    I loved how I polished my videos with this software

    Date: Sep 18 2022

    Summary: I use it for the videos I make about my company on YouTube to achieve better production and quality in my videos, since this tool is very complete for video editing and not a simple editor that adds effects and cuts between videos. I have also improved with Instagram posts when I can upload content in a professional way regarding the company such as videos presenting a property, such as its surroundings, rooms, bathrooms, living room and kitchen space, etc. The public is attracted to this type of content and I have obtained good results when I edit the videos in Vegas Pro. It was comfortable for me to be able to create videos within this software since it is very user-friendly and is familiar to me from other editors such as Final Cut or Adobe Premier, so I didn't get lost in learning how to use Vegas pro as it was almost the same design of its interface with its time bar below and its functions grouped in an orderly way. Thanks to its ease and handling of video production, I don't have to stress waiting for someone to do the post-production work for me and that there will be errors when it comes to missing something since I can do it myself and verify it.

    Positive: Âş It is a very good function to add the videos in the time bar with just drag and drop without requiring the typical import processes where I have to locate the file manually and after a lot of clicks only have the image, audio or video in the media panel to then know where to put it on the time bar. I would rather just put my media files in a special folder and just drag and drop to the time bar and it saves me a lot of work and time making my videos.

    Âş It accepts all types of multimedia files that is very good for me because I usually use original audio and video files. I also use multiple formats with the images and it helps me not to have to convert anything since Vegas pro itself recognizes all these file types. It also has all the video codecs to be able to play them smoothly without the need to install third-party programs that slow down the process of creating videos for my company's different social media.

    Âş I can have a preview with the quality that I want to be able to work comfortably and thus be able to know how my videos are turning out. I have worked with Vegas Pro with different computers of different powers and being able to choose the quality of the preview has allowed me to work efficiently depending on the computer in which I am creating the video, this in order not to overload the resources I have and being able to preview my video while I'm in the process of editing or creating.

    Âş Its interface is very customizable, so it can be adapted to the user's taste, allowing him to work more comfortably by being able to decide where to put the elements or functions of this software and thus have total control when editing videos. At this moment I have two monitors on my computer and this helped me a lot since by default the functions were not well ordered within the software and there were also functions that I did not use so I took the task of grouping them and ordering them in a way that I feel more comfortable finding everything easier and in the place I want.

    Negative: Âş Rendering is much slower than other video editors. I have tried with Final Cut and I have done tests with the same quality and same files as videos and images, without any type of effect and it has seemed to me that it takes time for Vegas Pro to render the video even though you have an excellent computer. This worries me because if I want to produce a video quickly and send it to all my social networks and I can't because of the time it takes to render the final video to be able to post it, making this a big setback for my company.

    Âş It does not have a good performance when I am using it in Mac OS since when I make the cuts between videos or add some sound, or anything I want to do for the creation of my video, it becomes slow in anything I do . Also in the rendering it is much slower in Mac OS than in Windows, this gives a lot to think about because they are not so open to optimization in general but they only focus more in Windows on making everything work well

    Âş It has few effects so I have to download them from the internet from some creator, buy them or if it is possible to create them myself, this is annoying because I am very limited in the creation of the videos since everything is practically the same and it does not have Lots of variety for video editing. I would like them to be more serious about this to have more creativity and diversity when it comes to creating videos with good effects and that they want to be more professional without being so repetitive.

    Âş The audio editing is very limited and also complicated, being more than anything like adding effects plugin instead of being a large panel with multiple functions like the classic professional audio editors. I would prefer that everything be organized as I am mentioning since it is easier and more practical when modifying audio professionally without requiring the use of external software to carry out this work.

    Âş There is a small bug that bothers me when rendering. If I am editing a video and I have it ready to render, it does it almost immediately, but when I go to see the final video, only a small part is rendered and to solve this I have to save my project, close it, reopen it, do not touch anything and just start rendering for this to work properly. It's a bit annoying because I have to close everything and wait for the whole project to load to only render when I had already had the software open.

