This is going to be interesting: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/magix-aquires-sonys-video-editing-music-software-today-...78526662626953
I wonder whether both products will continue in the consumer market... and whether Sony Vegas will follow Adobe Premiere, and go to a subscription model?
There's certainly likely to be some changes, I'm guessing....

It sure looks like Sony is out of the pay-once and consumer software businesses entirely, including Vegas Pro.
There was already speculation that Sony's software development efforts would be focused on its subscription-based Catalyst suite from now on. -
oh crap there goes vegas pro into shitsville. unbelievable. and sony is keeping the catalyst edit/prepare crap???? has anyone else tried that garbage?

I'm still using Vegas Pro 9 (no reason to upgrade for what I use it for) and it looks like I probably won't bother in the future now.

Magix mostly makes low-end cheap software.
They do make Video Pro X6 for about $350 (never seen it before today). So they'll probably gut Vegas for their other products.
So there goes Vegas ... not that I ever liked it anyway. (Premiere user since the 90s.)Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

Sony has got out of the Mobile Phone,Laptop,A/V Software Business. TVs and Cameras are Next maybe.

I'm thinking they'll stick with Pro/Broadcast regardless, at least for the next decade.

Hate to see Vegas go. I've been using it since v7 and it's a very stable and good NLE. I'm not sweating it as I still have v10 and that should do me for the next 10 years or so. Actually I do about 95% of my video editing using free/open source s/w, so no big deal yet.
Got my retirement plans all set. Looks like I only have to work another 5 years after I die........ -
Maybe just some manager replacements are going to happen but the rest would stay in those offices - Middleton, Wisconsin, USA, perhaps something similar that happened when Sony purchased it years back.
Kind of Deja-Vu for them? -
I already hinted to this...

...not that I care. BMD put every NLE on notice when they offered Resolve for free. -

Looks like Version 14 of Vegas Pro is now with us: http://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-pro/...it seems the rest of the Vegas range are still v.13 at the moment.....
