Unmatched Video Editing Power

Fast, flexible, and feature-rich, Vegas Pro 9 software is ideal for standard definition and high-definition digital video production, streaming content creation, broadcast production, and more.

4K Support New!

Vegas Pro 9 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 9 software also natively supports RED ONE™ files. You can open and edit .r3d files directly on the timeline as you would any other video file.

Multitrack Video Editing on Unlimited Tracks

There is no limit to the number of video and audio tracks you can use in a Vegas Pro project—nothing to impede your creativity or stop you from reaching your fullest potential.

Sophisticated Lighting Effects New!

Vegas Pro 9 includes over 190 customizable video effects including a new collection of sophisticated lighting effects. New in version 9 are Glint, Rays, Defocus, Starburst, Soft Contrast, and Fill Light. These affects let you simulate the effect of light streaming in from behind your source, create colored highlights, change the focus of your shot and more. Click here for samples

Multicamera Workflow

Edit multicamera productions intuitively and quickly by specifying shots as you watch your project. Switch between as many as 32 video sources with a keyboard command or a click of your mouse. Vegas Pro 9 software keeps all unused shots as alternate takes to make fine-tuning your edits more efficient.

32-Bit Floating Point Video Processing Enhanced!

Work in 8-bit mode for speed, then switch to 32-bit floating point for extra precision during final rendering with no level changes or contrast changes. This mode allows you to take advantage of greater color range for more vivid colors, reduced gradient banding and posterization for smoother color transitions, linear light capability for optically correct compositing, and many other precision enhancements.

Resolution Independent

Vegas Pro 9 software supports any aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9, etc.). Edit on 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 or 30 fps timelines. Use video in different sizes and frame-rates all on the same project or on the same track. No conversion is necessary. Render Vegas Pro projects out to just about any resolution.

ProType Titler

Create animated text effects with splined paths, per-character animation, and advanced curves. Add shadows, glows, blurs, and gradients for unique text treatments. The ProType Titler supports Unicode and TrueType fonts, as well as OpenType fonts with kerning pairs, alternate styles, bidirectional text, ligatures, custom kerning, and more.

Digital Signage Support

Digital signage support in Vegas Pro 9 software makes it easy to author video for tall signage purposes. To shoot content for these displays, many tripods have a 90-degree camera-tilt option. With Vegas Pro 9 software you can edit in this format with a "Rotation" setting in the video tab of Project Properties, as well as a "Rotation" setting in the Media Properties dialog (and related rotation commands in the Project Media item context menu). In addition to fast and easy rotation of source media, Vegas Pro 9 software can un-rotate the project output to render to existing widescreen formats, for playback on rotated displays.

Powerful Color Correction and Matching Tools

Use 3-Wheel Primary and comprehensive Secondary Color Correction filters to adjust differences in video from different camera setups or lighting situations; enhance dull, washed out footage; or make specific color ranges stand out. All edits can instantly be analyzed on four scopes: Vectorscope, Waveform, Parade and Histogram. Changes are immediately viewable on an external monitor via i.LINK® connector*/IEEE-1394 devices.

Vectorscope, Waveform, Histogram, and Parade Video Scopes

Accurately measure the color, black and whites of video, and locate illegal chroma and luma levels so you can fix them prior to output. View levels in real time as they play back in the preview window or on an external monitor.

Comprehensive AVCHD and HDV Support

Vegas Pro 9 software includes support for high-performance native HDV M2T playback, and 601/709 color space handling. Experience superior SD downconversion and frame-rate conversion including 24p, and precision upconversion for HD-SDI mastering. Vegas Pro 9 software also has powerful no-recompress technology for faster render times on select formats.

SD/HD-SDI Support

Support for AJA Xena cards allows you to capture, edit, monitor, and print-to-tape using SDI (serial digital interface) and component SD and HD decks.

Customizable Video Transitions

Use over 175 2D and 3D real time transitions, including Barndoor, Clock Wipe, Dissolves, Iris, Linear Wipes, Page Peels, Venetian Blinds, Zooms, 3D Fly In/Out, 3D Shuffle and more. All transitions are customizable and can be keyframed to change over the length of each fade or overlap.

Envelope Brush "Paint" Tool

The envelope brush tool in Vegas Pro 9 software makes it possible to "paint" an envelope curve over time by holding down the shift key. This is a quick way to outline the general shape of an envelope without placing and modifying many distinct points. Once you rough in your envelope, the auto thinning feature approximates the drawn curve with as few points as possible. These points can then be further adjusted.

Red-Eye Reduction

Quickly eliminate red-eye from still images without leaving the Vegas Pro environment.

Multiprocessor Support

Vegas Pro 9 software takes advantage of cutting-edge parallel processing architectures, significantly reducing complex project-render times on multiprocessor, HT, and multicore systems.

Transition Progress Envelopes

Transition progress envelopes in Vegas Pro 9 software provide full keyframeable control over all transition attributes across the length of an event overlap. Create customizable fades or reverse, hold and repeat individual transitions. Precise customization of transitions in Vegas Pro 9 software provides new levels of creative flexibility.

3D Track Motion

Create 3D motion effects with precise control over Z-depth, plane intersection, compositing and more. The Vegas Pro 9 track grouping model allows multiple tracks to move and rotate in 3D space. 3D motion occurs in real time and is instantly previewable via i.LINK connector*/IEEE-1394 hardware to external monitor.

Enhanced Video Monitoring

Next-generation monitoring tools allow full screen timeline playback to LCD and CRT secondary displays via component or DVI connections, with support for scaling, de-interlacing, and color profiles. Additionally, Vegas Pro 9 software supports timeline monitoring using AJA cards, at all supported resolutions.

Keyframeable Bezier masks

Produce keyframeable Bezier masks for complicated objects. Bezier curves let you closely track object outlines to mask and keyframe shape and motion changes over time. Create depth-of-field effects, apply color correction to specific areas of a clip, crop surrounding source material and create mask overlays. Multiple animated free-form shapes can be created in a single window, with mask invert control for each object. Feather and blend hard edges, set opacity levels for each layer, and zoom the workspace to the sub-pixel level for extremely accurate Bezier mask creation.

Subtitle Time and Text Export to DVD Architect Pro Software

With Vegas Pro 9 software it's easy to make subtitles for use in DVD Architect Pro software. Create named regions in Vegas software, export the list as a text file using the provided script, then import the file into DVD Architect Pro software to auto-generate frame-accurate subtitles. Translated files can also be used as alternate language subtitles in a DVD Architect Pro project.

Support for Multiple File Formats and Frame Rates

Use multiple file formats and frame rates in the same project or on the same track, and crossfade them on the same track roll — all without conversion or rendering.

MPEG-2 Support

Vegas Pro 9 software provides high-quality MPEG-2 encoding for DVD, broadcast and other delivery targets. Capabilities include 2-pass variable bit rate encoding, 4:2:2 High profile/Main level, and Transport stream support.

24p Support: DV, XDCAM MXF, and HD-SD

With native support for 24p, Vegas Pro 9 software allows you to capture, edit, and render 24p for DV, XDCAM MXF, HD-SDI and more. Export 24p MPEG-2 for use in DVD Architect, create 24p DV, XDCAM HD and HDCAM masters, or create 24p files for conversion to film.
