The effects palette includes most of the popular effects such as glow, lens flare, film grain, film effects, light rays, Gaussian blur, along with hundreds of others. The color correction tools provide extensive controls for improving or enhancing bland images, or for creating stylized effects. This allows users to easily alter a specific effect, or change the order of a sequence of effects. Numerous effects can be added to each clip and are shown in a chain in the effects window. Many of these use GPU acceleration, which harnesses the processing power of the graphics card to speed up effects rendering and monitoring.Įffects are elegantly managed. In addition, Vegas Pro 11 provides more than 200 2D and 3D transitions. The effects palette is quite extensive, including more than 300 functional and stylized effects. Templates make it easy to animate text and keyframe motion. The titling tool offers true 3D in a stereoscopic environment, and simulated 3D in a 2D environment. It offers image stabilization and multi-cam editing that enables switching among as many as 32 video sources. The Vegas package is densely packed with features found in other, more costly, editing systems. Vegas Pro 11 also supports 2K and 4K file resolutions. But you can import any video file that your QuickTime Player will read, as Vegas harnesses that application as a plug-in for file importation. These formats pass through the editing process unaltered, saving time and preserving original quality. Natively-supported codecs include XDCAM, XDCAM EX, NXCAM, HDCAM-SR, AVCCAM, RED R3D, AVCHD and AVC-based MOV files from DSLR cameras. (For 3D monitoring, editors can use an SDI or HDMI output and select channel-specific, top/bottom, side-by-side, blended or anaglyphic displays.)Ī significant timesaving feature is the ability to mix resolutions or frame rates on the timeline without transcoding. Sony Vegas Pro 11 is designed to work with every video format available, including stereoscopic 3D formats. Sony Vegas Pro 11 user interface FEATURES
