VEGAS 17 - Suggestions / Feature Requests

Hold the L key to temporarily turn off/on ripple edit - Often I am doing a lot of ripple edits and I want to make a change that will screw up the whole timeline. It would be great to just hold the L key and drag stuff around and then release the L key when done leaving ripple edits still on. CTRL+L is still a great toggle, but temporary on off would save a ton.

Hold the U key to temporarily ungroup clips - Often I want to have audio continue running after I cut the video for a clip. I ungroup the clip and drag the edges where I want. Then I re-group the clip by selecting both audio and video and pressing G so that I can move around the clip. Being able to just hold the U key to make the adjustment and then when done releasing the key leaving the clip grouped would save a ton of clicks.

Media encoder style batch render app as a separate application

Stable release - LOL

@ADinosaur : "Hold the U key to temporarily ungroup clip" Well, that got me thinking MACROS. . .

Using my MACRO Feature on my Contour Shuttle Pro, I've done a One First Press Button To Ungroup and then Same Button to regroup. This allows me time to keep my fingers OFF of both the KB and the CSP!

Thanks for nudging me. 😎

@3POINT - Ah, yes of course . . I over-thought it. 😉

Wait. Are you saying you created a macro to make this work? Can you explain how?

CSP = Contour Shuttle Pro. It has keyboard remapping and macros.

@Kinvermark Thank you.

Vegas Pro 16 is superb. It would be nice, though, if there were some sort of provision for LUT previewing in the application. I utilize VisionColor's LUT packages in conjunction with their LUT plugin in Vegas.

Better interface. Better icons.

Make Samplitude and Samplitude Studio a round tripper in Vegas.

What VEGAS Pro needs most:

  • Better performance
  • Better stability
  • Fixes for long standing problems such as VST glitching and CEA 708 captions
  • 8k support
  • An FX/plug-in manager

What I need most:

  • Improved color correction tools (especially Color Curves)
  • A relational database media manager that will import existing Sony Media Manager media libraries

I would like the young beautiful women to pop out and do the work for me but I don't think we are at that level of technology yet.

I thought that this was already available via Options/Preferences/Audio/Preferred Audio Editor.

However, only one audio editor can be selected via this option which involves selecting the .exe file in Program Files. I would really like to see the Preferred Audio Editor to have a drop down menu which allows for a range of personally selected audio editor options (e.g. Sound Forge SpectraLayers, Samplitude, iZotope options like RX, etc) so you don't have to go and do an .exe file search every time you want to change the audio editor.

I wish there was a way to produce slow motion effects using optical flow motion estimation from within Vegas. Currently we have to use third party solutions, which adds unnecessary costs to Vegas (nowadays even some consumer products come with this option). Also, it would be great if Vegas could not only import LUTs but also save them, as found in Magix Video Pro X and other softwares. I truly believe that both novelties would add value to Vegas, a factor that would please present users and attract new ones.

I agree with what Nick says. Squash all bugs, maintain and improve stability, and improved video and audio noise reduction options. I would like to see the Chroma Keyer improved too. But other than that, just keep it alive and improving in general.

Big yes to everything Nick said. Vegas needs to just work (most of the time for most people)

I'd love to see lens distortion correction and a highlights/shadows correction feature too.

Also, automatically read whether the file is full or video levels. Users shouldn't have to deal with this.

Nest sequences or multiple timelines.I wish that vegas will be more stable and userfriendly.

I forgot: a proper "Exposure" plugin.

 

JJKizak wrote on 12/3/2018, 6:14 AM

Fix the bugs or incorporate an automatic debugger that pops up and tells you what the problem is. For example: "Video card driver not compatible with Vegas", "Third party (specific) not compatible with Vegas".

It would be great if we can zoom in the preview box to see more on specific things we edited like masking, motion tracking placement etc

I suggest:
-Use sequence tabs
-Improve the use of the microprocessor for exporting or rendering video. *

* I have an i7 7820x and a 1230v2 xeon, both do not use 100% of the processor's power.

You can already Nest sequences and have been able to since well before Magix took over. Just drag a .Veg file onto a new timline and it will be nested.

The great thing about Vegas is that it lets you do this and have multiple instances of the program open because you really don't want

Sequence tabs
