What is a .veg file?

A .veg file is a project file created by Vegas Pro (formerly Sony Vegas Pro and Sonic Foundry Vegas), a professional non-linear video editing software suite. This file does not actually contain any video, audio, or image media data itself. Instead, it acts as a container for the editing timeline, storing references to the locations of all source media files, along with the precise editing instructions, timeline arrangements, applied visual effects, audio transitions, color grading settings, and keyframe data. Because it only holds metadata and edit decisions, a .veg file is typically very small in file size. To share the complete project including the raw media, users must bundle the project or transfer the source files alongside the .veg file. It is widely used in television production, independent filmmaking, and YouTube content creation for precise video and audio post-production workflows.
