Which version of Vegas?

Are the Slate Digital plugins VST format?

I would probably start by temporarily moving the plugins out of their folders so that Vegas can't find them, then seeing if Vegas will start. Then in Options>Preferences>VST Effects you probably want to set C:\Program Files\VSTplugins\ (not C:\Program Files (x86)\Vstplugins) as your Default VST search folder and use the 64-bit versions of your VSTs. Note that Vegas does not support VST3 format.

Getting the same issue but its only VMR. Remove slate VMR plugins and the issue goes away. I've tried it with the most recent version of VMR.

To bypass the VST plug-ins search during the start-up process, try this:
- Right-click on the application's shortcut launch icon.
- Select 'Properties'
- Add the following command outside of the quotes in the Target field: /NOVSTGROVEL be sure to include a space between the last quote and the beginning of the command line

"C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 19.0\vegas190.exe" /NOVSTGROVEL

Just tried this on Vegas 21 build 315 but no joy. It's a shame because start up times have increased significantly with the last couple of builds (pretty sure it was 'normal' for the first v21 build). I haven't added any new VSTs, so I'm unclear as to why the very slow scan. I was hoping this might fix the issue and bypass the scan, but it doesn't seem to work on this build. Thanks all the same!

Also a heavy user of After Effects, Cinema4D and other video/animation/motion graphic production tools.

About to take a long hard look at Resolve, to see if it can handle my mixed format timelines without crashing. It's a shame, as I adore the Vegas workflow - but it falls over way too frequently for me to trust it. After 20+ years I've kinda had enough!

Most frequently used cameras include Panasonic G9, GH4, GH5 (into an Atomos Shogun Flame), GoPro Hero Black 5 and 6, Mavic Air 2 drone. A typical Vegas Pro timeline could include footage from any or all of the above, png/tiff seqeunces from Cinema 4D/After Effects (often with alpha channels), stills, voiceovers - a real mixed bag!

Thank you so much for sharing this fix! VEGAS was stuck on discovering all of my music-related vst plugins and simply would not start. After adding "/NOVSTGROVEL", it magically opened.
