i am confused by the product names as i want to upgrade vegas pro18 to 19 but which one is the upgrade path "edit" or "pro".

i was offered "edit" for 199 in the email they sent, but it sounds like the entry level.

a table of some sorts is required explaining the releases and the names and equivalents.

please help

thanks

This link here explains the differences:

Vegas Edit 19 is the fully functioning version of Vegas Pro, just by itself.
If you own an older version of Vegas, you qualify for the upgrade price of $119.
365 versions come with the ability to download Royalty Free Stock Video.

A comparison chart is readily available on Vegas Pro 19's product page:

Basically, Vegas Edit 19 is Vegas Pro 19 the only difference being that it doesn't come with any of the add-ons that come with the other offerings.

Vegas Edit 19 is the equivalent of Vegas Pro Edit 18. The have been some comments on the forum curious as to why 'Pro' has been dropped the Edit version when it is in fact the 'Pro' version. A weird and unintuitive marketing choice IMO.

I do think that marketing's decision was intuitive in the sense of the definition:
rash, unconscious, instinctive.......😩

We've discussed this previously but I cannot locate the thread.

The term "Edit" is confusing and does imply a "cut down" version. At least to me.

Instead of Vegas Edit and Vegas Pro it would be more sensible to use
Vegas Pro
Vegas Pro Plus
