I added some titles and when I did, I noticed that there were a lot more options, it seems that Vegas 18 is being fleshed out by some very competent people who appear to actually use the software. I was thinking about the ways I could improve the video, what filters I could add and before long I was just making cuts and pulling parts of the video I didn’t like. Within a few minutes, my mind was where it should have been when using a good piece of software, it was on the work in hand. Scrubbing through the tracks was as simple as sliding the mouse cursor, there was no loading or waiting for the software to catch up. I didn’t’ have to wait for anything, the files were available to edit and play with immediately.

I would often have to sit and wait after an import of multiple files but I added 2 40-minute MP4 files and nothing. Now they are I would not want to go backwards.Īdding media was never a chore but again Vegas 18 handled this without skipping a beat. They weren’t an issue but I had not thought about them until they were gone. Switching a filter or adding text doesn’t appear to cause the little lags that I suffered from previously. The interface is smooth and items open instantly. I will list the improvements later and explain each if I am able but Vegas 18 Pro certainly feels faster. Luckily, I am reasonably familiar with Final Cut and Adobe Premiere Pro too so I am going to mentally compare, however, for the sake of journalistic integrity I want you to know I have my favourite and will unashamedly announce my bias for Vegas from the off.
#Vegas pro 16 reviews upgrade
Having had messages from many of you it does seem as though most non-professionals are on a two- or three-year upgrade cycle with only the most hardcore users upgrading annually. I am very familiar with Vegas 16, however, so it’s a great comparison. Sorry for missing that review, I happened to have a heart attack and die for a while so I cannot compare Vegas 17 here in any way. I’ll start by talking about this years “features”, that is to say, what Magix say they have improved over last years offering. The first thing I feel when I look at the Vegas 18 Pro home screen is a sense of familiarity and of comfort, things are laid out logically and I have always preferred Vegas to its main competitors, namely Adobe Premiere Pro and for our Mac brothers Final Cut.īefore I get the usual comments, Final cut is a competitor, if you use it then you will be happy to pay too much for a computer and then too much to use the software because someone made an ad with a white background that talked about everything except how useful the software is to live with. Well, I have been playing with the Beta and now the full release so let’s see what Vegas 18 Pro has got to say for itself. Magix doesn’t require trumpets and whistle to sell this software, they say the software speaks for itself.
