Featuring several more advanced plug-in packages than the standard VEGAS Pro 17 version, MAGIX VEGAS Pro 17 Suite provides a highly comprehensive video editing solution that includes many audio and color grading tools. With about 30 new features added to the NLE, VEGAS Pro 17 Suite offers 8K support, a start-to-finish HDR workflow, planar motion tracking, nested timelines, and much more.
VEGAS Pro 17 Suite builds on a long heritage of efficient operation. VEGAS was one of the first NLEs to support different file types on the same timeline without transcoding them, and it has long been known to have a large audio toolset. That's still the case plus there are many more features.
The color grading toolset now includes a new color grading panel with multiple color wheels and improved color curves. Automatic color balance has been added to the color curves tool, allowing you to switch between automatic corrections and manual control. Other color grading features include the ability to color-match clips, supports for S-Log and other advanced color space technologies, and more. Graded settings can be saved and exported as LUTs that can be used in other clips or projects. Additionally, one of the plug-ins included with VEGAS Pro 17 Suite is AutoLooks OFX, which lets you apply various looks to your videos with just a few clicks. Please see the Features section below for the full list of included plug-ins.
VEGAS Pro 17 Suite is Windows-compatible.
Key New Features
Support for 8K Files
Work with 8K video files with auto-generated proxy files to make editing fast and efficient. Take advantage of 8K resolution for a huge amount of freedom in panning, zooming, and cropping your footage without resolution degradation when you deliver to HD or 4K, or deliver 8K for super-high-resolution projects.
HLG HDR Color Support
VEGAS Pro 17 features a start-to-finish workflow for HDR editing. Take advantage of GPU-based open color I/O processing to work in the new ACES 1.1 color standard, including HLG support, HDR color grading, HDR video scopes, internal and external HDR preview, and complete HDR delivery options.
Nested Timelines
Create nested timelines to organize projects and speed up your workflow. Easily move back and forth between nested and the main timeline. Or, access your nested timelines as independent VEGAS projects, so you can share parts of your project for a colleague to work on while you maintain control over the master project.
Optical-Flow Slow Motion
Create even slower, smoother slow motion with native tools built on proprietary optical flow technology that analyzes one frame to the next, afterwards creating intermediary frames between them. The result is smooth slow motion built right into VEGAS Pro 17.
LUT Export
Use your favorite color grading profiles on multiple clips or other projects, or share them with other VEGAS users. Export your settings as LUTs in .cube format and then apply them to other clips and projects as you like.
Planar Motion Tracking
Track and pin objects moving in perspective, like the side of a building seen from an angle.
