Hi,

I just bought Movie Studio 16 ... this week on 25th. Did not see anything about the 17. Will there be any update?

 

If indeed you just bought it, hurry and ask for refund and get 17 if you thing it's better for you.

I upgraded to version 16 on April 20th. Is there a free upgrade to version 17?

Only if you bought 16 it with a free upgrade, if not you get the normal upgrade price.

I bought an upgrade from the Magix site. I didn't see anything other than the price of the upgrade.

I'm trying to figure out what the terms and conditions mean. I need to cancel my purchase from the 20th and then purchase the version 17 upgrade? Thanks

I think it's an option for a recent purchase.

Just upgraded to 17 Platinum for the color grading workflow.

Can't see any color scopes / waveforms. Please tell me that I just can't see the button / option to show them.

Search "color grading" in online Help (F1).

There's no mention of scopes or waveforms in the help, which is incredibly disappointing. I swore I'd never spend money upgrading Movie Studio again (had it since v13) after comparing it to DaVinci Resolve.

I stuck with Movie Studio because I had a good working knowledge of the product, but I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and learn Resolve now.

I have Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 16. To upgrade to version 17 I am offered an insulting 5% discount compared to buying it new.

Australian upgrade pricing: A$94.99 Regularly A$99.99

Hey there, so I've just bought the Movie Studio Suite 17 edition, and it's running great, though a plugin that I received with Suite 15, the Boris Continuum Film Style Unit, fails to load. It worked fine in ver.16 which was also Suite.

Anyone else having similar issues? A way to resolve it perhaps?

Thanks in advance.

Similar to the situation with VEGAS Pro 17 when it was released, you will need to get an updated plugin from Boris.

Tried that. Still no luck. I've reached out to BorisFX also, so will see what they say. I have a possible workaround though. Running v.16 for those specific purposes. Thanks though!

One question: As with previous versions of VMS Platinum, will it co-reside with the previous version 16 on Windoze 10?

Yes.

Just an observation but we no longer have a 'Media Pool Thumbnails' folder in users AppData\Local\Movie Studio Platinum\17.0. Device Explorer Thumbnails and File Explorer Thumbnails are still there. I wonder where or how Media thumbs are now being handled?

I just downloaded MS17 Platinum and I'm off to a bad start. :( I really hope it's not my computer, but I can no longer drag and drop files on to my editor directly from a folder on my computer. It just crashes. Any ideas?

And I guess you need a super high tech computer for the preview window, because even though it bragged about a better preview display with its GPU, mine is still slow and choppy when I blend two clips together.

And lastly (third edit) I can't use mp4 files for some reason. Program crashes when I try.

That is not the way to add files. You have to drag them from the Vegas explorer that gives you the same files as directly from a computer folder.

Here it becomes a little off-topic on this post about an upgrade.
Should it be possible to make your own post in this VMS forumpart?

In some cases, I've been able to drag files from Windows 10 File Explorer to VMS16P. I did it today. I'm not sure, but maybe if the File Explorer is in Administrator mode.

Movie Studio 17 appears to ignore my project settings when rendering videos, specifically the frame rate I set. I have a video running at 12 frames per second, bu when I try to render it using the Make Movie easy option, it defaults to 30 frames per second. Furthermore, all rendered video files below 23 frames per second render with desynched sound.
