Vegas Pro 18 Review | Davinci Resolve Guy Tries Vegas Pro 18

Love ya vids!! Are you able to edit 6k blackmagic footage ?

Vegas Pro 18 Now Get The Laptop.

Can i ask pls what reminds time of Free Trial Edition

i love the way you express yourself, how precise and direct you explain things so that they are easy to understand :) ♥ Thanks

humble bundle has this for $25 with sound forge, music maker and samplitude bundled right now

Vegas Pro is very fast at render. You just need to use the "MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4" preset with AMD/CUDA acceleration.
The lack of features you noticed regarding Color Grading are mostly are mostly available in version 20.
The spacebar feature is incredible useful for me because you can rewatch a sequence extremely fast and accurate.
Nice video!

What kind of a computer were you using that took it so long to render a 1080p file? Something sounds seriously wrong with the software if it takes 20 to 40 minutes to render a minute and a half worth of video.

Those render times sound insane.

On sale in humble bundle... Is this software worth getting for video editing though? 🤔

Thanks for the video! I was not sure to get that software in a "Humble Bundle" bundle and 20 min render for a 1 min video is baaaaad, so thank you again to have tested this software for us :)

As for me, everything is simple and clear. Thank you very much

Thank you for your complete and comprehensive training. Very good!

Hi, I came from Brazil and this is perfect, I'm using after very easy, thanks! <3

OMGGG IT WORKED!!! I finally got this app and I’ve waited for soooo long! It’s the only tutorial that actually worked, thanks so much <3

Amazing work on the explanation, trying it definitely

After you do an automatic crossfade, you can change the fade types in case you want one clip to fade out faster or shower than the other one is fading in. Nice!

To go through frame by frame zoom in using mousewheel and press left or right arrow on keyboard

Interesting

They stole money from me. Don't install unless you want it permanently.

Correction : There is indeed a video trimmer (source monitor alternative) if you want to use it. One way to use it is to right click onthe footage and the first option is "open in trimmer" It's actually more intuitive than premiere's source monitor. But I prefer trimming it on the timeline since as it's more comfortable and accurate once you get used to it. Also you can just select the portion of the footage or audio you want just from the bin if you roughly know how much you want.

Have You ever seen the Movies Transformers? any of them? those were made totally on a Linux Operating system Using Kdenlive and Blender

Quick note. The spacebar setting to make it pause instead of go back is an option you can change in the settings.
BTW, the render times in 19 are MUCH faster than in 18.

A lot of the timeline things function is like my DAW reaper, one of my favorite pieces of software of all time. I'm gonna try vegas for sure.

Great review! I'm a long time Vegas user that is reticent to spend that kind of money on a casual hobby, and this gave me an idea of how much of a learning curve it would be to switch to Resolve.

Can someone tell me in Vegas say you work on a project. All the project files are in one folder. But you have a second drive where you keep your standard sound fx and overlays and logos etc. So few assets are coming in from that 2nd drive. Now is there a way to save the project so that it will bring those assets from that HDD into this folder permanently ? I know there's a project archive save feature. But that will trim everything and put it into one folder which is good during project completion. What if im still working on the project. Now dont say manually copy each asset (mp3/png overlay/video overlay) and put them into this folder, that will be cumbersome to do every day as im working thru the project.

Shuttle Pro is your best friend for Vegas.

Many people have been disappointed by "Vegas" pro 18. I've watched videos about that.
Actually version 18 is no longer VEGAS, it's MAGIX. I'm keeping my two old versions 17 & 11. thanks.

You can make Space Bar the Play + Pause button in Preferences, it's the first thing I do when I install in on a new PC, I agree with you it makes no sense having it as 2 separate buttons.

Take into account that upgrading from Vegas 18 pro to 19 pro is $200!!! DaVinci wins.

The only BIG difference between Vegas Pro & Devinci Resolve is the price. One cost hundred of $ (additional $ for any future update), and the other is FREE.

