Upgrade to Vegas Pro 18: Will Platinum's BorisFX/NewBlue still work?

studio-4 wrote on 6/9/2021, 1:47 PM

I just re-bought Vegas Movie Studio 17 Premium to take advantage of the bundled BorisFX Stylize Unit 2020.5 and NewBlue Elements 3 Overlay promotion. If I later opt for the $99 upgrade offer to Vegas 18 Pro/Edit, will the bundled effects I got with Vegas Movie Studio Premium 17 work within the upgraded Vegas Pro 18 app? Thanks!

I can speak for the NewBlue plug-in. Short answer: You should be fine. Longer answer: I installed NewBlueTitlerPro7Express when I bought VMS 17 Pro. I installed NewBlue Elements 3 Overlay when I bought Vegas Pro 18. BOTH plugins are available in BOTH Vegas versions. I'm guessing the NewBlue plugins are installed in shared location for all Vegas software to access.

Wow! Thanks!!! So I now own two licenses to Vegas Movie Studio 17 Platinum (one purchased as a suite and one purchased as platinum alone). So if what you're saying is correct, the FX Home Ignite effects pack I got with my first VMS 17 Suite purchase may still continue to be available in my new stand-alone platinum 17 purchase? This is great news!
