Hi, I have been using Vegas Pro 18 for a long time. I just downloaded Vegas Pro 21 Trial, I can't see much difference for what I do (music videos) they seem to have the same amount Video and Audio effects. Am. I missing something, what should I look for?
The main differences are about stability, performance and codecs support. Of course, there are some AI functionality available since VEGAS Pro 21 > Z Depth, for example overviewed here:https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-21-experience-with-z-depth--142051/
You can see the changes for yourself here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-vegas-post-release-history--104998/
Don't overlook the customizable GL transitions either.

https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-vegas-post-release-history--104998/?page=2#ca815823 @NickHope has collected detailed new features of VP19, 20 and 21, and you should have a look.
There are several new features that I think are more important:
VP19: Scene Detection, Darker fashionable UI, Streamlined Selective Prerender (Shift+M), GL Transitions Package, Velocity curves add optical flow, Real OFX bezier keyframe curves, Blackmagic RAW decoding
VP20: support VST3 format audio plug-in, Zoomable preview window, appendable FX package add & FX paste, Transfer Text properties
VP21: Adjustment event!, Mocha VEGAS, Offset and Wrap plug-in, Z-Depth plug-in, AV1 decoding & rendering
