I would like to know if there will be an upgraqde offer for those of us who own Sony Vegas Pro 13. (I have the SVP 13 Suite) As for now there is only a full price purchase option available. I would definately like to continue onboard Vegas Pro and move to v14 but not for the full price. Should I wait? How long?
Thanks Nick! I checked it out and it gives me the offer $299 for the Suite. Now, is that it? Or will there be another offer? I haven't heard anything from Magix and nothing has popped up within Vegas even though I use it daily.
Also before I upgrade, will my existing plugins from SVP13 Suite (NewBlue, HitFilm, Boris Continuum etc) work in v14?
It seems to me Magix released v14 and then went on vacation. There is no communication whatsoever from them. We hear about time limited special upgrade offers and start to panic. But no clarification from Magix. How hard can it be to just write a clarification message here in the forum?
It is obviously an error that should be fixed immediately - can't imagine it would be too difficult either to remedy, which makes the whole situation quite unbelievable.
I am also wondering why it is so difficult for Magix to not include a UPGRADE button next to the BUY NOW button. It would clean up a lot of this mess so quickly.
I am giving Magix the benefit of doubt and will patiently wait until Monday 26th September 2016, to see if I ever receive my first email from them. If I never receive any email about Vegas Pro 14 being released, I will know at last that I and many others who do not live in the USA, have been fed lies and BS for the last couple of months. Very disappointed so far. I wanted this to succeed, but losing faith rapidly. There is only so much that people will tolerate before abandoning ship. I'm not going to waste any more energy with this, so will retire to the sideline.
I can't help but feel that there is a vibrant discussion taking place within Magix management as to what the price of upgrading to VP14 will be for existing Vegas Pro customers. If they don't sort it out soon, their marketing campaign for V14 will likely be of most benefit to their competitors.
With so much goodwill to Magix over the last few months, Magix now seem to be doing their best to alienate their existing and inherited VP customer base. Unfortunately for us, their VP14 launch marketing campagn is turning out to be a disaster.
I thought the $199 offer was for Vegas Pro not the Suite. It included a free upgrade to VP14. When I bought the Vegas Pro 12 Suite there didn't seem to be an upgrade to the VP13 Suite at the time so I went back to VP13. When Magix does eventually email us about the upgrade I hope they have a VP13 to VP14 Suite offer as well. If they do I might consider it.
I have the same thing with the newsletter,like many knew nothing about the summer offer while i registered on MAGIX site in June, not one newsletter either still about VEGAS or any, i find out about that summer offer by accident on their Facebook page,made me mad, then i complained about it on their Facebook about the lack of information to their customers, in the beginning i looked at both sides, as they could be overwhelmed of the VEGAS users, questions, etc. but no more, this is a very bad move of them i feel.
I did get yesterday a response with the upgrade offers, but after reading a lot of Bugs and no updated GPU support it is not worth it, and then the so-called offer in my mail is not an upgrade offer, the offer is great for new customers i agree, but why must existing VP13 users pay $350 again (oh ye $50 off thru some link i read somewhere), shameless sorry, a UPGRADE shouldn't be the same price as an OFFER and not a few bucks less either. And not to mention the valid till 27 September too, what a way to welcome VEGAS users, jeez.
Overall.. disappointed too for sure, sorry for the burst out, normally i don't type this much,
i am glad VEGAS is alive thanks to MAGIX but this way of communication and threaten existing users and the way they are marketing this all makes me doubt and go to the side line same as you and stay at VP13.
Their Twitter feed has confirmed the upgrade is "only via their newsletter and within the indicated time frame." Guess that's it then. Too busy to switch right now but will regretfully decide between davinci and premiere over Christmas.

Just read it to...what a blunder at marketing, so many negative threads and questions about users waiting for newsletters and key's, and not ONE reaction of MAGIX themselves, its almost laughable all
Might I suggest that we all contact Magix Support about the problems with their upgrade offer or lack thereof. I just sent them questions about the length of the special offer and about the weird result that comes from using their their upgrade your software page (https://support2.magix.com/customer/vegas/upgrade) where if you have Vegas 13, you're offered Vegas 13 as an upgrade. Same thing happens if you try to upgrade Sound Forge Pro 11 (the current version). It brings up Sound Forge Pro 11 as the upgrade.
Thanks, marc-s, but videoguys' price is only $13 cheaper than the (lousy) upgrade offer by Magix, and it doesn't look like Mercalli is bundled with it.
VideoGuys has all three versions for sale. Pro Edit and Pro are slightly discounted and Pro Suite is slightly more expensive. Upgrade price for Pro is the same as the price for the non-upgrade version.
Actually if you click on the "included" tab it says:
VEGAS Pro 14 software
DVD Architect software
proDAD Mercalli V4
NewBlueFX Titler Pro Express
You can also get another %5 off by using the coupon code listed at the top of the page. I'm not trying to send everyone to Videoguys but I am pointing out the fact that Magix is charging more for their own product during a supposed limited deal rollout.
