Vegas Improvements

I live in Korea and my English is not good, so I used Google Translate.

0. Greetings
I've been using Vegas Pro since I was 13.
When I was in middle school, I posted more than 100 courses on my personal blog.
Naver cafe video production, 10,000 subscribers game channel operation, etc.
Video editing is my passion.
And Vegas Pro is a partner that has grown with me for 14 years.

However, I have written this post because I have many regrets compared to my passion.
I've posted a similar suggestion before, but there are a lot of shortcomings
Organize, trim, and re-upload the material.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Subtitle system
There has been no significant change in the 10 years since the Pro Type Titler was created.
It is far behind the current times, and there are many cases where subtitle work is done outside.
The closed captioning feature in Vegas needs to be completely reversed.

1-1. font scroll
It is very inconvenient to choose a font in Vegas.
There are too many fonts that are omitted when you scroll down with the mouse wheel
You need to make detailed adjustments by clicking + dragging the scroll bar.
Because this method is too tedious
I wish it could be fine-tuned with the mouse wheel.

1-2. view font
In Photoshop or Excel, the shape of the font is shown in advance.
However, in Vegas, the same font is applied, so it is difficult to choose the font you want.

1-3. Background of Prototype Titler
This feature, so-called 'responsive subtitles' in Korea, lacks a lot.
There is not enough space between the text and the background, and the upper space feels narrow.
I would like to be able to adjust the margins of text and background.

1-4. thin border
The borders of the Pro Type Titler are too thin.
There is a way to apply it multiple times, but it seems to consume too much resources.
I would like the max to be a little higher.

1-5. Bad UI Design
Even a simple font change requires multiple taps in Vegas.
This waste of travel routes leads to inefficient work.
Please change the UI like Photoshop or Vegas image.

1-6. falling interactivity
I use an addon called Vegasaur for the efficiency of my work.
Among them, I often use the function to load subtitle files such as txt and srt.
Works well with legacy text, title & text
It doesn't work at all with the Protype Titler.

It also requires conversion between each subtitle function.
It may be difficult to convert the prototype titler to legacy text.
I think it's possible to turn legacy text into prototypes.
Please help shorten the subtitle editing time.

1-7. color palette
I am a user who is more comfortable with the Photoshop UI-based color palette.
The color palette of the prototype is uncomfortable.

Also, I want to use HSV instead of RGB as the default setting, but I have the inconvenience of clicking every time.

I wish I could change the default in option -> preferences etc.

1-8. We demand a subtitle system with a new identity
Legacy text: simple and lightweight
Title & Text: Animation
Pro-Type Titler: Enhanced design and editable layer (?) function for multiple subtitles

I think there will be many errors when changing existing functions.
It would be good to release a new subtitle function that comprehensively solves the above problems.

2. Preset function
This is a suggestion for the preset feature in Vegas.

2-1. Weak search function
It comes up to version 18 and has a favorites function, but there are many shortcomings.
You can collect frequently used functions in one place, but it is impossible to categorize them in detail.
I think this is an area where the likes and dislikes of users differ.

In version 17, if you enter a search term in Video FX, Transiton's search plug-ins,
Not only the FX name but also the preset values ​​saved by the user are searched.
This part has disadvantages such as taking the first search time when using many plug-ins.
By using this, you can categorize your favorites in a granular way.

Let me explain it a little bit easier.
I save presets in Video FX using the initials of my nickname, gg.
GG: Most frequently used functions (22)
GEFF : Various special effects (39 pieces)
GFT : Filters, color gradings (31)
GTR: Transitions (16)

If you set a keyword according to the purpose and save a preset for each effect,
By entering keywords in the search box, you could simply categorize the effects by use.
However, after version 18, only the name of the effect is included in the search target.
Preset names are excluded, which is rather inconvenient.

However, if you register more than 100 favorites,
It will be difficult to see at a glance and the meaning of classification will be lost.

Because of this problem, I don't feel the need to update from the current version 17.

There are many other people who use this method besides me.
I think it will be inconvenient for advanced users who have purchased a lot of plugins.

Problem: The current favorites function is integrated in one place, so there is a lack of categorization.
Solution 1: Solution 1: Make searchable as before in option -> preferences
Solution 2: Create Favorites 1,2,3,4,5, etc. so that you can categorize them.

2-2. Preset Sort
When you save presets in Video FX, they are sorted by name.
However, if you save presets in Media Generator, they will be sorted in order of registration.

Preset names are easy to recognize
When saving Red Text 1~5, Yellow Text 1~5
If you save a new Red 6 preset,
Red Text 1~5, Yellow Text 1~5, Red 6
They are stored in this array.

The more subtitle presets you create, the more cluttered it becomes and the harder it is to categorize.
I have the know-how to solve this problem
I delete all the presets at regular intervals and save them one by one in order.
But it is very cumbersome.

Please allow the selection of the saved preset sorting method or unify them in name order.

3. sfk file
This is a problem I have constantly felt while using Vegas.
When you load a file with sound, an sfk file is created.
If you disable the sfk from being created, the wave shape will not be visible in Vegas.

I don't want the source folder to get messy.

It would be nice if it was created in the specified path rather than the source path.

4. Media Generator Shortcut keys
When you don't want to zoom in by scrolling
In case of event pan/crop or FX window, right-click + shortcut key to open it.
Media Generator doesn't have shortcuts so it takes time.
please add

Thanks for reading this long post
For items 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, we hope that action will be taken quickly.
