With media generators you can use solid colors or textures to overlay existing images and even add credits rolls without having to resort to an external animation program. You can browse through them easily and also check a preview of each one just by hovering the cursor over it. Vegas has a generous library of transitions, video effects and media generators. The preview panel allows you to navigate the tracks as well as recording audio while playing. The track themselves can be manipulated by dragging their edges to change opacity and level and type of offset. From there you can play with levels, motion blur, volume, sound panning and more. Each track has a header that contains different controls specific to its type. Tinkering with audio and video tracks is as easy as adding them to your project. The interface is split into large sections and the most commonly used functions have a dedicate button on the bottom of the window.

Vegas Pro is a video production program that combines professional tools with a user friendly interface. Luckily for people who do not want a subscription in order to use a video editing program (and neither want to sell their soul for it) Sony has released their thirteenth release of Vegas Pro.

As professional tools have become subscription based, it appears that the industry is adopting the MMO games model. Purchasing a media package has become quite a rare event in the past years.
