I installed Mercalli 4 plugin Suite including standalone yesterday. The CmosFixr the standalone is working fine but the Mercalli 4 Vegas plugin is not showing in Vegas.

I didn't go for the trial as I have always had Mercalli 2 plugin and I want it for an important job tomorrow I contacted proDad but so far no reply.

Any ideas why it is not installed into Vegas, it is showing in Windows programmes.

Same here. Where did you report the problem? I will report it too, two voices might be heard?

Are you using Vegas Pro 13?

I've had Mercalli 3 SAL since its release - it was great.

I've had Mercalli 4 SAL since its release late last year - it is outstanding.

I upgraded to the SVP plug-in version the other day ($US79-20 on ProDad's website), but I'm not impressed at all. The couple of attempts I have made withf the stabiliser plug-in within VP13 resulted in vertical judder and ended up with an image worse than the original. Using M4 SAL with the same clip and with exactly the same stabilisation settings was completely and brilliantly successful.

Another thing, the 15 minutes video on ProDad's website fairly well explains the CMOS correction process with the VP CMOS plug-in, and says they'll be back after the rendering process, but fails to say how to render the CMOS correction. I haven't found a button so far in the CMOS plug-in that says 'activate' or the like, and the on-line manual also fails to mention how to finalise the CMOS process in VP - do I smart render or render to another track in VP - I have no idea. Or is there a hidden button in the plug-in which isn't all that obvious?

IMO, the VP plug-in does not equal the SAL version.

Yes I am, latest build. The OFX folder is there but Vegas doesn't see the stabilizer plug in. I did have M4 SAL before too and that works perfectly.

Same thing here. CMOS plug in shows up, OFX folder there but the stabilizer plug in is missing in action.

I have the same issue and got the following response from ProDad:

Hello,
we are working on a solution, that´s a sporadic problem and not avialable in our machines.

Please install before the last update of DirectX in your system. The last version can you find at the Microsoft homepage.

Please tell me your result.

You have more problems, then deinstall all NewBlue effects in your system for a test and inst Mercalli V4 for Vegas again.

I got an email from proDAD suggesting I update Windows and reinstall the plugin. Win-7 was already updated but I did an uninstall and reinstalled of the plugin and got the same result. I replied to the email with my results and a few minutes later got a link to a new version of the Vegas plugin. The second version worked perfectly for me.

Nice to have such excellent support.

I downloaded the new version and all is good now. Great tool to have inside Vegas!
