Looking For a New NLE? Everything You Need to Know About Diving into Vegas Pro in 2026

While Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve might remain as my two favorite video editing software currently available for filmmakers and all other types of hybrid-video creatives, there are actually more options in the NLE space these days than you might think.​

Apple has worked hard to make Final Cut Pro a viable option for higher-end video pros again. (It has also done quite a good job translating the software over to iPad with its Final Cut Pro for iPad offering.)

​There’s also still Avid holding strong, as well as the myriad of smartphone-based editing apps out there, which more than do the trick for quickly editing smartphone-shot footage into smartphone-viewable content.​

However, there’s a name familiar to many video editing old heads that could be ready for a comeback. Boris FX recently acquired Vegas Pro, and the latest update is adding a lot worth checking out.​

If you haven’t checked out Vegas Pro in a while, perhaps since it was known as Sony Vegas, then there’s probably a lot here to cover. However, to keep things short, all you really need to know is that Boris FX recently acquired Vegas Pro (formerly Sony Vegas), Sound Forge, and Acid Pro from MAGIX Software GmbH.​

With this acquisition, the new parent company has added these tools to its diverse set of VFX options and ushered in a new era for Vegas Pro with a new update. This new Vegas Pro 2026 brings a ton of new tools and features, including professional-grade titling tools, all while prioritizing the stability and speed that the system was known for in the past.

The best way to check out these new updates and features, which include a powerful new Title Studio for cinematic 2D and 3D text and an updated AI Z-Depth effect, is to watch the video below highlighting everything new.
