A wide array of video editing software programs dot the post-production landscape these days. But which one wins an editor’s heart? A user-friendly interface and workflow and a “wallet-friendly” price!
If you are already familiar with version 12 you will find that little has changed, except for the addition of a few new pro features. Five new edit tools are accessible from this new toolbar: Shuffle, Slip, Slide, Time Stretch/Compress and Split Trim. A new Loudness Meters panel measures audio levels by sound-energy levels rather than waveform peaks.
Vegas Pro already supported 4K media, but a proxy mode now automatically kicks in whenever 4K is imported. This generally works well. Low-resolution copies of video are uploaded to the cloud immediately after capture. From there they can be downloaded to a computer and added to the Vegas timeline. These proxies are replaced with the original high-resolution footage when it arrives. It makes perfect sense for large production teams working to tight deadlines!
Our favorite? It’s new companion iPad app!
It communicates with the desktop software via a local network, and serves as a wireless remote control and commenting system. It includes conventional transport buttons and gesture-based controls. All our most used commands in one plate! Or iPad screen so to speak 🙂
Sony Vegas Pro 13 is a powerful, affordable editing program. Download the trial and experience it yourself. The Pro features are amazing!
