Thanks @RogerS No, I don't. My preference would be to use same tool for recording and editing (as it's one of the reasons I purchased it). It's odd that Vegas Pro doesn't support larger screen resolutions given how common it is.

It also mentions that Vegas Pro brings it all together - https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/video-editing/how-to-record-your-computer-screen/

In my experience the tool has various issues- not capturing certain audio, certain screens, etc. It could use to be revamped.

What about OBS?

Thanks @RogerS I did consider OBS however it doesn't offer an integrated editing suite (to the best of my knowledge) and tools like Camtasia are way outside of budget.

Do you need to do both in one program? Record in OBS and edit in VEGAS?

@RogerS, that would my preference. I appreciate alternative solutions however to maximize and streamline the workflow, I'd like Vegas Pro to support wide screens.

There is a feature requests thread here to share how you'd like Capture to work: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-feature-requests--134374/

I'm not sure if Capture is completely unable to capture higher resolutions or if it's a problem with particular GPUs, drivers, etc. With my laptop before the desktop was completely black.

I also used VEGAS Stream for a nice workflow but it's also gone.

Thanks @RogerS. You've been super helpful. Is there a way to identify if it's anything other than Vegas Capture? For example, the device I have is using Nvidia RTX 4080. It has the latest Nvidia drivers installed. It's disappointing it doesn't work with larger screens.

Let me test it here with my 4060 in a bit. I don't have as high a resolution screen.

I doubt it's a driver issue; all the drivers have been similar of late for video editing.

Thanks heaps. It'd be great to know if it works or doesn't at your end

@rhexor I use Nvidia Geforce, Alt+F1 captures a screengrab picture, Alt+F9 records the screen as AVC/AAC , I have a 32 UHD monitor.

PS, it also has a driver update feature.

I've tried Vegas capture, never seen a problem like your image but I don't use it because.. lets say it's unpredictable or unreliable.

@Gid, I was considering ShadowPlay although similar to some of the other alternatives, it doesn't have an integrated editing suite (to the best of my knowledge and happy to be told I'm wrong).

@rhexor Fair enough, but that's why I have Vegas Pro.. (also for other reasons of course)

If I want to quickly capture the screen I don't want to have to be opening VP, with Geforce I don't have to open anything, just press the keys I mentioned. To be honest in all the software I've had I haven't used the capture options they've had, when using VP I don't have a reason to capture the VP UI, I'm watching or doing something else, I capture & then switch over or edit later in VP. Forgive me but that's what an editor is for, surely any capture software that has an editing facility is going to be limited to just simple functions?

@Gid, that's also why I purchased Vegas Pro but it doesn't seem to support wide screens i.e. 3440 x 1440 and I'm hoping someone may have a solution I'm overlooking.

@rhexor I think as @RogerS  mentioned 'It's not the most reliable tool', I've read pretty much all the comments over the last 5yrs & the capture feature doesn't get mentioned much, I can't spk for everyone of course but I get the feeling the majority of people on here simply don't use it,.

Everyone's PC set-up is different so replicating your problem is hard to do. I understand that if you buy software with a certain feature you expect that feature to work but as with other's you might just have to use alternative capture software & maybe at some point the VP team will update this feature, I doubt it's top of their list at the moment though as their hands are full with the main major upgrade.

What is the reason to do both capture and editing in the same program? Sync issues?

I opened it on my laptop- it only finds my external display (2560x1440) and that looks fine but there's no internal display, the webcam doesn't work and resource use is very high.

I wouldn't use Capture, I'd use OBS or the built-in video tool with windows (shift + control + win) for simple captures.
