Mine's a simple request. Sort out the issue where the refresh button doesn't work anywhere in the 'Favorites' folder tree. I use this tree often and it's very frustrating to have to close the Explorer tab down, then reopen it so that the tree refreshes. All the other folder trees refresh Ok, it's just the Favorites tree that doesn't.

@Jack S
Thanks for the heads-up - I can confirm.
Very annoying.

The new PR 2020 update have audio assets. I remember the old days some simple editing software I used offer prebuilt audio assets in the program. Would be cool if VEGAS have audio assets premade in the software too like swoosh SFX, ambiences, simple music loop etc.

@alifftudm95 Something like Magix Producer Planet? https://www.producerplanet.com/us/audio/

Here's my wishlist for Vegas tweaks and improvements:

1. Would like to have an option for right click on subtitle markers then "Select All To End" (so can move or delete en masse)

2. Would like project templates eg .vet file so as soon as you press Save, it prompts for a filename; that way I'd stop accidentally overwriting my own templates by forgetting to rename them first thing. Like a Word template.

3. Proper compound clips within the same project instead of the nested multiple timelines which always feel a bit clunky. Many times I want to turn a bunch of clips into a single item and the nested timelines method leading to multiple .veg files is not great. Avid MC, FCP and Resolve do this much better and quicker.

4. Multiple tabbed timelines within a single project, which can either be unrelated edits (for example to use as a scratchpad while working) or the expanded form of a compound clip from another timeline.

5. A button to collapse (hide) all audio tracks, leaving only video tracks present; and vice versa (so when you're concentrating on the audio edit for example, you don't have to individually minimise tracks etc). Clicking again should restore them to their prior sizes.

6. A way to undo accidentally double-clicking on the vertical timeline scrollbar that reduces all the tracks to minimum size (and thus have each track return to the size they were immediately before)

7. Ctrl key should also work as "small increments" modifier for fader controls on tracks and FX, not just on envelopes. In fact, it should work on everything...

8. I'd REALLY like Explorer to switch to the Project's folder on the drive when you open a project.

9. It would be really great if effects listed before the pan/crop window in the effects chain weren't affected by the "apply to FX" setting (ie make it only apply to effects after the pan/crop in the chain, which would be logical to me anyway). That way I could for example do an overall colour correction on the entire image at the start but still then do other tweaks with a mask.

10. I really wish the default file type selected when you use File...Open was "Vegas Project Files (.veg)" instead of All Files as I never open anything other than project files using File...Open.

11. It would be very helpful if Vegas could remember the preferred order of the columns in the Project Media and Explorer windows; I like to have Last Modified as the second column and it keeps reverting to fourth or fifth so I have to scroll across to it.

Cheers

VEGAS Beziere Mask need to be polished more. I feel its very hard to go around, too much tab to show/hide. I came out with this UI design

@alifftudm95 Something like Magix Producer Planet? https://www.producerplanet.com/us/audio/

Yea, but the sound is stored directly inside the software instead, maybe there is a tab for Audio library

 

VEGAS Beziere Mask need to be polished more. I feel its very hard to go around, too much tab to show/hide. I came out with this UI design

 

We extracted the Motion Tracking panel from Bezier Masking for different reasons in VP18. Now the Motion Tracking panel detects automatically the Bezier mask (you will find it in the drop down box on top as "Bezier 1.1").

Yes, correct. But now I can't do this FX. Because i can't transferred the beziere mask data to PiP like in VP17

rev. 04/12/20 : I modified points 4 and 11 and added points 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 in my features requests list.

rev. 29/12/20 : I added points 27 and 28

1. Drag video-event without his sound

It would be good if, when dragging with the right mouse a video event from the timeline to another track together with pressing CTRL key, we could copy a video event with all the associated effects without choosing the sound by making a selection in a small context menu.

 

2. Zoom in and out in preview window

Zoom in and out the preview-screen without changing the entire Vegas configuration, as happens with many other video editors.

 

3. Turn Scrub on/off

Add a button in the Project Media list to turn the Project Media Hover Scrub on or off.

 

4. Marker numbering

Increase the marker numbering in the timeline to 999. Point 4 was resolved in Vegas Pro 18 😀

 

5. Selectively Paste Event Attributes

Add to "Selectively Paste Event Attributes" the transition Fade-In Offset and Fade-Out Offset also at events without overlap.

 

6. Selectively Paste Event Attributes

Add to "Selectively Paste Event Attributes" the Video event Mask settings

 

7. Enlarge the Fade In and Out Snap button by the events in the timeline

Enlarge the Fade In and Out Snap button as it becomes invisible and not to be snapped when the Velocity envelope is at 1000%.

