I have read as many of the recent posts as I can find, including VKMast's "see these links" one from 3/13 (https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/can-t-seem-to-work-newbluefx-and-movie-studio-platinum-together--110699/#ca684202). I bought the upgrade to 15 Platinum that installed 14 first, then 15 later (and just updated with latest patch today -- what difference in loading time!).

A. I did not receive New Blue serials from Magix, only MS and DVD Arch ones. EDIT: I see that I did receive a serial for New Blue with MS 14. Please see B., below.

B. Most of my effects and transitions work; some show the red X and "FX" watermark. It's not clear to me if these should be working without marks. Do I need to to paste the serial number somewhere now? I can't recall what I may have done before and cannot find anything telling me how.

C. Also, the second link in the 3/13 post takes me to an Ignite Express page offering free plugins. I don't understand the relationship.

Thank you kindly in advance.
