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!
