Please note that the title of the new version is Movie Studio 18. It's coming from a different section of the company and "with the cutting edge video engine of Video Pro X13".

And "the new Movie Studio 18 introduces a lot of changes in the workflows and a completely new layout". See the product pages here https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-movie-studio/

For a possible refund, please see the terms quoted here.

@j-v The new Movie Studio is still shown under Vegas products even though it isn't????

vkmast wrote on 7/14/2021, 5:48 AM

Because they want to sell the new product? We'll see if it will be at the VEGAS product pages in future.

I showed you that it already is, the link to the productpage in VMS 17 leads me to those Magix Movie programs

@j-v That's strange as the "Movie Studio Platinum Home Page" link takes me to https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-movie-studio/ which is the page I showed above which comes under Vegas. The first image appearing is different as they change. I screen grabbed the lady as a nicer picture!

You appear to be getting something totally different.

This gets me wondering what Vegas pro 19 will be like.

@j-v as you are one of the users of old VEGAS Movie Studio(s) and belong to the main target group, they want you to be aware of the new Movie Studio(s) ? 🙃

(Btw, I and I suppose others as well are directed to the same VCS VMS page.)

For the last month I was spammed daily by Magix for this Movie edit pro 50%... 37%... off , all went down the drain, I never bother to look.

This wouldn't be a bad deal if Video Pro X/Movie Edit Pro weren't so bad at audio editing. It's as if they didn't understand their own product line when they drag-and-dropped one product in for another.

End of an era.

Movie Studio Platinum was a pretty decent hedge against competitors, as it was a very healthy feature set at a really low price.

I wouldn't be surprised if it cannibalizing VEGAS Pro sales was also a factor, though I can empathize with the resource constraints involved in supporting two products for a smaller development team.

MAGIX really should have just axed this. They need fewer competing products, not more.

Hi,

This wouldn't be a bad deal if Video Pro X/Movie Edit Pro weren't so bad at audio editing.

I use mainly Video Pro X/Movie Edit Pro (VPX/MEP) and I have done audio in Vegas Pro. There is not much difference but I prefer VPX/MEP for one main thing - object volume curve. A volume curve cannot be done on an event (object in Magix parlance) in Vegas.

See my tutorials on Everything Audio in VPX/MEP.

Perhaps you can explain what you mean by "so bad at audio editing."

With VP18, I and a few others complained about how the VideoFX tab, etc... looked a lot like VMS, and how I personally did not like it. I preferred the the folder structure of VP17 and before. Now I see "why".....

you don't want 18... run from it and fast
