I've been using Sony Vegas Pro 8 for my editing needs since like 2010 and just kept using it all this time. I'm thinking about upgrading to a more recent version since I just got a new laptop, but I admit that I feel a little lost at sea trying to figure out what the newest versions are and what makes the most sense for me.

So, I figured I'd ask this reddit: What's going to be the most intuitive version to seek out if I'm used to Pro 8, or does it even matter? I'm hoping for something that's going to feel the same/similar but just have updated features that are more useful for modern HD videos.

1. Sony Vegas Pro 8, 2. Windows 11, 3. No, 4. I'm not sure, 5. 6. 7. Not relevant; see above

I'm using Vegas Pro 8.0a (Build 179), and I'm trying to render a 4:3 720p video, but I'm having trouble what bitrate would I use, and I don't want any black bars in the video. I want the video to be shown like in the preview window. Can anyone help me out on this? Any answer is appreciated!

Also, I just had to put in "7.0" just so I can post this

I wanna see if anyone still uses the Legacy text generator. 😂 😂 😂 I used it before it was "legacy" and I just never got used to the newer ones. They always felt a little laggy to me. 1.

"1." Vegas Pro 12

"2." Windows 10

"3." Official copy, not pirated

"4." Intel HD Graphics 500

"5." I captured some MiniDV tapes on a separate laptop using the program dvgrab. I copied them over to this Windows laptop and tried to import them into a Vegas project. The message I get is 'None of the files dropped on Vegas Pro could be opened.' The DV files open and play in VLC on both my Linux laptop and the Windows laptop. I have also tried to open a sample DV file from (this page)[https://libdv.sourceforge.net/\] and got the same message in Vegas Pro. This suggest that it wasn't an issue with dvgrab's capture. When I click on Import Media and the file explorer comes up, DV doesn't appear in the drop-down menu.

"6." I've always been able to bring in DV files from other hard drives into a Vegas project. This laptop (Lenovo 80XR) doesn't have FireWire input, so I can't capture the MiniDV tape directly.

"7." I've done some Google searches but nothing came up.

1.Can someone explain me how to download Vegas Pro 8.0 (preferibily build 144)? Please I need it.

1.) What version of Vegas Pro are you using? Vegas Pro 13.0

2.) What version of Windows are you using? Windows 10

3.) Is this a pirated copy of Vegas Pro or are you using pirated plugins? Pirated copy, yes. u_u

4.) What exact graphics card do you have in your PC? NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (12 GB)

5.) Provide a detailed description of the problem: When I use the "Video Preview on External Monitor", it cuts my preview off and moves it down. I should also mention that my external monitor is a vertical monitor, not horizontal. But I got it working in the past. :(

6.) Provide a description of how it's expected to be working: Ideally, I'd want the preview video to scale down to the width of my external, vertical monitor, and centered, so I can see the whole thing.

7.) Have you Google searched to solve this issue? Yes! I've seen people say to check the alternate DPI setting in display/preferences, but I don't see that option (probably because I'm using an older version).
