Color Corrector (Video FX) missing

Kathryn wrote on 6/1/2010, 1:53 PM
Hi,

I've had Sony Vegas 9.0 for a few months now.. and I've noticed I'm missing the color corrector video FX option.. It should be between color balance and color curves and it's not there. I was wondering fit here's a way to find it? Or bring it up? I've been trying to get it for a while and I just can't..

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Which version of Sony Vegas 9.0 do you have? Sony Movie Studio Platinum 9 Pro Pack has the color corrector video FX, and Sony Vegas Pro 9 has it. I'm not sure whether any of the other versions of Sony Vegas Movie Studio have it.

I have the regular Sony Vegas 9.0 Movie Studio.. and it's not in there. I assumed it would be but it's not.

According to the help file in Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9, only Vegas Movie Studio Platinum and Vegas Pro have the Color Corrector video FX plug-in. (According to the Vegas family comparison chart, Sony Vegas 9.0 Movie Studio has nearly 300 video FX but Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum has over 350 video FX.)

Oh. Never knew that. guess I should've gotten the SV platinum 9.0 instead.. Thank you though.. Guess I'll have to be without it. :(

Yeah I know what you mean, anyway, version 10 of the Sony Vegas Movie Studio family is supposed to be released June 8, 2010, so if you are inclined to upgrade to that, that would be the time to get the version with the features you really want.... Sony hasn't released the details yet, but typically, they offer a limited-time discounted upgrade price for owners of the current versions. You might get a good deal, especially since you just bought your version 9 a few months ago.

If you're interested in following the version 10 story, take a look at this thread, starting 5/21/2010.

That sounds great! I'll check that thread out.

Do you know if there will be more video FX (like color corrector on SV 10?

Thank you for telling me about this!

In the mean time, you can give this a try:

Funny you should ask! I don't know about version 10 having many more video FX, but one in particular that it seems like it may have, for the first time, is a secondary color corrector, in addition to the primary color corrector that the Platinum version 9 already has. Up until now, you had to get the much more expensive Professional version of Vegas to get a secondary color corrector (which I believe is supposed to let you change the colors of a specific range of colors while leaving the rest alone).

Keep in mind that there has been no official announcement yet, so the information people here have found is subject to change, and there will probably be a family of versions released some of which will have features others don't have.

Right, nothing official yet but if you look at the box (image shown at amazon.com) it states "NewBlueFX Audio and Video effects". The secondary color corrector will probably be NewBlueFX's Color Fixer Plus which is found in their Video Essentials package.

It will be interesting to see how many of NewBlueFX's effects will be packaged in VMS 10 HD Platinum Suite.

Intersting picture. They must have just put that up!

-They gave out the original NewBlue color fixer with VMS 8. Is that the same as Color Fixer Plus???... Presumably, it is something different this time. Part of me says they may include the Light Rays FX (which they gave away for free with a purchase a few months ago)
- Looks like we will be getting some audio FX too from NewBlue.
- The other interesting included plugin is the vocal eraser - which used to cost quite a bit.
