VegasPro exists since 1999, so actually 25 years now, so it must be quite popular...

Do you choose by popularity? Or do you need a tool to solve your tasks? Whatever it is, you will need to learn how to use it.

Yes i do choose based on popularity because learning video editing programs takes a long time. So you want to know that it's going to be around, otherwise you may as well start learning something else.

When choosing means also buying and not using a pirated (Sony) Vegas version (which seems to be popular for ages under game capture video editors), Vegaspro will continue probably for a long time...

Yes buying. How do you know it will continue for a long time? Because it's hard to gauge how popular it is or how profitable it is.

From popularity only a software developer cannot exist, or do you work for free just because you're popular?

You are asking a question that is impossible to answer. Perhaps consult a fortune-teller who has a crystal ball that can reliably predict the future.
In any event, no-one on the forum (who are Vegas Pro users, not Vegas/MAGIX owners) could possibly know what the future holds for Vegas Pro or its customer-base - and any business owner who came on to a forum (any forum for any product whatsoever) and stated that their leading product had a specific limited lifespan of x number of years would be committing corporate self-destruction.
So you want to know that it's going to be around, otherwise you may as well start learning something else.
And then you'd have to undertake a similar questionnaire of that 'something else' product to make sure that its going to be around and popular for 10 years or whatever.

No. He is a professional editor, so popularity is not his property. He has a high entry threshold, as in any professional activity. A lot of professionals work in "unpopular" editors because they can do their job professionally there.
Judging by your question, you are not one of them.🙂

You are misrepresenting the meaning of my response. I wrote that comment in response to your question:

You asked a question that required a prediction of the future - and such a prediction is impossible to answer.

It's not difficult to determine if a product will be financial viable in the future. Companies do that all the time.

Yes, probably for the upcoming year, but for the next decennia...?

A user forum is the last place to undertake a corporate financial viability assessment. If it is so easy to assess financial viability, please use all those corporate resources you obviously have at hand to undertake your own research - or contact MAGIX management to seek guidance directly from the company about your concerns.

I don't have all the necessary information about the product to make such predictions, hence my original question.

I am reopening the thread just for this one comment...
I cannot really give you any public assessment from the company, but I can tell you that the VEGAS team is very much to primary focus at Magix right now. The engineers we currently have are quite good and we have not had a single person quit this team for a long time. Software engineers with these skills often could easily leave if they did not feel confident in the long-term viability of our product or felt that they would be better off somewhere else for their career. The engineers feel confident in the product so hopefully that should give our customers some confidence as well.