    A complete way to edit videos from your computer.

    Date: Feb 20 2023

    Summary: Sony Vegas has proven to be highly effective for our entire company, allowing us to create all kinds of Videos, we have been able to create Presentation Videos as well as I have been able to create and edit Videos for all our social networks, when creating informative and promotional material. very good quality and followers, this platform allowed us to create a large number of quite striking Videos for all the audience we have within social networks such as Facebook and Instagram, adding Videos with specific material and very important informative material for our followers. I was really delighted with the complete way in which I was able to avoid a large number of Videos with the help of this platform, I consider that it has been a fairly complex platform to use but that it has provided quite striking results for our company, we have been able to edit videos of quality superior to 4K, as well as we have also been able to animations that play my specific moments of our Videos. The audience of all the social networks there was more delighted with the Videos that we have been able to capture a large audience compared to previous months where we did not use Sony Vegas.

    Positive: Sony Vegas is a platform that has covered all my needs in the field of Video design, what most positively caught my attention about this platform is the wide variety of tools that are available within this platform to have an edition video editing much more complete than any other platform, this platform has functions for editing audio tracks, video editing, video quality editing, allows you to insert various objects and various filters or animations within the video and also allows you to enter combinations of audio tracks, this platform has all the necessary tools so that you can have an extremely complete video edition in the palm of your hand. I also liked that this platform is able to allow me to add special effects to each audio track separately, this is quite satisfying as you can modify a specific audio track to add different effects, plus audio to be played within the same instant. The video editing within this platform has completely fascinated me as I have never used a platform that is so complete with video editing before. In addition, the quality with which this platform is capable of rendering each of the Videos, since it has allowed me to have Videos of very good quality and without any kind of delays in their reproduction or unexpected cuts.

    Negative: The bad thing about this platform is that it is only available for computers, I need to use this platform within my mobile device and currently this is not possible, therefore, I have had to edit all the Videos from my computer and on some occasions I would like to do it from my mobile device to have greater movement within the panel of the platform and greater ease when editing short videos. Another of the negative points, which platform is the self-consumption of all the operating computers that you are using, heavy for any computer, its high consumption depends on the number of objects or Videos that you are inserted into it at a specific moment, since the more views If you enter the platform, it will consume more resources on your computer and will slow it down. Another of the negative aspects that can be found within this platform is that it is not easy to use, despite the fact that it has a large number of tools that allow complete video editing, complete to use, therefore, to use this platform with total ease, and knowing how to use it to link them with the video that you are editing, a lot of learning time, therefore, I do not recommend that this platform be used by a person who does not have experience in video editing.

    Effective platform to have a professional video editing.

    Date: Nov 20 2022

    Summary: VEGAS Pro has performed excellently within my company, this platform has been able to help us create really attractive Videos to use for advertising our company or to capture the attention of our clients. We have also been able to create Videos that we can publish on social networks, the way has really been very effective in designing all kinds of Videos. I have loved a lot of weight had with this editing platform, I consider that it has all the necessary tools to have a very complete video, to be able to modify the background of a video, modify its contrast, apply animations and various things can be done Within this platform, it has really ported very professional tools to have a very complete video editing. I am fully confident that this platform will be able to design a new application for mobile devices, I would love that very much since I can edit various videos without using my computer. It is also very necessary that optimization improvements are implemented within the video rendering, this would help the rendering process take a little less time and have less consumption.

    Positive: VEGAS Pro has been a service that has been present in our company for more than two years, providing important functions to improve video editing every day, the way this platform works helps us to design Videos with very good quality, and with a very good decision, applying various object animation services and many more things that make a video much more professional. The main feature that I liked about this software is the great variety of functions that are available when editing a video, you can insert all kinds of object animations, making use of this animation function is quite simple, since the The program has an artificial intelligence that is capable of detecting objects and their movement, in addition, I have also loved the fact of being able to manage and edit the audio tracks within each video, you can insert various audio tracks within a specific time, moreover, I can combine multiple audio tracks with the help of this platform, it really helps me to completely avoid all video and all audio from it. Another of the main advantages of this platform is that it will provide the client with a panel where they can manage the video quality they want when rendering the video, there are a wide variety of formats and video quality, the user will always be able to Choose the quality you want for rendering.

