(Solved) Is Legacy Text missing in Vegas Pro Edit 15?

Robocop4k wrote on 12/16/2017, 3:34 PM

Hello guys,

I'm using V216 of Vegas Pro Edit 15, been using Movie Studio for a while and have tested the older Pro Versions every time a new one came out. Every time I found the "new" Title and Text generation quite buggy, so I was used to always having Legacy Text for some quick and dirty texts.

 

However, after having fiddled around in Vegas 15 and finally having a Pro Version I'm a bit let down by it's capabilities concerning text generating.

 

Problem 1:

I can't find the Legacy Text plugin. Is it gone? Will it ever come back? Wasn't there ProType Titler included in the earlier versions aswell?

Turned out to be my fault.

Problem 2:
I might be able to live without Legacy Text if at least Title and Text was working properly, however, I still have trouble applying third party fonts to the text generated there.

 

I'm very much required to have a quick and easy way to get some texts onto my videos but I'm currently very dissatisfied in that regard, seeing that NewBlueFX Titler Pro 5 is also only included in the Suite version which I can't afford, Title and Text doesn't apply the fonts that I need and ProType Titler also seems to be missing.

 

I hope there is a way to bring it back!

Cheers

Both "Legacy Text" and "ProType Titler" should still be found under the "Generated Media" tools. There is no change in VP15 nor such a limitation in the Edit version.

Okay that first one is on me, I had tried a few troubleshooting methods earlier when I had issues with launching VP15, one included renaming the video plugins folder, after a second try the Legacy Text and ProType Titler are back now. Sorry!

However regarding the second issue, am I doing something wrong or is there any reason why some fonts seemingly are ignored by Title and Text?

Hier kein Problem

Ist die letzte Version von .NET Framework installiert?


Yes .NET is installed, already checked that.

It seems like you are using Bebas though, which is a TrueType Font. Is it possible that Text and Title doesn't process OpenType (like Bebas Neue) fonts?

Some fonts missing/being replaced is a known bug of "Titles & Text".

Oh well, obviously this thread is redundant then, I thought I had already checked through the Known Issues topic and found nothing regarding my issue, will check more thoroughly next time.

Thank you all and sorry for the hassle!
