Hey, Cosmin, I totally dig this feature request! There is so much good that could be inherited from Vegas Pro by any NLE dev team that would be smart to invest their time in studying this piece of software. I mean, I've tried lots of NLE's. But nothing comes close to simplicity of Vegas, how FAST you can actually get things done there, especially with the Vegasaur add-on.
Tell me, Cosmin, why did you decide to desert Vegas? I'm still rocking it in 2020, although it's five years old. The last Sony update was in June 12, 2015, before MAGIX took over.
The only problem with Vegas 13 is that it doesn't support all formats, even straight from the DSLR. What's more surprising is that VEGAS Pro 18 by MAGIX doesn't support some formats that Vegas 13 had no problem opening. So, it's a weird evolution of software, not to mention that it became pretty slow.
I was charmed by Resolve's ability to open all kinds of formats and there is no other NLE that does it as FAST as Resolve, I think. Premiere being one of the slowest. Vegas 13 - pretty fast. Resolve - very fast! But at the same time they don't even have a normal audio export. At least on Windows it's limited to AAC 192 kbps when saving to MOV/MP4, which is crazy IMO! How can you make a professional NLE and not ensure a simple quality sound output. So, I actually have to MUX video and audio together with YAMB or FFmpeg.
But I drifted away from the feature request. Yes! The small option to right-click any object on the timeline and being able to choose "Loop" would make a big difference. Great idea that originally came to bright minds of developers from Sonic Foundry, who were behind Vegas when I was still in school (over 20 years ago).
