Vegas Pro 12 overview:
Vegas™ Pro 12 is an integrated, forward-thinking production environment designed for a new generation
of creative professionals. Combining a familiar track-based timeline with hundreds of thoughtful workflow
innovations, Vegas Pro 12 is a refreshing, modern approach to post-production. Supporting more formats,
more workflows, and more creative control than ever before, Vegas Pro 12 makes it easy to deliver your
message and express your artistic vision.
Innovative editing tools
Edit SD, HD, 2K and 4K material in 2D or stereoscopic 3D, with drag-and-drop functionality or traditional
3-point and 4-point editing modes. The Vegas Pro 12 interface provides an impressive array innovative
tools and thoughtful touches, with a fully customizable workspace for accomplishing a wide range of
production tasks. Nest Vegas Pro projects within the timeline, customize and save keyboard commands,
and use application scripting to automate repetitive tasks. The new Expanded Edit Mode temporarily
splits the track at the edit point and enables you to dynamically add or remove frames from either side of t
he edit point while the media is playing, creating a highly precise, interactive editing experience.
Powerful effect and compositing engine
Combine up to 32 high-quality, keyframeable effects per Effects Chain and apply them at the Event,
Track, Media, or Project level. Vegas Pro 12 uses an advanced plug-in architecture based on the
OpenFX standard, for hundreds of optional effects from leading visual effects plug-in VFX developers.
Parent-Child tracks and sophisticated 2D and 3D compositing modes provide a powerful, flexible effects
environment. Shape Masking tools and FX Masking capabilities are new for Vegas Pro 12, along with the
Color Match plug-in, to quickly match the color characteristics from one clip to another.
Project interchange
Import and export a wide range of project files to and from Vegas Pro 12. The built-in software can
convert between the native .veg file and AAF, for Avid® ProTools®, XML for Apple® Final Cut Pro® 7,
Final Cut Pro X (export only) and DaVinci Resolve 8, and .prproj for Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS6 and
After Effects® CS6.
Titler Pro 1.0 from NewBlueFX
Create high-quality titles with Titler Pro 1.0, a full-featured titling application from NewBlueFX. Titler
Pro enables users to add animations, professional-style templates, and effects to their title sequences.
Work in real-time with GPU-accelerated effects and transitions, and easily move text on the X, Y, and Z
axes within the Vegas Pro 12 workspace. With 2D and 3D capabilities, Titler Pro 1.0 is the perfect
addition to the stereoscopic 3D toolset.
Designed for performance
64-bit operating systems are the best choice for high-end performance. By focusing exclusively on 64-bit
operating systems like Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit, Vegas Pro 12 overcomes many of
the limitations of legacy 32-bit software/hardware architecture, enabling users to enjoy superior
performance and improved stability for memory-intensive projects and formats.
Working with OpenCL™ supported devices from AMD and NVIDIA, Vegas Pro 12 leverages GPU
acceleration for video FX, transitions, compositing, pan/crop, track motion and encoding, providing a
significantly faster workflow. GPU acceleration streamlines the video editing experience in Vegas Pro 12
by providing playback performance gains and faster rendering times, ideal for industry professionals who
work on tight deadlines where every second counts.
Stereoscopic 3D editing
Create breathtaking stereoscopic 3D projects with the same ease and agility as the Vegas Pro 2D
workflow. Vegas Pro 12 provides the ability to easily import, adjust, edit, preview, and output
stereoscopic 3D media — all using industry-standard professional delivery formats including single or
dual files with side-by-side, top/bottom, or line-alternate encoding. Anaglyphic monitoring and output are
also supported. Stereoscopic Auto-Pairing allows bulk pairing of stereoscopic 3D subclips on the timeline,
with the ability to automatically pair stereoscopic 3D media created with the Sony PMW-TD300 or a pair
of PMW-F3 cameras using the 3D Link feature.
Superior audio control
Access unlimited audio tracks, 24-bit/192 kHz audio, punch-in recording, 5.1 surround mixing, effects
automation, and time compress/expand, while applying customizable, real-time audio effects like EQ,
Reverb, Delay, and more. Expand your audio processing and mixing options with supported third-party
DirectX® and VST audio plug-ins. Vegas Pro 12 includes support for new 64-bit versions of Sony's
Noise Reduction 2.0, Wave Hammer, Acoustic Mirror, and more. Use the Mixing Console for precise
audio control, with sample-based accuracy.
Broad format support
Vegas Pro pioneered the concept of format-native editing, and the latest version continues that legacy
by supporting today's most popular camcorder formats including XDCAM™, NXCAM, AVCHD,
HDCAM SR™, DSLR h.264 QuickTime® and RED®. New for version 12 is support for Panasonic P2
DVCPRO and AVC-Intra media. Projects can now be encoded to HDCAM SR MXF files, for pristine
quality edit masters.
Powerful Blu-ray Disc™ authoring
Burn movies to Blu-ray Disc directly from the Vegas Pro 12 timeline for high-definition delivery. Use
DVD Architect Pro software (included with the Vegas Pro 12 collection) to author DVD or Blu-ray Disc
projects with subtitles, multiple languages, and numerous playback menus. Preview and test your work in
real time. Import layered Photoshop® .PSD files for buttons and other graphic elements. The Main
Concept AVC encoder now supports variable bit rates up to 40 Mbps and average bit rate of 25 Mbps,
for better HD quality than ever before.
