The latest version of Vegas Pro (13.0 build 453) is flexible enough that it should provide faneditors with high-definition editing capabilities in coming years, but changes in codec and container advancement as well as increasing resolution of ultra high definition footage could make using version 13 difficult. Does this spell certain doom for all of the faneditors using Vegas? Good question… So far, more than half of surveyed faneditors use Sony Vegas (either Pro or Movie Studio), so the loss of this editing suite could mean big changes for many members of our community.
The rumored deprecation of Sony Vegas has been floating around for a while now, and although there has been plenty of push-back (just check out the discussion on the Sony forums…), it looks Sony is definitely ending development of the software.
