Vegas Pro 22 on Windows 11 - your experience

marcinzm wrote on 10/30/2024, 10:00 AM

Hello,

 

I would like to upgrade my Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Do you have some issues with Vegas Pro 22 on Windows 11?

Is there anything in Vegas Pro 22 not working on Windows 11?

Did you have to do some extraordinary things to make it working?

I mean not only Vegas Pro 22 but also other software you use in video post-production.

 

Can you share with me your experience?

 

Regards

Marcin

I am 42. I have been creating videos since 2009 (the date when my first daughter was born in). My first video software was Pinnacle, next one was Sony Vegas 8 (I am not sure if remember it correctly). I am also a developer and wedding movie operator and editor. For example: I have created an Android app which let me control Vegas Pro rendering progress level on Android smartphone. I created it for fun, because I also love programming. I also created my own plugin for Audio To Text feature specified usage from Vegas Pro 19. I created proxy creation plugin which uses multiple GPU threads (maximum 3) to create proxy files for Vegas Pro. I also written many others plugin/softwares which enhance my video editing, also wedding editing.

I have VEGAS Pro 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 all running on Windows 11. All I did was install and activate. All seem to be running fine.

@jetdv Did you have to reinstall Vegas Pro 22 after Windows upgrade? Did you avoid entering Vegas Pro serial number on activiation window on every launch of Vegas Pro after Windows upgrade?

I installed on a machine that already had Win 11 on it when purchased. It wasn't updated from 10 to 11. It started on 11. I haven't had an issue with needing to enter the serial number on every launch in either Win 10 (older machine with VEGAS Pro 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and - interestingly - 5 and 7) on it or on the current Win 11 machine.

Ok. Thank you. Do you have some experience that Vegas Pro 22 run faster on Windows 11 comparing with Windows 10? I mean rendering time and while editing and also while applying AI effects?

I don't see any reason it would be different. The only possibly relevant feature I know of is hardware GPU scheduling but even that doesn't really yield noticeably different results.

Windows 11 is three years old now - so not new. I don't think that there is any difference in Vegas Pro performance in W10 v W11, but then I've never had Vegas Pro 22 installed on a Windows 10 computer.

I can't think of any problems experienced with any other programs in W11 v W10.

There are rumours that Windows 12 is on its way maybe next year, so W11 may soon be history.

VP18-22 running on Win11 Pro. I did a full new installation of Win11, not an upgrade from Win10.

Steve_Rhoden wrote on 11/1/2024, 2:06 AM

@marcinzm Vegas Pro 22 works quite well on Windows 11 Pro, no need to worry. If you run into any issue, simply just re-install everything Vegas..... Just wish there was a way to completely disable or enable Automatic updates as i see fit.

No, you will see no visible speed increase or advantage moving from 10 to 11.

@marcinzm Depending on your hardware, it should make a difference is your CPU is a modern hybrid type with slow efficient (E cores) and fast performance (P cores) like Intel's generation 12,13 and 14 processors.

While Windows® 10 performs great with Intel Core™ Processors with performance hybrid architecture, upgrading to Windows 11 will allow your system to use the full capabilities of Intel® Thread Director to send the right workload to the right core at the right time.

Thank you all guys for your posts.

@bitman Do you mean that if I have Intel 14900KS CPU I will have better performance in Windows 11 compared with Windows 10? Do you mean what I have just written?

@marcinzm Yes, that is what it means. A less optimized core selection for your threads could potentially or even ad random choose a slower E type core when you really want that thread running on a P core. That is the theory at least... Weather or not you will see a difference between Windows 10 and 11 is another matter as not only the tread director plays a role, but also how windows 11 own architecture affects everything: increased security and how your additional software and devices act with it.

But to sum it up, I believe if you own a hybrid processor, then windows 11 is a no brainer.

I upgrade my workstation and running Windows 11 Pro (Build 24H2). I installed a new Digigram ALP222e. I am using Vegas Pro 13. When I try to record, it hanged the application and quit automatically on recording or playing. But not every time. I am not sure it is the sound card problem or Vegas problem. So I download the Vegas 22 trial version to test. I also got the program quit automatically. So it is not Vegas version compatible. Is it because of the sound card problem or there is a problem o Windows 11 24H2 version with Vegas?

Anybody have this issue?

RogerS wrote on 5/21/2025, 3:13 AM

There is no particular issue with VEGAS Pro and Windows 11 24H2 (both my systems are that and same for many other users here).

My guess would be a SoundCard driver? Is there an error message in Windows reliability?

Did you try ASIO or other options in VEGAS preferences for audio devices?

SnarfConsortium wrote on 5/21/2025, 9:57 AM

Have ran Vegas Pro 19, 20 and some of 21 on a Windows 10 machine, then upgraded midway through VP21 to Windows 11 and didn't have any issues. I am using VP22 currently with the same machine still on Windows 11 and haven't run into any issues until this last windows update (24H2) which knocked out a ton of audio drivers and USB recognition of some ASIO devices for some reason. Reverted the update and everything is normal again. Guessing this is more an issue with my personal machine and setup rather than anything to do with VP22 though.
