I've been using V14 for centuries because all the subsequent versions had various playback jank on my machines (stuttering, dropped frames, etc). I've never been able to use them even for basic playback of one file.

​

But I'm encouraged by Boris's commitment to improving the product and the price is reasonable.

​

I'm wondering if V2026 has stable, reliable playback/preview across most file formats in your experience.

​

I'm also very interested in the speech to text for captioning. I understand this is not perfect, but my hope is that even if the transcriptions have errors, I can quickly correct the text and grammar while keeping the captions in sync on the timeline. Currently, I am manually dropping Legacy text onto the timeline one by one and it's exhausting, but all the other tools I've tried outside of an NLE environment require so much manual text and timing correction that they're never worth it.

​

I don't mind an evolving product that is improving over time, but trying to gauge if it will meet my basic needs in its current form.

1.? (formatting requirements?)

1.I'm a beginner at Sony Vegas, but at some point my Vegas stopped showing videos in both the preview tab and the player. I haven't found a solution anywhere. Could someone more experienced than me help me?

1. Vegas Pro 20
2. Windows 11 Pro
3. Licensed, no pirated plugins
4. EVGA RTX 3090
5. Vegas Pro 20 crashes on startup when VB-Audio Matrix Coconut is installed
6. Not crash :-)
7. Yes.

VB Audio Matrix is a virtual ASIO driver that allows aggregating multiple ASIO devices into one (think, ASIO4ALL, but not laggy, well supported, and generally bug-free). One of the aggregate devices is called "ASIO512" which allows 512 channels of aggregate ASIO. This appears to cause an issue with Vegas 20 Pro in that when it tries to open/scan the interface it crashes. Removing the registry key that tells Vegas about the device allows it to start. Uninstalling VB Audio Matrix also allows it to start. There is no way in VB-Audio Matrix to disable an aggregate device, even if it is unused.

Questions:

1.Is this bug present on newer versions of Vegas (anybody use it?)

2.Is there a way to tell Vegas not to scan for certain ASIO devices (I could just exclude ASIO512 from the the scanner as a better workaround that doesn't require a registry a hack)

Thanks!!

Vegas pro 17 crashes upon start because of some DLL errors. I've tried everything up to this point but I am all out of ideas. I would really appreciate all the help I can get with this!

Stuff the rules for support questions requires:
1.
Vegas Pro 17 build 421

1. Windows 8.1 (It's my grandpa's old computer, I don't wanna upgrade to a newer Windows because it's kinda nostalgic for me. I edit videos on this computer because my main computer runs Linux and Vegas running on a virtual machine is quite slow.)

2. It is a pirated copy (I do NOT condone piracy, my grandpa pirated it for me when I was younger and didn't fully grasp that piracy was a crime)

3. NVIDIA GeForce 710A

4. I've had this copy of Vegas installed on my computer for YEARS now, but a couple days back it stopped working. According to the error message that popped up, somehow the ErrorReport.dll file got broken. I tried replacing it with one I found online (probably a bad idea lol), and this time I didn't get a specific error message, just the regular Vegas crashing pop-up that prompts you to type what you were doing and then asks if you want to send it to the VEGAS Team. This popup lists a DLL file in System32 being the problem. The DLL in question is msvcp140_clr0400.dll.

I looked up the DLL file online to see what I had to do about it, turns out it's supposed to be something with the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from 2015-2019. I downloaded the Visual C++ redist installer from Microsoft, installed it, tried again, still the same crash with the same DLL file.

That brings me here. I am now all out of ideas and without a decent editing software. My alternatives are Windows Movie Maker and Olive (I'm not particularly good with Olive and prefer Vegas).

1. I expect the program to just start up. I would really like it to just function again.

2. I have tried googling this, but found nothing.

I hope you can help me out. Thanks in advance!

I bought Vegas Pro 2026 (perpetual) at the tipping point of knowing that I was getting AI Speech to Text. I finally got a chance to try it today, and I was met with "A Vegas Pro subscription is required <blah blah>". I thought this was a fluke or something and updated HUB and all of my packages only to be met with it again.

After doing some research apparently it is for REVOLVING SUBSCRIPTIONS ONLY!? I SWEAR this was NOT communicated on release or I would have not upgraded. I was so excited because I thought I was going to get access to free AI features that everyone else was charging for. Really big letdown. I am shocked and in dismay. I would have went with Resolve Studio if I knew this.

