Vegas Pro 2027

Make more. Worry less.
Vegas Pro 2027 takes the tedious parts of your workflow off your plate: mixed-camera color, render waits, captions, masks, file naming. So you can get back to the only parts that really matter. Shoot. Cut. Publish. Repeat.

Every camera. One timeline.

Color Management, Rebuilt
A-cam shoots Log. B-cam shoots HDR. Your phone shoots something else entirely. Vegas Pro 2027 reads each source on import and brings them into a single color-managed timeline, converting on the fly while you play back.

Native engine support for a broad range of color spaces, including Log and HDR
Improved automatic detection and interpretation of source color spaces
Manual control over color primaries, transfer characteristics, and color range
Fully GPU-accelerated color space conversion
More predictable mixed-camera and mixed-color-space projects

Modernized Media Properties
View and adjust critical information about all the media in your project in a completely redesigned dialog. Expanded color-space information and settings, clearer metadata, and technical details you can copy in one click and paste straight into an email, a shot list, or a project doc.

Improved color-space information and settings
Improved metadata presentation
Easier copying of technical media information
Render. Publish. Repeat.

Faster Exports. Less CPU Load.
Get from final edit to finished file faster. An improved GPU pipeline transfers video frames to your hardware encoder more efficiently, avoiding unnecessary copies through system memory. This reduces CPU workload and speeds up exports, especially for simple edits, projects with fewer effects, and format conversions.

More efficient frame delivery to hardware encoders
Reduced CPU workload and improved GPU utilization
Faster exports when memory bandwidth is the bottleneck
Supported on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel hardware

GPU-Accelerated Hardware Encoding
Building on last year’s 4:2:2 decoding support, Vegas Pro now adds hardware-accelerated 4:2:2 encoding for AVC and HEVC. Export directly from your timeline while preserving 4:2:2 chroma detail for broadcast, grading, and delivery.

Hardware-accelerated 4:2:2 output in AVC and HEVC
Supported on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and
Intel Panther Lake platforms
Preserves more color detail than 4:2:0 output
Less reliance on external encoding tools

High-Resolution Audio Export
You spent an hour on the mix. Don’t hand it to an 8-bit down-converter at the finish line. Vegas Pro 2027 exports 24-bit PCM and AAC alongside AVC and HEVC video, straight into MP4 or MOV.

24-bit PCM and AAC audio in MP4 and MOV containers
Sample rates up to 192 kHz
Up to 32 audio channels

AI Quick Mask
Rotoscoping is the tax on every composite. AI Quick Mask brings Boris FX AI masking technology directly into the Vegas timeline. Pick your subject, and the mask follows it through the shot.

AI-assisted object recognition and masking
High-speed mask propagation
More stable masks during motion
On average 20x faster than Smart Mask 2.0
GPU transcription badge reading Up to 7x faster beside the Vegas Pro AI model settings.
GPU-Accelerated Transcription
(Subscription Only)
Subtitles are no longer optional, and the people watching with the sound off don’t care how long your transcript took. Speech to text now runs on the GPU, so long recordings transcribe faster and subtitles land in your timeline sooner.

GPU-accelerated transcriptions powered by Whisper
Faster transcription of long recordings
Shorter subtitle workflows on larger projects
Automatic hardware detection with CPU fallback

ElevenLabs Text to Speech
(Subscription Only)
The offline voices are still here but now there’s a second option. Add your own ElevenLabs API key and generate narration from ElevenLabs’ voice library without leaving your edit.

Optional online text-to-speech provider
Access to a large library of high-quality ElevenLabs voices inside Vegas Pro
Bring your own ElevenLabs API key
*ElevenLabs requires a separate ElevenLabs account. No ElevenLabs usage credits are included with Vegas Pro.

Composite FX on Video Events
Some of the best OFX effects, including BCC+ Primatte Studio, need two images to work with. Until now that meant restructuring your tracks. In Vegas Pro 2027, compatible plugins take a secondary image input directly on a single video event.

Support for OFX effects that require two image inputs
Improved compatibility with BCC+ composite effects, including Primatte Studio
Advanced blending, keying, and transition workflows at event level
No track-hierarchy rework required
Shoot on anything. Cut with anyone.
Nikon ZR N-RAW Support
The Nikon ZR puts RED’s RAW technology in a lot more hands. Vegas Pro 2027 reads it natively, so footage goes from card to timeline without a transcode in between.

Native support for Nikon ZR N-RAW footage
No transcoding or intermediate conversion required

Updated Final Cut XML
Productions run on more than one application, and your project shouldn’t be the thing that can’t leave the room. Vegas Pro 2027 updates its Final Cut XML import and export for newer versions, so round-trips to other editing and grading systems are more reliable.

Compatibility with newer Final Cut XML versions
More stable project import and export
Better collaboration with external NLEs

Dynamic Render Filenames
Six versions, three platforms, one client who wants the date in the filename. Build a template once in the Render dialog and every export names itself.

Tokens for project, frame rate, resolution, codec, preset, date, time, and counter
“Insert placeholder” picker, so there’s no syntax to memorize
