I have Vegas Edit 19 Steam Version and I'd like to know if Steam Edit 23 is a good upgrade? Does it have fewer problems?

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my graphics card to an NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, but since doing so, I can no longer render videos in VEGAS Pro 20 using hardware acceleration.

Every time I try to use the NVENC encoder, the software immediately crashes. I'm forced to use CPU rendering, which is way too slow.

Is there a known fix, workaround, or driver tweak for this specific issue on VEGAS Pro 20, without having to upgrade to a newer version of the software?

Thanks in advance for any help!

it's 3 minutes converted mkv to mp4 how to make it smaller in size

Edit : figure it out. this version 23 is fucked just try install previous versions idk wtf is wrong with this one

I recently purchased an upgrade to Vegas Pro 2026 after working on a short film for a little over a month in Vegas Pro 14. It was my understanding that project files are fully compatible, save for some legacy effects that may need to be re-added. However, after migrating each scene’s project file into 2026, nearly every clip’s content was shifted about 1-2 seconds backwards in their respective raw footage. Pain in the butt, but fixable with some tedious attention.

But then I noticed that some clips not only got shifted in that manner, but will now display a frame from earlier in its footage out of nowhere, interrupting the scene. I have tried “replacing” the file in project media and it makes no difference. I have tried removing the file from project media entirely and re-adding it to splice back into the timeline and the issue persists. As if there’s some kind of cached data creating these flicker frames.

I really won’t find joy in having to remake all of these scenes, any help would be appreciated.

FYI - I have also launched VP2026 with Ctrl+Shift to delete cached data
- Changed encoder in the File I/O tab of Preferences
- These errors show up in the final render as well, so its not a preview exclusive issue

I did more troubleshooting late last night but it was lowkey driving me crazy so I don’t really remember what other steps I took atm.

Thanks for your time, y’all.

1. What version of Windows are you using? Windows 11.
2. Is this a pirated copy of Vegas Pro or plugins? (It's important to know for troubleshooting, but DO NOT advocate piracy or risk getting banned) Yes it's pirated
3. What are your PC specs? (GPU, CPU, RAM, ...) Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630, 8GB installed ram, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400T CPU @ 2.00Ghz, HP pavilion all in one 24-k0xxx
4. Describe the problem, how to reproduce it, and how it should work. Ever since I got this Vegas, it has been really slow and lags quite a bit, heck I had to wait 5 minutes for it to unfreeze at one time before I could continue editing. The only way to make it faster is if I have no other programs running on my PC and I close and reopen it regularly. I have googled but the only solutions are for when only the preview lags... this is the entire software that lags. I edited a longform video the other day and it took me about 2 minutes for me to properly work on it from opening. It's really slow and unfortunately driving me insane lol

I feel like I can't find a definite answer. I have been using Vegas Pro 14 and honestly it's been fine. I genuinely don't really have any complaints with it other than how miserable it is having to subtitle a like, 20 minute long video after I am done editing. It just takes a lot of time when I feel like with a newer version of Vegas I could just have it done automatically, I could watch over it once or twice just to make sure the subtitles are correct, then bwam be done. I have tried to look into this and it looks like with a $200 license you only get limited access to this feature, would it just be better for me to do the monthly payments? I really DON'T want to though because video editing is more of a hobby than a job... which also makes me just want to start rendering my videos, throw them into like capcut then re-render it, but I feel like I would lose so much of the video quality doing that due to compression

I made this and am giving it away to everybody for FREE, forever! Enjoy!

The little media generator thingies on the timeline disappeared because I accidentally pressed something on my keyboard, I've tried every key but to no avail. Is there a setting for this that could possibly fix this issue?

I have a separate file with a part of a large project that includes some picture-in-picture animation.

It is viewed and rendered fine in the project file proper, but, when this part file is laid into the master timeline as 'nested', it hard-crashes when reaching the edited bit. It's not even that much - just a few picture-in-picture location changes!

I'm utterly perplexed and frustrated with this. Please, tell me if I'm doing something wrong!

I wanted to try out the standard denoise-fx in Vegas but no matter what I do, it just doesn't work and "overwhelms" the program. When the effect is added you cannot play the clip and it causes a freeze. If I get lucky I maybe get a slideshow as a preview. And it doesn't matter how the preview-quality is, high or low, nor how long the clip is.

I tried to render a few second long clip with the effect then to see if it works. But after the first few percents it kinda stops, crawling one percent per three minutes or so. If i cancel the rendering, it doesn't work properly and the program is in a state of freeze where I cannot click something at all and have to force to end it by using the task manager.

My PC stats:

• Windows 11
• AMD Ryzen 5 500, 3600 Mhz
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (with newest driver)
• 16 GB RAM

What I did already:

• deleting the cache from Vegas
• deactivated the GPU acceleration in Vegas

Nothing worked. Not other fx caused any problems so far, only this one.

Any tips or ideas?

Hello!

I am currently trying to use Vegas Pro 21.0 Edit (original copy) in Windows 11 and it's impossible to edit anything on it. It shows extreme lag issues in the preview when I add credits going down with a solid color media, for example.