Enlarge also where necessary other buttons in the timeline

 

8. Update old video DX-effects to OFX-effects

Update all old video DX-effects to newer OFX-plugins. These DX effects are not always compatible with some third parties applications.

 

9. Importing

Import .eps or .svg or files as a Project media

 

10. Video Event Mask

The ability to import files into .png and .eps or .svg in the Pan/Crop>Mask window as well as letters and symbols which can be used as mask.

 

11. Create Mask with brush

Is it not possible to integrate in Vegas Pro to make a mask with Pan/Crop>Mask also with a brush where the size, opacity and softness are adjustable? This would give Vegas Pro so many more possibilities. As a result, the mask function could also be to masking parts (1) and can used be used a bit as a paint tool (2) and gives us many more possibilities to apply a smooth effect to videos with the mask tool!

It should still be possible to create a Brush tool in the Pan/Crop>Mask tool, by drawing a free hand line that then automatically draws a sequence of circles, giving us a smooth line.

The diameter of the circle gives the brush thickness.

The opacity of the circle gives the brush opacity.

The Feather of the circle gives the brush softness.

 

12. Add New Empty Event button

In the Customize Timeline Toolbar, add button "New Empty Event". The "New Empty Event" button is used in all kinds of applications, whether as an aid such as an intermediate piece or as a helping marker, or in plugins for creating a text animation or a complete composition in a separate video editor.

 

13. I found some improvements to be made in ProType Titler :

- Highlight the ProType Titler track when selecting a text in the preview

- Synchronize the ProType Titler cursor positions on the Vegas Pro main timeline

- Quantize to Frames (snap cursor to frame positions)

- Select, Copy and Paste the ProType Titler keyframes

- The ability to mutually change the position of the ProType Titler tracks

- Change an element anchor point by entering its positions manually separately from its offset position and have the ability to animate the anchor point

- The ability to animate a path

- Include presets for the path as circle, square, rectangle, triangle, star, ...

- Improvement the path bezier handles (move handles separately to create sharp corners easier)

- Rotate characters, words, lines and a whole text around his x-axis and his y-axis

 

14. Snapping to Mask grid

When creating a mask with Pan/Crop>Mask, I can't use the snapping points when the magnet is clicked on!

First the snapping points are hidden by my image! Only the points outside my mask screen are visible!

Wouldn't it be better to make the snap points visible within the mask screen?

Secondly I have to draw a random mask outside the mask screen, then I must move point by point from the random mask to the snapping points, which are now attracted to the snapping points (magnet is clicked on). So I can make a specific mask shape.

Isn't it possible to immediately create a mask attracted to the snapping points?

 

15. Change the scaling midpoint

It is not possible to provide in a next version to randomly change the scaling midpoint in Pan/Crop, as happens with the rotation midpoint?

 

16. More dockable windows

Is It not possible to provide in a next version more than 4 remembered dockable windows as in previous versions?

 

17. Sub-compositions

I use many small .veg projects that I insert into my timeline as a nested project in my main project.

This can include anything from a simple collection of different objects or to create a complete animation with text and images.

I do this to work more easily and to keep my main project in the timeline clear.

Wouldn't it be possible to create a sub-composition-event in a main project without creating a new .veg file (nested project)?

For example: In the timeline > right click > From the menu Insert New sub-composition-event > If necessary, adjust the length of this sub-composition-event as with other video-events > Double click on this sub-composition-event to open a completely new timeline and create a new composition with his own tracks with video's, text, audio etc > Closes when you're done and go back to the main project where you only see the sub-composition-event that can be adapted as with the other video-events and where back effects can be added.

The whole project together with the various sub-compositions are written off in the same project.veg file.

 

18. Organize the Project Media List

I try to sort my entire list of used images, different categories of videos, sounds, texts, graphic elements and so on, which I use in a project. In Vegas pro there are a lot of ways to do this. But I'm looking for a way where I can divide an entire list (1) of items into different sub-folders (2), and once they've been dragged into a particular sub-folder (2) which I made and gave a name, then they must disappear from the entire list (1) with items. It's kind of a move of items. If all items are divided into sub-folders (2), the entire list (1) must be empty. And If I still use new media in this project, all these items will automatically appear again in the entire list (1), I can immediately see these in the entire list (1) and can quickly place it in a particular sub-folder (2).

A simple solution for this : If I could have added several custom sub-folders in the Project Media > Media By Type, I could have placed all my media in a specific sub-folder. Now only Audio, Video and Stills sub-folders are available.

 

19. Copy/Paste media from Windows File Explorer

I would be good if we could copy files from a Windows File Explorer immediately and fit into the Vegas Pro timeline.

Drag and drop from Windows File Explorer work well. However, to have fewer different windows over each other, copy/paste a media file from Windows File Explorer and past it in the timeline would make this task sometimes easier.