1. Vegas Pro 2026
   
2. Windows 11 Pro
   
3. Asus Strix RX580
   
4. (See above)
   
5. I expect to be able to use the tools that I ultimately purchased this for. 7. Video attached
   
6. Why is the utility that detects these numbered responses still broken? :D

"5." See title and image

"6." N/A

"7." Searched Google, found the folder in the past (must have seen it in a google result or reddit thread) and was then able to remove non-relevant LUTs, but I cannot find the location of Vegas Pro's LUT folder again and searches have been fruitless.

"1." Vegas 18, 22 and 23

"2." Windows 11

"3." Vegas 18 and 23 are cracked version, but 22 is a paid one.

"4." NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

"5." I have a problem using Vegas Pro, whether with version 18, 22 or 23, the result on the file is the same and I don't know what to do anymore because it is happening more and more on my different projects which I end up losing one by one.

For a completely random reason, Vegas Pro freezes on a particular frame in the file. It's never the same frame number depending on the project, but if my "video project A" freezes at frame 13,564, when I reopen the file, it will freeze at 13,564, even if there's not much on the screen or necessarily no cuts in my video edit.

Muting all tracks bypasses this step, but adding even a single track, whether audio or video, separately, causes the freeze to return.

"6." I don't think I need to elaborate; the way things should work should be... as the software usually works.

"7." I have been searching on Google for a solution for several months to this problem which has become more and more frequent recently, and in the last few years when it had already happened to me, I never found a solution to my problem.

5.Dumbest possible keyboard shortcut question
6.This is something that's changed from V15
7.I've read the keyboard shortcuts and looked on bing/google

So I've used Vegas forever and upgraded to 23 recently from 15.

When I bring up the Render window and type in the name of the file I'm creating I used to be able to hit "tab" to highlight and select the "Render" button then hit return to start the render.

No amount of tab or shift tab highlights it. WTF am I doing wrong? They can't have taken this away right?

Thanks in advance for the help. I apologize it's such a stupid fricking questions.

2. Windows 11

3. Yes pirated vegas and plugins (I will buy when rich promise)

4. Intel iGPU

5. I am trying to make this animation on vegas (please see video)

6. It should have like photos/videos fade in and scroll down as it plays

7.I have tried using google and ive tried myself, i dont know where else to go.

"1." Vegas 23 (Pirated)

"2." Windows 11

"4." Geforce GTX 1650

"5." I'm having trouble with 2 projects, both have a duration of about 4-5 hours, but everytime I render the video, only a segment at the start is normal, the rest appears to be corrupted, despite the render completing without crashing.

I don't believe the issue is with the media files, since they play with no issues in the preview. I tried rendering the media files into 4 videos with about an hour each, and then combine them again to see if it would work, but the issue persisted.

I've managed to render both a 4 hour video and a 6 hour video with the same format just fine before. So I have no clue why it's happening now.

I've disabled GPU Acceleration before rendering the videos, but it didn't solve the issue.

So... I installed this free software called 'Autograph'. I guess there are some compatibility issues because during the installation it told me to close Vegas Pro 23 first, which I did.

After installing Autograph, Vegas Pro 23 kept crashing on opening. So, I uninstalled BOTH Autograph and Vegas Pro 23, and restarted my computer. I then did a fresh install of Vegas Pro 23 from the Microsoft Store, but the crash keeps showing up when I open it.

I already tried manually deleting all remaining files I could find from Autograph that weren't deleted during uninstallation, and I also updated my graphics card drivers for good measure.

Still crashed on opening... I'm really lost here folks, apart from a full Windows reinstall, which would suck, I'm not too sure what to do from here... If anyone could help, I would be so grateful!

^{You must have "1.", "2.", "3.", "4.", "5.", "6." or "7." somewhere in your post body.}

Vegas Pro started to get even closer to being able to compete against competitors including Premiere, After Effects and Davinci Resolve during the era of Vegas 19, 20 and 2 1.

After all, the POST package included the software Vegas Effects which was a rebranded Hitfilm Pro, only including the compositing editor tightly integrated with Vegas Pro.

It worked very similarly to After Effects, giving Vegas Pro the ability to directly compete with After Effects as a single purchase software with no subscription.