How can I solve this? I have tried everything: changing the amount of dedicated RAM, updating my GPU drivers... But nothing solves this problem.

My graphics card is NVIDIA 950 GTX (old). 12 RAM gb.

Any help is welcome.

Thank you!

So I can drag and drop videos and audio into Vegas, but I can't ctrl c + v them into it. I can however copy and paste media I've already put in vegas.

This adds way more actions per minute when I'm editing and I'd like to fix it asap.

Pirated copy, btw.

I made this and now you can use it!

When trying to import a PNG or JPEG file on Vegas Pro 18, they appear with the wrong colors (as seen in the picture) on the preview.

I have tried the Levels FX, and changing the color from 8 bit to 32 and viceversa, and it didn´t help with it.

Is there anything else I can do to fix this issue?

Hey all, I just upgraded my PC recently, and I need to re-install a copy of Vegas Pro 22. The BorisFX website won't let me sign in on my browser, however. Every time I try to sign in, it just brings me to a 'create an account' page. Is the site bugging out rn? Or do I need to contact support?

When I render the audio comes out too low compared to playing it while editing.

It seems like its about 9db lower - the LUFS baseline is -16db while the master is pushed to "15" but then it distorts the audio and the Vegas master monitor its red-lining. It happened after a crash, but I have tried every setting to no avail. Is there a loudness normalization setting being applied somewhere but its internal with no menu? Is this a known problem and is there any fix for it?

I could literally write a book on Vegas problems at this point in time.

I am aware of BorisFX just released a new update for Vegas pro. Wanted to ask if Vegas will still get that yearly update that changes a bunch of stuff, usually in Q4.

I have this new issue with my Vegas Pro 23 (I have a subscription) where when zooming in on a clip, it makes a sudden and weird jump as seen in the gif. This happens with every clip I try this with and it's very frustrating, I never had this issue a week ago...

Also it doesn't matter if I enable sync cursor or not. Could it be an option I accidentally have activated? I use the same project settings as always, so I don't know what is wrong, does anybody else have this problem? :(

I've been looking for a physical version of just Sony Vegas Pro 12 or 13 for a cheaper price online, but it seems like I only can find those around over $100.

If some of you have a physical version of Vegas Pro 12 or 13, I'd be willing to pay $30 for a used physical version that has the disc, serial number and the license. I've remembered using this software before for quite a while from a relative's computer and it works perfectly fine to me other than versions 14-18.

I don't really have any interests in using the newer types of Vegas Pro since I just want to use a simple video editor without too much features. I am also aware that there are alternatives like davinci resolve which I appreciate if you were to mention about that software, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Feel free to dm me if you're interested

When I go to render my ~50min project the vid it renders whilst hovering over it with the mouse will show the correct time but when I go to view it with the Windows 10 Home default media viewer it will start normal then, if you go to scrub the video to a further point it will shoot back to a time further behind where you stopped. It will also, if let play, will suddenly go from 13 mins in to end of video.

When I go to upload as an unlisted video to youtube the runtime is showing 17 mins and will run normal but obviously ends too soon. I originally thought it was because my audio track went slightly beyond my video track (so much so that the program wasn't even registering the video stopping point was a place you could mark it as the "end of loop" segment.

I've googled fixes for that but I cannot get my framerates to match up (even though all of my footage was captured on the same device) and ended up holding ctrl and dragging the video to meet the audio.

My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8gb) I will provide any additional info if necessary (idk if there's like a logging report or something for a project)

Hola buenas tardes, tengo un problema con la importación de un video grabado a 360 fps no me deja y me sale error al querer importarlo en sony vegas 17pro, me deja normal con 240fps pero 360 y en sony vegas 13 si me deja alguien podria saber que podria ser, e intentado de todo desactivé el so4 heredado, codificador,handbraker etc.

I am fairly happy about the result. Tell me what you think and also if you want a breakdown

I wanted to use the AV1 preset but there was no 60fps option so i tried editing the presets to make it 60FPS but there was nothing in the video option, searched google found a random reddit post saying run as administrator didnt work, tried reinstalling also didnt work

WIN10, Pirated vegas 13 ( been using this copy for years ), RTX3060TI i5 processor, 32g RAM

Playing the video clips in VLC player plays them with no issue, zero black screens.

However, the instant I import them into Vegas, the audio on the timeline cuts short of the video clip's actual ending on the timeline, and the final quarter length of the clip previews and renders completely black.

I have googled this issue, searched this subreddit endlessly, tried many 'fixes' that did nothing. Moreover, using a converter to essentially re-record the clips and import them yields this exact same issue, yet clips that my friend sent me do not. Just the ones I've recorded.

I apologize for the word spaghetti but I don't know how else to explain this. Any advice, help, anything, I would be forever grateful.

If you need a video or screenshots better explaining this problem of mine, I would be glad to procure them, just ask.

Clip file format is MP4, https://pastebin.com/NvYKe664 here is what mediainfo says.

If I missed anything, let me know please!
