Is it worth waiting for new plugins or effects?

You see, I might be an intelligent and determined person, but I will not switch to the stupid and complicated PR (Premiere Pro), AE (After Effects), or DaVinci.

Yes, those programs are powerful, and everyone fawns over them, but the problem is they are overly cluttered with useless features and are simply inconvenient to work with, unlike VEGAS. In Vegas, everything is fast and becomes automatic for me; everything is at hand on one workspace. You open it and just work. I know how to work in PR, AE, and even DaVinci. The problem is that these programs are VERY illogical and waste my time. I can't work quickly in them because they are simply illogical and the way the settings are laid out is just stupid. 🙂🙂

They have many supported plugins, both paid and free, but there's no point. In PR and AE, I literally have to memorize new plugins and figure out what does what (in Vegas, everything is visually clear and there's a column for it).

So, the question is finally this: is it worth me waiting for a new version of Vegas or for plugin support? Or something new? Lately, VEGAS seems to be dying in terms of plugins, and its AI features on my RTX 3060 simply don't want to work properly—it just freezes.

Specifically what plugins are you wanting to use in Vegas that are not "supported"?

VEGAS supports various OFX plugins. I use NeatVideo, Graide Color Curves, PluralEyes, and also scipt-based ones like AutoCaptions and Vegasaur regularly.

What are you looking for a plugin to do? Maybe we can recommend one?

Can you say more about which AI feature causes VEGAS to freeze (and what version of VEGAS)?

VEGAS поддерживает различные плагины OFX. Я регулярно использую NeatVideo, Graide Color Curves, PluralEyes, а также основанные на скриптах, такие как AutoCaptions и Vegasaur.

Для чего вы ищете плагин? Может быть, мы сможем порекомендовать что-то подобное?

Можете ли вы рассказать подробнее о том, какая функция ИИ приводит к зависанию VEGAS (и какая версия VEGAS)?

22, Or take IGNITE, for example. I couldn't find it anywhere. It has some useful little effects, but the selection is pretty meager. Sure, i can do everything manually—keyframe it, tweak the settings—but i just want to lazily drag and drop an effect and get a decent edit without the hassle. Well, the banal Universe... There's no point in buying a license if only version 2025.3.2 works. Smart Mask 2 AI is the laggiest AI there is; I just don't use it. Thankfully, I have Mocha (weird as that sounds). Sapphire sometimes disappears if Vegas is installed on a different drive—that's my fault, no big deal—but my Sapphire is licensed. Although, at this point, it doesn't even matter. Of course, I’d like to have fancy transitions, effects, you know, stuff the program with plugins. But when you install VEGAS and then go looking for plugins, it's easier to just download cracked versions than to buy them, because at least there they indicate whether something will work or not. The Universe plugin has disappeared multiple times after its own updates.

Maxon doing something not good with Red Giants's plugins ((( FxHome just doesn't exist anymore (You can find only old versions of Ignite)

Please, tell what plugins do you really want? I began to write some ofx plugins, and maybe in the end of the Year I'll release some of them.

Can you send me some examples of what effects do you want and what money you ok to spend for it?

Thank You!

HERE is a list of plugins that worked with Vegas. No need to use "cracked". It is stolen software with who knows what malware is attached when you install it when you can usually download a trial version.

Ignite Pro is from FXHome (Artlist). They ended it a couple of years ago when Artlist took over FXHome. I have Boris FX Continuum Complete 2025.5, Newblue FX TotalFX360, Ignite Pro 5, proDAD Vitascene V5, Picture Enhanzr and Mercalli V6, Graide Color Curves and Color Match, Vegasaur, Happy Otter Scripts, and a couple of Sapphire Units from the past.

ЗДЕСЬ это список плагинов, которые работали с Vegas. Нет необходимости использовать слово «треснувший». Это украденное программное обеспечение с неизвестно каким вредоносным ПО, прикрепленным при его установке, хотя обычно вы можете загрузить пробную версию.

Ignite Pro от FXHome (Artlist). Они прекратили это пару лет назад, когда Artlist поглотил FXHome. У меня есть Boris FX Continuum Complete 2025.5, Newblue FX TotalFX360, Ignite Pro 5, proDAD Vitascene V5, Picture Enhanzr и Mercalli V6, Graide Color Curves и Color Match, Vegasaur, Happy Otter Scripts и несколько Sapphire Units из прошлого.

Of course, they are very expensive, and there's a reason for that price tag, but when it comes to pirated plugins with viruses—the kind you install from who-knows-where on YouTube from freaks—some pirates managed to "port" some plugins to VEGAS. Before, FX and Ignite either weren't supported or had some issue; only the pirated version that was originally for AE could run on VEGAS, and it was virus-free. Of course, I'll buy the plugins for stable work, but when I saw how much the whole package would cost, I'd rather wait for new native features in the program or find a safe crack. And yes, I'm no novice when it comes to viruses or software; many pirates just bundle an installer that sets everything up automatically. If the paid Sapphire sometimes just doesn't show up, the pirates managed to make it work with a single button. Of course, I won't pirate these plugins, but my god, when you add up the monthly subscriptions for my AI tools, servers, VPN, daily expenses, and internet provider—at these prices, it’s almost tempting to turn into a "pirate."
