The texts feature is also a bit of square looking, is match easier to generate a video of the text with a transparent background and lay it over. > > I have a real really good time editing on Vegas but i do use other software to make it look better, i simply restrict myself to edit on Vegas, but i bring the colorful resources from other programs. Today you can edit a flashy video with an app with a few templates of effects and you can do it in 10 minutes and it would take you a few hours with Vegas to get a similar result. On the other hand, you would actually numb your fingers trying to edit a longer video on your cellphone, at the level you can do it in Vegas. On a side note, i prefere vegas up to 18th, it adjusts better to my editing style, after 19th they changed a few minor things that didnt went along with my way of working ----- ### "Vegas Pro is underrated SOOOO underrated" — 5.0/5 > **Zoe** | *10 May 2025* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sony vegas is by far the best in terms of performance and raw cut editing speed. Also the velocity curve is unmatched. On top of that, it is simplistic, and super easy to learn. Vegas is directed at consumers and as such, it's unmatched. You have more power than the built in Windows editor, but it's not quite at the professional level movie studios. There's a lot of support forums out there, and it's affordable for the average joe-schmoe. > > **Cons**: It doesn't have a massive library of built in effects or transitions. That's not to say you can't get plugins and 3rd party software to fill the gaps. the plugins and effects generated would be more on grade for influencers with YouTube videos rather than movie studios producing CGI for the big screens. > > 've tried so many different editing programs, and Vegas Pro is easily one of the best ones. (My go-to is Davinci Resolve) I don't understand why it has a market share of only 0.95%. I don't necessarily know if it competes with Davinci Resolve, but it's certainly up there with Premier and Final Cut. More people should use it honestly. ----- ### "“Long-Time Loyal User Concerned About Stability in Version 23”" — 2.0/5 > **Ron** | *24 February 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve used VEGAS Pro for well over a decade and have always appreciated its intuitive timeline workflow, strong audio tools, and overall editing flexibility. The drag-and-drop interface and efficient editing style have allowed me to complete countless professional projects quickly. It has long been a powerful and creative tool in my workflow. > > **Cons**: With Version 23, I encountered multiple bugs and instability issues that made it unreliable for professional work. After only a few sessions, I reverted to an earlier version because I could not risk project integrity. Months later, many of the same issues still appear unresolved. For those of us who depend on this software professionally and purchase upgrades annually, stability must be the top priority. > > For many years, VEGAS Pro has been my primary editing platform, and I’ve consistently supported it by purchasing upgrades each year. However, Version 23 has shaken my confidence due to reliability concerns. As a long-time user, I never expected to be considering alternative platforms, but when stability becomes uncertain, continuing to rely on it feels risky. I genuinely hope future updates refocus on performance and reliability, as the core software has always had tremendous potential. ----- ### "Vegas beats Adobe hands down" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *29 April 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is so easy, simple, and highly intuitive to use. I was up and working in under 30 minutes, and didn't need to Google much of anything to figure stuff out. > > **Cons**: It's a shame more people and businesses don't use it to make it more mainstream. > > Vegas Pro is a powerful, intuitive, fully functional video editing suite that everyone from beginners to advanced users love. I was skeptical at first, but tried it out and haven't looked back. So much better than Adobe Premiere\! ----- ### "Best video editing software so far" — 5.0/5 > **Rayhanali** | *11 February 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Flexible use, user-friendly interface, great community, huge library and features to choose from. > > **Cons**: Some features use really technical terms, which are a bit hard to understand for common people at first. > > So far this is the best video editing software in my opinion. This is not too simple of which there is a very limited feature available, but not too complex either, so it is a sweet spot also for first-time user. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/196011/vegas-pro?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/196011/vegas-pro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
