While some users manage to work around these problems, the frequency and severity of the bugs remain a significant concern.
- “The biggest downside is the obnoxious freezes and crashes that after doing some research I managed to reduce but not 100% get rid of.”

The graphics capabilities of the software are generally considered inadequate for serious graphical work, with users noting that it struggles to support modern graphics cards for GPU rendering. While the program is stable in graphics mode, it lacks the necessary features and support for contemporary graphic design needs, leading to disappointment among experienced users.

- “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.”

The optimization of the software has received mixed reviews, with some users experiencing poor performance and constant crashes, particularly on older hardware. While it has been noted for its stability compared to other software, issues like ineffective GPU acceleration and slow processing times have led many to recommend alternatives like Movie Studio 17 Platinum for better performance. Overall, users suggest that the software is aging poorly and may only be worth considering if available at a significant discount.
- “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.”
- “It crashes constantly and the software doesn't even detect my GPU for better performance.”
- “This is a recommendation 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 Movie Studio 17 Platinum is much more worth it and similar in price, mostly because of the much better performance.”
- “I've changed FPS, I've changed resolution, I've toggled the settings that increase optimization, I even tried Sony Vegas Pro 18!”
