Unmatched Video Editing Power
Fast, flexible, and feature-rich, Vegas Pro 8 software is ideal for standard definition and high-definition digital video production, streaming content creation, broadcast production, and more.
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.
Multicamera Workflow New!
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 8 software keeps all unused shots as alternate takes to make fine-tuning your edits more efficient.
32-Bit Floating Point Video Processing New!
Surpass traditional 10-bit standards with 32-bit floating point video processing. 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 software supports any aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9, etc.). Edit on 23.976, native 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 projects out to just about any resolution.
Create animated text effects with splined paths, per-character animation, and advanced curves. Add shadows, glows, blurs, and gradients for unique text treatments. 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 New!
New digital signage support in Vegas Pro 8 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 8 software you can now edit in this format with a new "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 8 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 HDV Support
Vegas Pro 8 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 8 software also has powerful no-recompress technology for faster render times.
