Video Stabilization missing after update to Build 636

Try Options/Preferences/Deprecated Features and check the 'Enable Legacy Stabilizer' item.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it's not the legacy one I use. It's the current Magix stabilizer that you can apply at an event level that's disappeared.

That is odd. With b636, I've still got the native Vegas Pro Video Stabilization FX at the event level. Perhaps try resetting Vegas Pro back to its factory default settings as per https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-how-can-i-reset-vegas-pro-to-default-settings--104646/ . But note that this does take it back to its basic default settings and any custom view, display or toolbar settings will need to be made again.

I don't have a stabilizer plugin in 636 either, only if I enable the legacy stabilizer. I reinstalled it, reset it, but it's not there, neither is the denoise plugin

@David-Grace
Did you try to reïnstall the "mercalli-40-sony64bit" from the Prodad Mercalli V4 bundel?
On my hardware no problem, look

@David-Grace @Mykee ... do your computer specifications meet the recommended specs for Vegas Pro 19 - https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/specifications/#productMenu If they do, something else is going on causing problems which is beyond my paygrade.

@Mykee
In build 636 there is the Vegas Stabilization available, look

It's very strange. Glad to hear you've still got it at your end. I've just tried resetting it as you suggested, still no joy I'm afraid.
I saved my preferences before the reset so I can load them back in after trying that experiment quite easily.
It's like the plugin is missing entriely from my system, but I don't know how to get it back, especially as I've tried uninstalling and re-installing already.

I just installed the 550 version and it has Denoise and Video stabilization. I just upgraded to 636 and both are missing (I haven't looked at the other filters).
Here are the two pictures from the 550 version.

It's not a hardware bug, because if it was in the 550 version but not in the 636 version, it's a bug.
And my hardware is as follows:
- i7-3770
- 32 GB RAM
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 - 12 GB
- Windows 10.

@Mykee Hi glad to see you still have it, but here's a screen shot from my view, it's just not there anymore.
In build 636 there is the Vegas Stabilization available, look

Mykee wrote on 6/3/2022, 8:46 AM

Here is my version, the filter is not there. If you turn it off in your favourites, will it be there afterwards?

Thanks for your advice and taking the time to message. I should think my computer easily meets the requirements:
Ryzen 7 2700x 8 Core
32gb Ram
NVIDIA RTX 3050
Windows 10

Never had an issue running vegas on it until today. Hopefully it's a bug Magix can patch very soon!

I think it might be some OFX incompatibility. I have proDAD and NewBlue effects (for other programs), and since the changelog had a change "Update to support the latest version of OFX specification", I suspect this...

Hmm it stikes me as odd that the built in stabilizer would be broken by a compatibilty issue. It makes sense for issues with third party plugins like ProDAD etc, but the effect I'm reffering to is part of the stock Vegas install, is the Magix video stabiliser that they made and implemented.
Does anyone know how to make an official bug report to Magix?

Dexcon wrote on 6/3/2022, 9:11 AM

@Mykee ... as you've probably now seen, your CPU is well below recommended minimum specifications for Vegas Pro 19 - 3 gens behind for HD and 4 gens behind for 4K.

"Update to support the latest version of OFX specification"

Yes, that may be right particularly if coding in the latest OFX specs requires coding only available in more recent CPUs. But I'm only speculating.

But then @David-Grace has the same problem with an up-to-date system. It would be a good idea to send off support requests to Support via the Support button at the top of the forum - but it is a convoluted process that needs to be persisted with in order to get to the lodge a support request button.

Mykee wrote on 6/3/2022, 9:15 AM

I don't know, sorry.

I uninstalled all NewBlue plugins, BorisFXs, and all 3rd party plugins, but it didn't help. So it's a bug.

@Mykee Look in 'C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 19.0\OFX Video Plug-Ins'. Do you have folders

ofx360Stabilizer.ofx.bundle and
Stabilize.ofx.bundle

@David-Grace @Mykee Does a factory reset of Vegas Pro helped? (Factory reset: start Vegas, then immediately held down CTRL key +SHIFT key)

Dexcon wrote on 6/3/2022, 9:31 AM

@Mykee ... Just as a matter of interest, have you installed the AI Deep Learning Models? If yes, do those AI VFX (Colorization, Style Transfer and Upscale) work? When Vegas Pro 18 was released with only the first two AI VFX being then available, they didn't work on my then i7-4770 computer. Perhaps the system requirements for Stabilization and Denoise have been elevated with b636 - hopefully a Vegas expert might be able to clarify.

Jack S wrote on 6/3/2022, 9:33 AM

@Dexcon My system is an ancient i5 and I still have the Stabilisation FX.

Hi there, yes I thought to check the same thing. I can confirm I still have the plugins present in the program files, they just don't show up inside Vegas.

Thanks, I've already tried that but it didn't fix the issue I'm afraid.

Of course, not helped. :(

Yes, I installed this, but but I don't see these filters. Could this be the solution? Are they not set up properly?

Here are my filters after removing the 3rd party plugins and reset:

@Mykee So, you are missing all plugins from 'MagixAiFx.ofx.bundle' and 'MagixCVFx.ofx.bundle'. Can you look into this folders and report if 'MagixCVFx.ofx' or 'MagixAiFx.ofx' are preset in their Content\Win64 folder path. It would be also nice if you can share your log file (svfx_video_grovel_x64.log) which is located in your user folder (C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VEGAS Pro\19.0)
