I have TotalFX7 myself and use Titler Pro 7 often. TP7 does take a while to create your titles, so I sometimes work with the standalone and edit in Vegas. Once the title is exported, I drag the video of it into Vegas.

The transitions and effects are nice depending on what type of videos you work with. You can download a trial version of it and see if it is what you want. But the price with Vegas 20 (guessing you are upgrading Vegas), I would think it's worth it.

Again, download the trial version, have a look and then decide.

Also, I would opt for a perpetual license and not a "rental" myself.

Hello,

Thank you both for your kind comments. I would hope that the NewBlue software has a lifetime licence! If they sold it and then only after the sale, I discovered the licence was limited, that would be grounds here in the UK for mis-selling! I would hope that they would be clear about the licence....

Titler Pro 7 looks great - but at £305 for the cheapest version and with Vegas Pro 20 being sold at £129, it's out of my price range really. At least until I get really good with video editing. I'm not entirely a beginner but I'm not an expert either.

For me, as long as Vegas Pro 20 is backwards compatible somewhat (previous versions have allowed me to load projects created with earlier versions of the software), then I'll give it a go.

Thank you both for your comments.

regards,

Lee

@Lee-James VP20 is maybe the most stable Vegas I've used(not used for very long), but there's not that many people here saying that. For many it crashes all the time, or it's very sluggish after 5 - 10mins work. I don't know the problem for those with constant crashing and lagging, but your system is similar to mine, I have 32gig ram, so do you, my GPU is 10GB Vram, your is 11, we both use 1440P monitors

I notice VRAM is 9GB used just loading a 1440P AVC file, so what happens if someone with a 6GB card loads that file and uses some GPU FX's, do they start swapping out to slow system memory, maybe that's the problem that causes the slowness, OR maybe it's a lack of system ram or something completely different.

Test with the trial

If you are a Youtube creator, you might want to consider subscribing to VEGAS Pro 365, because it comes with a content library containing millions of stock music, sfx, and video clips you can use in your videos... and it also comes with AI text to speech or speech to text, so you can have your video narrated in many languages, or convert your voice into subtitles in many languages (and the results are surprisingly high quality). Lots of very useful things in there for social media creators. There's also cloud storage and an online collaboration system that lets other editors, fx artists, and colorists collaborate with you online.

I think it's a good deal but would spend a few hours with the trial version of 20 and make sure it works for you.

One reason for studying the Newblue license closely is that sometimes it is locked to the version of Vegas it is sold with. So it could be perpetual, but not transferable to future versions of Vegas.

@bvideo - It didn’t used to be this way?!? If this is true, scraping the bottom of the revenue barrel. I’m using TWIXTOR, iZoRX, BORIS, NEAT Video, perpetual all the way through.

There have been issues with plugins that come bundled with VEGAS being version locked to that version for many years now, but only some plugins have this issue.

Hi,

Yes, Vegas Pro 18 crashes a lot too! Thankfully it has autosave! I do, however, often have two copies of the program running where I move sections (text, graphics, etc) from one to the other which saves time - and my system handles it all fine with just 32GB ram. But VP often stops working! I usually defrag my drives and clean up with CCleaner before running VP for a session, to try and minimise this.

Wow!

I never knew that! I'll check it out, thanks.

I found Vegas 18 pretty stable on my machine listed in my signature.

Hi,

That's an interesting point. To be honest, I would probably not encounter this problem because I usually update (if indeed I choose to, which is not often) when there is an offer there.

Not the crashes, but I've had lots of lagging in Vegas Pro 20 particularly just after saving. I saw somewhere on the forum a hint to avoid the lagging issue - which i also had - was in Hub Explorer to turn off Vegas Projects backups - this in Vegas Pro Edit 20:

\

It worked - the lagging disappeared after turning off the project backups.

@Dexcon thanks for the tip!

I bought it. The NewBlue TotalFX license seems to be perpetual! :)
