The list is getting so long that it will work for Vegas 18-25 😅

- stability
- open beta testing
- MagicYUV 10-bit support
- ARRIRAW .arw support
- SONY RAW / X-OCN support
- Canon Cinema RAW support
- GPU support for XAVC long
- GPU support for DJI.AVC, GoPro AVC, XiaoYi AVC (permanently deleted from the blacklist)
- Proper built in support for .mov files, re: Canon 5D Mk iv files
- AMD VCN encode and decode
- 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 -1000%
- 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
- Beziere Masking UI

- add Pin Effects to Motion Track (as in Vegasaur)
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.

One thing I'd like is a switch to lock event position. But unlike the current lock-switch, it should not lock anything else like the trimming, event-fade, grading, or fx. Or perhaps a preference setting to make the current lock-switch behave like that globally.

I also wish Vegas would get away from splitting clips in multicam editing. Instead, manipulating an envelope (like video composite level) would eliminate allot of grading complications and glitches caused by clip-slivers the current split/mute approach often sprinkles about.

Would also like to see the current video composite envelope generalized. With the added capability to drop any transition onto envelope slopes. Similar to the current functionality of dropping video transitions onto event-fades.

A New Deep and Advance Title Editor With Advance Typography Animation Feature just like ProType Titler.

Reyfox wrote on 10/16/2023, 6:50 AM

@J-Toresen and @Former user, I know I can adjust the gain of an individual clip. What I want to do, without the "blue line" throughout the entire track, is to keyframe one clip. Using "V" to let me use keyframes, I have to additionally make sure that at the end of the clip, to have it keyframe back to it's original volume setting.

Sorry I didn't make it clearer.

Former user wrote on 10/16/2023, 7:04 AM

@Reyfox 👍 I see, that's all i was asking so thanks for clearing that up 👍

Dexcon wrote on 10/16/2023, 7:14 AM

A very good idea @Reyfox . The only thing I would like to add is that the presumption IMO would be that the start/end of an event only audio envelope would be set by default at neutral (i.e neither plus nor minus). An important question howver is how an event limited audio envelope would interact with the track level audio envelope (i.e. 'V').

Reyfox wrote on 10/16/2023, 7:40 AM

@Dexcon, the overall track volume would also affect the overall volume of the keyframed audio in a clip. But again, you have the ability to adjust that one clip and keyframe the volume to what you want, say in doing this in audio ducking.

Below is a screenshot of a consumer editor where you can adjust the volume of the entire track, and also keyframe any clip or adjusting the volume of a clip up or down. To keyframe a clip, just double left click on the green volume line.

Former user wrote on 10/16/2023, 8:16 AM

@Reyfox

Magix Movie Studio also has a Volume Curve for each event

Reyfox wrote on 10/16/2023, 8:18 AM

@Former user, I do have MEP 2022 and VPX14, so am familiar with that feature. I would also like to see that ability in Vegas Pro. It simplifies this process greatly.

Dexcon wrote on 10/16/2023, 8:29 AM

@Reyfox ... from that timeline image, its unfortunately contrary to my audio editing style. While on the first audio event the audio level is twice ducked (good), the audio levels between the following events are hard cuts. I'd be dissolving the audio by 8 -12 frames (J/L) to avoid the hard audio cut - but that's just the approach that I'd take - many others will obviously differ.

Also, I can't see any difffernce to what has long been available in VP. Since all the audio levels on the audio events are reduced rather than increased (which in VP involves having to add the Volume FX to increase volume) - its equally easy to reduce an audio track's volume in VP.

Based on the audio timeline given, I honestly can't see what advantage there is over what is currently available in VP with 'V' timeline enveloping and individual volume lowering by audio event in VP. Sorry, but maybe i'm missing somthiing.

Reyfox wrote on 10/16/2023, 9:28 AM

@Dexcon, in my screenshot, it wasn't an actual editing for a video. I was trying to show what can be done. You can fade in/out, keyframe, what ever you want between clips. I wanted to show what can be done with a single clip. With Vegas, to keyframe, you have to use "V", correct? That puts a blue line throughout the entire track. So if you are keyframing just one event, you have to make sure at the end of that keyframing that the next event that you don't want any change, is keyframed.

