@Grazie Nice one mate. My sentiments exactly.

... and the offer is apparently for subscription options only - it does not look like it applies to a perpetual licence purchase.

Well, who’d have thought it! I’m astonished!! NOT! I’ve limited my NewBlue acquisitions to those I purchased four years ago? The upgrades and support has been torturous and regrettably truly minimal. I’m staying with ColorFast2, PTT 5 and a handful of FXs and Trannies. Anything new, I navigate well clear.

This offer from NewBlue is actually for all products - both subscription and non-subscription (i.e. perpetual). I know it reads a little confusingly but it's actually available on perpetual products as well.

NewBlue confused about the Customer Offer? Who’d have thought.

Noooo thank you, i'm good..... The current Newblue plugs that i have using in Vegas right now is probably from some 8 to 9 years back...... Not much improvements or enhancements has been done to them since then..... They just do a lot of repackaging and renaming.

However, I still use the old versions on most of my projects, and find them very useful and efficient.

I just bought the Titler Pro Ultimate for 30% off....I always needed a good titler.... within Vegas!

@Julius_ When you finally install it, and get to grips with it, do report if you can see your Video as a background within the NBTP7 GUI as a Video in Motion Background, which is so essential for syncing. I’ve stayed with NBTP5 just to have this Event in Motion as Background.

@Grazie, yes you can. See screen shot below. But if you press the play button in TP7, no, you will not see the background video. But, if you scrub through the video, you will see everything play back as the speed of you scrubbing.

@Steve_Rhoden, I agree with you. Not much advancement/enhancements for a long time. But if someone doesn't have them, they can bring something "new" to the table. And like you, I find them very useful and efficient. I have TotalFX7, and I personally use TP7 a lot. I find it less "complex" than Boris Title Studio.

It is also important to note that the background image only appears when it is used as an effect on a video event. There will be no background shown when used as a generated media.

@Reyfox  ... Please correct me if I am wrong, but I suspect that you've added TP7 as an FX on to the video event. If yes, try adding TP7 as a media generated event on a higher track - I doubt that you will then see the background video event in TP7's timeline. The BG image does appear in TP5 and earlier when used as a media generated event - and without the scrubbing delays of TP6/7.

Adding a title as a media generated event on a higher track is important if the title is to cover more than one event especially if animation is involved.

@Dexcon, the background has never appeared as a generated media because VEGAS does not pass that information to a generated media. You've always needed to use it as an effect to get the background to show.

@Grazie, yes you can. See screen shot below. But if you press the play button in TP7, no, you will not see the background video. But, if you scrub through the video, you will see everything play back as the speed of you scrubbing.

@Reyfox - Correct, the Playback button won't work, and, as you know, scrubbing ain't Playback. I stopped at NBTP5 so I could retain this powerful function.

@Grazie no, scrubbing isn't playback. But tell me, can you adjust and do what you want by scrubbing? We scrub all the time on the timeline fixing and adjusting, yes?

Would it be better to press play and see it go? Yes. But for me, scrubbing does the same thing. Sometimes faster, because I can scrub faster or slower.

Putting my 'two pence' in. For me this is academic. I stopped using TP7 ages ago, primarily because of the way caching was changed. At the moment you can have thousands of cache files that don't seem to get deleted. Cache files are created and modified umpteen times in a TP7 session, most times for no valid reason.
I now use Boris Title Studio, which is far superior, in my opinion, to TP7. When you get used to it, creating a complex title is not difficult.
The only advantage TP7 has over Title Studio is it's multi-title management function. If only Title Studio had something similar.
