Dear Community,

We are happy to, once again, address some of the user feedback in our newest update for VEGAS Pro. This time, we are releasing the first update for VEGAS Pro 15, build 216.

Our developers put a lot of effort into bug fixes and are proud to present a couple of new features you might like.

You can download the build 216 now at: http://rdir.magix.net/?page=9OK0C3E94P31

Here are the patch notes for this update:

Features

It is now possible to "heal" or "join" two events that hold the same media back into a single event
From the Render As dialog box, you can now swap all of your project media video files for video files with the same names (but potentially different file extensions) enabling you (for example) to work with proxy files on your timeline and switch to the full-resolution files to render. After the render completes, the files are swapped back.
A new option in the Project Media window enables you to swap all of your project media video files for video files with the same names (but potentially different file extensions) at any time
The Picture-in-Picture and Crop plug-ins now show different mouse icons depending upon which handle you point to in the Video Preview interacts
Added a button to events that enables the user to hide/show the new event headers
You can now set a preference to reverse the color of selected events so that it matches the behavior in version 14 and earlier where none selected events are white and selected events are colored
4K, 10-bit 4:2:2 AVC files from the Panasonic GH5 camera are now supported
