Hi, we just buyed vegas 17 pro Suite, and i have problem with install of the Boris FX addons - can anyone help me with the download and activation of it?
- in PDF i clicked the link for download the continuum file from BORIS FX web, then entered all the information, got confirmation that they will send us link in 30 minutes to our email. And thats it. Nothing came. Tryed for both title studio and for random one of the serials in boris. Any thoughts?

@Frantisek-Zana What VEGAS Pro suite contains is some parts of BCC 2019.5 :

Boris FX Continuum Lights Unit (v2019.5) ;

Boris FX Continuum Key and Blend Unit (v2019.5) ;

Boris FX Continuum 3D Objects Unit (v2019.5) ;

 

Here is full BCC 2019.5.2 downlaod link, maybe you can give a try: https://cdn.borisfx.com/borisfx/store/continuum-ofx/Continuum_2019_5_OFX_Hosts_12_5_2_Windows.exe

 

By the way, newest BCC version is 2020.5. And what you purchased is 2019.5.

yes, im aware of the version, still it will be sufficient for my needs. :) I will try the download, thank you.

Frantisek-Zana schrieb am 14.05.2020 um 10:08 Uhr

Hm. I got also 2020.5 title studio, which i installed. Now when i try your link, it wants to uninstall the previous version........ this is mess.

Then you have to make a choose.

Frantisek-Zana schrieb am 14.05.2020 um 10:30 Uhr

that doesnt make a sense... i bought vegas 17 Pro Suite which includes both 2019.5 continuum plugins + the title studio 2020.5 . There was no information about being not possible to use it at once :)

Reyfox schrieb am 18.05.2020 um 13:58 Uhr

I too have to admit that installing Boris FX can be complicated. I wound up buying Continuum 2020 complete for a greatly discounted price after contacting Boris. So I now have the full version perpetual.

You might try installing the Boris Title Studio (BCC 3D) plugin first and checkmark to not install unlicensed versions. Then install the other 2019 Continuum plugins and not the unlicensed one.... all this if I remember correctly how I did it initially.

There've been many discussions over the years on the forum re different versions of BorisFX products not co-existing together - unfortunately it's one or the other. Yes, 2020.5 will first uninstall 2019.5 - in the same way that NewBlueFX Titler Pro will override and replace previous versions of Titler Pro on the computer.

Title Studio 2020.5 is better featured than 2019.5 - why the need to have 2019.5 when 2020.5 will still read what what was done in 2019.5?

I have Boris Continuum 2020.5 complete. Got a real good price during Black Friday sale.

But in the past, I've gotten all the Boris and Sapphire working on my computer.

This is the email I received form BorisFX.

Use this link to download --
http://www.borisfx.com/download_files/BCCOFX_2020.exe

Note that this installer will work with all three Serials, but you will need to implement all three of them one by one.  To do this, after installing, go into the Start menu and in the All Programs/All Apps listing, and into the 'Boris FX Continuum OFX' folder - inside here the first item would be the one to prompt the Licensing tool again.  Since your Serials only cover 3 Units, I would recommend, on the final Serial's Activation, telling it 'Yes' when it asks you if you wish to Remove Unlicensed Filters.  This way, all of the Unlicensed filters/transitions of the Continuum package will not appear within your Vegas.

Has anyone got this working? The email dosen't seem to arrive ......why are there always problems with Boris stuff?

I have the same problem.

I bought Vegas pro suit 17 last Sunday (26/07/2020/. I installed the boris FX effect using the checkbox. Then i have a file which opens asking me to choose the Vegas version. I choose Vegas Pro suit, and i answered and put the serial. Then, i'm still waiting the email.

 

Reyfox schrieb am 30.07.2020 um 22:25 Uhr

I believe I provided the link above with instructions from Boris on how to install the effects.

As long as you have the serial number.

Yep, i tried and it works. Thank you.

I'm disappointed that there are no words, and that the official information when you install Vegas is not working.

