@13Year_User As an ordinary user, I also think that VP23 does have many problems. VP22 is more stable.

However, in general, VEGAS Pro releases a new major version every third quarter of the year. I wonder if there might be another two updates for VP23? Since the last build 356 of VP23 was withdrawn, Magix has not responded to this matter.

If you are happy with your current version, there is no reason to upgrade. In the meantime, buying new versions is a waste of money.

@13Year_User Vegas 23 will be updatede soon.

I agree that VP23 hasn't been one of the better releases, and updates should be forth coming to fix issues. AS for updating to a new version when it is released as being a waste of money, that is something that the individual will have to decide for themselves. It hasn't been for me so far....

I was a part of the alpha-team at Sonic Foundry, the original producers of Vegas. It was a spin-off of the UI that Chris Moulios created for ACID.

The fact that Vegas 23 (and apparently every version) releases with known functionality bugs is shocking. Neither crash bugs nor functionality bugs were released from any version of Sound Force, ACID, Vegas, or CD/DVD Architect platforms under Sonic Foundry. CTO Curt Palmer would have had an aneurysm.

I have no idea who leads today's dev team, but there is a basic bug preventing me from even opening the DEMO for Vegas 23. I did extensive testing, and sent a detailed report to Support, which promises a turnaround of 2-4 days on inquiries. I was able to produce ample Windows Event evidence and logical steps to determine which of two possible modules was at fault.

That would have been the minimum acceptable reporting during my association with Sonic Foundry.

I have heard nothing. So, I can only conclude that there is some very basic systemic disconnect here between best practices and whatever has become of Vegas. Quite sad, as Vegas was one of the most exciting products I had the privilege to be a part of...on par with the original Gigasampler/Gigastudio.

I truly hope there is some movement towards releasing stable products. I have a voluminous archive of music and video works that I actually need to access for the purposes of updating and licensing some materials. If I cannot even open and evaluate a current version--as a past user who made significant contributions--then how is a truly "new" user to take the work seriously? It is profoundly disappointing.

Generally the new releases are in summer so if you're in no hurry check back then.

Well there's at least one major issue with rendering videos with ProRes 444, the background is transparent but the colors are messed up... ><

I agree with Bruce_Richardson. I have been using Vegas professionally as a film maker, reviewer for Auscam and current advocate.

The early versions of Video Factory, Vegas, Sound Forge, Acid and DVD Architect were quite distinctive because they were rock solid. Premiere Pro was disastrously flawed, oven quitting and leaving no evidence of the state of your editing. Years later, Vegas showed some serious issues such the dreaded text replacement glitch that replaced all of your text files with the default. Things got worse under Sony which was extremely disappointing.

We're all hoping for a return to the stability that characterized the early versions of Vegas and the current issues in VP 23 leave much to be desired. Vegas Pro remains a brilliant NLE and is still the fastest way to get from idea to finished video. Can we please request fewer novelty tweaks and much more attention to reliability. I know there are many loyal Vegas users out there that will agree! Come on Magix - please just sort out out your priorities!

So one major issue (and on a format that not everyone uses and the main ProRes 4444-ap4h file with transparency I'm using DOES show proper colors) and it's "obsolete"? Jeeez

I'm using VEGAS Pro 23 daily for my video work and it's working great. Definitely more stable than 22. I'm even still using the "pulled" version 356 which is doing everything I need to do. I understand that other people have other workflows and there are some issues to be resolved yet but to call it "obsolete"?

@Wolfgang S. Obviously, many people are of that opinion, which they are indeed and in fact entitled to. Just because you say something is or is not would ever change the god given right of another's opinion. Keep this in mind going forward S. Wolfgang

That has nothing to do with God or the democratic fundamental right to free opinion—it’s all about which version is currently being sold and supported. We’ll see when this version gets replaced.

@Wolfgang S. No, no no. who are you to say anything about anything having nothing to do with free opinion or god for that matter? If anything is believed to be obsolete to someone that's what they believe, you'll need to learn to just take it without adding your two cents and expecting anyone to care too much about anything you have to say on it. The next version may be obsolete to me if I in fact come that judgement, you better believe it, So What? If it is I'll make it known again and again and of course disregard anything you may need to say on it. Because the facts are that anything you feel you need to say on what one feels to be obsolete or not has nothing to do with anything anyone wants to hear, for whoever in fact feels that way. Let that sink in a bit, know it. Looking forward to your next reply on being Obsolete, if you must? Oh, and yeah, be careful not to generalize or assume to explain away the honest opinions of others by using the words "it’s all about", those words are relative and highly subjective at best. And you'll leave yourself open to being called out again by me, and that you can honestly "know for sure it will happen at some point".

I will no longer tolerate your condescending tone. Who gives you the right to presume to lecture others like that?

I have already explained my point of view and never claimed that others must share it — that was your assumption alone.

If you continue to push your personal opinions on others or act disrespectfully, you are violating the community rules. Be careful — such behavior doesn’t go without consequences. This is a clear warning.

Sure, but that doesn't make Vegas Pro 23 obsolete. That's akin to suggesting that current releases of Microsoft Word should be considered obsolete if they don't work with a particular printer driver. And that's not what obsolete means.
