- ARRIRAW .arw support
- SONY RAW / X-OCN support

- Native denoiser
- VST3 plugins support
- Plugin organizer
- Improvements to the current Media Manager
- 5.1 project with nvenc HW support output file rendering ready to play in one step without muxing offline
- import MKV with multichannel sound (Vegas could automatically convert DTS and AC3 to multi wav)
- export to MKV
- export subtitle track to SRT and SUB (as in Vegasaur)
- Change Time Stretch Ctrl + mouse to 0-1000%
- Better Optical Flow not in Video FX, but built-in program working with Velocity and Time Stretch Ctrl+ mouse
- Background rendering and better use of Dynamic Ram for smooth playback
- Luma Key and UNMULT plugin (Create an alpha channel for any image or video shot on a black or White background)

- Velocity for audio track
- Change Playback Rate in Properties at the event automatically adjusts the audio track as well
- Update Transitions (Zoom warp...)
- Adjustment clip

https://vegasaur.com/pin-effects-to-motion-track

- Improved selection and visual indication of auto ripple modes
- Improved migration of all features between versions including project properties, windows layouts, pan/crop templates. Migration is currently a mess. New versions should inherit all those settings from previous versions.
- Memorize the custom size of the thumbnails (Explorer/Effects/ ...) and all windows

- select events by holding the right mouse button (as in Cockos Reaper)

- Improved native titler or upgrade Protype Titler with 3D text option (as in BluffTiler)
- add mirroring in the PiP plugin
- Improved besier keyframe curve, this will be a innovation for all plugins.
Improved vs Vegas non-improved keyframe curve:

- the ability to save an FX package which keyframes are placed at the beginning and which keyframes are placed at the end of the event.

- add more effects for transitions and all keyframe (as in Blufftitler, Vegasaur Tweener and many others)

https://vegasaur.com/tweener

- Pan / Crop - unlimited object zoom

- Automatable FX - just right click whatever knob in and create Automation without clicking through the track itself.

- Contour Shuttle Control or Mouse Wheel Control on ALL Timelines.
- Resizing of Panes that’s logical.
- Safe Areas revealed on External Monitor, as it is in DVDA.
- Track Naming Box that’s NOT invisible.
- User option to remove EXPANDED EDIT MODE or remove double mouse clicks.
- Script to Collapse Selection and then re-invoke it.
- add the option Studio and Computer RGB to the Preview window
- close windows with ESC button
- Redesign of all audio plugins + Noise reduction
- Fix Vegas freeze when deleting events on the fly

- graphic design from alifftudm95

- suggestions from alifftudm95

- suggestions from Amivideotek

- suggestions from Adimatis

VEGAS SCREEN CAPTURE:

- add resolution change
- add FPS change (in Europe it is 25fps. Not 30fps)
- add bitrate change
- add Custom Area
- add path where to save files
- add Gallery of grabbed videos
- add the ability to select files in the gallery and right-click to send to Vegas in the context menu
- attractive UI (Get inspired by Nvidia G Experience, for example)

and other great suggestions below in the discussion.

I suggest that this list, including the discussion, be published in the Vegas Forum in the Important posts section, because it is a request from all of us for future versions of Vegas - 19 and higher.

The requirements met and the listed version of Vegas will be marked in red.

@Grazie ... Re the preferred audio editor, what I am suggesting is an easy selection in Options/Preferences/Audio that is something like this:

... where there is a one click choice to change the audio editor. This would avoid the need to delve into the subfolders of Program Files and Program Files (x86) to find the .exe file for the various audio editors that is currently required each and every time it is wanted to change to another audio editor. In the above example, only one checkbox can be selected at a time of course.

@Dexcon - Ah, righto! 👍

It is impossible to export 4K video in vertical format inside VEGAS Pro.

In project settings, its possible to set the width/height to whatever value. It act like compositing softwares. Which is extremely great.

But upon rendering, when we select custom frame size, it will force back 3840 value to 2304 pixels in height.

Please make it possible. The demand in Vertical videos is increasing day by day. Some even projected on giant LCD panel on buildings, which make sense why client/Agency request 4K quality in 9:16 ratio

In Vegas Pro 19, include Text Engine Preferences to include all Indian Languages including Telugu language for typing and exporting, which is not available upto Vegas Pro 18.

Match mover

point tracker

better roto tools

better masking tools

mocha like planar tracker

Also a new ui would be nice

@Ca.F

If you are interested in a concrete realisation of your suggestions, you should elaborate your suggestions in much more detail.
With "better roto tools" , "better masking tools" and "Also a new ui would be nice" no developer - and certainly not you - can start working.

Try to proceed like this:

What exactly is the problem
What exactly is the goal

for each of your proposed points.

