VST Plugins Not Available in Platinum v11 - 256

Vivid Lizard wrote on 12/9/2011, 9:11 PM

I have Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum v11 build 256 on a 64-bit Windows 7 system and ever since I updated to 256 I have not only lost my connection to my NewBlue Audio Scrubbers that came free for Vegas, the tab that allows you to select the folder that the effects are in is completely blank... just white with absolutely nothing in it... no selection box, no menu.. nothing!

Sound Forge Audio Studio 10, though, sees them fine and the VST tab is complete.

Has anyone else run into this and does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

Thanks.

Make sure you VST folder is pointed at the plugins, you can have more than one folder.

Thank you, but how do I "point" a folder at plugins? If you mean go to the VST tab in Options/Preferences, then, again it is BLANK. There is no way that I can see to "point" to my VST Plugin folders since, as I said in the first post, it is blank / white / no menus / no way to choose anything.

Look at the directory that Sound Forge point to. Then, go into the VMS setting that you mention and point that to the same directory.

What VMS settings? Where? Do you mean VST settings? If so, AGAIN, the VST Effects tab is BLANK in Vegas Movie Studio... not blank like nothing is selected, but REALLY blank like the tab is pure white all over with no selection boxes or menus or ANYTHING WHATSOEVER so there is no way to point it to the folder that has the effects in it.

I know how to select where the Audio Scrubber effects, or any VST effects, are... I've done it before. It's just that now that I've updated to build 256, that tab in Vegas Movie Studio Options/Preferences seems to be nonoperational, like there is a bug in this build OR it has been deliberately decommissioned.

I hope that is clearer.

Goto Options tab, then preferences, then VST plugins......set your directory.

I think the OP's problem is that he just CANNOT SEE any of this...

I'm on build 220 still myself, but I don't seem to remember other posts about b256 re this matter. Maybe somebody who's updated successfully can enlighten?

I'm running 256 and that is what I find. Perhaps a complete uninstall and reinstall would work.

I've updated to build 256 and can verify that the VST Effects tab is OK and functional. I see a similar display to that in vkmast's post.

Thank you. It looks like I need to do a reinstall. Was hoping not to because it can mean reinstalling various plug-ins separately from previous Vegas versions and separate NewBlue installs... oh well.

Thanks again.
