Hello vegas community! this is my first post in here and im a newbie on this, i used CapCut monthly subscription for a year but i wanted to upgrade the way i edit my videos, and i have to say the keybinds on vegas are kinda hard to learn and i have some questions about vegas, like in capcut there are already a lot of presets for like thansitions, video effects and some other things, expected the same on vegas and nearly saw transitions or effect from like 2014, so im curious, do i have to do all those effects from zero??? i saw plugins section but i dont have anything, and i searched plugins for the 23 version and i found nothing, so is there any video that help people like me???

Welcome to the Vegas Community.

Vegas' YouTube channel has an extensive library of tutorials that hopefully might assist you in becoming acquainted with Vegas Pro - https://www.youtube.com/@VEGASCreativeSoftware/videos

Keybinds (aka keyboard shortcuts) are almost always different product to product so there is always a learning curve there.

Have you downloaded and installed the Vegas' Deep Learning Models (which should have been selectable in the Vegas Pro 23's installer) as this will provide a lot of AI assisted video FX.

... i saw plugins section but i dont have anything, and i searched plugins for the 23 version and i found nothing

Presumably you were looking at audio VST Plugins (there is no equivalent choice for choosing video plugins). This option looks for 3rd party audio VST2 and VST3 plugins - either free or purchased - that you may have installed on your computer.

... do i have to do all those effects from zero???

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Vegas Pro has many native video and audio FX each with many presets.
