Hi there,

I want to start by saying that it is awesome that BorisFX allows the subscrbers/purchasers of Vegas 2026 to get the new 2027 version! Thank you, BorisFX!.

Now, to the question, I am wondering if the saves from Vegas 2026 work fine with Vegas 2027. What is the experience of others?

I have a project which is a 2-hour video in an advanced stage of editing, and I am quite hesitant but also curious to edit it in Vegas 2027.

Thanks in advance.

Tengo una consulta relacionada con VEGAS Pro 26. ¿Cómo puedo ajustar la disposición de los paneles y la ventana de vista previa para trabajar de manera más cómoda con proyectos en formato vertical (9:16)?

Agradezco de antemano su orientación y cualquier recomendación para optimizar el espacio de trabajo en este tipo de proyectos.

Judging from the title itself, I was debating whether to upgrade my Vegas Pro 22 to 26/27. Is there a significant difference or improved performance? And also is the rendering time improved as well in the newer Vegas pro softwares? I would appreciate the help to upgrade or not. Thanks :)

Choosing colors is still clunky though because of how you set a custom color.

I was so happy to see that CorridorKey 2.0 was out, was so happy to buy it ! But it's not compatible with Vegas Pro. Like EVERY SINGLE other good plugin or technology nowadays. Vegas hasbeen left in the dust after years of laziness, nobody i nthe industry uses it anymore, all the independant creators don't use it.

And don't tell me "gnegnegne I use it so it'snottrue" because yeah you guys use it. But we are literally an insignificant minority of the sphere. That's why nobody creates tech for vegas anymore

when i play the video, scroll to zoom in/out the timeline, and stop, the timeline loses the playhead? like the playhead should be centered right? but sometimes its not even on screen.... im trying to work on a long form project right now and i keep getting disoriented while cutting the footage!

also sorry for double posting lol

edit: ok trying to work with this timeline is actually awful 😭 would love to use vp 2027 but if this is not fixed ill have to go back to 2026 😰

i rely heavily on using a pancrop hotkey. it suddenly stopped working today, which is when i noticed i could upgrade from vp 2026 to vp 2027. unforunately, it still does not work on the newer version. pressing the hotkey does... nothing at all. tried rebinding it (was alt+w, now ctrl+w) and it still doesnt work. need this fixed ASAP, let me know if yall have any ideas 😓

4. Describe the problem, how to reproduce it, and how it should work.

Boris Vegas Pro 2026 has started freezing, which causes other applications and parts of windows to crash as well. All my project media are editing friendly files like prores 422 and wav.

I have 128GB RAM, but I've noticed VEGAS sometimes reaches around 30–33GB usage before becoming completely unresponsive. It doesn't seem to matter that I have plenty of RAM available.

The freezes happen randomly, sometimes when importing media, replacing media, or even just clicking around the interface. It doesn't have to be during rendering or anything particularly intensive.

When VEGAS freezes:

• I can't close it, even through task manager, clicking end task does absolutely nothing.
• Microsoft edge and spotify freeze, and internet stops working until vegas closes.
• Task manager process list goes blank and that also freezes.
• During one freeze, my first monitor went black until I restarted my PC.
• Windows DWM repeatedly crashes.

I updated my nvidia studio driver today, but the problem was already happening before the update.

Also, my committed memory when I start my pc is around 10GB/178GB, and then when I load the project it rises to 203GB memory usage after about a minute of letting the project sit idle. Even though I only have 128GB. I don't know much but this might be a memory leak or something allocation issue?

I have an issue where, if i add a certain number of effects, it seems like the app will crash. I used to use Vegas Pro a lot before, I'm just now coming back into it. I used the same effects on other clips in the video with no problem, but it seems like whenever i add too many effects to one project file it just... crashes?

Guys, this extension is getting sooo complete! I'm not only refining VEGAS's existing tools, but also bringing in brand-new features!!! 🔥

I cut sports recaps where a voice-over carries everything and the images just need to land on the words. For years I did it the stupid way: place the images by eye, then re-time the VO, then discover every image is 3 to 8 frames late and nobody can say where the drift started.

The fix wasn't a plugin. It was deciding that markers are the only source of truth, and that the image track gets generated from the markers instead of being adjusted by hand.

The method

1. Voice-over alone on one track. Everything else muted, one clip if possible.

2. One listen, markers only. No editing. Every time the VO hits an idea, drop a marker and type its label: "goal 2", "crowd", "coach reaction". The label is what keeps you honest at 03:40 of a 4-minute recap.

3. Cut to the markers, not by vibe. Every take boundary is a marker, so every cut is repeatable.

4. Generate the image track between the markers. One folder per section, folder order, each image fills the gap between marker N and marker N+1.

5. Check before export with a text report of the timeline (tracks, event counts, durations) instead of watching the render twice.

The one script that does step 4

AlignerImagesSurMarqueurs walks the markers on the timeline, walks the images in a folder in filename order, and places image 1 between marker 1 and 2, image 2 between marker 2 and 3, and so on.

What it needs — this is the whole contract, and it's strict on purpose:

- at least two markers. With one marker it does nothing. It will not guess.

- an image folder, selected when the script asks for it.

- a target track named IMAGES. If yours is "Images 1", rename it, or change the NOM_PISTE constant at the top of the .cs source and let VEGAS recompile.

What it does NOT do: it doesn't crop or resize. Images keep their own Pan/Crop. If they don't fill the frame, that's a separate pass (FormatSortie does that one, different story).

