Sony Vegas Pro 13 Edit is an ideal video NLE for anyone ranging from longtime video professionals to artists looking to create pro-quality YouTube videos using a limited selection of video gear. With its streamlined user interface, drag-and-drop simplicity, and a library of straightforward effects and transitions, Vegas Pro 13 Edit offers power, flexibility, and refreshing ease of use that no other NLE even close to the same price can claim. At the same time, multiuser collaboration facilitated by the Vegas Pro Connect iPad app and Proxy-first XDCAM workflow provide essential bridges between teams if you work in broadcast television or film production.

If you're a music engineer entering into the arena of video editing, or you're just plain tired of trying to use video-editing software that makes you feel like you're at the helm of an alien spacecraft, then Sony Vegas Pro 13 Edit is for you. That's because Vegas is actually built around a powerful DAW-style environment that you can shape to meet your needs. Intuitive drag-and-drop file and effects management, editing tools that require no explanation to use effectively, and on-the-fly file conversion for a wide range of video and audio formats all work together to keep your focused on producing the best looking (and sounding) video possible – all without interrupting your creative flow.

Sony may have made Vegas Pro 13 Edit incredibly easy to use, but don't let that fool you – this video-production software is anything but limited. Loaded with professional-standard graphical effects, color correction, transitions, and other useful processing such as advanced image stabilization, Vegas lets you create great looking video, even if you're filming with an inexpensive consumer camera. Of course, with support for anything up to 4K frame sizes (4096 x 4096) and a wide range of file formats, it really doesn't matter what you're shooting with. On the audio side, Vegas offers unlimited tracks and a full DAW worth of recording, editing, and mixing functions. You can even load up your favorite VST or DirectX plug-ins for advanced audio processing and automation. And if you need to take your project into a separate DAW for even more in-depth processing, you'll be thrilled about how easy the integrated file interchange system will ease your workflow.

If you're working in a professional production environment, then you're going to be thrilled with the workflow tools Sony included in Vegas Pro 13 Edit. For starters, there's Vegas Pro Connect, an iPad app that interfaces with Vegas Pro 13 Edit and virtually eliminates the need for all of the tedious spreadsheets and and notes that typically govern offline review workflows. A similar lifesaver is Vegas Pro 13 Edit's Proxy-first workflow, which lets teams shoot XDCAM footage and automatically upload proxies to cloud storage.