In the screenshot, I can do whatever I want to one event and never worry about making sure that the next event is affected.

Track volume level can be adjusted like in Vegas. Volume level at the event can be adjusted. Then also at the event, audio ducking.

Reyfox wrote on 10/20/2023, 10:24 AM

I would also like to see something on the media assets in Project Media that will let you know if it has been used.

A green check mark or any other visible mark on the asset that lets me know at a glance what has been used.

Screenshot is from a consumer editor. You can also rate the asset with a star is you want, then search the Library for everything that has that star rating. But I will settle for any indicator that an asset has been used.

Mindmatter wrote on 10/20/2023, 12:53 PM

pleasepleaseplease....!!
The other day, I again looked for a reason why an event wouldn't just show for 5 minutes...until I saw that it's muted! Please make muted events MORE DISTINGUISHABLE!

Former user wrote on 10/20/2023, 1:20 PM

I'd like to know why in VP21 they thankfully made the delete button a bold red colour but when keyframing the FX's they got rid of the bold blue to red & changed it to a little red cross!. "Lets fix that but screw up this" 🤦‍♂️ What were they thinking? 🤷‍♂️

mamomo wrote on 11/17/2023, 3:52 PM

It would be nice to be able to vary the size of the envelope points or anchor points on the timeline to make them appear larger visually.

after

juan_rios wrote on 11/17/2023, 5:25 PM

Yes! Please Magix...

Petersson wrote on 11/17/2023, 5:39 PM

@mamomo @juan_rios

Maybe even better, from a GUI / UX point of view;

Highlight the complete line, make the active (selected) line a bit thicker.

Show grips at the surface of the dots and turn the selected anchor point into a circle with a highlight behind it.

This way it's super clear which point is active and what the other Bezier points can do / how they will (re-)act.

_________________________________________________________

Bonus option : set the type of line, e.g. solid / dashed / dotted / etc...

So the color visually impaired (colorblind) can see from the shape which kind of line it is and not only by color.

This can be done by simply right clicking on the enveloppe (the stroke-type comes together with a color-picker for that active line).

This is very great feature to have in VEGAS Pro

Update - added a color-picker along the line-style.

Of course it's a mockup and not "the way UI is done", but it's a concept.

Rightclick on an enveloppe and all the options you need are there.

Maybe even set the thickness (upper right in the menu) and you're done.

Would make it much easier to configure all those nasty lines :-)

Good insight, yes. Better... Much better...

When I type text, I type in full-width characters because I'm Japanese, but the keyboard shortcuts in Vegas Pro don't respond to full-width characters, which is very inconvenient. In full-width mode, the spacebar for playback does not respond either, so we have to press the half-width/full-width key in the upper left corner, which the Japanese keyboard has, every time we finish entering text. I would like all systems to support full-width characters

RogerS wrote on 11/25/2023, 7:16 AM

I'd like the HEVC templates to default to lower bitrates to yield similar quality to AVC at the default bitrates. At the moment they are identical for a given resolution and framerate.

Even better would be options to set a quality metric as an alternative to guessing bitrates.

bitman wrote on 11/26/2023, 2:41 AM

I would Like the Vegas Content (especially the audio) have a toggle on/off to display the name only of the audio sample. Now both the length and name are displayed under each audio item, but due to the limited space (5 audio clips per line) the number of characters identifying the name of each audio clip is only 5 long, the rest is only ... and the length. I would like to have the option to disable the display of the length (and omitting the ...) , because now I honestly cannot make out what to select and try out of a full screen of the first 5 character long names of songs and sound effects.

When I adjust tangent handles in Color Curve beyond the graph box, the handles dissapear. I can't readjust the curve because the handles are no longer visible/selectable. Is there any way to have Color Curve tangent handles to be visible and selectable beyond the graph box?

Please add a normal RTL support for titles , for an years I'm asking that 🙏
