Here a tutorial how You can emulate Premiere Pro adjustment layer. Use the track "Mute" function to only affect certain length in the timeline

VEGAS Pro dosen't have a adjustment layer. But there is a similar feature in VEGAS Pro.

Adjustment layer can apply fx to all the track below it within the duration of this adjustment layer. In VEGAS Pro, you can realise "apply fx to all the track below", but you can't realise "in the duration of this adjustment layer".

It means that if your project duration is 30s, you can add a 5s adjustment layer in premiere pro which only affect 5s duration.

But you can only add 30s adjustment layer in VEGAS Pro, it have to affect all the 30s duration.

You have to set keyframe to realise "only affect 5s duration", it is far more tiring than Premiere Pro's adjustment layer.

the layer itself can be activate/deactivated with the track mute control. So you don't need to use keyframe at all

@alifftudm95 Yes, what I mean is the track mute envelop keyframes.

And another advantage of Promiere Pro is that you can put multiple adjustment layers in one track, for example, put HSL in 0-3s, put Color Curve in 3-8s, put LUT in 8-15s, put Color Wheel in 15-20s, etc. That's so flexible and convenient.

Because VEGAS' so called adjustment layers is placed in track FX, so it can't do that, unless nest them and cut it to place FX.

In this video, there is no need to put an empty event in the track at all. The feature's nature is father track fx. When the father track fx is put in the right of "composite", they will be applied to all the father & child tracks and events.

This feature is more like nested project than adjustment layer. The father track fx in the right of "composite" regrads all the father & child tracks and events as one video.
