Will we ever have text-Based Editing in Vegas? I saw it for the first time at the Premiere and I just saw that this feature arrived in Filmora, a software that I always thought was inferior to Vegas but it has proven to be very complete nowadays.
I use it all the time, Can be amazingly time efficient editing long videos. Problem is the way Vegas does their subtitles in the cloud rather than locally. Maybe not a problem for them, it's a way they shift people from Perpetual versions to subscription which they prefer. So if they do bring in text based editing it'll probably be as another carrot on a stick to make you change to subscription
What if you supply the text? How does Filmora do it?
I tried that in the beta, but it got in my way, so I uninstalled the beta. Now I don't remember the purpose of it. I asked ChatGPT , but it doesn't know the term. It thinks it's like script.
@Robert Johnston This guy is as bit long winded but if you skip though, he shows how it's used in Resolve, and what it is
@Former user Thanks for the link. Now I remember. Trouble is/was that it won't do me any good. But it's interesting. I can see if there's lots of dialog where it would be useful. Maybe I'll have to practice making long-winded tutorials and see if it helps.

Considering that text subtitles are literally the only AI feature out of several that requires a subscription, I'd say this fear is a bit overhyped. Add to that the new Smartscription plan that gives you the best of both the perpetual license and subscription model, and there's even less reason to worry about it.
@fr0sty I didn't think it would be due to a technical limitation but maybe a preferred business model.
Adobe used to be cloud based, they moved to local AI models and then text based editing, Resolve uses local models too, maybe Vegas is next
We are researching and prototyping this. Hopefully we will have a little more idea of if/when this will be released as a feature in the next few months.
