Customizing Sony Vegas

by Douglas Spotted Eagle

When you first install Sony Vegas software, it has a specific look and layout, but did you know that Vegas can be customized to function and look exactly how you'd like it to function and appear?

There are several options available in Vegas to customize it's appearance and working layout. The default appearance of Sony Vegas looks like the image below.

Some users of Vegas prefer that the docking area be on top of the timeline rather than below. This is very easy to do, and fast to accomplish. This change is made in the Vegas Internal Preferences.
Before going further in this tutorial, be aware that opening the Internal Preferences for Vegas offers a host of potential problems. Therefore, be cautious, and don't modify anything in the Internal Preferences that you aren't absolutely sure of. If you make an error, and Vegas will not function correctly, hold CTRL+SHIFT while launching Vegas. This will reset ALL of Vegas  preferences to their defaults, and will cancel out any other preferences you may have specified. These are unsupported features, so be aware that Sony will not offer support for the product until the default prefs are restored.
