Voukoder in Vegas Pro 23 - how to install basic version?

Hello,

 

I know that Voukoder plugin is no longer supported. I mean basic version of Voukoder.

Do you know how to install Voukoder plugin in Vegas Pro 23?

I tried to reinstall connector and Voukoder plugin which was released for Vegas Pro 22, but I have been still not seeing Voukoder in my render template.

 

Do you know how to fix this issue?

Regards
Marcin

I am 42. I have been creating videos since 2009 (the date when my first daughter was born in). My first video software was Pinnacle, next one was Sony Vegas 8 (I am not sure if remember it correctly). I am also a developer and wedding movie operator and editor. For example: I have created an Android app which let me control Vegas Pro rendering progress level on Android smartphone. I created it for fun, because I also love programming. I also created my own plugin for Audio To Text feature specified usage from Vegas Pro 19. I created proxy creation plugin which uses multiple GPU threads (maximum 3) to create proxy files for Vegas Pro. I also written many others plugin/softwares which enhance my video editing, also wedding editing.

The developer didn't update it to work with the revised file io system of 23.

I love Voukoder basic as well. I imagine there will be no new connector created for it as it has been discontinued. But you can give this a try:

TO CONNECT VOUKODER CLASSIC TO A NEW VERSION OF VEGAS PRO WITHOUT CONNECTOR RELEASE:

1.      Copy this file :  Voukoder-x64.fio2007-config  from   C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 2x.0   (replace X with the older version number you had previously installed)

 

2.      Copy it to the SAME location in the new Vegas version installation (and recommend keeping a backup copy of this file as well as in the next step). Note it is in the main directory (whereas the file in the next step is in a subdirectory).

 

3.      Manually copy the file voukoderplug.dll from your PREVIOUS Vegas install, to the SAME directory THAT YOU WILL CREATE in the new Vegas Pro installation  "...\VEGAS Pro 2y.0\FileIO Plug-Ins\voukoderplug" (y is the new version number, so if you just installed Vegas Pro 23, the directory will be \VEGAS Pro 23.0\FileIO Plug-Ins\voukoderplug - the underlined part is the part you need to create)

 

4.      You should be good to go after restarting Vegas Pro.

That didn't work for me- did you test this advice with 23?

Was it AI generated? This worked for older versions.

I have not tried myself but my understanding is that is what has worked in the past. Is the FileIO plugin directory still present and similar as with version 22?

VP23 changed things for 3rd party plugins. I sense corruption spreading through the AI continuum.
