Downloaded boris fx for vegas pro 18 and activated but cannot find it in vp video effects menu even when searching for "bcc" - how to find and use boris fx with pro 18?
There's been a number of people complaining about VP18b527 not showing fx from Boris. It turned out they were using a pirate version of Vegas. So that could be your answer, but if not, there's methods of repairing Boris plugins by deleting various cache directories. Could try searching forum for info or someone else will likely be here soon to explain procedure
@Aleksandar-Ilich first one i would try is go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VEGAS Pro\18.0 ~& delete
plugin_manager_cache.bin & svfx_plugin_cache.bin files from the BIN section, this will force Vegas to reload your plugins,
If you purchased VP18 with BorisFX, you would have received via email where to download and how to activate it. Follow those instructions and all should be well.
Here is a screenshot of VP18 Build 527 with BorisFX Continuum showing up just fine.
If you have more than one Boris BCC filter/plugin installed on your computer, all MUST be from the same BCC version. If they are not, only the BCC plugin/s from the most recent version will appear in Vegas Pro. For example, if you have a BCC plugin from BCC version 2020.5 and another BCC plugin from version 2021.5, only the 2021.5 plugin will appear. This from BorisFX's Knowledgebase:
Q. I had some older Boris plugins that disappeared. What happened?
Only one version of Boris FX Continuum plugins can be installed for VEGAS Pro at any one time. So, if you have an older version of VEGAS with legacy Continuum plugins, these will be replaced with the newer versions that ship with VEGAS Pro 19. We highly recommend uninstalling any existing Boris FX plugins previously installed on your system to avoid problems. To do this, right-click the Start button and click Control Panel. Go to Programs and Features (if your Control Panel is in Category view, go to Uninstall a Program). Find Boris FX Continuum, click to select it, and then click Uninstall.
However, if you want to keep your older Boris FX plugins, then you do not install these current products as they will overwrite any older plugins.
