Abbreviated Release Notes:

New features in version 14.0

Added Smart Zoom, Smart Scale, and Smart adaptive deinterlacing to allow you to upscale clips for Ultra HD delivery (requires a supported NVIDIA, AMD/ATI, or Intel GPU).
Added a Vignette video effect.
Added support for working with high-frame-rate (HFR) clips.
Added hover scrub to the Trimmer for fast scrubbing.
Updated support for current BlackMagic Design hardware:
- DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G, 4K Pro, 4K Extreme, Studio 4K, SDI 4K, HD Extreme, Extreme 3D, Mini Monitor, and Mini Recorder.
- Intensity Shuttle, Pro 4K, and Pro.
- UltraStudio 4K Extreme, 4K, Pro, SDI, Express, Mini Monitor, and Mini Recorder.
Improved support for clips from RED ONE, EPIC, SCARLET, and WEAPON cameras.
- Added Post lift, Post gamma, Post gain, and Dragon enhanced blacks controls to the R3D Decode Properties dialog.
- Fixed an issue that caused certain clips to fail to load on upgraded RED WEAPON cameras with older firmware.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when loading certain old RED ONE clips.
- Fixed a color cast that could occur in clips shot with RED Motion Mount on the latest camera firmware.
Updated support for current AJA hardware.
Added a Resample mode drop-down list to the Video tab in the Project Properties dialog. You can use this control to set the default resample mode for your project video. To override the project resample mode, you can use the Force resample and Disable resample event switches.
Improved playback and editing performance when using a Dynamic RAM Preview cache size greater than 200 MB.
Improved gamma calculations for still-image sequence renders for 32-bit floating point projects. Now levels for 32-bit floating point (video levels) and 32-bit floating point (full range) with nonlinear gamma are more consistent with 8-bit levels.
Added a Group Video and Audio Events script (Tools > Scripting) to allow you to easily group audio and video events from an imported EDL.
Increased the top-end of the range of event Velocity envelopes to 1,000% to increase the maximum possible overall velocity of video on the timeline to 40 times normal speed (in conjunction with the Playback rate event property).
New artwork and icons for buttons and other interface elements give the application an updated, more modern look and feel.
Support for reading and writing HEVC/H265 files.
Native support for reading ProRes 422 files without the need for QuickTime.

Click "30-DAY FREE TRIAL" or just go ahead and "BUY NOW" if you're confident.

I don't understand this at all. We should be able to download our old software too, just like on the old sony site. Not sure why that functionality was removed.

Most people can still download their software at https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/myaccount/myorders

It's also accessible at https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/myaccount/mysoftware , but the link to the most recent version (e.g. Vegas Pro 13.0) will redirect you to a MAGIX sales page, but you can still download the Sony version via "My Orders".

Your recently-purchased VEGAS software from MAGIX is available at https://www.magix.com/us/support/my-service-center/ and I assume the older Sony software will eventually be available there too when the data migration from Sony is complete.

As far as I'm concerned, these fixes should be in Vegas 13.1.

Since when should we pay for bug fixes to a current version? Not impressed and not buying V14.

My Windows 10 Pro downloaded the Vegas upgrades automatically finding the website. All the other older Sony stuff I installed from original disks and they all activated just fine including Cinescore.

Debugmode Frameserver works! 😀 I just copied

C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 13.0\Frameserver.x64.fio2007-config

to

C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 14.0\Frameserver.x64.fio2007-config

and it works.

It looks like you would need Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 and Frameserver 2.15 installed for this to be possible, otherwise you wouldn't be able to install it. (Edit: Or maybe you can install it after all. See this comment ). The Framesever code is open source, so perhaps someone could write an installer for VP14.

Unfortunately it's still only serving 44.1 kHz audio from a 48 kHz project, as expected and like it did in VP13. As it's open source it would be great if someone could try to fix that, perhaps even a MAGIX dev, as it's such a valuable extension. Chris Dolan made a start a couple of years ago but Satish himself decided to stop development on it.

Hey, Nick, et al...,

On my system VP14>debugmode fs 2.15> ripbot 264, I can frameserve short projects (~2 minute), but longer ones the frameserver will hang randomly. I did a reinstall of the FS components, but no love. However, I set VP14 to NOT use the GPU (R9-290) and poof , it worked.....but.... It was dreadfully S L O W.... (it went from rendering at ~150% real-time to !25% realtime...system is i7 5960X OCd to 4.2GHz) This setup was rock-solid on VP13. As an aside, I also have the dreaded NB titler cluster-mess...grr..)

I'm going to update/rollback video drivers now to see if......

Cheers!

All down to the memory handling bug(s) in VP14 b161 I guess.

skeeter123 wrote on 10/11/2016, 11:09 PM

Hmmmm. I thought I checked that......I'll check again tomorrow. I know that one of my previous L O N G projects (made and rendered/frameserved from VP13 just fine) will blow out my pagefile (>70GB) in a heartbeat....

The project(s) that gags debugmode FS are relatively short....6 minutes or so....Hmmmm indeed. I wonder what the GPU connection is??

Thanks, Nick....I'll post what I find...

Cheers, all

NickHope wrote on 10/12/2016, 12:56 AM

Actually the frameserver hanging could be when it reaches an event on the timeline that it doesn't like when GPU acceleration is on. Check the particular event where it stops and see if there's anything unusual about it, in particular FX, compared to the previous events.

Random spots....

skeeter123 wrote on 10/12/2016, 11:52 AM

Well, well....Tried again and it worked!..... Used a different (new - ~15 Minute) project with the GPU on. My frameserve/render time went from 1hr 16min to 34min. Yesss! I'll keep my eye on this. BTW Commit memory never exceeded 4GB....the L O N G one still hits 70GB before the "out of memory" nonsense shows up..I reckon there is something, as Nick suggested, in that other project that the GPU doesn't like...but it hangs at random locations...goofy...

I'm going to re-render the project that works and hope for consistency!

Now, about that NewBlue cluster-mess.....ahem...

UPDATE: 2nd attempt worked just peachy....not statistically significant however....I'll keep at it..

Cheer, all!

My GPU still has no on/option in Vegas 14 after a multidude of video driver changes from older to newest.

There was no problem with the cuda option in Windows 7 pro. If I get mad enough I might just go back to 7 from 10.

NickHope wrote on 10/13/2016, 7:02 AM

...cuda option...

Are you sure it isn't the CUDA option in the MainConcept AVC encode mode setting that you're looking for? That's now in internal preferences. The "GPU acceleration of video processing" is done by OpenCL, but it should show an Nvidia card as an option. Maybe try a couple of different drivers before going back to Windows 7.

JJKizak wrote on 10/13/2016, 7:35 AM

I also have Vegas 11 and 12 installed and there is no option there either like it used to be.

Same here and I've been wondering about this. On the other hand, I see no difference in their performances during editing and in rendering. I am currently working on two films at the same time so I contnuously keep both TVP 12 and 14 opened, which has been giving me good grounds for contnuous comparisons. My graphics card is an AMD FirePro V7900 SDI.
