Innovative editing toolsEdit 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 13 interface provides an impressive array of 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.

Powerful effects and compositing engines
Combine up to 32 high-quality, keyframeable effects per effects chain and apply them at the event, track, media or project level. Vegas Pro 13 uses an advanced plug-in architecture based on the OpenFX standard to assure compatibility with hundreds of cutting-edge effects designed by leading video effects VFX developers. Parent/child tracks and 2D and 3D modes provide a powerful, flexible and sophisticated compositing environment. Shape Masking tools and FX Masking make panning, cropping and targeted effects treatments easy. The Color Match plug-in along with a wide range of other color-correction tools enable you to quickly match color characteristics from one clip to another.

Project interchange

Project Interchange can convert between native .veg files and AAF for Avid ProTools, XML for Apple Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X (export only), DaVinci Resolve 10 and .prproj for Adobe Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC.

Multithreaded audio engine
Vegas Pro 13 software takes advantage of multicore and hyper-threading computer systems to maximize available hardware resources. By leveraging the full capabilities of the hardware and reducing direct CPU load, you will notice:

@ Greater number of tracks and audio/video effects for real-time preview
@ Improved performance at lower latencies
@ Faster audio render times

Extensive video and audio support
DVD Architect Pro software supports today's popular video and audio formats such as AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and AVCHD so you can make a DVD or Blu-ray Disc that will play on almost any DVD/BD player or DVD/BD-capable computer.
