This is Vegas Pro
VEGAS Pro — formerly Sony Vegas Pro — is professional video-editing software for Windows, developed by MAGIX since it acquired the product line from Sony in 2016. It combines timeline editing, color grading, motion tracking, compositing, and audio post in one package, and it leans heavily on GPU acceleration — so it runs best on a workstation with a capable graphics card and fast storage.
At PCSP our goal is to make owning a video-editing workstation easy and affordable. We rigorously test and tune every machine on the best refurbished hardware for the job, so editing stays smooth and rendering stays fast — without paying new-machine prices. Below are units configured specifically for running VEGAS Pro.

VEGAS Pro FAQ
Is Sony Vegas Pro still a thing?
Yes — it is now simply called VEGAS Pro. Sony created the software in the late 1990s and sold the product line to MAGIX in 2016, which has developed and sold it since. It remains Windows-only, and current versions carry the same fast timeline-editing DNA the Sony releases were known for.
What computer do I need to run VEGAS Pro?
Plan on 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, a modern multi-core CPU, 16GB of RAM (32GB for 4K projects), a GPU with at least 4GB of VRAM — 8GB or more for comfortable 4K work, since VEGAS leans on GPU acceleration for playback and rendering — and SSD storage for your OS and media. The configurations on this page are specced to those requirements.
What is VEGAS Pro used for?
VEGAS Pro is used for professional video editing: multicam and timeline editing, color grading, motion tracking, compositing, and audio post-production. It is popular with YouTube creators, event videographers, and small studios that want a fast single-application workflow on Windows.

Experts generally agree that VEGAS Pro requires a computer with an Intel Core i7 or i9 processor, at least 16GB of RAM (32GB for 4K video editing), and a dedicated GPU with 4GB or more VRAM for efficient rendering and playback. An SSD is also recommended for faster file access and smoother editing performance, especially when working with large video files.
