wait - do we get FREE access to the royalty free image? or just an easy way to search and find

I'm also confused about this. I installed the script and all it gives is a search box which then launches web browser and makes the search in www.thoughtequity.com.

How can we access the "free material" which should be available for registered Vegas users? Initially I thought this to be similar feature that what is in Acid Pro, where it is more integrated with the app itself. Obviously not.

Should we register to the site or what?

>>...do we get FREE access to the royalty free image?...

Typically, the way it works is that you can often download a reduced quality image to see how it fits into your project. You then have the oppertunity to buy it. That is how Adobe Stock Photos works. Very nice featuire.

The pictures are *not* free. That sure would be nice.

I'm referring to this (from the read me of the app):

The Sony Vegas Collection

With registered version of Acid Pro you are entitled to free loops & other material from some website (cannot remember the url, if it is even shown). AP has an integrated "browser" for accessing the site & downloading the material. Available media changes every month.

I thought this being the same, otherwise why it is named "The Sony Vegas Collection" if it is available for all registered users of the site?

And here's the blurb from the "special offer"-email:

Thought Equity™ Motion Footage Search — An exclusive, integrated plug-in designed to streamline the acquisition of stock footage. Includes content from Sony Pictures, National Geographic, HBO and more with a special section provided for registered Vegas Pro 8 users.

Well, the plugin zip folder is corrupt and I do not have anything showing up in my script folder concerning Thought Equity Motion. Any ideas? I installed the demo and updated my serials. I have not installed the DVD as I assume the demo is the same?

The script is just a new front end to the search engine on the Thought Equite Motion site.

When you fire it up it gives you a dialog-box where you type in your search keywords. After you click OK, it fires up your browser (IE, Firefox, whatever is your default browser) and feeds the keywords to the site's search engine which in turn returns you the list of found items. To my understanding it does not integrate the site or the media with Vegas at all.

IMHO the script is a no brainer (not that I could write one) and you can do without it.

Thanks for the links, though. Sony could've provided us all with the info in the readme.txt.

Hi

I registered at the site, got my "order" and have donloadet all the clips, but I cannot view them?

I installed the special blackmagic codec downloadet from their site, but still no luck. Tried 2 differen PC's, and buth QT 7.1.5 and 2.0.

It lokks like QT is still missing a codec, and I cannot see any details on the files if I click them in Vegas explorer.

Anybody know how to do? I have mailed them too..

Thanks.

"I registered at the site, got my "order" and have downloaded all the clips ..." I can't even see where to download clips (15 free?)?

Once you have registered, log on to the site and you should see your name at the top dead centre of the webpage. Point to it and choose "My Orders" from the drop down menu. This should give you a page where you can download the 15 free files.

I have to say I also found this whole process pretty puzzling but the first file seems to be downloading now thanks to the tips posted here.
