FXHome seemingly have released an update to fix the compatibility 'issues' with VP17.
This can be had as an upgrade if you have -like me- a previous version for $ 129.40.
Impatient but still undecided I shall observe if Magix can come up with a meaningful update strategy for Hitfilm Pro an Ignite owners that are already on VP17.

I have a previous version of Ignite and currently have Ignite as part of my current active HitFilm Pro subscription (even though FXHome stress that it is not a subscription), yet my upgrade offer to Ignite 4.1 is $159,20. That works out to be nearly $250 AUD (including the 3% credit card int'l xfer fee). FXHome say they only use USD, GBP and Euro, but it doesn't look like there is any way to select GBP instead of USD, important to me because the exchange rate to AUD from GBP is much better than the USD/AUD exchange rate.
I think that if I need to use an Ignite FX - which admittedly isn't all that often - I'll round trip through HitFilm, VP16 or Resolve.
nest VP16 into VP17 projects and do the 'old' Ignite stuff there..?
A great suggestion. I just tried it - a few video events in VP16 with a random different Ignite FX on each event and then created a veg project. On importing the veg project into VP17, the dreaded plug-in warning window popped up saying that none of the Ignite FX were installed. Drat!
It looks like having to render in VP16 or other NLE is going to be necessary after all.

perhaps some clever Magix coders could create a 'version hook' on the Nest to open with the appropriate Version in the first instance to provide additional backwards compatibility? @GaryRebholz might know?
