Unparalleled video editing power
Fast, flexible, and feature-rich, Vegas Pro 11 software is ideal for digital video production, streaming content creation, broadcast production, and more.
New! Text tools
Two new titling tools have been added to the Vegas Pro 11 toolkit. Add 3D titles with NewBlue Titler Pro; a great addition to your stereoscopic 3D workflow. Move characters on the X, Y, and Z axes, create lower thirds, and quickly add stylized text animations that shake, smear, and reflect. Quickly add 2D motion to text events with the new Titles & Text tool. Select from a list of animated presets that can be applied to any project with a simple drag and drop. Or create your own professional-looking 2D titles with the ProType Titler, which has been improved for simpler timeline interaction.
New! Image stabilization enhancements
Use image stabilization technology to reduce jitter and shaky video footage. Users with video footage shot from handheld camcorders, and without the assistance of a tripod, will have the ability to quickly salvage this media using several optimized presets. The improved image stabilization technology independently analyzes movement on the X, Y, and Z camera axes, providing tremendous precision and incredibly smooth results. The stabilization tool also includes automatic rolling-shutter correction of the jello/skew/wobble effects caused by some CMOS camcorders.
Multicam editing
Edit multicamera productions intuitively and efficiently by specifying shots as you play back your project. Switch between as many as 32 video sources with a keyboard command or a click of your mouse. Vegas Pro 11 software keeps all unused shots so you can easily expand a multicamera track into component events, making it easier to see which videos are in the Vegas project and refine the edits.
Rich effects workflow
Apply video and audio effects at multiple levels in your project in order to gain significant control during the editing process. Apply video effects at the media level, event level, track level, to the entire project, or all tracks and events at the preview level. Audio effects can be applied at the event level, track level, bus, and master bus level. In addition, you can use keyframe envelopes to control the parameters of the applied effects over time.
Enhanced video plug-in architecture
The new Video Effects Plug-In SDK (Software Developer's Kit), based on the Open Effects Association platform, provides updated and enhanced technology that enables third-party plug-in providers to develop advanced video effect plug-ins more easily and rapidly. These additional plug-ins offer Vegas Pro 11 editors a wider variety of effects and special techniques for creating high-quality results.
Industry-leading multi-format editing
Vegas Pro 11 improves on its ground-breaking "no transcode, no re-wrap" heritage by adding native format support for stereoscopic 3D MVC and MPO files from Sony camcorders and DSLRs. By eliminating the transcode and re-wrap process required by some competitors, Vegas Pro 11 users can save valuable production time, minimize storage requirements, and preserve the pristine quality of the original source material. Other natively-supported codecs and formats include XDCAM®, XDCAM EX, NXCAM™, HDCAM-SR™, AVCCAM, RED® R3D, AVCHD, and AVC-based MOV files from popular DSLR cameras. Native P2 support is also available with an optional plug-in.
Keyframeable real-time effects
Vegas Pro 11 software includes video effects, along with 2D and 3D video transitions to enrich your movies. All of the video effects are keyframeable, which means you can select the exact video frames where an effect begins and ends. You can even specify the level of effect for every frame in between. To see your effects and transitions in action, Vegas Pro 11 software enables you to preview effects and transitions in real time at full resolution on your computer monitor or on a secondary monitor.
New! Sync Link
This powerful editing feature enables users to easily organize and synchronize events on the timeline during editing. "Child" clips associated with a "Parent" clip can be moved independently on the timeline, while moving the Parent clip also moves the child clips in perfect sync.
4K support
Vegas Pro 11 software natively supports frame sizes up to 4096x4096. The 4K image standard for digital cinema projection is 4096 x 2160 pixels. This level of resolution provides more detail and flexibility to pan and crop. It is ideal for compositing and video effects work, as it provides a high-quality final output. Vegas Pro 11 software also natively supports RED ONE® and RED EPIC® files. Open and edit .r3d files directly on the timeline.
