VEGAS 18 bug, VEGAS Pro 18.0 makes Boris RED fliping and discolor

I did use boris RED with the sony's vegas pro versions since boris RED allows After Effects plug-ins , so via Boris RED , it was also possible to have some good number of AE plug-ins to be applied and working in vegas pro . Would be interesting to have above issue solved for magix vegas pro version users .

@wilvan Boris Red also has many FEC VFX. It is very useful !

Can you reproduce the bug in VEGAS Pro 18 ?

I have Red from many years ago and re-installed it today - it is quite a useful program I had sort of forgotten about (FX 10 also)

The result in VP18: same thing - it instantly flips the image vertically the moment it is added to the event as an FX. Also, the same thing in VP17. And in both cases, adding Red dramatically changes the color of the event's image. Re the flip, at least its easy enough to flip it back via R clicking the event and select Properties/Rotation (180 degrees) - even though that is a nuisance.

I am not going to hold my breath waiting for an update from either BorisFX or Vegas to rectify this problem which relates to a legacy product last updated some 6 years ago.

@Dexcon It will be nice if VP fix it. 😂 Boris Red is really powerful.

One other thing - Red can be used as a standalone and the work exported; the downside being that export options are limited and positively ancient by today's expectations.

@Dexcon It is not as convenient as applying Red to event FX, track FX. 😯

Obviously.

@Dexcon Boris Red is even more convenient than VEGAS Effects! Red can be add to all FX positions but VEGAS Effects can only export project to VEGAS Pro, that's too restrictive. 😫

@rock-c ... oddly enough, exactly the same issue was recently raised on BorisFX's forum using exactly the same image examples. Please refer to the BorisFX's reply - which is rather what I expected:

Red and FX were good in their time, but BorisFX have moved on. But I do applaud your never-ending optimism in the face of commercial reality.

@Dexcon I have also found that post in boris forum. Actually title studio can't replace RED.

@Dexcon @lan-mLMC Sorry, I steal that post from that forum to here😃. Because I think it is more a VEGAS bug than a RED bug. 😅

Seriously, the reply from BorisFX says it all.

If it were thought that it was a Vegas problem, why was it posted on BorisFx's forum?

Discontinued products not working with new software isn't much of a surprise. Maybe keep an old version of Vegas around for when you want to use it.
