Hi, anyone have any feedback on if and how Vegas Pro and Sound Forge will work on the new MAC Chips. I've run them both successfully in Boot Camp for years on Windows 7 and it's time for a new computer and I have my eyes on the new Macbook Pro with the M1 chip
It won't happen in the next decade. Maybe.
I thought I saw on Reddit it was not working. I would not expect it to work and if it did not at a reasonable speed. I'd use M1 native software.
Just get a PC. The M1s are overrated.
Similar history for me. I've been using Vegas for years in Bootcamp. Bought an M1 with Parallels and it's been frustrating. Talked to all levels of support. Finally got Vegas to install, but it crashes every time. Bottom line: Don't buy an M1 and expect Vegas to work on it. Either get FinalCut for Mac, or follow @fr0sty's advice.

M1 is actually very very good. Resolve playback on that device is just effortless. I really hope to see VEGAS on apple product.
You can get a far more powerful PC notebook for the same price. The only thing the M1 has going for it is hardware ProRes acceleration... if you happen to shoot on ProRes, and apparently that only works in Final Cut.
Well, I guess this answers part of my question in my other thread. Avoid Mac M1s for Vegas
