The stability of the software is frequently criticized, with users reporting persistent glitches, crashes, and freezes that disrupt their experience. While some have managed to mitigate these issues through troubleshooting, many feel that the software remains buggy and that the developers have not adequately addressed longstanding problems. Overall, stability appears to be a significant concern, detracting from the overall usability of the program.
“The biggest downside is the obnoxious freezes and crashes that after doing some research I managed to reduce but not 100% get rid of.”
“It is a decent program, but I prefer if I didn't buy it on Steam; the program freezes up too often and crashes a lot more.”
“I have probably spent more time futzing around with working around the glitches than I have actual video editing.”

The graphics capabilities of the software are generally considered decent for basic video editing, but it falls short for more advanced graphical work, particularly with modern graphics cards. Users have reported stability issues when switching to graphics mode, and the lack of support for newer hardware has led to frustration among experienced graphic designers. Overall, the software is seen as outdated and not worth the investment for those seeking robust graphic rendering features.
“When you switch it to graphics mode, it's rock stable.”
“I've been creating video content, audio content, and graphics since Windows 95 and I've never used an Apple product.”
“I run multiple YouTube channels and it's a good chance that you've seen my motion graphics out there floating around.”
“The base program has decent ability for cutting together bits of film - but if you're doing any kind of graphical work, this just isn't it.”
“Does not support up-to-date graphic cards for GPU rendering... not worth a dime.”
“If disabling one of the graphics cards doesn't help with the issue, there isn't much else we can do since Vegas Pro 14 is no longer covered by technical support due to it being a legacy product.”

Users appreciate the music aspect of the software for its versatility in creating various video projects, including music videos and short films. While the learning curve can be steep, many find that with practice and good background music, they can produce professional-quality content. Overall, the software is seen as a powerful tool for anyone looking to enhance their video production with music.
“I haven't used many video editors before, but I got my hands on the trial version of Vegas 8 when I wanted to make anime music videos and immediately fell in love with it.”
“It's perfect for creating music videos, montages, home videos, and other cinematic projects using pre-filmed and/or pre-created footage.”
“If you know how to work the software, you don't need anything but this software for any production video/music.”
“The music in the game feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I found the soundtrack to be uninspired and not fitting for the game's atmosphere.”
“The audio mixing is poor, with music often drowning out important sound effects and dialogue.”

Users appreciate its effectiveness in creating entertaining edits and moments, although some comments suggest a lack of depth in humor. Overall, it is seen as a valuable tool for producing lighthearted and amusing content.
“This program is a legendary program for auto-generating YTPs and other 21st-century humor.”
“Where every edit is a humorous fight.”
“Funny comment about the tags.”

Overall, user reviews on optimization for the software indicate a mixed experience. While some users report stable performance and smooth video previews, many others experience poor optimization, frequent crashes, and issues with GPU detection, leading to frustration and a recommendation to consider alternative software for better performance.
“Performance wise, it's done better than any other software I've come across and has been the most stable so far.”
“The performance is pretty good so that you can preview your video very smoothly most of the time.”
“I've changed fps, I've changed resolution, I've toggled the settings that increase optimization, I even tried Sony Vegas Pro 18!”
“My computer isn't the newest, but this is an incredibly poor performance.”
“It crashes constantly and the software doesn't even detect my GPU for better performance.”
“This is a recommend only if you really really really need Vegas Pro and it's on sale, because otherwise this software is aging pretty badly. GPU acceleration doesn't work, it's slow, and it's missing quite a few useful features that make me think that Movie Studio 17 Platinum is much more worth it and similar in price.”