After getting used to RESOLVE, every other software looks like a toy 😂😂
P.S. No hate towards Vegas pro

Watching this video after cancelling my Adobe Premiere Pro subscription - It was a great piece of software but as someone who doesn't do video editing for a job but as a hobby, I just can't justify spending so much money on it every month. Being a musician it is refreshing to see this software is very DAW influenced, and being able to purchase the software without a money draining subscription service is a breath of fresh air! Great review.

I just got this a week ago...I've been using vegas 11 for a long time and wanted to upgrade...so did you vegas 16...it seemed fine...but 17 had way more fx ...etc...so I updated to 17....then it completely crashed...had corrupted files etc,...after only a few days it crashed and wouldn't open up again...every time I tried to open the screen flashed and it said there was an error with the program...I thought, "oh ok I'll just uninstall and re install"....it wouldn't un install...didn't populate in the application thing in win 10 ...I'm wondering if it's my hardware? I have a problem with my win 10 not updating...I wonder if that's the problem? wtf? so, rather than try to go back and forth with magix via email and most likely they're never going to figure it out anyway, I just got vegas 18 pro....I was liking it it seemed stable enough...made a short vid, rendered it, it was fine...now on my 2nd video it's starting to crash....anyone else having problems with this??...I'm getting fucking pissed off....there are other little glitches that suck too...whenever I select all files, to drag everything closer to the beginning to trim the fat of the vid, it suddenly makes it impossible to mute a single track, or even adjust volume on a single track...when you try to adjust the vol of one track it just does all of them....I thought maybe I accidentally grouped all the channels? or selected them? nope...so irritating...I just want to edit some simple mother fucking videos...I'm not making fucking star wars .....

There a preference option to change spacebar to play/pause. Also to go frame by frame with audio/video there are hot keys and UI buttons you can add.

You can add fx to video channel - so all clips on that channel will be effected.

Ive used Sony Vegas for years and one let down thats keeps on showing every version is the lack of ability to color grade.

I despise Vegas Video. It's fun to use while it works, but it crashes nearly every time I use it. The worst part? It wants to show me an ad when it does. Adobe never crashes on my system.

Learning curves can be tough to climb. Setting in and out points for importing media can be done in a "trimmer" window. You're right in that the color grading plugin can only be applied to clips, but isn't that how Resolve works too? I absolutely LOVE the auto-crossfade feature in Vegas, and if Resolve had it, I would seriously consider switching. As far as rending speed, there are many variables at play. I just build a new computer a couple of months ago, and I can render out H.265 video at 4x normal speed, with color correction and other effects applied.

you could actually fix the play the timeline then stops when the video begins so you have to open preferences then you should see a checkbox list of features you will see make space and f12 key to play the timeline or the preview I used to hate that annoying thing but you could fix it

It needs much more and modern transitions (hyper zoom in/out etc those barn doors are older than my grandma. Second and a big pet peeve when you use the markers and then edit the clip the markers don't move with the edited clip so you have to reorganize ALL the markers if you edit one section of the timeline and use auto ripple to close the gaps, the markers don't move in sync. Render times need to improve yes, crashes on more than one timeline needs to improve but latest version of 18 is much better than previous versions that's for sure. I'm excited to see hat Vegas Pro 19 and 20 will bring.

I've known about Sony Vegas for twenty years. Me hearing about resolve....isn't that some kind of cleaner?

Vegas post has a audio editor built into Vegas pro that allows you to scrub audio frame by frame.

I use movie studio which is just a smaller version of this, with a few less features. it uses the same exact software and even on really poor hardware it can take me 2 minutes to render a 1-minute video. I have no idea how it's taking you 40 minutes to render that

Vegas Pro can do some compositing, it's just not as advanced as most dedicated compositors. You can for example: rotoscope, color key, position in 3D space, and change blending modes.

I was going to buy vegas post suite but my last one i had was movie studio 15. Do you happen to know if I get vegas post suite if they will give me vegas pro 18 in the upgrade because it doesn't say when I'm about to buy

you can drag tue color grade effect to the bars on the left on the layer you want and it does all the clips in the layer

That function of asking to change the frame rate of a video dragged into the timeline to the project's is also standard in Filmora.

THANK U for the video dude helps alot but i got one question is the engine for vegas better then before or the same .. like if 4 video played together would it start to lag