    Negative: VEGAS Pro It is a very optimal service for video editing, I really have not had any kind of problem when editing Videos within this platform, since I have access to all the editing tools, however, one of the first Negative things I've noticed about this platform is currently you didn't have any kind of mobile app it would be great to be able to edit videos from my mobile even though I don't have great access to advanced editing tools it would be great to be able to edit videos Basically within my mobile phone. In addition, another of the negative things about this platform is its high consumption when rendering a video, whenever I go to render a new video, the rendering process takes a long time, it can even take more than five hours to render this video. In addition, the large consumption that this platform has when rendering a video causes the user to not be able to use the computer while this Rendering process is being carried out, this is a very important negative factor for us, since I would like to continue using my computer while rendering a video.

    It offers advanced and professional functions to develop a much more complete video.

    Date: Oct 17 2022

    Summary: Sony Vegas Pro is a platform that has brought very significant benefits to my entire company. The main reason why he started using this platform is because it offered me many useful tools for video editing, I quickly realized that it was a very beneficial platform for our real estate company, it would help us create quite professional Videos where we could show the properties much more closely and much more precisely. With the help of this platform we have created more than 50 videos for the properties that we offer in our real estate company, I loved the experience obtained with this platform, I consider that it has been really useful for a much more professional and simple video edition, we have inserted everything type of music tracks within each video thanks to this platform, in addition, we have been able to carry out various Camera traditions thanks to Sony Vegas Pro. I am very happy with the results obtained so far, I consider that this platform has been key to having a much more advanced video editing, I will continue using it since I consider it very important to have it implemented in our corporate sector.

    Positive: Sony Vegas Pro is an incredible service to have different tools at hand to help you edit any type of video, no matter what video format you are using, this platform supports more than 20 video formats, so , you can always have a correct edition from your computer. Sony Vegas Pro is one of the most advanced software for video editing that currently exists, this platform allows you to make all kinds of transitions in videos, track objects and much more. Next, I will mention the most outstanding positive things about this platform.

    1.- one of the main things that I like about this platform is the object tracking function, this function is very important to me since it allows me to make a much more professional video edition, on several occasions I have had to use this function to insert some text and that it is able to follow a specific object or that it is able to move during the course of the video. This function is very important and helps you create a much more professional video, with moving objects and moving text much more easily, using this function is very easy, you just have to shade the object you want to use, and the platform will be able to detect the object and perform the corresponding tracking.

    2.- Another of the functions that I like about this platform is that it is capable of combining all kinds of audio tracks, this function is relatively important when you are modifying a video and want to insert new audio tracks, you can use several audio tracks in a specific time frame, for example, you can add up to five audio tracks at the beginning of each video. This function is very important and allows you to modify the audio of the video separately, the audio tracks are very easy to modify and they offer you an individual section in which you can organize them to your style.

    3.- Another feature that I like about this platform is that it is capable of rendering the video in the quality that you want, for example, every time you are about to finish a video, you will have to review the options or settings you have default for the realization, within this configuration section you can modify the video quality you want for the realization, although it is important to note that every time you modify the quality of the video to be rendered, the process may take more or less time to complete the realization, everything depends on the video quality you have chosen.

    4.- For all the features that I like about this platform is the multi-camera function, this function allows you to insert several different scenes depending on the number of cameras you have associated with your computer or the video used. This function is relatively important since it allows you to create several scenes within the video from the recordings that you have obtained in each of the cameras that you have used. This function is impressive, especially when we want to create a much more professional scene, since we can make transitions between the cameras used.

    5.- The last thing that I love about this platform is that it uses artificial intelligence to improve the quality and frame of the video tracks that you use in each of the scenes, this Evanan function is easy to use, just use a simple button, you will be able to improve in an incredible way the quality of some audio track or some video track, in addition, you can also improve the quality of the image that you insert inside each video. It is important to note that using this feature does not require any additional fees, as this feature is well integrated into the payment plan of the Sony Vegas Pro platform.

