VEGAS Pro Feature Requests

pierre-k wrote on 4/30/2020, 7:02 AM

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.

Please add more option in Render Dialog Box.

For adding render template name as suffix, take a look at the Batch render Script.

I myself created a render script sir.

Quick Render (Please Try It and Review)

but it will be better if VEGAS have its own render function well furnished with all needs full filled.

Agree & thank you.

*Render Script download link is not working here

I would like a 'Sky replacement'"option. Several other NLE have it. But maybe the team could this function give something extra.

For example a motion tracking between new sky and the (foreground) video. Many, many shots move a bit. They not completely stand still. So the new sky has to move at the same way, direction, speed and so on as the (foreground) video.

Greetings,

Wiel

Should be possible with Smart Mask...I think...

Hi Theo,

I know. On YT there are examples how to replace the sky with Vegas Pro.

But maybe there is a way (script) to simplify that process of manual steps.

Greetings,

Wiel

@wiel-gulpen without masking, I am not aware of any "video" editing software that will automatically replace the sky. A script would have to do the masking for you, and am not sure that it can be done.

I know that Powerdirector has that option, but all the demos are of really easy, basically static video replacements with still sky images. With Mocha Vegas, you get a more professional look.

wiel-gulpen wrote on 4/12/2025, 3:49 PM

@Reyfox: I will explore the Mocha Vegas option with clips from the Alps from last summer.

I used a ND filter but it was not enough to 'save' the colours/cloud :-)

Thanks.

Wiel

Reyfox wrote on 4/14/2025, 5:14 AM

@wiel-gulpen yes, it will require more work for sure. But the results will be superior. It's tough sometimes shooting where you would need a strong ND filter to get what you are looking for. I've shot mountains and sky, and having to work with trying to get the color/clouds right along with the proper f-stops and shutter speed sometimes is a juggling act. And sometimes, it will never be perfect.

Lock track

Yes, I know we have the ability to lock events, but that is not quite the same thing. And I know it has been asked for before, just thought it was time to mention it again.

iEmby wrote on 4/26/2025, 3:34 PM

Need a Quick Render Button

which can just render as per project settings e.g. Resolutions fps and other things at a standard bitrate. just like we can do it in premier pro.

iEmby wrote on 4/26/2025, 3:37 PM

Full search penal

which can search between all transitions / video Fx / media generators atleast. to get access to them more fastly.

Ronald-Henderson wrote on 5/13/2025, 10:33 PM

It would be nice to have an extra tab on the preferences dialog where we could set all of our paths, instead of the paths being automatically set in the hidden appData on drive C: I like to keep my projects and media on a particular drive, I have a cache drive for temporary files, and for pre-rendered files. To be able to determine the hub folders and any other folders on the drives I choose would be convenient.

@Ronald-Henderson Hold down Shift and go to Option - Internal. Search for "path"/"folder", and customize your paths.

For VEGAS Hub, click here to modify the save path.

Thank you zzzzzz9125. The information is very useful to me and I appreciate that.

Tommaso-Greco wrote on 5/15/2025, 7:13 AM

I often have problems with large renderings (multitracks with various fx). Leaving aside the continuous crashes (while I'm working on editing) and despite having a good processor and a great video card, it happens that the rendering aborts halfway through the process, if not even a few minutes (or seconds) from the end! The question I would like to ask the developers is: since the truncated file is still generated, as a .tmp file, why after killing the process (you can't do otherwise, see video) is it not possible to resume rendering from the same point where it stopped?

means nothing to anyone. Your User Profile is blank. I suggest you create a separate post and include the necessary information to help you troubleshoot your problem(s). Read this POST and include the information in "B" and "C". Add your computer build to your Signature in your User Profile like mine below.

With the project, include all necessary info, effects used, source footage information, how long the project is, etc.. Specifics, not generalities.

I noted your suggestion on my signature and did it, but I don't understand why I have to create another post.
I thought I understood that in this discussion requests are made to developers. My request is to be able to "recover" the partially created .temp file to restart a new rendering from the point where it was previously interrupted, that is, starting from the created but truncated .temp file.
If at the same time someone can "also" give me some suggestions to avoid crashes, obviously welcome, but the main request is the one I expressed before.
P.S.
Does it also happen to others that to close the program it is necessary to terminate the process, as happens to me in the video?

This is the situation after restarting Vegas...all windows disappeared 😖

Now I will try to split the rendering into multiple parts, then I will merge them.

RogerS wrote on 5/15/2025, 12:30 PM

@Tommaso-Greco If you'd like advice on crashes please create another post. This is the right place for feature requests so no need to make another post for that.
