Changing the default location of the video plugins folder

Isaac-Benny wrote on 6/2/2022, 5:41 PM

I currently use Vegas 18.0 as my main editor though when I need to import bRAW files from my camera for coloring, I need to import to Davinci Resolve first. Resolve has issues where I can't open the program due to the OFX folder, as they both use the same directory for loading video plugins. All of my plugins are for Vegas, so I was wondering if there's a way I can change Vegas to search for these plugins in a different directory, or if there's another one besides Local Disk (C:)\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins.

If I remember, the OFX can be put here:

C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 18.0\OFX Video Plug-Ins

C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 19.0\OFX Video Plug-Ins

AFAIK, C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins is where 3rd party plugins are stored whereas the folders noted by set are where Vegas Pro's native plugins are stored. These are the only two options because, unlike VST audio plugins, Vegas Pro does not allow for the manual selection of OFX folder locations.

given that the OFX Video Plug-ins folder is for native plugins, could I still get away with putting my 3rd party plugins in that folder?

I don't really know because I've not tried it. But give it a shot because if it doesn't work you can always copy/paste them back to their original folder location.

Update: Tried it and it worked! Vegas recognizes all the plugins and my Davinci Resolve opens perfectly fine as well. Thanks for the help!