Reyfox schrieb am 01.08.2020 um 12:13 Uhr

@Stephane no problem. I bought VP17 Suite last year and waited for the email to arrive from Boris with links and any additional information. I did email them several times, but it took almost a week to hear from them. I emailed during a long holiday weekend, so no one was able to reply.

Was I a little upset? Of course! I followed the instructions and thought that this was all automated. Simple. I get Boris email in a few moments.

But I do have to say, once I received the their email, they were prompt, apologetic, and answered every email after that within minutes. And since I already owned several Continuum Units, they offered me a perpetual license with 1 year upgrades for a price I could not resist.

Hmm, this still seems to be a thing. I am awaiting this same info.

So, from whom do I have to get this email from, Magix or Boris?

Perpetual license, huh...?

I have the same problem. Now I am on 18 and I bought the suite for Vegas 18, too. Same exact problem. Boris and New Blue effects do not work. I get the same messages with Boris and never get an email with the information! New Blue shows up - it just doesn't do anything. I will never buy the "Suite" version of Vegas again (unless someone at Vegas takes the time to FIX THIS!!

Pretty sure it is not my computer, as it's a brand new build with very fast components.

Reyfox schrieb am 10.02.2021 um 13:42 Uhr

This has really nothing to do with Vegas, but the 3rd party suppliers in how their plugins are installed/activated. You should contact them (NBFX and Boris) and let them know how you feel. Boris has a Facebook group and user forum. Post your experience there and see what happens. In the Boris user forum, responses are usually within a day... or even less depending on the timezone you are in.

I do agree, there should be something done about this since money has been spent and "good will" can be messed up without a solution. I've had no problems in the past with VP15,16,and 17Suites getting Boris installed as posted as "The Solution" above. NBFX has always been easy to install. Boris? Well, not so easy.

I now have in VP18, Boris Continuum Complete 2021, Sapphire Lighting and Render, along with NBFX TP5, Elements, Filters, and Stylizers, and Ignite Pro 5. Everything is working as it should.

@Reyfox Hi, I hope you can help, If i buy Continuum to work with Vegas Pro 18, I'm a little confused with the licencing, what happens after 1yr, does the program stop working? will i have to pay again? if i don't pay does it carry on working but don't get any updates after, thanks

Dexcon schrieb am 16.03.2021 um 07:05 Uhr

@Ehemaliger User  ... if you buy the Boris Continuum Complete [BCC] (the entire package - not individual Units) with the 12 months perpetual licence, you get 12 months of updates and support following the purchase. If you do not extend the update and support arrangement, no more support or updates are available following the expiry of the 12 months period, but you can continue to use BCC from then on as is.

@Dexcon Thanks, good to know it'll keep working, If i'm going to buy this at this price which isn't cheap, i'll prob pay the upgrade each yr but we'll have to see on that,

Regarding 'perpetual licence', is that the one they have listed as New Licence?

Reyfox schrieb am 16.03.2021 um 09:43 Uhr

Yes, New License is the perpetual license.

IF you do not need it now, and can wait until November Black Friday, they have outstanding deals. Last year, my new Vegas Pro buddy bought Continuum Complete with Mocha Pro for $625 or something like that for the Perpetual license in addition to buying Sapphire Render. You can also "renew" perpetual then if you want, or start a subscription at a reduce rate. You decide. Do the math. 3 years of subscription is less than the price of perpetual, and you get all the updates for those 3 years. Or go perpetual.

If you get the license with Vegas Pro Suite, it will keep on working in "that" version. Where the problem is, if you say upgrade to VP19 Suite with new updated Boris plugins, it will remove the past versions from VP18 Suite. There is a way around it, but it's problematic and I don't know what other "hoops" you would have to jump through to get it to work in present and future versions. But I would "think" that if you bought Suite now and either Edit or Pro for Vegas19, Boris "might" work with no problem as long as they don't change anything in the coding like what happened with Ignite Pro plugins forcing you to upgrade to 4.1 if you wanted to continue using them.

This has been an ongoing issue with Boris. So I opted for getting Boris Continuum Complete. No more problems with any version of Boris in the past and it works on VP14-18 with no problem. And it's an amazing piece of plugins. Far too many to explore fully.