Because - if the developers would now take up your vague suggestions - you could sit back in your armchair and say: "but that's not how I imagined it......".

For Audio:
1.Sidechain FX available for audio fx
2.Mulptiple plugins on-screen for audio fx

I'd like the ability to save keyframe sequences for things like Pan/Crop animation, Pan/Crop mask animation, Media Generator animation, etc, as a preset. At present you can only save one keyframe as a preset.

NOTE: Original comment modified.

Marco. wrote on 4/27/2021, 11:03 AM

FX Packages save keyframe sequences.

Grazie wrote on 4/27/2021, 11:09 AM

@Jack S - Ooo like that!

Jack S wrote on 4/28/2021, 4:43 AM

@Marco. Can you explain please. Whenever I've tried to save a preset of a FX that has a sequence of keyframes, it saves the preset with just one keyframe, the keyframe that the cursor happens to be on at the time of saving

Jack S wrote on 4/28/2021, 4:55 AM

@Marco. 'FX Packages save keyframe sequences'.
Thanks for that. I've just looked up FX Packages in the Help system and see what you mean. However, these only work on FXs. I wanted to be able to save keyframe sequences for Pan/Crop masking and the keyframe set for this isn't included in the saved FX package (unless I've missed something else).

I think 3POINT explains what you are referring to in this thread.

Marco. wrote on 4/28/2021, 5:05 AM

@Jack S That's correct, FX Packages only save FX animation not Pan/Crop nor Track Motion animations.

Jack S wrote on 4/28/2021, 5:13 AM

@Marco. Thanks for confirming. My original 'feature request' stands, but I'll modify it to make it more succinct..

@EricLNZ Thanks also. I did find that info in the help, from @Marco.'s comment. Sometimes it's difficult to find something in Help without knowing the term to search for.

Grazie wrote on 4/28/2021, 5:24 AM

Jack S I understood your initial request very clearly.

Reinstate AC3 encoder and decoder for 5.1 audio.

Reinstate the import of mvc file with 5.1 ac3 audio track.

Reinstate DVD Architect Pro and upgrade it to 64 bit.

The only useful part of Vegas Pro is the MVC encoder.

As always, it's a matter of opinion - and what exactly you do with a programme.
For my part, I use about 100 other functions in Vegas Pro - and the MVC encoder not at all.
It's good that Vegas Pro has so many facets - so we can choose.

alifftudm95 wrote on 5/10/2021, 2:43 PM

I know Some people use Handbrake as alternative for VEGAS Pro version of "Media Encoder" from Adobe.

But I like the whole thing can be done by the product itself without relying on 3rd party.

The Swap files button is very smart, it replace file base on original name, which is good & bad. The bad part, what if the proxy file accidentally moved to source clip folder which will mess up the whole projects. It will be smart if it able to remembered & recognized which one is original & proxy clip with different naming/labeling on the proxy clip. This may required cache or whatnot. So the simple solution is to add label "P" on the proxy clip. For example video clip C0039 is the original file, C0039_P is the proxy file. So u can toggle on/off between Original clip & proxy clip like any other NLE.

However, you need to batch render them to transcode to a much more friendly codec. That is the whole point of proxy. However, VEGAS Pro cant batch render multiple files from project media. Maybe a Proxy button on Project Media tab will launch the render dialog for batch processing. You can pick format & templates like the normal render panel. You can select auto create folder, which is smart enuf to generate a new folder besides VEG main file to stored the proxy clip. You can choose between Original name, Proxy labeling or Date/Time for the proxy clip.

I know this can be done with a script, but I feel its not official & missing as standard NLE

The swap files was created for Sony camera specifically which can create instant/realtime proxy files when recording if I'm not mistaken. Correct me if Im wrong.

Stability. Rock solid stability. That's literally the only feature I want from 19.

DrinkyBird wrote on 5/12/2021, 10:48 AM

Many container formats allow you to give individual streams names/titles/labels. For example, when I record my desktop via OBS, I will record desktop audio and my microphone to separate streams, making it easier to edit them. I have OBS set to label these tracks appropriately in the output file:

Vegas supports using files with multiple streams perfectly, but it doesn't read or display the stream names, and simply displays their number:

My feature request is fairly simple: make Vegas read and display these stream names, something like this:

Yes, it's fairly easy to figure out which stream is which, especially if you remember what the numbers are. But this small feature could've helped me out a few times.

I would like to see Vegas Pro as a host for Izotope Ozone Elements 9 to skip some trips into Sound Forge. I compared it to Audition and Fairlight and the interface for EQ (and the Rx plugins) is really excellent.

[Edit: While not listed as compatible by Izotope, the 32-bit VST 2 DLL loads in Vegas Pro. Maybe the issue is more that VP needs better VST3 and 64-bit support.]
