Seems like Sony is streamlining their product line while Magix is trying to get a leg up to increase brand awareness. To be honest, Sony hasn’t really been doing much with Vegas for a while, so it seems to be what’s best for the suite. I do have to wonder how MAGIX will position the suite in an environment where the price of video editing software continues to diminish. Sony Vegas was one of the earliest NLE platforms I learned to cut on back in the day, so there is a bit of nostalgia for that platform. The SCS Catalyst Browse and Catalyst Production Suite will continue to be developed by Sony for professional broadcast and production applications.” We already plan new versions of Vegas Pro and Movie Studio this autumn. We’ll continue to innovate and support all SCS customers who purchased products from Sony. “We purchased the Sony Creative Software products, including the full Vegas Pro, Movie Studio, Sound Forge Pro, and ACID Pro product lines. RedShark reached out to MAGIX, who gave the news outlet the following information: That would be another indicator that the company would want to hire the developers. With a new version of the software planned for this fall, I have to wonder if Sony is already in the middle of a product update, and MAGIX will just finish it.

This autumn, we plan to release new versions of the video-editing programs Vegas Pro and Movie Studio, which are heavily oriented toward the customer requirements of today.” We have already strengthened our presence in the United States in order to propel development and sales. “These products from Sony Creative Software are the perfect addition to our portfolio. We will focus on developing these technologies and making them even more powerful workflow solutions for our professional broadcast and production customers.” Our suite of Catalyst products has carved a unique niche in the production community.

“The MAGIX team has a unique expertise in software and will breathe new life into these storied media titles for professionals and consumers. Sony’s Professional Solutions Americas president, Alec Shapiro, said this in a statement about the sale: There’s no word on whether they will bring on the developers, but I would be surprised if they didn’t, as they know the platform better than anyone at MAGIX.

MAGIX has purchased the entire Sony Creative Software suite, which includes Vegas Pro, Movie Studio, Sound Forge Pro, and Acid Pro product lines.
