Vegas Pro is a non-linear, multitrack multimedia editing system for Windows PC computer platforms. Vegas Pro uses 24-bit/96kHz digital files for higher definition audio, unlimited track capability (based on CPU/RAM resources) and support for DirectX plug-ins with up to 32 assignable effects sends. There are 26 master outputs, 26 auxiliary outputs, a 4-band EQ and compressor on every track and dither and noise shaping plug-ins on the bus outputs.

Vegas supports MP3 formats as well as the creation of streaming media content with the ability to use timeline Metadata from Windows Media Technologies 4.0 and RealNetworks RealSystem G2 files. Totally "pro" features include: track "scrubbing" of both audio and video files, MIDI Time Code synchronization, resizable video preview window, full audio mixing console, multiple plug-ins that run in real-time, "on-the-fly" non-destructive edits during playback and the ability to use different file formats with different sample rates in one session without pre-conversion. Disk throughput is highly optimized using asynchronous I/O.
