higher screen to work well with it, which makes it difficult on laptops.

-Easy to use -User friendly -Backs up projects with no questions -Has many specials effects to use -Has many different formats to export
-Expensive -Can crash -Can take a while to render -So much stuff it can be hard to pick what to use

Not bad as a start
I used it back in the days when I started learning video editing. I created few gaming videos that my friends liked a lot. So, I liked how it is possible to create high quality, creative, gaming videos.
Well, I hated so much the too many hours I had to spend to learn it... maybe the latest updates made it easier, but It was kinda hard to advance.

Let's start with I am not a great video editor, in reality I know very little. And when I tried I was surprised on how fast I learned it and understood its most important features in a fast pace. So if you are like me and you do not need a software with more features than you are going to use (Adobe Premiere) go with Sony Vegas and you will be more than happy with it!
I like how easy is to use the timeline and its features with great user interface.
Does not have as many features/is not as powerful as Adobe Premiere

I edit short films and video logs for Youtube. It is definitely one of the best and most complete video editors, lightweight, fast rendering and very intuitive in the whole process.
It's simple to use, intuitive to add effects over the timeline, full detailed audio control and plenty of plug-in options
It could presents many crashes when an effect is included, and may even close the entire program. Delimiting options for types of files to be rendered

Vegas pro me ha ayudado a realizar trabajos de manera profesional, es una buena herramienta para la edición de video
Que es muy práctico, toda la edición que necesito la puedo realizar fácil en el programa, también es de fácil uso, para las personas que no tienen mucha experiencia, es muy intuitivo
La previsualización del video a veces tiene problemas dependiendo la máquina que se utilice

I have had a very positive experience with Vegas Pro. While it is very expensive, I still believe it is the best video editing tool on the market right now.
I absolutely love Vegas Pro, and I always recommend it to my friends over other products like Premier Pro since I like how Vegas Pro feels like I can do everything on it and I don't need a bunch of other platforms to help me do the one job, like I feel with Adobe products.
The price is very expensive for Vegas Pro, so I always try to get it whenever I find it on a steep discount. The initial price offering makes it a little unattractive in my opinion.

Will likely move to a lower cost, less featured software package that offers better hardware acceleration for faster rendering times.
Software has a very user friend interface and alot of features.
Very poor hardware acceleration support. There are editors that cost 1/4 the price and can render the same quality video four times as fast or faster.

It was the first real video editor I started to learn in so I have personal connection to this software. It has pretty good layout and work flow. Also great shortcuts (spacebar for example).
You have modify your setup or your videos would get smudged. Also it is sometimes hard to find correct export settings.

J'ai pu monter des centaines d'heures avec Vegas Pro et c'est un très bon logiciel. Je le recommande vivement.
Un environnement très agréable et facile à prendre en main, un jeu d'effets et d'outils toujours au point et intuitifs.
Quelques fonctionnalités manquent et parfois le logiciel s'avère compliqué pour les nouveaux arrivant.
