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 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 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 the edit point while the media is
playing, creating a highly precise, interactive editing experience.
Powerful effect and compositing engineCombine 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 interchangeImport 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 NewBlueFXCreate 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 performance64-bit operating systems are the
best choice for high-end performance. By focusing exclusively on 64-bit
operating systems, 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 editingCreate 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 controlAccess 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 supportVegas 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™ authoringBurn 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 MainConcept 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.
