Can't install ZCAM Color Correction OFX plugin - VEGAS 17

Hello everyone!

I have this ZLOG ofx Plugin that I cant seem to make work with Vegas 17.
It is supplied by the company itself, and as it is a .ofx file, I assume it should work with vegas.
I tried and it shows up in Premiere but not in vegas...

After installation, I cannot see it in Vegas, it doe not appear anywhere in the Video FX folders...

Could someone try to download it and try to install it?
I don't really know what I am doing wrong here...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is the download link : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TfIHFaCyI9XS5JewiHsJ2kUDX7wQ1ywD

Many OFX plugins are host-specific, including most OFX video plugins.

On their download page, I see references to Adobe, FCPX, Scratch, and Resolve, but not Vegas.

Do you have other information saying it is designed for Vegas? Otherwise, the overriding presumption must be that it is not compatible.

@Musicvid

No I didnt, I assumed it would work because I thought OFX plugins were compatible for most NLE.

That being said, I will try and contact them to see if it is, indeed, supposed to work.

Thanks.

The video plugins are usually not universal. Many plugins have different versions for different editors, non-inclusive. There was a guy recently who thought his proprietary Media Composer plugin "should" work in Vegas. It's a nice wish.

@MarcAndreBilodeau I haven't been able to get that zcam plugin to be seen by Vegas either. Not sure Vegas really needs it, however. All the Zcam LUTs load fine into Vegas including those for zlog and the Vegas Color grading looks like it's just as functional as what the plugin offers. Only thing Vegas really lacks is the ability to load zraw footage. Vegas 16 was able to load Z-Raw but I think it was only seeing the embedded proxy stream. In any event if you use zraw, you can use their Z-Raw Suite which has the plugin embedded and can grade zraw footage and convert it to a format Vegas can load. Tried it myself and found conversion very slow and that it didn't look any better than shooting with h.265 w/zlog2.
