Suite workflow around Vegas Pro 18
Vegas Post Suite was reorganised around Vegas Pro 18, following the editor’s addition of AI-assisted effects, GPU-accelerated processing, improved motion tracking and HDR support. Digital Production covered the underlying editor in its original Vegas Pro 18 report.
The suite also shipped updated versions of Vegas Effects and Vegas Image.
Vegas Effects
New mask shapes support rectangular, polygonal and star-shaped masks. Auto Stabilizer smooths handheld movement, while Crop, Pan & Zoom can crop a clip and animate that crop. GoPro FX Reframe adjusts the framing of 360-degree footage. The archived Vegas Effects feature page contains further detail.
Vegas Image
The rebuilt text system can mix fonts within a single text block and adds outline, subscript, superscript and margin controls. A Healing Brush repairs image areas from a source point, Clone Stamp copies image regions with a brush, and Dynamic Contrast applies contrast selectively at different spatial scales. More information was published on the Vegas Image feature page.
Availability
Vegas Post Suite was offered as a monthly subscription or perpetual licence, with a trial available from the product page. Current pricing may differ. Test project interchange, GPU processing and HDR output before moving an active production to this release.