    Negative: Sony Vegas Pro has many positive features, since as I mentioned previously, the vast majority of tools provided by this platform help you to have a correct video editing, however, during our experience we have also perceived some negative things. Below we will mention the negative things that came up during our experience.

    1.- One of the main problems within this platform is the time it takes to make the video, as I mentioned previously, you can modify the video quality you want when rendering a new video, however, in a quality As basic as 1080p, it takes a long time for the software to render the video Correctly, I have noticed that the rendering process can take up to several hours during a day. It is really necessary that simply a better production system to allow us to obtain the videos in less time. It is important to note that the production time can also increase if you are using a computer that does not have the specific requirements, it must have a good capacity to be able to render the video correctly and in less time.

    2.- Another of the negative things about this platform is regarding the high price of the premium plan, this platform really has many positive features, the vast majority of mergers allow you to have a fairly professional video edition, however , I consider that the prices are relatively high, causing that very few companies can use it and that small companies cannot make use of these great functions. I believe that the Sony vegas pro platform should be much more accessible, with lower prices or that they be able to create more accessible plans for new users.

    3.- The third negative thing about this platform is that it is not available for an edition within the mobile device, this platform is only available for computers with Linux, macOS and Windows operating systems, you cannot install it on your mobile device regardless of the system operating system you are using. It is really necessary to create an application for mobile devices, since in this way it would be much more comfortable to edit videos from my cell phone, in addition, it could avoid some type of video that I have stored in my gallery. I hope that in the future a new application will be created for mobile devices.

    Satisfied with the quality of execution but the consumption of this application has to be lowered.

    Date: Sep 09 2022

    Summary: Sony Vegas is an essential platform if you are looking for a service that helps you to have a much more professional video editing, the finishing of each excellent video, maintaining the quality of the original video and allows you to use different tools to perfect the video you are editing. . I loved the experience I had with this platform, the interface is really quite comfortable to use and it has easy access to each of the sections and tools it offers. I have noticed that there is no kind of app for mobile phones, this app should also be available for iOS and Android mobile phones as it is currently only available for Windows and macOS computers. I really appreciate this platform very much for having behaved in this way, it has allowed me to edit videos for my company for more than a year, I am very satisfied with the results.

    Positive: Sony Vegas is a fairly complete platform when we refer to the tools and functions that it offers, it offers many advanced tools to have a correct video edition. What I like the most about this platform is that you can combine several audio tracks within a video, in this way you can insert several audios simultaneously in a single video, also, you can add different animations and transitions within the video that you are meditating , another of the things that I like is that all the Videos are rendered in an excellent quality, this helps the original video not to lose quality. In addition, it also has many tools and close to different shapes and drawings within the video that you make, it has a very large list of shapes to insert.

    Negative: One of the main negative things about this platform is the time to render it, every time I go to render a video within this platform the process takes much more than two hours, sometimes it happens in the middle of the day to render a video that is already has been completed, this process is quite late and I really don't recommend it if you are looking for a much faster overview. Another of the negative things about this platform is the amount of resources it consumes when rendering a video, I have noticed that on some occasions my computer becomes a bit slow during this reuse, for which I recommend users not use the computer while rendering is done as consumption is very high.

    Fully featured, complex interface

    Date: Aug 10 2021

    Summary: Overall, I am happy that it allows me to do what I want. I just wish it would show me how to do it!

    Positive: This program has so many features it is mind boggling. Right from the get-go it becomes apparent that whatever it is you want to do, you'll be able to do it here.

    Negative: It is not easy to figure out what you want to do. The buttons are so tiny. It takes up a lot of your computer's resources. I've had it crash on me multiple times right at the end of rendering. I would constantly refer to tutorials for even basic things. There is no hand holding whatsoever.

    Negative: Slows down computers, too expensive, makes video previews lag.
