About Sony Vegas Pro

From standard definition to 4k and 3D, Sony Vegas pro will handle multiple file formats in the same session, loaded directly into the working timeline. As a stand-alone piece of software it really can handle your entire project including sophisticated audio tools.

Working from a PC instead of a Mac means that it is also a favorite ‘first time’ choice for those looking for something more sophisticated with the option of a consumer version with less bells and whistles than the professional offering.

Sony Vegas is user friendly and intuitive, meaning you can increase the sophistication of your films at your own pace, trying new effects and more complicated operations as your confidence and knowledge grows.
