Combining FX bundles in a single VMS-install:

studio-4 wrote on 6/9/2021, 5:30 PM

I originally posed this thread as a question, but I found the answer immediately when I installed my new plug-ins: I bought another copy of Movie Studio 17 Platinum to get the currently bundled BorisFX' Stylize Unit 2020.5 and NewBlue Elements 3 Overlay. I currently have VMS 17 installed from my suite purchase last week which included only the FXhome Intensity plug-in.

The new bundled FX license download-links were included my VMS activation e-mail and I was able to successfully install the plug-ins to my existing install of VMS 17 without a hitch!

Are they different serial numbers for each activation?

Your posts are enjoyable reads. Your VMS posts deal with basic issues which are very helpful to us beginners.. Your VP posts are very technical. I have no idea what some of them mean. But they are not condescending, just informative and enquiring.

I have my add-ons, but it will be many months before I have the knowledge of VMS to be able to implement them. Just learning the different ways to do picture in picture. My practice videos are absolute rubbish content. However the making is so much fun.

Regards

Ross

Gee, thanks Ross! Nice of you to say! Well, what can I say? IT WORKS!!! Duh! I didn't have to install two instances of VMS 17 Platinum. All I did was install the new bundled plug-ins via the provided links in the main activation key email. The NewBlue installation happened to fail at authorization, but when I booted up my original Vegas Movie Studio 17 Platinum (purchased as the suite), an icon showed up on the taskbar—it was an applet to either buy or enter your activation key!

I was in VMS at the time I noticed this to see if the BorisFX plug-ins has installed (they did!), then tried a NewBlue effect, and the preview screen had a red 'X' across it indicating that it wasn't licensed. I entered the key into the applet, and voila! The red 'X' magically disappeared!

I assume all of the BorisFX Continuum effects are the ones with the "BCC" moniker (what does that stand for?). Woohoo! I'm a happy camper. Wouldn't you know? Had I waited until 6:00AM this morning I would've gotten the same VMS bundle for only $39! I bought it last night for $49 worried that the June 9th promotion deadline was quickly approaching. Oh well, I lost out on $10, so no big deal (I did buy VMS 17 twice, so there's that). Anyhow, thank you, Vegas community, Magix, BorisFX, and NewBlue!

Are they different serial numbers for each activation?

Sorry, forgot to answer your question. I have three different add-on packs from three different vendors:

1. FXhome Intensity VFX pack.
2. BorixFX Continuum Stylize Unit.
3. NewBlue Elements 3 Overlay.

Each had a unique download link (which expires in 90 days), each required a log-in account to the vendors' site, and each had a unique activation key.

Oh, please don't be so hard on yourself. And if you're having fun, you're doing it right! I've been doing still photography since I was about 7, and have been studying cinematography and filmmaking my entire adult life. This stuff doesn't come easily, but with wonderfully powerful tools such as Vegas, the creative work just became a billion times easier.

Study galleries of photographers you admire and watch movies with a more analytic eye. Pay attention to composition, lighting- and scene-contrast, and location selection (especially backgrounds). All the drama in photography is acquired 99% of the time by waiting for the right time of day to shoot. Avoid shooting at high-noon; try shooting when the sun is low in the sky at dawn or dusk when the angle of the sun is raking over the elements of the landscape/cityscape.

When shooting people, look for large sources (e.g., windows) for soft, wrappy light (I have a lot more lighting tips at my other site: http://lightbasics.com/). Always key from the opposite side of the face (the side facing away from camera) so that the light and shadow wraps softly around the face (i.e., the "penumbra"). Forget about "three-point lighting." This is a dated and limited technique. Modern cinematography often concentrates on large single-sources.

Below is an example of a large source, positioned to the side of the subject, and just a tad behind the subject, a technique my photo teacher called "3/4-backighting." I think it's one of the most beautiful set-ups there in is photography:

 

WIth a more critical eye toward other artists' work, and the world around you, soon, you'll be able to pre-visualize your ideas with greater precision.

Well, I am enjoying the crap out of my new FX plug-ins! I was excited to try NewBlue's DVE-effect. I placed the flying PIP effect on a shot and didn't see any Z-axis position control. I was like, "What?" Then I found it in the image mapper.

This allows you to pin the four corners of any video source to simulate perspective (e.g., like a floating movie screen in the sky). This is exactly the effect I was looking for (a common DVE-effect in modern broadcast switchers and new broadcast-like tools as in Blackmagic's ATEM switcher).

NewBlue Elements 3 Overlay Image Mapper effect (DVE).

Though the NewBlue Elements pack seems a bit light on the number of plug-ins, the handful they do include are really neat. Having the power to alter perspective of a moving image-panel is an effect I've coveted since the days of the first million-dollar Ampex ADOs in the early 1980s, so I'm really thrilled to have that capability in Elements!

Given that it was the early 80s, I imagine that was using linked C format VTRs. Go back further into the second half of the 70s and think of the then cutting edge CMX editing, usually using Ampex 2" VTRs - something we would consider these days as simple editing. I remember going to a regional TV station to produce a TV commercial in the late-ish 70s, and their two Ampex 2" VTRs both used 'crash' editing. Eeeek! It was about the same approach as editing on an Ampex 7000 1" helical scan VTR at my first job in the very early 70s..

Ah yes, the glory days of the 1" Type-C VTR (NOT!). The film school I attended had three of those with a CMX editor and a Grass Valley 300 switcher. I still remember attending NAB in 1981 and sitting at the Ampex booth where I made the sales engineer build me a six-sided spinning cube—I was enthralled!

I missed the 2" quad-machines, but witnessed the parade of early digital VTRs (e.g., D-1, D-2, D-3, D-5). I remember doing an edit session as a client at Hollywood Digital (back when post houses still hired pretty girls to bring you snacks and drinks) where they had a wall of Bosch D1 machines, one of the first 4:2:2 component-digital VTRs. They were the size of small refrigerators!

I drive through Hollywood quite often in the course of my job, and it's simply amazing the number of post houses which have closed their doors over the years: 4Media, Encore, Hollywood Digital, Complete Post, Pacific Ocean Post, etc. I remember when Kodak closed their Hollywood lab almost a decade ago, then Deluxe, and just now, Technicolor—an end of an era.

But, I can now buy Vegas Platinum for only $49!!! Can't say enough about this program. It's as good as I remembered from my Sony Vegas days 15 years ago, and now, of course even better with all the effects plug-ins and the speed of modern PCs and accelerated GPUs. And thankfully, my system has been extremely stable—running without a hitch on my 3.5GHz Xeon quad-core and cheap video card. Very happy customer!
