4.0 out of 5 stars I think they really mean that "Pro" part of the name (not for newbs)
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2023
I hate to do this but I've spent 3 months now trying to learn this and it's just too over my head.

I do the odd video for a product for Vine but mostly I do some educational program stuff for the wildlife santuary I do volunteer work for, nothing major or fancy. I'm no expert or even all that into it.

So, from my newb perspective, this is way over my ability to comprehend.

There's hover blurbs on the lower menu and that's how I usually learn new software. There's no hover info on the list of stuff to do on the left function list.

Each option brings up pix of examples of the various levels that function can do. That part's handy but some of them aren't really understandable by the examples given and some only have one example.

All that to say it seems like you already need to be pretty into this to understand. Meaning, it's probably not for newbs like me.

The program itself loads pretty slowly but it seems to be feature-heavy so somewhat expected.

I took a few pix to show the client, effects, and such. Hopefully that's useful to some.

As far as rating, it's far beyond my abilities but it does seem feature heavy, as I mentioned, and that's always good. It does say "Pro", of course, but one can never trust that kind of thing isn't just marketing hype so I tried it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good software, but gets expensive fast
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2023
VEGAS Pro Edit 21 is a full-featured video editing program. It can do most of the things that you will want to do and in some instances will do more. The Program itself is only part of a whole line of software though so beware that some of the features you may want might be ones that are locked behind a paywall. They have many options for upgrading the program but many of them are quite high in price, don't get me wrong, some of those features may very well be worth the price but for the average user the price would be hard to justify. I have used many other programs to edit video and some of the options out there do probably 90% or more of what this is capable of without costing anything, and some of them are more user-friendly as well... It's hard to recommend this because of that. This program works really well and is not overly hard to learn to use but I think It's probably only going to be worth investing in if you are a serious videographer. I will say that the final results - the rendering is excellent. I find the fact that there are features in the program that are not clearly labeled as an upgradable option a bit confusing and annoying but I'm sure once you run across all of them while using it you learn to just ignore those bits.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Stand-Alone Video Editor At An Entry Level Price
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2023
If you are at ALL familiar with video editing software you know that most systems are cloud based with a computer based interface. While that is great it means subscriptions, internet connections, and other things that become very cumbersome when all you want to do is edit video for a 1-7 minute video. Without naming names a number of the largest software companies stopped providing much less supporting stand-alone editors. Then I found Vegas Pro 21. The interface is intuitive for experienced editors. Track separation, audio cross over, FX app for Video and audio are almost effortless. For an exercise I grabbed a half dozen public use licensed video clips and audio to see how hard it would be to add audio to the video sequences, add FX and publish. Once I had the files downloaded it took me about 15 minutes. The quality control - file size, anticipated publishing/streaming options – are all found in the interfaces pull down menu. Steps that I occasional have to use an aftermarket app or a specialty open source software for are already included in the package.
When you use it you will see a number of features that point toward the company’s upgraded software and subscription software. For example their “media” subscription files are for a product that is two tiers (price wise) higher that will give you premium licensed content to use with your own projects on licensing that won’t limit your use. If you think you are going to need any of those things you will want to consider the upgraded products or wait to see if they offer you a separate option to subscribe/use those files. I wasn’t able to find one available at this time and did contact the company to find out what options were currently available.
Who is this for? Anyone who needs to edit video at a level appropriate for home use, social media, and commercial applications but wants to do so on a budge. The software offers all the interfaces you need and can render to specification.

If you are starting your first Vlog, channel, or other broadcast based presence, or if you are just wanting to share a story or information this will give you the opportunity to produce commercial quality video.
For newbies there will be a learning curve just like anyone who hasn’t done any significant amount of video editing. There are a lot of tutorial videos available and if you know what you want to make you will be able to do it with this software.
If you are experienced then it is a breeze, a lot of things are exactly where you’d expect them to be and at the price you will be amazed at what it can do. Again, if you are working on things that are more complex or need additional resources, consider the upgrade.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easier video editing
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023
So far I have created some nice home videos with this software but there is a learning curve coming from a MacBook iMovie. You can do so much more with this than you can with basic video editing software and but you will need to watch a few instructional videos to really get the hang of it, Out of the box and first time using it, it was easy enough to figure out how to import videos and clips as well as photos. The storyboard is very easy to navigate around and ability to insert transitions from one scene to another.
