This is the discussion thread for The future of Sony Vegas?. Post away!
Read BEFORE posting Trades & Request
Many of you in the community are already aware of the news regarding the acquisition of Sony Creative Software products by MAGIX.
I am here to chime in and provide some more details specifically regarding Vegas Pro and future product development.
MAGIX has assembled an experienced, dedicated Vegas Pro development team here in the Madison Wisconsin area, under product owner Gary Rebholz. The new Vegas team consists of people from SCS, and a number of them date back to when that group was part of Sonic Foundry. They have worked diligently and passionately for almost two decades to make Vegas what it is today. We are a team already experienced with development and support of Vegas, working for a software company who is already experienced in Multimedia NLE development.
Our intent is to have a release of Vegas available in the fall of this year, and continue developing and supporting Vegas into the future. We would like to hear from you, the members of the Vegas Pro community, regarding your favorite features, specific things you would like to see addressed, and questions you may have.
Here are some answers to questions we already see in the community.
- We have no intention of moving Vegas to a classic subscription model.
- Current plan is to release Vegas Pro in the fall of this year.
- MAGIX will develop Vegas and Movie Studio into the future.
- MAGIX will continue to support all current SCS customers who purchased acquired products from Sony to ensure a seamless end user experience.
Thank you for your continued support. Your feedback is valuable and will help us enhance Vegas and return it to the level of tool we want it to be and something that will excite even new users.

thecuddlyninja said:I had a computer changeover and tried to install DVD Architect but there's no link on the new page. I expected they wouldn't support it if they didn't plan on making a new version but I should be able to download what I already bought and use it. Anybody else have this problem?
That One Guy said:The Colour-Match tool looks interesting and quite promising to me, for instance...
bionicbob said:I was originally considering switching to Adobe Premiere Pro CC, but I see it is now only available through subscriptions and using their Cloud service which makes an old fart like me uncomfortable since I prefer having a hard copy of everything.
So now I am looking at Sony Vegas Pro too, and just the simple option of being able to still buy a physical product makes it very appealing to me.
But what is the opinion of my trusted fellow fan editors? Which software is better? What are the pros and cons of each? :huh:
Q2 said:I much prefer Premiere since I came from FCP and the UI is very similar.
DigModiFicaTion said:I've tried Vegas Pro and never saw any benefit other than the 3D rotations and expanded video and audio track allowance it allowed vs studio platinum hd. Are there any benefits that warrant a $250 price jump from the introductory studio suites?
