Dear Community,

We are excited to announce the fifth update (build 424) of VEGAS Pro 16. This update should be installed through the auto update feature.

Feel free to start your own discussions here on the forums.

New Features

  • Variable Frame Rate files are now identified as VFR in Media properties, the Explorer window summary information, the Project Media window Details view, and the Project Media window media summary information
  • In cases where the user attempts to run the Copy Motion Track to PinP script without first applying the Picture-in-Picture plug-in to the target event, a dialog box provides instructions on how to properly make the feature work
  • A preference now enables you to choose between prioritizing audio/video synchronization or optimal file preview when working with Variable Frame Rate video media
  • Added logic to revert the video stabilization plug-in to Fast mode in certain rare cases where we can detect that it will return superior results over Accurate mode
  • You can now enter a value into the Smoothing text box on the Video Stabilization plug-in to achieve smoothing values far greater than 10
  • Support for HEVC 10-bit BT.2020 and BT.709 files
  • A new preference enables the user to disable auto detection for 360° files

  • VEGAS can properly read 360° files that have been rendered from VEGAS with file size over 4GB
  • Files saved from Instagram live are now more efficiently handled with better synchronization

  • An animation problem with the Color Curves plug-in has been resolved
  • The Pixel aspect ratio drop-down list once again works properly for the MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4 format when rendering

  • HDR file rendered from VEGAS Pro now play much more efficiently when added back to another VEGAS Pro timeline
  • Reordering generated media events in the storyboard is now properly handled on the timeline
  • Reordering media generator thumbnails in the Main Timeline storyboard no longer leads to a crash
  • Video stabilization now works properly with 4K MP4 AVC footage from the DJI Mavic Pro drone
  • Reordering generated media in the storyboard no longer causes the associated timeline events to disappear

  • Applying video stabilization to a still-image file no longer affects the application negatively
  • Animating still images with pre Event Pan/Crop video effects applied to them now operates with expected stability
  • All fonts are now properly recognized by the Text and Titles media generator
  • Projects are no longer set to 360 projects if you cancel out of the Project Properties dialog box after selecting the 360 Output checkbox
