The stability of the software has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and UI glitches that hinder the editing experience. Many have noted that the program is particularly unstable when handling larger video files or during rendering, leading to significant frustration and inefficiency. Overall, the consensus is that the software is not reliable enough for serious video editing tasks.
“Vegas Movie Studio 15 never crashed on me, but Vegas Movie Studio 17 Platinum freezes and crashes so often.”
“Not a software I would recommend, to be honest. It does the job but has loads of crashes and freezes when adding more than a few video files that are around 5GB. It's hard to work with, not optimized, and I can't find a way to control how much CPU/GPU it will use while rendering. Exporting is terrible overall, and saving projects is complex.”
“With a Ryzen 7 2700X and a 2080 Super, this program still freezes over the dumbest things. The program itself is good but unstable; even flipping a video 90 degrees is enough to crash the entire thing.”

The optimization of the software is widely criticized, with users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and complex project saving processes, indicating a lack of stability and user-friendliness. While it does support hardware acceleration and performs adequately on older systems, the overall experience is marred by poor controls and insufficient back-end support, leading to a frustrating user experience.
“It also supports hardware acceleration for certain tasks, improving performance and reducing rendering times.”
“This runs well even on older hardware.”

I am not really good with this software, so take this review with a grain of salt.”
“The controls are bad, the back-end support is non-existent, and worst of all, it's about as optimized as a tiger missing 4 chromosomes.”
“While it may have occasional performance issues, the software's overall feature set and functionality offer an excellent platform for creating engaging and professional-quality videos.”