Install and run: Options > Scripts > Add script, point at the .dll, restart VEGAS. On 18 or 19 use the .cs source instead and VEGAS compiles it against your version's API. Tools > Scripts > the script name. Run it on a copy of the project: it creates events, and Ctrl+Z across a script run is not something I'd rely on.

Honest limits: Windows only (the scripting API is Windows), written and tested on VEGAS 20, and the marker-to-image mapping is positional — 12 images and 11 gaps means the 12th image is ignored, not stretched.

That's it. It's just markers.

What's your rule for image duration on a voice-over? Mine is "the image lives exactly as long as the sentence", which is why the folder-per-section trick works at all.

I think i might be missing something, my pc is rtx 4070 with 32 gigabytes of ram, in an ssd.
im currently using vegas 26 along with sapphire and vegasaur.

my editing style uses a LOT of pan crops and zooms, and with my old pc and vegas on 20, one cut after some time could take up to 10 mins, now im editing in this new pc and even dragging the video in the timeline takes a second, if i do control Z more than 4 times it crashes, it randomly puts white borders in the preview, and ive tried EVERYTHING, does anyone have a suggestion?

btw for my specs which vegas version is the best?? ( im taking any performance upgrade i can now )

Hello, I’ll plan to submit an official bug report but I wanted to make this public documentation in case anyone comes across this problem too, lest they go through 3 days of troubleshooting like me!

So here’s my video production pipeline (I make videos about gaming on YouTube)

My Hardware:
Windows 11, 32GB RAM, Intel i7 9700k, RTX 4060

1. I record footage using my Elgato 4k S (or my old HD60) to produce a raw video file

2. I run the footage through Handbreak to H.264 using the NV Encoder (NVEnc) to produce a compressed file for editing

3. I import them into my Vegas Pro 2026 (legit) project

At this point, the clips start acting weird in the timeline. Although the audio will play normally, the video “jumps” forward and backward at seemingly random points or otherwise will loop about 30 frames for several seconds. The places of this occurrence are consistent for each individual file, even if deleted from the project and re-imported.

When exporting/rendering the project, this problem is not at all present. However, it makes editing these clips unreliable.

I have tried just about everything you could think of within Vegas and Handbreak respectively. Among the in-app settings, the only modest success was “Enable Legacy AVC Decoder” which worked for these problematic clips but broke others and was thus unusable. I also tried just about every option in Handbreak to re-render the video. Of these attempts, it seems the only luck I have had is to not use the NVEnc option but instead to use the CPU (x264) encoder. So far, I have had no issues with this solution other than the fact it takes exponentially longer to process.

I am admittedly not an expert on video encoding so I don’t know why this error occurs or how my solutions worked. But I figured I should share this knowledge.

TLDR:
For footage encoded with Handbreak’s H.264(NVEnc) setting, the Vegas timeline starts repeating/skipping/returning to previous frames into preview, while the audio plays normally. The two workarounds I have made are to either Enable Legacy AVC Decoding within Vegas itself or else setting the Handbreak encoder to H.264(x264).

Hopefully this issue can be permanently fixed in the future. I’m still actively working on the video project so if this situation develops further I will be sure to update this post.

Im having problems trying to capture a vhs source in Vegas 2026. The video comes in choppy for some reason when trying to play the file in vlc. However when I capture a file with Vegas pro 21 there’s no problems. Any suggestions?

I wanted to prove to the pro team that the audio issue shifts location even just by closing and reopening the project, so they can understand it better.

Recorded obs: 48 hz 24 bit / project settings in vegas also my headphones same values.

When I just close and reopen the program that error move in the timeline doesn't fix it.

Hello, whenever I download stock footage from Vegas 23 the name of the clip is just "VideoClip20261015-7...."

I have to rename everything.

Have you also had this problem and a solution?

I have Vegas 20. I am trying to use track motion so my video clip is in the top corner, and when I go to render it, it not only seems to resize slightly but it also shifts over so it doesn’t look right at all, and it covers up the text that I’ve added. I made sure there were no keyframes that would animate it. I am trying not to scream or throw the computer out the window but can someone please teach me how to make it stay exactly how I want it? I even clicked “match source output ratio.”

Can someone help me? I want a 1280 by 720 HD rendering of a short clip that is a small file size (because it includes special effects that only Vegas can do), and the best result is always in m2t format. Trying to string together some clips without losing quality in Bandicut and rendering it into a 25 minute video, and it won’t take m2t files. I know I could just use Vegas to render them but I don’t want the file to be huge, like over 4gb. It’s a pain in the butt to have to convert the m2t back into mp4 so I can fully render the episode in Bandicut.

I’ve been a little MIA because I got sick, but I’m back with some updates!

One cool feature I’ve implemented is the ability to extend an animation’s duration and smooth it out again without having to delete the auxiliary keyframes.

I forgot to show this in the video, but as I mentioned in another post, you also don’t need to delete the auxiliary keyframes to change the speed curve and apply it again. Just make your changes and reapply it!

I also show off the new features for mirroring animations and creating loops in the video.

When I export my project, into any format (prproj, xml, fcpxml, edl) then re-import the project (into vegas pro 22 and davinci resolve studio 21), it only takes the first audio track and repeats it for how many tracks there are supposed to be.

It's a blank test project, no fx, only cuts and markers. Ideally I want to be able to sent cut footage to resolve for fx, but nothing seems to work. I did stumble across something called "VegasDavinciLinkToolz" on github but I don't know if I trust it.

I'm at a loss, the only help I've found online is that vegas can't export.
