What is a .VEG file?
VEG is a project from VEGAS Pro, a video editor. Created and opened by VEGAS Pro (now from MAGIX).
- Did you know
- VEGAS Pro began at Sonic Foundry, then passed to Sony and now MAGIX.
- VEGAS launched in 1999 as an audio-only editor at the NAMM show, gaining video editing tools in 2000.
- A .veg references the source media rather than embedding it, so the clips it points to must stay in place for the project to reopen intact.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read video-editing project files: Adobe After Effects (AEP, AET, AEPX) - walks the RIFX chunk tree for compositions, layers, effect match-names and asset paths; Adobe Premiere Pro / Elements (PRPROJ, PREL) - sequence, media-item and clip counts plus media paths; Sony / MAGIX VEGAS Pro (VEG, VF); DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design (DRP, DRT); Wondershare Filmora (WFP, WSP); and CapCut drafts (draft_content.json) - canvas resolution, duration, tracks and material counts.
- Depth of analysis
- .VEG is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .VEG file
- Drag a .VEG file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
