VST3 effects

Hi,

I have Vegas Pro 19. The default VST folder is set to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ where there are tons of VST3s. When I do a Refresh it shows all the VST3s while it's scanning but when it's done it doesn't show any of them in the "select VST effects..." list. It only shows the default ones from Vegas installation folder (F:Programs). See attached pic.

Why isn't it showing all my VST3s?

VST3 support in Vegas Pro was introduced in Vegas Pro 20:

While Vegas Pro 19 may show VST3s being present on your computer, it can't actually use them. Perhaps its best to remove the VST3 folder in the Preferences/VST Effects tab.

@Deuce As was pointed out, VST3 was not yet available for Vegas Pro 19....... But what i did back then to allow Vegas 19 and earlier to work with VST3 plugins quite well, was to use a free vst3 to vst2 shell Converter. You can do a search for it if you wanna go that route.
