Suggestions To Improve & Bugs To Be Fixed In VP16

SUGGESTIONs For Next Updates:

Add a feature to create a preset in Event Pan/Crop function with both set parameters & keyframes (if any created).
Add new feature of full screen mode of the Vegas pro (no taskbar & no title bar).
Add zoom in/out slide for directly set size of thumbnails from mouse click along with mouse wheel.
Add a feature to select any stream audio/video (individually for moving, expanding, triming or for applying effects) without ungrouping them but by just pressing a key + click on stream (same like we change a clip's playback rate by pressing Ctrl + Hold Clip & Stretch It for slow motion & fast motion).
Add a option that automatically sorted slow motion video clips in a single folder.
Add a direct button for setting default parameters of any effect in video/audio effects.
Add a feature that a user can sort transitions & Video FX according to his/her choice or a user can disable/enable any transition or effect according to his/her choice. It will help in finding effects & transitions fast which we use often.

------------------------------------------------------------

BUGs To Be Fixed :

Fix an old error (VP13 - VP16) in ripple function to 'all tracks auto ripple' option that it should detect any event of any track to ripple all tracks not just of trimming track. But VP is not doing so. As example, suppose I am working on 2 video tracks A & B and my auto ripple is on for all tracks. now when i will delete any event from my A track & on that place B track have no event then the auto ripple will take all events of B track to its last clip before cursor, which is not fine, it should be rippled to the deleted event space only not beyond it even the deleted event is belong to another track. I think u understand what I am trying to say.
Bug detected in new feature of scrubbing thumbnails to view inside clip or to set in & out points. VP16 crashes often during scrubbing process, mostly on that moment when thumbnails are large.
VP16 not giving restore project option of last save after reopening from a crash.
In VP13 to VP16 build dynamic RAM preview on Best (Full) preview quality not rendered all selected region.
VP16 sometimes crashes while enlarging icons.

For My System Info Check My Signature

Thankyou

Also Fix the stuttering issue on VST plugins! Right now VST server is still version 1.0 on 32-bit. Please update this to VST server 3.0 in 64-bit. The link for DSK is available here: https://www.steinberg.net/en/company/developers.html

And please work on the general performance of Vegas, because on my high spec machine Vegas only uses 30% of CPU, GPU and RAM resources.

Very thoughtful posts. Great work, free from ignorance to the problems & sycophancy that does no good what so ever. I"M certain the Magix developers appreciate posts such as these.

Glad to see this thread. I'm a software engineer who has worked in the media production space (9 years at cakewalk). I've been using Vegas Platinum since version 12. The singular stubborn bug that bites me all the time is that vegas hangs and crashes if you delete a clip while the transport is rolling. It's done this in every version that I've had on on several different computers and many different audio interfaces. Having faced similar issues when working at cakewalk, I know these bugs can be tricky to fix but when I downloaded v15 last night, I thought "this time for sure. They HAD do have finally fixed this". But I loaded a project, pressed play, pressed delete and - kaboom. It's nearly 100% reproducible and seems to me to be a very common workflow. I'm very surprised this one persists in each version. I *usually* remember to never delete while rolling, but once in a while I forget and I have an "oh no" moment as I watch the program hang.

Robert, I too have been a victim of this bug for many, many years. I think it goes back way farther than 12 even. I've found that when it hangs, 90% of the time if you give it a good 5 minutes, it will recover. Good to know for those moments you forgot to hit save. Maybe give Magix a shout... If you've got software dev skills, maybe you can help squash the bug!

+1. Definitely make contact with Magix. Seems like it must be difficult to isolate the cause ( I have never seen it, for example) and the fact that you can reproduce nearly 100% of the time is probably pretty good intel.

This VST stuff drives me nuts! beyond nuts, it's un-useable!

Magic, you absolutly MUST fix this ASAP. It is a total deal breaker.

I use Vegas 14 only for multi-track audio for my band and it gets real slow and stutters.

When selecting a loop region on all tracks, the screen won't even highlight properly but that's nothing compared to running any FX on tracks.

What happened to this software??? I used to use Vegas Audio 3x under XP and it worked ok....

I can't even open my mastering BUS for playback effect changes without all the tracks getting out of sync and cutting in and out. It's utter crap!

It's certainly not CPU or Disk I/O bandwidth

I run 3x128GB SSD in RAID-0 as a tracks drive,

i7-4Ghz CPU,

16 GB ram,

RX570 GPU

My CPU usage is no more than 10% and drives I/O at 15%, at best.

That's only 10 tracks.
I refuse to upgrade, this crap MUST be fixed or I'm out.

I can't use this software professionally. I AM going to change and I will start suggesting to others in the industry to avoid this software if this doesn't get fixed because I cannot use it anymore. I must change to something else. Alberton or Reaper, I don't know but like I said, this is a total deal-breaker.
I had no idea this bug was going on for such a long time!! that's insane.
