EricLNZ wrote on 11/15/2020, 2:14 AM

Unfortunately older builds are no longer available for download.

Have you tried "Enable the QT plugin" in Options/Preferences/Deprecated Features tab?

What is your problem when the files are working fine in the latest build saying "in latest build .mov works fine"?

Try the advice in item 5 here to see if it works for those mov files that don't open in the current latest build.

If I just bought the Vegas Movie Studio 17 Platinum on November 12,2020 will these updates automatically already be applied to it when I downloaded everything ?

Select the nearest to your desired properties such as 1080 24p, then customise it to what you want. You can alter the framerate to 25 in the drop down list. Then save as a template for future use.

Yes, you are not alone with this problem. My experience is that mov files that VMS 17 Platinum can open using "so4compoundplug.dll" still open with Build 204. But mov files that need "qt7plug.dll" don't open even if the QT plugin is enabled in deprecated features. Something seems to have got broken between builds 179 and 204.

Can You tell me what is solution? can i downgrade to 179? In 179 build my .mov works fine.

You can go back if you have (or find) the installer for the previous build. Please note that currently only the latest updates of the latest (two) versions are available from MAGIX.

Do you have the PIP FX attached to the track? I suspect you have. Delete or mute the effect by unticking it.

well i think i was using the pnp track for my video . i moved it down to the video track and it seems fine. i stumbled across the way to change the color of the background of the program to light gray. i'm very happy that i could do that as the dark background was killing my eyes. thanks for the help

@rcflyer I guess by now from your other post in the Pro forum you've realised you have the Split Screen button ON. Switching it off will solve your problem.

Thanks vkmask. i see that now ... learning .MS17 is very different from i'm used to. i see that with every new project pip attaches itself to the project by default. still trying to find out how to stop that. As far as the stop and go while rendering , i finally found out why. it seems my 5 year card is the culprit. when i render using the onboard intel graphics it renders really fast. as soon i render with my gpu" nvideo gtx970" it stops and goes through the whole project. even 4k is really fast. Not that i'm Microsoft certified but i knew there had to be something going on. I'm going to check out some new cards tomorrow or just use the on board graphics to render. i really appreciate all the help from you guys. without you guys i'd be in big trouble. RCF

Nothing happens when you go to the pages in the "Offical announcement" page so what are we suppose to do to get the 204 build?

Nothing happens for me either. Movie Studio 17 keeps telling me a major update is available but updating from the program downloads something but nothing ever happens. Each time I open the program it wants to update and wants me to fill out a survey. And the direct download link here fails by doing nothing at all at https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-movie-studio-17-update-2-builds-159-204--124910/ and https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/proxy/62ec24e969f232e0d20b/?link=https%3A//rdir.magix.net/%3Fpage%3DYRKNHSODM3C5

How do I fix this???

vkmast wrote on 11/30/2020, 7:17 PM

MAGIX Download Center

Chrome download seems to work again, but if not, try a different browser.

@Bob-L

Btw, Chrome download did not work for me (at least without a workaround, see page 1 of this thread), MS Edge worked.

Bob-L wrote on 11/30/2020, 10:35 PM

I downloaded a new exe file which appeared to install the update properly. But it didn't. I am still stuck with each time I start Movie Studio 17 it tells me a major update is available. So I choose update, it downloads and asks me if I want to update immediately or upon program exit. I have tried both but nothing happens beyond that. Next time I start the program the loop repeats.