 

20. Mute/Unmute audio button in Trimmer

Sometimes sounds in movies become annoying after repeatedly playing a movie to find the right part. Therefore, an on/off button is useful to have at hand.

 

21. Add new Video Event Button

Add new Video Event Button: Mute video and/or audio

 

22. Modify color of Track Motion or Parent Motion

When placing effects in a Track, the symbol color changes (white to green). When I use the Track Motion or Parent Motion, the symbol does not change of color!

Is it not possible to change the symbol even when using the Track Motion or the Parent Motion? This is useful because we can immediately see how an event in a track has been modified by an effect or with Track Motion or with Parent Motion.

 

23. Copy/Paste in the Pan/Crop>Mask

It is very unfortunate that in Pan/Crop>Mask Tool it is not possible to Copy and Paste made figures, circles and squares to another mask.

 

24. Show Mask Centerpoint

Creating elements or animated elements would be much easier when the center point of the maskscreen is always visible.

This together with feature 10, 11, 14 and 23 gives Vegas Pro a full-fledged mask editor.

 

25. Copy a track

We can duplicate a track in Vegas Pro in the same project. Wouldn't it be possible to copy a track that can be placed in another project with all its settings included (FX, Track Motion, Parent Motion, Compositing Mode ...)?
Last time I had a problem in Vegas Pro. I couldn't use my right arrow key anymore. 
(See Vegas Community 11/30/2020 Move cursor to right (right arrow) stop working after ...)
The only way I had was to open a new project, recreate all the tracks and then copy everything from one project to the new project. For this reason I use the Track-FX, Track Motion a little as possible!
It would have been much easier had I been able to copy a track with all his events from one project to the new project! Ok, this was exceptional. But copying an entire track from one project to another is also very useful.

 

26. increase video playback speed

Currently we can obtain the maximum video playback speed by combining the Playback Rate (4x) and the Velocity Envelope (10x). This gives a total of a maximum playback speed of 4x10=40 times.

If it is not possible to increase Playback Rate to 10x. In combination with increasing the Velocity Envelope we will get a total acceleration of 10x10=100 times.

This gives more room to play with the video speed in new compositions.

 

27. Lock Tracks

The would be very safe when we can lock tracks separately by turning a button on or off the track. Or by choosing in the track context menu. For long projects, events are sometimes moved or removed by movements without wanting. A lock of the track would hinder this.

 

28. Cusomize Plug-In Chooser

When I press the Event-FX button on a particular event in a track, I get the entire list of Plug-ins that are available in the Plug-In Chooser. I only see the whole list of Plug-Ins in the FX-folder.

Isn't it possible to organize these plugins myself into new folders without these Plug-Ins disappearing from VideoFX tab?

I'd like to see some better support for still images, especially to support HDR workflows

• Proper support for 16-bit PNG and TIFF files (output from Photoshop, etc.)
• Support for HEIF formats (including high-bit and Canon and Apple variants)
• Reading of photo ICC metadata to automatically call up the proper color space within HDR modes. Photos with any ICC metadata shouldn't come into HDR projects with no color space set
• Add color space options for other common photo formats besides sRGB: AdobeRGB (1998), ProPhotoRGB

Speaking about HDR, would be great if VEGAS able to create a customizable "IDT" when working in ACES. the current Color Space IDT in properties panel are pretty much default settings from each camera brand manufacture. Unlike resolve, you have Gamma/gamut transformation OFX which you can assign a specific Gamma, Gamut and even the output in 1 FX.

My request are here

https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-should-supports-dolby-atmos--125874/#ca783708

It would be nice if there was an option on the track to lock the track.

Yes I know how to do it ;

Select all events on the track.
Right click on one of the selected events.
Select Switches -> Lock.

But a small padlock on the side of the track would work so much faster

+1 for the padlock on the track header!

+1 for locking a track

Perhaps in conjunction with SoundForge Pro, the ability to perform ADR with Vegas Pro. Given that ADR is a form of AI, this could be a USP for Vegas Pro when it is, as far as I am aware, not a feature of many if any NLEs (happy to be corrected). As an example, the widely regarded RX Advanced doesn't offer ADR thus far.

I like the new preset for Title & Text generator animation. Hoping for the same type of animation in Transitions level/library. Also I wish the animation can be customize.

@alifftudm95  Also I wish the animation can be customize.

The Titles & Text animation presets can be customised in Pro Type Titler.
They can then be saved as a custom preset (they're called 'Collections' in Pro Type Titler).

I'd like to see a built-in benchmarking feature. It would test timeline playback and render performance for AVC and HEVC and give users the option of uploading results to an online database. That would be a great resource to see how different upgrades will likely affect system performance.

The current volunteer-run benchmark is good but limited in that only motivated users are participating with overly powerful hardware (almost all high-end custom builds).
