- Improved selection and visual indication of auto ripple modes

- 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

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

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.

@Bria It's a limitation of your keyboard, not Vegas. @Gid has explained how to get what you want.

It made me go searching for the other available codes which I've bookmarked for future use https://www.alt-codes.net/

Actually I usually use Windows' Character Map found under Windows Tools. This has the advantage that it shows me the characters/symbols available for the font I'm using. Probably you are already aware of this.

@Gid: I don't have a numeric keypad.

@EricLNZ: No, there is nothing wrong with my keyboard, Logitech K810; 'Video Mediator Generators -> Vegas Titles & Text' is broken.

How to type euro symbol on a UK keyboard

: Alt Gr + €

It works in the rest of Vegas:

But not in 'Video Mediator Generators -> Vegas Titles & Text' - Please fix.

@Bria EricLNZ isn't saying there's something wrong with your keyboard, he means keyboards in general.

Vegas Titles & Text' is broken

Titles & text isn't broken as such, it's just that the shortcut Alt + Ctrl + 4 (Alt GR + 4) is already in use.

Try this,

Go to Options - Customize Keyboard.
Type 'edit' in the box (without the quotations 😉), choose Global & scroll to the bottom of the list,
Remove the keyboard shortcut in the box so the space is blank, click OK.

Alt GR + 4 now works, Alt + Ctrl + 4 also works.

@Bria What keys are on a keyboard depends upon the language and location it was designed for.

Getting Offtopic - not having a numeric keypad, that's a pity. I use mine frequently with Vegas for precise editing.

@Gid Thank you, that works a treat. I've saved your pic in case I need to put it back.

New request. An option to set the default crossfade type for both video and audio. In old VP versions it could be partly set in Internal Preferences. It would be preferable to have these as easily available options in Preferences/Editing.

This thread refers https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/set-new-default-crossfade-settings--150247/

I've edited plenty of commercials from TVC, Online web, corporate, social media and some long-form as offline editor, online artist and even as colorist, here are my suggestion or request on VEGAS software.

I firmly believe that VEGAS Pro till to date has the best timeline logic. The way it uses "audio track" sense for video, how you move play head around just by clicking, how you merge between 2 events together become a crossfade transition, not a destructive cut, and how you Paste an event in timeline, it will smart enuf to think where to paste based on cursor placement. Unlike others, you gotten ensure which layer is set to active for targeted pasting. It just so much easier to move things around. Using VEGAS, editor creative input is not being interrupted on "how do I use this software", all that creative thinking process are actually spent on the cut itself.

I think VEGAS is perfect for offline editor. I'm talking about professional offline editors that cut high budget TVC that involved AG, Client & Director. In professional realm, VEGAS just need to get these 2 tools working for it to get a spot again in high-end production house.

Being able to export XML/EDL as well as batch export individual clip. (It's there but not functioning properly, broken)

And

Being able to export OMF/AFF for audio house. (I recall asking this in this forum and turns out VEGAS cant do this)

Offline editor task is to get the offline cut approved and shoot out all elements for online and re-assemble the assets back for final delivery.

I think Magix/VEGAS paid alot of money for Prores codec, it would be such a waste if that codec is not put to actual use on a actual, proper editing project.

I think these 2 request shud not be difficult for our amazing DEV to codes or fix it, unless it required some license etc 😬

Additional*

I think most of VEGAS user still rely on pluraleyes for audio sync, this is also considered major tool that is already bone stock standard on others since idk how long. Nowadays lot of things are done natively inside the software instead of using 3rd Party Plugins.

+1 the above comment. Exporting EDL or AFF is massive for collabing.

Reyfox wrote on 11/27/2025, 12:51 PM

+2 with the EDL

Betovalle wrote on 11/29/2025, 3:39 PM

More smooth text transitions would greatly improve the speed of production delivery.
Possible transitions of on-screen image elements like RedGiant's Universe: Logo Motion.

Applying effects simply to PNG or any other on-screen element. Effects like emerging from right to left, top to bottom, emerging from the center... smooth and practical movement. This would help produce transitions, logo reveals, and other creatives quickly and efficiently.

I like to use native tools without applying third-party plugins, as the whole process is usually easier and faster to execute.

(I don't know if any scripts have already been created to do this via keyframes...)

Reyfox wrote on 12/29/2025, 9:53 AM

Text can be animated with keyframes. Yeah, more time involved, but it can be done. It has been mentioned that a new titler is on the "to do" list. I just hope it will not take long. Right now, I also have NBFX Titler Pro 7 and Boris FX Continuum 2026 Title Studio if I need something more "special".

Pinnacle Studio has something similar where you have Enter, Emphasis, and Exit presets with lots of customizing that can be done. A surprisingly pretty good built in title editor.