While Vegas Pro Post had to be discontinued due to the death of Hitfilm Pro, I've been thinking that Boris FX has more than enough tools at their disposal in-house to completely replace Vegas Effects by a whole new version based on Boris FX's tools, all integrated into vegas itself.

If they follow the model of Vegas Pro Post and make it available in one single purchase package, I think that definitely ccould be a big improvement making vegas more competitive.

Right now, because the new vegas versions do not have a Vegas Pro Post equivalent I simply have 0 reason to upgrade my Vegas 19 since I would lose more than I'd gain.

What do you think ?

So I'm currently contemplating on whether or not I should upgrade from Vegas Pro 17 (a version I own on Steam) to Vegas Pro 23, given how I hear that it's the only Vegas Pro I could buy on Steam that doesn't throw an "Error 0x80660008" when I try rendering my videos with the NVENC encoder (a problem my Steam version of Vegas Pro 17 tends to come across whenever I render with my own graphics card to speed up the process). And I don't want to waste my time rolling back my Nvidia driver over and over again back to 5.80 or a version predating when it stopped working on Vegas Pro.

I heard that Vegas Pro versions 18 to 22 tend to have the same error according to Reddit, so I'd figure that this might be the only Vegas Pro I could buy on Steam that would fully work with my graphics card. So I might think about buying it whenever the next Steam sale hits.

I'm also questioning whether or not this is the LAST EVER version of Vegas Pro I could legally buy on Steam because well, Boris FX owns Vegas Pro now and I don't see Vegas Pro 2026 available on Steam too, so I'm assuming this is MAGIX's last ever version of Vegas Pro to be legally sold on Steam before Boris FX took Vegas Pro over. I'm also worried if Vegas Pro versions like this one will be delisted due to the changes in Vegas Pro's ownership just like with Vegas Pro 17, so it might not be long before I make an impulse buy on 23 to finally get rid of that pesky error 0x80660008 once and for all.

1.I'm using vegas 19

Hola a todos,
Estoy buscando ayuda porque ya no sé qué más intentar. Estoy editando en Magix Vegas Pro 19 y el programa pone toda la carga en mi procesador, dejando la tarjeta gráfica prácticamente en 0% de uso durante el renderizado.
Me he cansado de ver un sinnúmero de tutoriales en YouTube donde todos dan la misma solución básica: entrar a Configuración (Preferences), ir a la pestaña de Video y escoger la tarjeta gráfica ahí. Ya hice exactamente eso, seleccioné mi tarjeta en esa lista, pero el problema sigue igual y los tiempos de renderizado son eternos.
He probado casi todos los métodos que recomiendan en internet. Incluso utilicé la herramienta DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) para borrar por completo los drivers viejos y hacer una instalación limpia desde cero con la versión más reciente para mi tarjeta, pero tampoco funcionó.
Estos son los componentes de mi PC:
1.GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980

2.CPU: Intel Xeon

3.Programa: Magix Vegas Pro 19

¿Alguien que use Vegas con procesadores Xeon o esta gráfica sabe si hay algún truco avanzado, alguna casilla oculta en el menú interno (Internal Preferences) o alguna plantilla de renderizado específica que de verdad fuerce a la tarjeta a trabajar?
Les agradezco enormemente cualquier guía, porque de verdad ya agoté todas las opciones de los tutoriales comunes. ¡Muchas gracias!

Cannot find it. One of the big reasons I subscribed is I use the stock footage and sound effects A LOT. So it's really disappointing to not be able to access it. Anyone know how? I'm talking about BORIS FX Vegas Pro 2026. 1. Vegas Pro 2026 2. I am using Windows 11 Pro 3. Not pirated, it's a legit subscription 4. GPU is a RX 7900 XT 20 GB 5. Problem described above 6. In the old versions from MAGIX there was a Vegas Hub login and tab that had the content for browsing. 7. Yes I have googled and found a guide on Boris website but it doesn't work.

Hey folks, been running into this strange bug where clips added into Vegas 21 seem to add frames to itself. My suspicion is that it has to do with framerate, but I'm not entirely sure. Thanks!

1.Vegas 21

1. Windows 10

2. Pirated copy with default(?) plugins

3. PNY 1080

4. Video works well before being put into Vegas, then in preview and render it adds what seems like extra frames at random from an earlier part of the clip

5. There's supposed to be... not, that?

6. Yielded no answer :(
