I was trying to attach this to a previous discussion I was involved in, but couldn't find my original post. If someone points me to that post, I'll move this one.

I use a LOT of NewBlue FX plugins, and upon installing the new version of VP17 (V321) many (most?) of my NB plugins no longer worked. They would either not load when I clicked on them, or if they did load, I would get the dreaded red X on the preview. All of my plugins are legitimate and paid for, and I have the original serial numbers; some were directly from NB; others from Vegas when the NB plugs were given as a premium for upgrading. Going to the NB site was a wasted effort, as after typing in my serial numbers, the site didn't produce the specified plugins.

As excited as I was about the new version of VP17, this loss of the NB filters was a major setback for me. I had many of the plugins grouped as filter packages, and of course, this affected past edit projects, as well as the current one I'm working on. I killed a good part of a day trying to remedy the problem with no luck. I finally got all of my NB plugins to work by doing a Windows system restore. So now, I'm back to the previous version of Vegas, but at least everything is working. Whew! I guess next time I won't be so quick to upgrade. All my past upgrades were largely without incident. Just lucky, I guess.
