Cutting

Auto Ripple automatically fills in gaps in tracks you are working on, this is great when cutting or shortening a clip.
You can enable it with Ctrl + L
Alt Dragging
Alt + Mouse on a media clip is a technique which allows you to shift its contents in a fast and effecient manner.
Shortcuts
Markers
Press M at any point on the timeline to place a marker which you can label
Rounded Masks
Holding Alt while drawing a mask with the rectangle tool allows you to draw rounded rectangles
Beware that resizing this mask will distort the rounded edges, so redraw it instead
Compositing
Paste event attributes
This allows you copy paste Event FX, Event Pan/Crop from a clip to another
To do this you first need to copy or Ctrl + C on a media clip then right click on a different one > Paste Event Attributes
Nesting
Just like pre-composing in After Effects, here you can do the same by saving a .veg file then dragging it into your main project .veg
Audio
Automation
In Vegas Pro you can automate audio by clicking on an audio track and pressing Shift + V for volume or Shift + P for pan. Or you could do both at the same time.
Resonant Filter
This is an audio filter which you can use to either have a radio or underwater effect to your audio.
The underwater "deep" effect is done by using these settings: {Frequency = 500Hz or less, Filter Type = Low Pass}
The radio effect is done by using these settings: {Frequency = More than 20Hz, Filter Type = High Pass}
Exporting
4k Vertical Video
VEGAS Pro has a bug where the maximum height you can render your video is 2304 pixels. You can get bypass this by typing your desired height, then clicking "OK" to save
This issue and solution is done with the MAGIX AVC/ACC MP4 format but may also exist for others.
Layout
Vertical Layout
Creating a verticial video with the default layout can be uncomfortable since small, this can be solved by dragging the video preview out to be a separate window, then resising it to be vertical.
You can always return to default by clicking View > Windows Layouts > Default Layout
