For this reason, the use of Vegas is restricted only for post-production audio or for the Video NLE market. Master output effects can also be controlled and manipulated over time by the use of Master Bus track automation envelopes.Īlthough Vegas started as an Audio Multitrack NLE, it has no MIDI capability at all (with the exception of control-desk and synchronization). Moreover, track level and output level effects, such as reverb, delay, and flange, are applied in a digital audio system, like Pro Tools, Cubase or Sonar. Effects can be applied at any stage of the visual signal flow or event level. Many of the visual effects processing in Vegas follow an audio-like paradigm.

In the areas of compositing and motion graphics, Vegas provides a 3D track motion with control over z-depth and spatial arrangement of visual planes, including plane intersection. Vegas does not require any specialized hardware to run properly, allowing it to operate on any Windows computer that meets the system requirements. On May 24, 2016, Sony announced that Vegas was sold to MAGIX, which formed VEGAS Creative Software, to continue support and development of the software. The software was originally published by Sonic Foundry until May 2003, when Sony purchased Sonic Foundry and formed Sony Creative Software. Vegas Pro features real-time multitrack video and audio editing on unlimited tracks, resolution-independent video sequencing, complex effects, compositing tools, 24-bit/192 kHz audio support, VST and DirectX plug-in effect support, and Dolby Digital surround sound mixing. Originally developed as audio editing software, it became an NLE for video and audio, starting from version 2.0. The software runs on Windows operating systems. The first release of Vegas Beta was on June 11, 1999. Vegas Pro (stylized as VEGAS Pro, colloquially called Sony Vegas) is a video editing software package for non-linear editing (NLE).
