Mercalli V4 Plugins for Vegas

ken-wolter wrote on 5/4/2017, 10:43 AM

Hi -- I have just purchased and installed Vegas Pro 14 and I understand that Mercalli V4 Plugins for Vegas Pro 14 are to be available at no cost. I wonder if anybody can provide me a download link for these plugins. I have looked around as best I can within my installation of Vegas Pro 14 for these plugins and they appear not to be there. -- Thank you.

Mercalli V4 is part of Vegas Pro 14 and Vegas Pro 14 Suite, not included in Vegas Pro 14 Edit
If you have purchased one of these, you should get a link and serial with it (email)

When you purchased the boxed version of VPro14 the Mercalli Plugin installation files can be found on the DVD. When you purchased the download version of Vpro14 the Mercalli Plugin installation files can be checked in the downloadmanager. As Quitter stated, only ofcourse if you purchased VegasPro14 or VegasPro14 Suite.

This is what the Vegas Pro 14 download manager currently fetches:

English: http://dl04.magix.net/2016/proDAD/proDAD_Mercalli_V4_4.0.471.1_x64_VEGAS_Pro_14.exe

Dutch (I guess): http://dl-nl04.magix.net//2016/proDAD/proDAD_Mercalli_V4_4.0.471.1_x64_VEGAS_Pro_14.exe

German (I guess): http://dl-de01.magix.net//2016/proDAD/proDAD_Mercalli_V4_4.0.471.1_x64_VEGAS_Pro_14.exe

And if I click "Check Update", it tells me 4.0.471.1 is the latest version.

There was a small update released in February (with the same versionnumber) which corrected the bug that the analyze screen sometimes appears for one frame in the rendered output. This update can be downloaded here: https://www.prodad.com/Demoversion-29812,l-us.html and is just a few bits larger than the original installation file. I don't understand why this update has the same versionnumber and therefore is not recognized as an update.

Thanks a lot. Here's the direct link to that file, and looks like you don't need to be signed into the proDAD site to download it:

Having got that annoying First Frame, I followed your instructions. That first frame analysis warning post render has now gone away. Point is I wouldn't have known about this if 3Point hadn't revealed it here. THANK YOU 3P!

BTW, I didn't get any notif to update the Plug! Maybe MAGIX and ProDad need to have a höflich Konversation? - They're both in the same country - richtig?

As being a Dutchman living in Germany (Magix and Prodad country), I got this update information from a german Videoforum where a user had contact with Prodad about this issue. He was advised to use the "actual" Mercalli 4 plugin download. (the link Nick Hope is referring to), so it's not a real update.

I had also some contact with Prodad about the issue that the Mercalli 4 Plugin in Vegas is not able to proper stabilize "interlaced" footage. (The result is worse than the original). By accident, I discovered that setting the project properties of such an interlaced project to "progressive" before analyzing "interlaced" clips, eliminates this problem. According to Prodad, this was the right way to avoid the problem, which is caused by a wrong interpretation of Vegas (and not by the Plugin, as Prodad said). Unfortunately when rendering such a stabilized "interlaced" project, sometimes the annoying "analyze screen" pops-up again in the rendered output. Also picture quality is not that perfect than when I use Mercalli 4 SAL instead, for "interlaced" stabilization.
