These functions were previously available via the keyboard but may now be accessed using clickable icons. Five new edit tools are accessible from this new toolbar: Shuffle, Slip, Slide, Time Stretch/Compress and Split Trim. Some of the functions formerly located on an upper toolbar have been moved beneath the Timeline, bringing oft used tools a little closer to the action. If you are already familiar with version 12 you will find that little has changed, except for the addition of a few new pro features, which we’ll cover later. Sony Vegas Pro 13 is a timeline-based editor that is fairly easy to learn and use. One thing Sony Creative Software has managed to do quite well with their Vegas Pro editor is balance a powerful feature set with a beginner friendly interface and workflow, and a wallet friendly price.
They may be simple, inexpensive programs that pretty much do everything for you or they may be very sophisticated and powerful with steep learning curves and a price tag to match. A wide array of video editing software programs dot the post-production landscape these days.
