It's unlikely, unless there's a bug discovered that affects a wide range of users and prevents the program from working. They did do an update of VEGAS 15 after 16 had launched, but that's the only instance I can remember where an update came after the next version launched.

I say support the team. Its only a 200 dollar upgrade. And the 8 Bit Full Levels Fix is worth that in its self.

@LongIslander So far, not for me and my use case. I've tested 18 and compared it with 17 on my work and I just don't see a reason to upgrade at the moment.

Be nice if the Vegas gpu support was more modular... so that advances in gpu api support or code fixes could be applied with more Vegas version independence.

No, highly unlikely there will be another update for Vegas Pro 17 down the road, at this point....

It would be nice when only the stabilization bug, that showed up in the last 2 builds of Vpro17, would be fixed.

There have been some issues since V16 causing stability that did not happen in V15... I'm actually still using V15 for certain paid work because V16 & V17 won't handle more than 20 or so QT related files, like AVID DNxHD & DNxHR. I would switch to Magic's pseudo-ProRes intermediates, but some clients are reporting issues with those whereas the AVID files are just fine... I have NO ISSUES paying $200 per year for upgrades since I use Vegas for paid work, but I want the last $400 worth of software to fully work before I send $200 more...

If I brought my car to service and while picking it up I found the power windows got broken and company asking me to pay for another service (to fix it up) I would refuse and the company would be forced to fix it by law.

I would understand if a new feature introduced in version X that does not work in all cases. But I think if something got broken -- it should be fixed and customers must not be asked to pay for upgrade where it fixed (sure, I do not mind if free upgrade offered for affected customers).

All new features of VP18 is useless for me. It is just not fair to force me to pay $200 for the bugfix that was reported long before VP18 release.

This happen for the 2nd (or may be 3rd) time for me with Vegas already. The first one was in Sony era.

Well fifonik, VP18 upgrade is not useless to me or many others. And the improvements + Added features exceeds what would be considered to be a bug fix...... Nothing is unfair in paying $200 for an upgrade if you use it for paid work!

I have not said the VP18 useless for everyone. I explicitly mentioned "for me" (my workflow is limited and video editing is my hobby only).

If I need something from VP18 I'd upgraded already.

Windows 7 will still crash on you. It still has flaws and security holes. Microsoft will not update it again. In fact, they put warnings on screen telling you that your product is no longer safe because they are no longer patching its security flaws. Apple's Quicktime on windows is much the same, even if you've bought quicktime pro. Quicktime on a windows system is now a security flaw, but nobody is giving out refunds over it, and nobody is going to patch it either. Many videogames stop getting patches and their multiplayer modes will stop working entirely after a few years.

Software support has a limited lifespan. If VCS went back and patched every bug out of every version of VEGAS, they'd go out of business before they were ever able to release a new version.

The solution? They put out demos for every version for free. You are able to test these features before you make the purchase.

Did you try exporting ProRes out of Voukoder with Vegas? I haven't tested it, but it may work better with Apple devices.

@fr0sty since you're a mod, could we get this thread locked or deleted? It's gone off on a tangent from what I originally intended.

Everyone is just giving their pitch for bugs they want fixed in 17. Seems on topic to me (if pointless)
