For your consideration...

An observation from the Internet... Vegas Pro focuses heavily on new AI-driven tools, updated interfaces, and codec support in its major releases (like 21, 22, 23), sometimes at the expense of comprehensive bug fixes or significant feature additions in intermediate versions. While newer versions introduce compelling innovations, the development strategy often prioritizes rolling out cutting-edge functionality over meticulously polishing existing bugs in each iteration.  Asking as a neutral user not intending to bash anyone or anything.

This take has no connection to reality for VEGAS.

Look at the release history. You'll see little about AI tools and a lot about fixes for stability and performance. 23 saw the release of version 1.0 of a new video engine. VP 20 overhauled the audio engine. These things are at the core of the software. Just that isn't enough to entice people to buy so there are also limited new features released with each version.

Probably written by AI. There is much misleading rubbish out there nowadays.

Obviously, the AI that wrote it never read any of the release notes with each new build/version.

Yes, I'm sure this was an AI compilation of user's complaints on the Internet... much like the comments and complaints on this very forum. As a user, I am happy with the good, and tolerate the not so good about Vegas Pro. I assume that's how most users feel.

Reyfox wrote on 12/17/2025, 1:07 PM

Rarely do you read of someone who is happy with the software. So, what would be the most info for "AI"? Complaints. And I am sure that the post was AI written. Go to any user forum and what you will read a lot about is the issues people are having. That's with any software. People looking for help posting.

Here you go.... some more AI reviews..... Davinci Resolve:

User Sentiments on DaVinci Resolve

General Impressions

DaVinci Resolve is widely regarded as a powerful editing tool. Many users appreciate its capabilities, especially for color grading and complex editing tasks. However, the software is also known for its instability, leading to mixed feelings among users.

Common Issues and Bugs

Users frequently report encountering various bugs that disrupt their workflow. Some of the notable issues include:

Render Glitches: Users experience random glitches in rendered footage, particularly with compressed formats like H264 and H265.

Silent Playback: Audio playback channels can change unexpectedly, causing frustration during editing sessions.

Vanishing Scopes: Scopes need to be reset for each new project, which can be tedious.

AI Audio Mix Problems: The AI audio remixer has issues, such as adding unwanted fades and failing to handle dialogue properly.

User Experience

While many users find DaVinci Resolve to be feature-rich and capable, the frequent crashes and bugs can lead to significant frustration. Users often feel that the software's reliance on GPU processing makes it more prone to crashes, especially if their hardware isn't optimized. This has led to a perception that, despite its strengths, DaVinci Resolve can be challenging to use reliably.

So, there you go..... more AI reviews. And the same can be written about Premiere Pro, Media Composer and other software. I just checked. And they too are the big "dogs" with Avid's Media Composer a "Hollywood" staple in editing.

My problem with the original AI summary is not that it's a compilation of users' opinions but that it is presented as factual.
"Vegas Pro focuses" "The development strategy" vs "Users speculate that" or "Users report".

Some people think that AI writing has authority because it has access to many sources but really- garbage in, garbage out.
