BCC EFFECTS IN Sony Vegas Pro 13 IN TRIAL MODE

This is my first posting on the forum, so I hope that you can make sense of my lengthy posting.

I have been using Sony Vegas 13 Platinum for a couple of months and getting fantastic chromakey results from using BCC Chromakey in Sony Vegas 13 Platinum

I recently upgraded from Sony Vegas 13 PLATINUM to Sony Vegas 13 PRO

When I used the same BCC Chromakey effect in Sony Vegas13 PRO this message appeared in the video preview screen

--------------------------------------------------------- MESSAGE START-------------

This BORIS FX product is in trial mode. To purchase a licence for this software please

call BORIS FX sales at: 1-888-77-BORIS or visit www.borisfx.com

---------------------------------------------------------- MESSAGE ENDS --------------

The plugins came with SONY VEGAS 13 PRO, I was given a serial number to use with Boris
from SONY when I downloaded the editing suite.

Please can you please explain this to me.

Previously I was running SONY VEGAS 13 PLATINUM using the BCC FX packages without any warning messages. My software is genuine bought and paid for versions.

The Boris BCC Chromakey effect worked in Sony Vegas 13 Platinum suite without any "TRIAL Version" message.appearing.

Having upgraded to Sony Vegas 13 Pro suite i am now worse off, inasmuch as I cannot use the BCC effects without seeing the "TRIAL Version" message, which means that I cannot use the Sony Vegas 13 Pro program to do what I could do in Sony Vegas 13 Platinum.

We specialise in green screen videoing which means that any projects created in Sony Vegas 13 Platinum cannot be opened in Sony Vegas 13 Pro without the "TRIAL version" message appearing on the output screen.

I still have my Sony Vegas 13 Platinum program which continues to operate with the BCC Chromakey effect as before.

Do I now have to purchase a very expensive licence from BORIS in order to use a BCC effect in Sony Vegas 13 Pro which I was using without purchase in Sony Vegas 13 Platinum suite?
I apologise for the length of my question, I wanted to ensure that you fully understand my situation.

Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Did you try and register them? in MS13 you get that message also if you try and register them. I'd also ask this question in the Vegas Pro forum.

The Boris FX that came with Sony Movie Studio Suite 13 did not come with any Serial Numbers.
There was no activation for this plugin, so you did not have to register it.
They will only work in Movie Studio Platinum 13.

My guess is that Boris added some sort of secret code which interacts with Movie Studio Platinum 13. When it sees this it keeps the plugins active. With every release of Movie Studio Suite, we normally get a "sample" of plugins from another software company. The idea is that it is giving us a free or highly discounted taste of an otherwise "not so cheap" plugin.

They do not work in Vegas Pro.
You will have to purchase the full retail product direct from Boris, if you would like this plugin to work in Vegas Pro.
