They are just adjusting luminance using curves and then adding saturation globally. You can do much more than this in the color grading panel!

But why make a video about color grading and only show a short cut? I know Gamers who use Vegas Pro all they want is colors that pop. .

Well, increasing contrast and saturation would do that so I guess a video like this would attract such gamers. It's just a promotion video not a tutorial.

Here's an excellent video on color grading in VEGAS from a few days ago:

YouTube Shorts have a maximum length of 3 minutes so there's only so much that can be covered in 3 minutes - effectively Shorts are snapshots. If you want a more in-depth YT video about color grading in Vegas Pro 23, go to VEGAS Creative Software's YT channel and select the 'Videos' button. There you'll find a VP23 color grading walkthrough:
