It's been a crazy full year for me which is why I haven't posted anything since exact 1 year ago. All good though. How have you been? I see you're pas 1M! Congrats!
@@ScrapyardFilms thanks broski, been a wild year for me as well! I kinda owe ya one! Without your past tutorials, I wouldn't have been able to make videos without any troubles :P Waiting for another HOW TO MAKE VEGAS 21 RUN FAST Video to come out :P Or shall I repeat the process of the previous year lol! Hope you and your family are having a wonderful time and I'm looking forward to more videos of you again :)
V21 and V20 will be identical on how to make it run faster so no video on that. Not a fan of making identical videos yearly. Same with Best render settings. The Voukoder plugin and render settings is all anybody ever needs. That's awesome man. I appreciate it! And I'll be uploading a few more within the coming days! Hopefully some more during the year, as well!
Thanks for leting me know, you def should let the people know maybe in the title of your older videos that they can apply those settings for Vegas 21 :D Looking forward to it, wish ya nothing but the ebst for your YT Career! Cheers bro @@ScrapyardFilms
Now all it need is manual easing curve, and the ability to move objects directly from preview window. Then Vegas would be the one and only editing program i ever use.
I remember Vegas 17 to 18 decreased my render time by like 20 seconds on the same video test. Would you suspect that Vegas 21 would also have improved render times? And is it really worth it to upgrade?
Thank you for this! I didn't even receive the usual e-mail invitation to upgrade at a reduced price, so when I read about version 21 I was caught by surprise. Of my purposes, v21 seems an unnecessary upgrade - unless someone attests that it is significantly more stable (or renders better) than v20.
No problem! I'd say the biggest reason to upgrade would be to the Suite or Post version so you can get the new Mocha Vegas plugin and have amazing tracking in your videos.
Cool, I'm looking forward to your upcoming 'how to' videos on these updates. Don't be afraid to camp out and spend some time for thoroughness...... I've got all day and all night! Cheers 🍻
Well, if it becomes more stable, reliable, compatible and efficient, including preview, rendering, etc., that is great! Adjustment events look great, please make more detailed video about these as well as what is the difference with the Adjustment tracks with some practical examples, please. I was considering giving Da Vinci a shot, but after watching this I shall continue with VEGAS! THANKS!
Just to update, I have been using it for two weeks and it is the very first time it has worked for me out of the box! Rendeding with Voukoder H264x option stable and speedy, a great job for the VEGAS team!
Hi Josh many thanks for this. Your channel is always my first port of call to find out something. In VEGAS Creative Software's video about Announcing VEGAS Pro 21 at about 2.02-2.13 there is a 8 video screen grid. Have you any idea how this was achieved? If so could you explain in simple layman terms for a septuagenarian please. Cheers John
So to me it looks like they stacked 6 or 7 videos on the timeline and likely used the Pan/Crop tool to resize and mask them to fit in the exact spots they wanted. As far as I'm aware, VEGAS does not have an east drag-and-drop effect to achieve this, but instead has to be done manually. Now there may be 3rd party plugins that can do this for you but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
Thanks for the compare, easy for me to understand:) I'm am really bugged that I just purchased V20 less than a month ago only to find they released V21. I have been pulling my hair out with the amount of crashes V20 does per day. Great to hear they have finally tried to fix "not Responding" errors I have had since V15. Love the interface but reliability sucks. Rant over. Thanks for the insight. I subed a while ago because of your easy to understand videos.
You should reach out to VEGAS Support and tell them you just purchased V20. Usually there is a grace period where they'll give you the latest version if it came out recently after a purchase!
I have Vegas post 20, but post 21 is a lot of money I think. Will I lose anything by going to regular pro 21 or suite? (I.e. will I lose Vegas Effects 20 for instance)
I upgraded from Vegas 19 to 20 and lost the ability to upscale... it now tells me I need a specific AI bundle. It's a bit crappy that I spend money "upgrade" and lose a feature. Any thoughts? Does Vegas 21 bring back the upscale or will I still have to pay extra to get this feture back?
That is correct. If you want to use RAW files, then need to be converted to ProRes (non-raw) files first. They're working on it and all the licensing that comes with it but their primary focus is AV1 from what I hear.
I still use Vegas Pro 19 and knowing 21 is out or coming out, I wanted to ask if it's worth the upgrade. Skipping 20 and straight to 21, I have had lots of crashes with 19 so I'm hoping if by what you said about them finally getting the code to the 21st century that it will provide a more stable experience.
I'd say yeah. VEGAS Pro Suite or VEGAS Pro Post are worth the upgrade for the upgrade in VEGAS' codebase alone. The other things are just awesome perks.
for me to upgrade this depends on what the upgrade price is for 21. I did find Vegas 20 somewhat stuttery and I even still use Vegas 18 for some stuff.
I tried Vegas 18 back in the day, and I found it the most interesting editing software for PC, in the sense that it would allow me to do what I wanted to do FASTER, as a noob, leaving plenty of improvement as a "pro" software. However, the lack of paid courses, free courses, youtube tutorials... was/is terrible, compared with other pro softwares such as Premiere, Davinci, Final Cut... I do feel it´s a dying product, since it just doesn´t really have competitive support from the community. Heck, it´s probably easier to find tutorials for Filmora than it is for Vegas... As a non-professional, this is truly an issue. Best.
There marketing is more or less non-existent compared to other software. They lack key influencers in the industry supporting it. I recommend that to compete with Davinci they should give away an older version like V18 for free - that would be a huge draw for people starting out.
Umm so i just bought V21 and it crashed 5 times in 5 different projects in 2 days. So that is worse than V20 and the ones before that. So i really can't agree with the new code helping to fix the not responding stuff
Every time I upgrade versions, I always hold Control+Shift while double-clicking the new VEGAS desktop icon. If you do that, before VEGAS launches, a small box will appear asking you to reset the preferences as well as optional delete all application data. Check that box and click Yes/Okay and let VEGAS reset to default. Then see how it performs.
@@ScrapyardFilms Well i would do that but I don't want to install every plugin again and recreate all my saved presets and all that. But thanks for answering though
I switched from Vegas POST to the Resolve paid version earlier this year. I was curious what they did with 21, and what I see is they are adding some of the features already in Resolve. And ooh, they have ONE tutorial project. Compared to the tutorials for Resolve, this is not much. All their updates did was confirm why I switched. The comment below about Vegas dying is pretty true. In fact w/o 3rd party plugins I feel Vegas would have disappeared.
Resolve has been playing catch-up to VEGAS as well... such as only just recently adding a proxy system, audio mix automation, auto-ripple editing, resyncing audio and video, online project collaboration, etc. Some of those features VEGAS has had for nearly 20 years.
And Resolve still doesn't have an image editor, an online stock content library, it doesn't support scripting, doesn't have Mocha (it has a similar system, but nowhere near as good), it doesn't support anywhere near as many formats, it cannot export to anywhere near as many formats... There's a ton of things VEGAS does that Resolve cannot, and even more that it does better than Resolve.
Resolve is all about clicking, clicking and more clicking until you finally get a little bit done. I can get more done in Vegas with far fewer clicks that you're able to do in Resolved.
Every single NLE has their Pros and Cons. They're all lacking features the others have and all excel in ways others can't. It's all about preference and comfortability. I own VEGAS, Resolve, and Premiere for scenarios where I need something specific done that the others can't do. But when the day is over, I still prefer VEGAS over the others.
@@ScrapyardFilms I'd assume that yes some will work but that is no guarantee, I'd still have to risk that others will not, particle illusion and vegasuaur for example, not concerned about voukoder that much and I don't doubt some devs will have some issues and that is of course an opportunity for profit.
I stopped using vegas only because of the price model..... Got davinci resolve instead....I would definitely invest in vegas again because of the interface if it would offer one time purchase....paying more then 99$ a year for video software is unfair price model in my opinion....otherwise im good 😅.... Have a nice one 😉👍
You've always been able to purchase a perpetual license of VEGAS and own it forever. For example if you went to VEGAS' site (here's an affiliate link: edit.scrapyardfilms.com), scrolled down, and changed the purchase options around you can get the cheapest version of VEGAS for a total cost of $200 and own it for the rest of your life.
@@ScrapyardFilms understand 😊 the difference is that Davinci resolve is a own product. So far it has been one payment on all updates are free. Maybe it will change in the comming future but for now all updates are totally free. It's hard to compete with that.

Glad you like them and appreciate your opinion!
Glad you're still around!
sadly I moved on to DaVinci Resolve. I miss using Vegas though but I couldn't deal with the constant crashes
Totally understandable! Resolve is great, too!
Excited to see you back!
The new code is probably the most important work in this version
Vegas should seriously improve transitions. We have had the same ones for 100 years and most of them are naive, boring and unusable.
true

You said the Mocha is only available for Pro Post users but on the Vegas webpage it says both Pro Suite and Post users can use it.
This is true, only Pro Edit lacks Mocha.
Great catch. I was told that only Post users would get it but if they are giving it to Suite users too, that'd be awesome!
i loved adjustament event
Vegas Pro Mocha is for suite as well

Vegas 21 already, some of those new effects are very handy and time saving. should consider upgrade soon. FYI you affiliate link is now working!

How different is Vegas Mocha to Mocha Pro? I'm still toying with the idea of buying one or the other.
