What VEGAS Pro Suite 23 Is For
Designed for professional editing and premium content creation, VEGAS Pro Suite 23 combines video editing, 2D/3D compositing, advanced color grading, and audio post-production. It suits independent filmmakers, agencies, studios, as well as YouTube creators, social media influencers, or businesses aiming to quickly produce cinematic-quality videos.
Main Features
Video Engine and Performance
The "VEGAS Core Engine" leverages DirectX 11/12 and a VRAM pipeline to minimize GPU/CPU copies and accelerate color space conversions on Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA GPUs. The result: smoother navigation and more stable previews in multi-track projects.
Unified Timeline and Animation
All key steps happen on a single timeline: cutting, trimming, grading, compositing, and mixing. Keyframe envelopes for track and event FX are now editable directly on the timeline for more precise 2D/3D compositing (beta feature).
AI and Workflow Acceleration
Generate voice-overs, create subtitles, and edit as if in a text document. AI-assisted object masking speeds up rotoscoping, while smart cropping simplifies adapting to 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9 formats.
Color Grading and Interface
The new grading window, floating, dockable, and "modeless," remains accessible at all times. The interface gains clarity and adapts to your workflow thanks to docking on four sides, a unified Explorer, and a redesigned render dialog to find the right settings faster.
Integrated Pro Audio
Edit and master with SOUND FORGE Pro 18. Compose, sample, and arrange loops with ACID Pro 11. In VEGAS, the new modernEQ equalizer refines timbre; record effect chains as "FX Package" and benefit from the VST3 interface.
Effects, Content, and Capture
Access over 290 effects, filters, transitions, and title animations, or create your own styles via "Adjustment Events." Enjoy 1.5 million stock assets (videos, music, SFX) integrated with one click. "VEGAS Capture 2.0" facilitates screen and webcam recording with direct timeline import.
