Download this document for a detailed description of the new features in VEGAS Pro 22.
New Feature list:
- Text-based Editing (full release)
- Improvements and refinements have been made to the Text-based Editing tools based on the feedback we received during the beta release cycle. You can now more efficiently edit your video timeline by performing edits in the text transcript.
- New Multicam Audio Sync
- Synchronizing multicam events based on the audio from the clips the events hold has been completely reworked. You can now select multiple events and quickly synchronize them with options optimized for the type of audio contained in the clips.
- AI Auto Reframe
- This AI-assisted tool automatically reframes your video when the delivery size of your final render does not match the original aspect ratio. For instance, if you have a standard widescreen video and need to deliver it in a square format for Instagram or other channels, this tool shifts focus to the most important object in the video and keeps it centered in the new frame size while other material is cropped out.
- AI DeHaze
- This AI-assisted plug-in analyzes your video for hazy elements like smoke, fog, smog and so on and removes those elements in order to create a more crisp, clearer image of your main video element.
- AI Sharpen
- Driven by AI, the AI Sharpen tool analyzes the edges of objects in your video and enhances them to give the image a crisper, clearer lock. The enhancement can be used to improve your video’s clarity or in many cases as a special effect to give your video an unnaturally crisp look.
- AI Smoothen
- You can use this AI-driven tool to soften small details in your video while preserving sharp edges. This can result in a cleaner, more stylized look where fine details are smoothed out, but edges remain clear. You can use a small amount to give your video a subtly softer appearance, or a large amount to create more of a special effect on your video.
- Beat Detection
- The Beat Detection tool analyzes a music file (or music in a video file) and marks highlights, syncopated hits, drum rolls or any “interesting” events in the low-mid and low-end of the audio frequency range. The markers serve as snap objects, so when you add the file to your timeline you can easily edit your video to the musical beats.
- Tempo Detection
- The Tempo Detection tool analyzes a piece of music (or the music in a video file) to determine the tempo of the piece and automatically sets your project properties to match the detected tempo. This makes editing the project easy, as you can now set your timeline ruler to measures and beats and use the grid as orientation and snap points for seamless cuts and edits in time with the music.
- Timeline Selection improvements
- The timeline selection techniques have been refined to make selecting events even easier. An intuitive left-click on an empty timeline space now enables you to start a selection rectangle which you can modify in order to select whichever events you want
- New Welcome Screen
- The Welcome screen has been completely redesigned to make it even more useful in helping you start your editing session. Three tabs give you quick access to new-project setup, previous projects, and materials to help you use VEGAS more effectively.
- Set the project tempo
- New menu options make it easy to set your project tempo. With these you can easily open the project audio properties and enter the desired tempo. When you then set your timeline ruler bar to Measures and Beats, the ruler will accurately reflect the project tempo. When you match the project tempo to the tempo of the music in your timeline, you can easily use the ruler to edit to precise measures and beats of the music.
- Explorer window redesign
- The Explorer window has been reimagined and newly designed to provide a more efficient user experience. It’s now easier to navigate to your media files, preview them, and organize your view.
