It's not possible to change the image but it can be hidden so that it doesn't show during the startup process. To hide the splash screen, go to Internal Preferences (Shift-Options and select 'Internal ...' from the bottom of the menu that opens) and then type Splash into the search field, then change overtype FALSE with TRUE in the 'Hide logo splash screen on startup' field then click OK.

Thereafter, the splash screen will not appear at startup. BTW, this won't make the startup duration any shorter.

Another option, get Vegas Pro 22 which has a completely different splash screen. To test it out for yourself, have a look at the trial version of Vegas Pro 22.

Also, the splash screen that you've uploaded shows that you have build 108 of Vegas Pro 21, the original release. There have been many updates since the original release, the last being build 315. Is there any reason that you have not been updating with each update? Hopefully you do not have a pirated version of Vegas Pro 21 as pirated versions are typically the original release and are unable to be updated.

@rafael_abelyar As Dexcon pointed out, the splash screen cannot be changed, it can only be hidden.

I also noticed you are using version 21 (build 108). Are you still using Windows 7?

A good point. Here is the splash screen for Vegas Pro 21 build 315:

To get build 315, just go to the Vegas Pro 21 listing under My Products in your MAGIX My Account and get Vegas Pro 21's installer there - it will always install the latest/last version, build 315 in this case.

How can I change the Image apearing at the very start of Vegas Launch to some other picture I choose?
I mean this:


@rafael_abelyar, why are you using such an old version of VP 21? Are you using a cracked version of VEGAS?

rafael_abelyar wrote on 10/17/2024, 5:48 PM

Thanks a lot for the tip. The aim is not in decreasing the time for start-up. I just wanted to replace splash. For example in GIMP I just put the picture with flowers instead of mushrooms each time they make their updates.

go to Internal Preferences (Shift-Options and select 'Internal ...' from the bottom of the menu that opens) and then type Splash into the search field

Thereafter, the splash screen will not appear at startup. BTW, this won't make the startup duration any shorter.

rafael_abelyar wrote on 10/17/2024, 5:53 PM

I prefer my own splashes.
I even have my favorite splash image which I just every time put to specified folder each time when GIMP updates.

A good point. Here is the splash screen for Vegas Pro 21 build 315:

@rafael_abelyar Gimp is not a professional application for a comparison. Vegas Pro, Premiere pro, After Effects, Photoshop, these are all professional editing applications, where none of their splash screens can be changed or altered.

@rafael_abelyar Sorry, i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about here.....Anyway, you asked us a question and we all provided you with accurate answers. There is no need for the conversation to go any further than the topic at hand.

rafael_abelyar wrote on 10/18/2024, 3:35 PM

Dear Steve, if you're talking about accuracy of answers, I would like to mention that the point about "GIMP isn't professional application" has nothing to do with the possibility to change the splash appearance. The answer "impossible" is a proper answer considering the "as is". This is not good in its essense, however, it informs on being of things as they are now. Dexcon noted that and I got it in the first place.

I wished I could say you will get it about what I had said at the comment earlier, but I cannot do that. At my best vision you won't.

Likewise in my other Question I just copied script and used it gratefully having weak idea how it works. I just say "Thank you" to a guy assisted me. You could follow my example.

Also I just mentioned that GIMP is closer to best practice. Saying they have some irrelevant attribute like "not-professional" sounds like excuse. My exapmple highlights how Vegas could be better.

I appreciate the assistance on essense and eager to underscore achievements, but not accepting excuses. In future essence is valued.

In the area of my expertise when someone adds details I cannot assist on, I just stay silent because I will be able be useful afterwards.

...or maybe never.

@rafael_abelyar You have done what i cautioned you not to do, and thus became snarky in your comments. Your posts will now be closed.
