If you mean the "send to HitFilm" feature – there is no relation to OFX but it needs VP15 to be able to read the HitFilm project data. It always worked that way regarding the HitFilm integration in Vegas Pro.

"If I install the Ignite Pro Express …"

Not sure which version you mean. There is no "Ignite Pro Express". But the general rule here is your latest installation will overwrite the access from Vegas Pro to former ones. So you would need to re-install HitFilm Pro 2017 to see the Ignite Pro FX (as being part of HitFilm Pro 2017) in Vegas Pro again.

Thank you @Marco. it was Ignite Express 2017 I was referring to, not Pro.

This is just to raise awareness that the New HitFilmPro [6 aka 2018] doesn't work with Vegas 14...(and my license for HFP6 doesn't give me 2017..which does work)

In VP14, I get Add HitFilm Effect when right-clicking a video event ... new HF Pro opens when selecting Add HitFilm Effect. However, the HF option does not show in VP15 even though both HF17 and new HF Pro are installed.

@Dexcon seriously? You're saying HFPro integration (add HF effect..) is NOT working in VP15 either?? Have you raised this with Hitfilm before I feel forced to upgrade Vegas within the next 2 days??

If you install Hitfilm Pro 6 then Vegas Pro 15 integration of HitFilm Pro 5 (2017) will be overwritten and failing. You would need to re-install HitFilm Pro 5 to get it back in Vegas Pro 15. Maybe you could also modify the HitFilm config file of Vegas Pro to get it back (I didn't test this yet).

@Marco. , before I submit a support ticket, can you confirm HFP6 IS in fact working with VP15?

No, HF Pro 6 does not yet work in Vegas Pro (what is what the support told you: it needs a modification made by Magix, first). It's HF Pro 5 which still works in VP 15 (and also the latest Ignite version).

Not quite @Marco. HF support told me that HFP6 DOES work with VP15, but NOT with VP14 'because Magix doesn't support the integration'.

I wanted to know IF that's true..if it works..I cant try because my VP15 trial has expired and I only have VP14.

Also, Ignite is no longer 'bundled' with HFP6. needs to be purchased separately.

The quote of the support message you posted above says HF 6 will work in VP 15 as soon as Magix would have updated VP 15 to support it. It not yet happened.

..that clarifies it, Thanks Marco!

latest charade update:

Magix customer service:

Have you installed their latest update?   https://hitfilm.com/support/hitfilm-pro/

The supported hosts is determined by HitFilm, so we recommend contacting them to see if it is expected their version 6 application would be compatible with VEGAS 14 and or 15.  

Hitfilm customer service:

Thanks for getting back to me. There are extensive updates still required for the manual. The website always has the most fully up to date info available.

Ive added a license fort the old version, so you don't need to wait for the Magix update. It is in your account now.

[license for Hitfilm Pro 2017 has not yet arrived]

As a follow up to my earlier post re HF Pro integration with VP15, i did contact HF Support. Their reply is as follows:

Thanks for contacting HitFilm. HitFilm Pro supports integration with Vegas 15. As soon as Magix
update Vegas 15 to support it as well, the integration will work. It just
requires a small update on Magix' end, which we expect will be coming soon.

Hopefully, the next VP15 build will contain the link.

We have put support for the new version of HitFilm in VEGAS Pro 15 and will be available with the next update.

That's excellent news, MagixDerek. Thank you and the Magix team.

Thank you @VEGASDerek. Btw, I've received an interim HFP2017 license today, as promised.

I've lost a lot of faith in Hit Film Pro. I tried running it on my Windows 7 machine, a machine that runs every other software program I have, including Vegas 14, Adobe Premiere, After Effects, LightWave, and many other programs, and it kept freezing up. I submitted a ticket through Hit Film and tried every suggestion they made, and it still wouldn't work. Ultimately, they just gave up and so did I. Hit Film does run on my Windows 10 machine, but that's not the main computer I use. I've never had a software program just not work and then the developer just give up on the issue. So it doesn't surprise me any issues that might come up with Hit Film. I want to support FX Home and give competition to Adobe, but I just don't feel the software is ready for prime time. That's just my experience.

Integration of HitFilm Pro 6 works fine now in Vegas Pro 15 build 261.

^This seems to be the case indeed.

Make sure you Un-install your HFP6 after the Vegas upgrade, before attempting a simple over-the-top Re-install or Repair option, as this wouldn't work for me. (HFP2017 integration remained resiliant). Thanks for fixing this up so quickly @Marco. appreciated! [PS: As a loyal customer, I have now invested in VP15]

added information:

BEWARE

The 'native' HFP plugins for Vegas are part of HitFilm 'Ignite'. Apparently, Ignite was part of HFP2017 but is no longer sold with HFP6. Hence, none of your HFP6 effects will show up in VP15, even though 'right-click' integration works.

Their online manual still doesn't state that, nor does the webpage / frontpage / product page clearly.

It's so frustrating...

So Hitfilm are asking extra money for something that doesn't work. What came together has now been separated to create a "Suite". I just noticed that the system requirements for the latest Hitfilm Pro and Ignite Pro list Windows 8 so I won't be touching it. No Windows 7, bye-bye Hitfilm.

..still playing cat and mouse..keeping you updated;

@Kit-As-Was, I understand your pain, loved Win7, 8 was crap and so the start with 10. But we all know, there's no road backwards, so eventually, if you want to stay on the pulse, you might have to consider the dreaded upgrade path of no return..that's the reality of it all..

I totally agree. How long are software developers supposed to customise their programmes back to ... Windows XP, ME, 95 or even 3.1? I am not that computer code literate to know for sure, but I wouldn't mind betting that the coding required for many of the great functions that current NLEs and plugins can do are not able to be implemented in those now prehistoric versions of Windows.

I had hardware (a scanner and a printer) that was not supported into Windows 8.1 ... alors, c'est la vie. And my old 2G phones no longer work in my country.

The regrettable truth is that if you want to stay with a particular OS version, you very probably have to stick with programmes that are contemporary with that OS.
