I always use the direct download, though the auto worked for me (slowly) this time.

Tested this with a 5 camera 4k project, no proxies. I was able to keep a mostly rock solid framerate (only a few dips from time to time), and the pauses between cuts were mostly gone as well as long as I had the quality set to good (auto). I didn't yet try it with preview quality, it may be possible to get a full resolution preview in that mode, but even if (auto) is the best I can get, I can work with that to get most of my cutting done without spending hours building proxies, so that's a huge win for me.

This is using a Radeon 7 GPU paired with a Ryzen 7 1800x CPU and 64GB DDR4 3000mhz.

Finally got it installed after 3 downloads. Only the direct link worked - vegaspro17_dlm.

Also, the download from the program auto update took at least 10 minutes. It was 10x faster using the direct link.

Still does not work Auto Adjust White Balance on Color grading panel ...

From the release notes:

Some white balance parameters are now no longer reset after project is reloaded

I have been out of the loop for a while - can anyone explain what this means?

BUG REPORT

The Position and Size of the "Video Event FX" Panel WINDOW is not stored properly.

How to reproduce:

1. Open the Video Event FX Panel Window from an event on the time line (by default it is in floating mode)

2. Adjust Size and Position of the Window

3. Close the FX Panel Window

4. Close Vegas Pro 17

5. Start Vegas Pro 17 again

6. Open the Video Event FX Panel from an event on the time line and see
the the position and size information of the window is gone
and it appears in the default size and position.

This behaviour is quite annoying because in previous versions position and size were stored correctly.

😭

DDid you also changed the default setting into the one you want to see and named it?
Default settings can not be changed.

Installed without a problem here. Download from within the program did seem slower than normal. I did have a crash that I reported on the first exit after loading the last veg file I worked on.

Thank you for the AMD decode as promised.

CONFIRMED!
But this problem already existed in the previous version (387)

Another "detail" that seems unusual happens: if you increase the size of the thumbnails of the video sequences, when you open Vegas again, they appear in the initial size (small) (!) 😟

Where is this direct link?

@Karsten-Semmer and @Sr_Garcia

Read the manual about making presets for event FX

In addition to the link in the News Patches post, MAGIX Account and MAGIX Download Center should already give you the latest build.

Thank you for your directions, but ...
The window to which I refer, is the window that "appears" when inserting an effect/transition and making adjustments to that effect.
I do not find in the manual any indication to be able to place it (by default, forever) in a specific area...

It was promised, but unfortunately not fixed:

Just tested my Radeon VII, not working with Gopro HEVC and won't even open IPHONE HEVC in 4k 60p files.... task manager showing 70-80% GPU Usage, but getting what feels like 5fps video.... looking at the clocks in gpu-z they're around 200-350, uvd clock goes to 1133 and gpu load 22%, task manager showing more load but again.. not working for my HEVC, can someone do some tests please. Boy was i excited to see amd acceleration.....and so sad now...BUT

on a happy note, premiere pro just got updated and is finally supporting iphone hevc, 4xplayback of 4k60p is as smooth as butter!

Had to manually install because the updater constantly thinks Vegas is running. Hopefully this is significantly less buggy than the last build. I'm still using 16 as my day to day because this just isn't ready for primetime.

@vkmast The Magix download center gives me a "vegaspro17_dlm.exe" file which is the same file size as the original vegas17 file I downloaded months ago. The Magix account points to the same file. because I have Win 7, I need the direct download of "VEGAS_Pro_17.0.0.421_DE-EN-FR-ES" to get it installed. I noticed that it was mentioned the the "News" tab. Thanks

@Julius_ I successfully downloaded and installed build 421 from MAGIX Download Center earlier today for my Win10. Surprised that you were offered the earlier build in "dlm". And I'm not sure if the last couple of builds and Win 7 like each other: the latest VPro 17 Release Notes list the 64-bit OS Windows 10 as a "minimum system requirement for using VEGAS Pro software".

Make sure you go into preferences > File IO and select the AMD gpu from that list, then check the checkbox that enables GPU decoding. I had to do that with my Radeon 7 to get it working.

Thanks - but I was talking about the FX Panel Window´s size and position (it means the GUI Element) - so it must be a bug in the windows layout functionality.
