Thanks for the link! Got both Sony Vegas & Pinnacle Studio versions. FYI, each version requires registration -- NewBlue emailed unique keys for each one.
Interesting to see their big press announcement about it:
NewBlue is offering NewBlue Cartoonr free of charge to users of all :
Adobe Premiere Elements
Adobe Premiere Pro
Apple Final Cut Pro
Avid Liquid
Avid Media Composer
Avid Xpress Pro
Canopus Edius
Pinnacle Studio
Ulead VideoStudio
Ouch! What makes it worse is we caught this oversight a few days ago when reviewing the press release but somehow the correction still didn't make it in. Anyway, we love Sony Vegas. Big time.
Sometimes, when something is just so obvious it is no longer news, you forget to say it. (Lame excuse, but that's what happened.)
All the PR services have been upgraded with the correction. It should percolate through in due time.
Ya' know guys, let's give Todor a break this time around. Not only is this the coolest free visual fx plugin for Vegas yet (the number and quality of the presets alone are testament enough, kind of like posterization and rotoscoping all rolled into one), it comes without adware, spyware, and if the rest of the package is as promising, probably worth a shot.
I've done press releases and announcements for years, and one of the most difficult things is proofreading your own work. Wrong names, dates, times, even years are much worse than simple omissions such as Todor made, and I've made them all.
This is a great free plugin, and a good "tickle" for the whole package; sorry I won't be able to meet you at the Sony booth this year, I've got a full time gig.
Hey guys, I'm trying to install this, but every time I enter my name and e-mail, it tries to connect but it just ends up failing. Any ideas why? I'd like to give this plugin a try.
Check your firewall - it might be blocking it. We've been getting a ton of traffic too, so maybe the server was overwhelmed the moment you tried, but more likely something's interfering.
Thanks, Peter. Good point - there's a reasonable contingent of editors who like to keep their computers disconnected from the internet. I'm afraid we don't have a solution for you yet, but we'll look into it. I guess I could say, "Hey it's free!" but we really would like to make this available to everybody.
The simplest solution is to temporarily connect your machine to the internet while installing.
Todor, Sony's in the press release now, but it still may need another tweak.

Okay, it was my firewall, thanks. I'm having trouble now getting Vegas (6) to see the plugin...I rarely install plugins for Vegas so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
