Are you able to access the main Vegas Pro 18 page?

Starting from the Magix page I go into the Vegas products and selecting Vegas gets me https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-pro/product-comparison/

Checking with "downforeveryone..........." confirms it's okay

I use Firefox. I've just tried Edge (which I don't normally use) and no problem. My Edge build is 91.0.864.41.

Thanks for your help, I have discovered what the problem is by acident, so it's all working again. A DNS setting.

Any Idea when the new version of VP will be out? It would be nice if they could fix the bugs in VP18 though.

Every time I select Render As, Vegas Pro 18 immediately crashes:

@Michael-Laughlin, try in new empty project>insert any media generator, then File>Render As... is the dialog box appear? If this is successful, then go open your previous project, then proceed Render as...

Alternatively, Tools>Scripting>Batch Render

Does anyone know if Magix has acknolwleged all the crashing issues and is working on them?

For me, I cant render my video from Canon M50, in portrait mode, i got some glitches with green flashing, older version of Vegas pro was working fine.

Tried everything, if I rotate the video to portrait mode every kind of glitches occour...

Almost migrated to Adobe Premiere but I tried to reinstall the older version and it works!

God bless the old version!

@set Interesting thought about using the batch render, but no dice. Vegas still crashes. The good news is that I was able to get past the problem by installing DaVinci Resolve.

Is there a stand alone download installer for this update? This is the second update that when triggered while in Vegas 18 Pro, it throws an error because "Vegas is already running". Would be fantastic to get that link and remedy this soon. Thank you!

Of course, it was linked to on the first page of this thread. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-18-update-5-build-527--129047/

I just installed the new build, and it literally broke the program. I can't load a single video clip or project. Thanks.

Try a reset (hold control + shift, click to start and keep holding until prompted to clear the cache).

I was seriously thinking of buying the upgrade to 18. But all the reports of crashes, bugs, tracking and other features not working well has given me pause after reading the comments here. I left it at version 15/16 because of all the issues. Has not gotten any better or will it ever? Disconcerting what I am reading here.

RogerS wrote on 6/14/2021, 9:28 PM

@bigrock

15-18 is less a series of major upgrades than just continued refinements, some new features, and bug fixes. The problem with threads like these is that it doesn't give a representative idea of user experiences- it only attracts the people who are having problems.

From 15/16, the new decoder (so4compound) has gotten much more robust in its support for different formats and has big performance benefits when used with GPUs. So the advice to disable it usually doesn't make sense anymore. Personally I've had a pretty smooth go of it since the later builds of 16, but if you use a lot of phone or GoPro footage you may have not has as good an experience until more recently.

At this point I'd say try the VP 18 demo and if you like it there may be a deal to buy 18 and get a free upgrade to 19 at some point soon. (there have been in past years)

The build of Vegas Pro 18 prior to b527 was b482. The following is a link to download the b482 program:

https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-18-update-4-build-482--127859/

Build 527 will first need to be uninstalled before reinstalling b482.

I'm unable to get to the page to download build 482. I'm done with build 527. Too many bugs.

I have been using Vegas for about 5 years had every version all the way from 13-18. and for the last 2 years i have been using the software for my business as a highlight Esports Editor. never had any issues.. would say hands down best software out there... more user friendly then premier pro and after affects... but Build 527 is costing me a ton of money. is there any thing we can do about it i have been fighting the crashes and trying to work around it... also why on earth is there not a customer support page were i can talk to a tech.. we never had this issue before.. theres no support for a "top of the line editing software" $900 for bugs crashes not being able to render a video.. like come the heck on........ i have seen like 100 comments on this build its been like this for almost a month...fix your program or people are going to go to adobe!!!
