Can you please look into why vegas pro 15 is crashing so much while masking or moving through each frames in the Event Pan/Crop. Program crashes just about every couple frame. Its getting really annoying. AutoSave is not working when switch to 60000. Program crashes so much Im saving after every frame. Thanks

Not going to happen without more ground data.

Yup, something is choking Vegas. Need Data and Screengrabs.

Build seems solid so far without the general slowdown over time... so far. I was almost ready to switch back to 14. I’ve used VP since version 6. It’s not always been the easiest program to live with. It doesn’t work well with graphics cards but loves liquid cooled heavily threaded processors. Which is fine as I’m sure most editors build their machines to the max. Keep marching forward with the build :)

It's still a mess for me with my Gh5, The workarounds I have to use to shoot 10 bit VLOG and edit it in Vegas adds hours onto the workflow. I'm anxiously awaiting that next update... but I'm also glad they're taking time to get it right, hopefully.

Why can't we update FROM the Vegas software? Why do I have to go to a forum to find an update? It is not that big of a deal but it is annoying. Is this the right update if I have Vegas Pro 365?

Yes, so far version 4 (build 321) is the current version.

... a lot of bargain-offers for V15.... seems that V16 is on the way soon.... right?

...really? Where?

I hope no one is asking for money from customers that bought VP15 until that's fixed..

same thing every time.... I have lots of MAGIX-eMails offering bargain prices for a short period of time. I guess this happens, because they are preparing streetday for the next version.... just my experience....

...sob... no emails sent to me.......

And again I won’t be able to test it. Here is customer support’s reply to my email if I could be granted another trial of VP15:

”Thank you for your message. Once a trial has run and expired on a computer there isn't anyway to run the trial of the software again on the same computer”

This is it for me.

Is this for the current version only? What if VP16 does come out and you want to run a trial......

Sure you can trial VP16 and you actually have to. I trialed VP15 when it came out and it was disaster. In the meantime, several updates have been released with major changes and maybe now, it would work fine with my workflow aside with the limitation of not supporting AMD’s VEC. However, I can’t trial it. So I wait for VP16 but how long into VP16 do I wait to trial it? The first build? And if again it doesn’t work? You see where I am going with this?

So for me, this is it. After over 10 years of using Vegas, I am out. I will be using Sony Vegas Pro 13, a limited amount of Vegas Pro 14 and I have purchased Resolve Studio for future projects.

Goodnight Vegas!

Right... - The MAGIX-service is very poor. Even my TECH-ADMIN (as a direct MAGIX-customer for ALL products) has no chance to get professional answers. I mean > no answers at all....

I guess they are not loving the product because there is also competition software in their own portfolio. It will not be better with a V16, if or whenever it will show up.

Basicly I prefer VEGAS for it´s easy handling - but it MUST work. Before I toatally give up I will let them have a very last chance from my side. What do you think? Are the tech guys also reading those threads here? Then show up please. THANX.

I just edited another project in Resolve and it was pretty nice. I’m torn though because because I still like Vegas timeline fluidity and easy controls for motion on stills. Resolve is not as good in these areas and key framing is clunky. But the playback/render speed, media management, color correction etc. is so much better. Most importantly to me however is the team behind the product. The Resolve team is active on the forums and they listen to their users when it comes to features. Each new release has so many frigging updates it looks like the last five versions of Vegas combined and they never charge for it once you buy in. That is why Im investing in The Resolve ecosystem it seems to have a bright future and may become the all in one production software I’ve always been looking for. I’ll keep an eye on Vegas (a user since version 3) but their overpriced lackluster updates are wearing thin and the software seems to need a serious rewrite if it is to survive.

One thing that is clear to me from all this recent Resolve talk, is that the Vegas team absolutely have to fix the translation of projects to and from Resolve, and make it as complete and seamless as possible. Then at least Vegas can remain in many Resolve users' workflows as a companion product that can do many things that Resolve can't.

Sony said basically they've taken Vegas as far as they could. But then, they never really followed up on their "new" software. Maybe they just wanted "out" of the extremely crowded video editing software business.

I think Sony made the right decision there and then.

On the other hand, if Sony would have integrated Vegas into their other video productions products like BM does, it could have been the better move, the Sony Creative Software and it's team where always treated like the unwanted step child. On the other hand, Sony's new suite of products hasn't evolved either. Catalyst Edit is still a very basic NLE.

Nick, that might buy them enough time to start updating Vegas, but honestly, it isn't a good idea to base your business model on expecting your users to migrate to another platform, as once those users get used to using resolve, and once resolve makes some updates that enable it to do some of the key things we use Vegas for, it's all over for Vegas.

What they need is to completely throw out the video processing engine in Vegas, rewrite it from scratch like Adobe did with Mercury Playback Engine (Vegas started to take a step in that direction with so4compoundplug.dll, but never was able to get it off the ground and working properly.), and hire on someone who is very skilled in memory management, as that seems to be Vegas Achilles' heel right now.

I was concerned when I heard that a lot of the old dev team was staying on to keep developing Vegas... they've done a good job making a good program, but they also did a good job leaving it riddled with bugs before Sony sold it off, many of which still have not been fixed over 2 years later, all the while new ones have been introduced.

If Magix does not have the resources to hire on a dev team big and talented enough to put out a product that can run with the big dogs, then Magix needs to drastically discount Vegas, so that we aren't paying as much or more for less capable software than the competition.

I fully agree!

I not!😇
