I have only one.
My best feature with VP17 b 321 is that I can use all the sources I can make with my videocams, Gopro's and smartphones I can use alone and in all kind of combinations in whathever project I wish and can output in very high and also lower quality for all my purposes as big modern OLED TV screen, internet, smartphone, all kind of computers screens, laptops a.s.o. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

BEST: Easy, fast drag drop editing

WORST: dirty GPU support

Best: the simplest, most intuitive, fast drag-and-drop editing on the planet

Worst: totally random lockups which need Ctrl-Alt-Del and Task Manager to close

Best : Best UI ever

Bad: Lacking to create/custom made easy drag and drop preset (VEGAS still using outdated preset chain style)

+1.

But also 😁

Best: Trimmer hover scrub & add to timeline.

Worst: performance bottlenecks around thumbnail generation (project media) and timeline composites (transitions, titles, etc.)

Best: The whole is greater than the sum of the parts

Worst: Screen capture is a joke (but the AMD App works great so I am not bitching).

Best: Nesting, I used it before it was cool.

Worst: Video hardware implementation over many versions of the product. This frustration is only topped by my frustration with the software industry as a whole that creates new user interfaces everyday to do the same stuff we've been doing for decades.

Best: Event Pan/Crop and another 500 items, no room to mention.

Worst: Not being able to even get past the opening splash screen, VP17 first release.

Best: UI

Worst: Inherently Unstable Software

Best: Ease of use + rendering options. (I don't enjoy editing on any other NLE like I do in Vegas. Very well laid out and easy to access everything.)

Worst: Buggy releases (I wish Vegas would have an extended beta testing period, so when the new version comes out there isn't a deluge of complaints and frustrations, esp. from those who early adopted.)

Best: GUI - WYSIWYG is the key to the popularity, things are straightforward, if sometimes inelegant.

Worst: GUI (Why? undeveloped to its full potential. It is hair-pullingly frustrating in its stagnation. IOW, they are resting on their "happy accident" laurels, born of Sonic Foundry's audio editor foundations, (not genius designers, as such) that they accidentally are better than every other POS GUI out there, and that is that, they do NOTHING to develop that, other than "hamburger" menus, (oh yeah, Storyboard, jury's out on that one) which are actually more of a PITA than a "advancement." New Color Panel has HORRIFIC interface.

The good routines are good to great, the conception: great.

The bad routines STAY PUT, and it pisses me off, quite frankly.

Best: Scripting.

Worst: The 3rd Partner User Experience. Whilst wanting/wishing the best for us, the Users, by inviting Third Party s/w and hardware - for me nVidia - houses to come to the Party, there's an almost Kremlin-like opaqueness/silence making us, the USERS invisibile to the Internal communications between each of them. MAGIX sits in the middle of this and needs to get a grip on this and bust down the doors allowing us, the USERS, to be part of the Product Development. Last month, and at my own expense, I travelled to IBC19@Amsterdam to visit one of the s/w "Partners" that we all know, and gave them a +2 hour full on User Experience - oh yes.

So True Grazie.... We are out of the loop and the developers, good as they are, don't live in the real editing world, apparently. It's much too theoretical and not "hands on" enough.

@zdogg - And it would benefit ALL of us, Users, Engineers, Marketeers, Sales 3rd Party Houses etc if this was rectified.

… and gave them a +2 hour full on User Experience

I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that. But with my luck, somebody nearby would've had a can of fly spray in use.

And related to that, how many times have Vegas come out with new version of vegas or a revision and within hours users here have detected faults or incompatibilities. Why not invite those users in on the internal beta testing of Release Candidate . I know some people here are a part of it, but there mustn't be enough users.

@Dexcon - Lol! Sorry for the delay in responding, but I had to spend a day delivering World Peace; The Cure for the Common Cold; Global Warming and failing to determine just where I filed my last years Tax Returns. But yes, I’d really liked for you to have been there. Bottom line? It was all good, so much so I’ve been able to keep up the eml corres back now in Blighty. Already two major bugs I’d brought to their attention whilst at their Booth at IBC19 are presently being squashed and future User collaboration will be open for communication.

@Dexcon, I’m guessing, but you DO realise I was only joshing about my Tax Returns? Right?

@ Grazie (no hyperlink appearing today)

First, thanks for reminding me about tax returns – mine must be lodged by the end of this month.

I’m very glad that the time you spent at IBC19 proved to be so productive and will hopefully lead to a much-improved experience for all of us VP users who also call upon certain 3rd party plug-ins (so many of which are already excellent).  Thank you for being so pro-active.

BTW, it wouldn’t seem the cure for the common cold thing has worked 100% - I’ve already started to get one today – sneezes, sniffles etc.

@Dexcon - And, I just cured the Hyperlink!

Best: Ease of use (e.g. instant dissolves)

Worst: Poor timeline performance with AVCHD.

@ Grazie ... sadly, it seems that the Hyperlink cure hasn't rippled through to this post as yet (TIC).

Best: The existence of the scripting interface.

Worst: The failure to update Media Manager to work with Windows 10 beyond version 1511. A problem apparently fairly specific to me, but nevertheless catastrophic for me (link).

@Nick Hope: Is Media Manager even a thing? I thought that was abandoned years ago, since it caused so much grief early on; it certainly did for me, and I mean crashes, which were always attributable to said app. What has been it's progress since, I dunno, ver. 8 or so when it first appeared? What advantages to you gain by it's application? Thanks.
