Hi!
Can we use Vegas Pro 18 on a Macbook Pro? If not, is an Apple Compatible version on the cards?
There's a long history of this question on the forum - try using the search function re Mac. But the answer is:

... and a response last year from a Vegas employee:

It would be wrong of me to say never, but at the moment there are no plans to create a MacOS version of VEGAS Pro. The VEGAS code base is extremely tied to Windows and the effort to do a Mac port would be enormous. As Steve did mention, a port of Sound Forge was done, but this was a complete rewrite of the software from the ground up and to this date is not a full featured as the Windows counterpart. VEGAS is considerably more complex.
The previous owner of VEGAS had considered how to deal with providing a Mac version of VEGAS as well. The result was an entirely new video editing program. Others can debate in regards to how successful that effort was.

I am still exploring the full potential of Vegas Pro 18 on my Windows laptop. However, I find that certain colour grading/correction, especially of a specific part of a scene/person/property can be coloured easily without going through masking in FCP. Will that feature be introduced in Vegas Pro any time soon? It would be a great help to colourists, if that happens.
Best regards

Could you explain what you mean by that or show a screenshot? Are you referring to selectively changing the hue or saturation of a specific color? Color corrector secondary can do that.
You can use 2nd Corrector
