Miami, FL (April 2, 2026)—Visual effects software and plug-in house Boris FX has acquired a trio of software packages from MAGIX Software GmbH—Vegas Pro (formerly Sony Vegas), Sound Forge and Acid Pro from MAGIX Software GmbH.
The product development teams and engineers behind Vegas Pro, Sound Forge, and Acid Pro, based in Madison, Wisconsin, and Germany, will remain with the organization.
“We look forward to advancing all three with more power behind them,” states Boris Yamnitsky, President and Founder of Boris FX. “Boris FX has never been a single-host plug-in company, and this acquisition strengthens that commitment. We will continue supporting every major platform and host application as we always have, while our combined engineering teams accelerate innovation by bringing shared AI technology across our entire product line.”
The newly renamed Boris FX Vegas Pro video editing software is available in three editions—Vegas Pro, Vegas Pro Plus and Vegas Pro Ultimate. Each tier builds on the core editing platform with additional visual effects plug-ins and audio tools. Audio offerings variously offered across the three versions include AI-driven transcription and voice generation tools with Offline Speech-to-Text , Offline Text-to-Speech, audio editing and AI-driven audio cleanup.
Meanwhile, Sound Forge and Acid Pro join Boris FX’s Pro Audio division, which also includes Sequoia, Samplitude, CrumplePop audio cleanup software, and Music Studio.
