It seems that the "Batch Stabilization" with Vegasaur 3.8.2 in VP17 doesn't work. The process seems to finish fine but the FX button on the event doesn't change color and the "Vegas Video Stabilization" does not get saved. Can anyone else confirm that behavior?
Oh well... the FX button color doesn't change because the "Vegas Video Stabilization" FX got added as a Media FX. I was under the impression that we longer need to apply it on the Media Level?

In VP17 you needn't. Probably that new workflow is not yet modified in Vegasaur.
There is no bug.
Vegasaur Batch Stabilzation applies the effect at the media level and so the FX button will not change color. I particularly find this correct because if the effect is applied at the event level any changes made to that event (eg. a simple cut) invalidates the stabilization data and will cause the stabilization to be lost and it will be necessary to stabilize everything again, as ocurs with Mercalli V4.

I do agree to a certain extend. The reason I like it at the event level is that the FX icon color changes. It would be great if Vegas could also change the FX icon to a different color if the event has a media FX. That would require four colors in total, no FX, media FX, event FX or media and event FX.

It seems like you didn't enable the Media FX button via the Event's hamburger menü. It does what you want.

Wow! How did I miss that! When was the Media FX icon introduced?
It's been introduced with VP17.

@Former user This got me thinking about why I actually don't like it on the event level. If you have a long shoot, even just a minute or so that you want to split into several smaller events, applying stabilization on the media level can produce bad results, like uneccassary zooming. I know, I can make a subclip and Vegasaur actually does that automatically but you cant make changes to a subclip like extending it in case you want a few extra frames beginning or end.
I guess there is no real "perfect" solution to it.
