Most people may come to the need for uploading and sharing after post-editing. So, how to save VEGAS Pro as MP4 arises. After all, MP4 is the most versatile and suitable format for sharing and streaming.
Well, let's see how to export MP4 from VEGAS Pro in the following guide, step by step.
How to Save VEGAS Pro as MP4
In fact, you can directly export MP4 in VEGAS Pro. Follow the steps below to render your video to MP4 in VEGAS Pro.

How to Export HEVC MP4 From VEGAS Pro
VEGAS Pro added support for reading and writing HEVC/H265 files in VEGAS Pro 14 in September 2016. So, newer versions of VEGAS Pro support directly rendering your video as HEVC MP4. You can follow the above steps of saving VEGAS Pro as MP4, and use the Render As menu. Then select "MAGIX HEVC/AAC MP4" instead of "MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4" as the render format.
Note:
Be careful NOT to use the "Save As" menu, that way VEGAS Pro will save your video as a VEG file. You will have to convert the VEG file to MP4 afterward for uploading to YouTube or other platforms.
For VEGAS Pro 13 and early versions, users may find NO option to export H.265/HEVC encoded MP4 format. In this case, you can export VEGAS Pro as either format, then convert it to H.265/HEVC MP4 with a third-party video converter.
