Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. The previous update, Version 16, added several capabilities, too. Capture on-screen action as a video file. This fixes geometric distortion and is based on a database of lenses it's particularly applicable to wide-angle action cam lenses.

What's New in Vegas Movie Studioįor those who are already familiar with Vegas Movie Studio, here's a cheat sheet of what's new for the latest iteration, Version 17: Even with this upgrade, however Vegas Movie Studio falls short of the competition from Adobe, Corel, and CyberLink.

The software now also gets points for supporting 360-degree, HEVC H.265, and 4K content. The latest version includes interface tweaks that help a little in this regard, and adds powerful color-grading, slow motion, and a screen capture tool. Instead, usability has long been the main problem for this software, which appears more like a modified pro-level video editing program than a consumer one.
