Users note that Vegas offers the fastest performance among video editing software compared to Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve, although Adobe is considered more stable. It's recommended to save frequently, as crashes can occur with any video editor due to RAM usage.
- “The optimization in this software is impressive, allowing for smooth editing even with high-resolution footage.”
- “I appreciate how the program efficiently utilizes system resources, making it possible to work on multiple projects without significant lag.”
- “I've tried Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve as well, and Vegas has the fastest performance out of the three. Although Adobe is admittedly a bit more stable, just make a habit of using Ctrl+S, as all video editors will crash every once in a while due to typical RAM issues.”

- “Despite the potential of the game, the poor optimization makes it nearly unplayable on mid-range systems.”
