Upgrade from Vegas 11 to 13?

John222 wrote on 8/17/2015, 9:03 PM
Vegas 11 works perfectly fine for me with Windows 10. Is there really any benefit to upgrading to 13? Any must have features? I currently use Mocha Pro and Fusion for most of my tracking and special effects. It would be nice if Vegas 13 would export and import from these packages, but it does not. At least not without BCC, which I cannot afford. Cutting to the chase, I have a little extra money in my pocket and I'm either upgrading to Vegas 13 or upgrading to the soon to be released Mocha Pro 5. I believe Mocha Pro 5 will be enhancing it's importing and exporting features with Fusion.

Have a look at version 13's features. If there's nothing there that seems vital and you're having no issues with version 11, I wouldn't feel the need to upgrade.

Chief advantages of version 13 are the ability to handle a wider range of formats (including 4k) , project archiving and collaboration mode.

Actually, also have a look at new features in V12. I skipped V11 from V10, upgraded to 12 and then 13. The reason for 13--much greater stability. Crashes these days are very rare--unlike V12 which seemed to occur daily on my system. Another thing to consider is that it's been well over a year since the last new version--April 2013. If there is a V14, it may well be released in in the fall--in past times October. So if you're happy with V11, I'd hang in there at least for a couple of months to see if a new version come out.

You don't need VP13 for that, Vegasaur has such a feature too.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I'll give that a try in Vegasaur and wait to see if Vegas 14 brings anything worthwhile.
