I have use this programm last 7-10 years. Before it was only for my personal purposes, but now I brought it at work and do my videos with help of Vegas Pro. It was ont easy for me to learn it to do really nice videos, but after a few lessons it becomes easy and I learned fast. Love the audio track and many features to work with it.

Sony Vegas Pro has always been the absolute fastest tool for throwing together a basic edit. The simple feature of two overlapping media events on a track being treated as a dissolve saves so much time compared to the A/B track model of everything else. Rather than opening media in a trimmer window, where you set an in/out point then drage the clip to the timeline, Vegas defaults to opening media on the timeline for direct trimming. Since, either way you're placing and trimming a clip, I see this as saving two moves on every clips. For those who LIKE Trimmer windows, setting those up to work as expected is changing one setting in program options. Vegas has the best audio editing features of any NLE. Period. With the new Vegas Pro 14 Vegas adds support for many newer cameras and codecs including HVEC (h.265) and R3D files as well as a new native ProRes decoder, removing the need for Quicktime. As a Hitfilm user I'm glad that the Hitfilm integration (broken in Vegas 13) has been fixed. Vegas Pro is very easy to use, and I've been able to train new users from never using the software before to completeing full edits on their own with a half-day of training.

Sony Vegas Pro is that rare combination of having an easy-to-use intuitive interface and having advanced features. While it is not as simple as non-professional video editing apps it strikes a nice balance between ease of use and richness and density of features and functionality. It is much cleaner and easier to use than Adobe Premiere and has a nice suite of tools that, while not as vast as Adobe's eco-system, gives you solid and integrated effects and sound tools.
