I have used FilmConvert Pro 2.2 inside VEGAS Pro. It is great.
But when I wanted to download FilmConvert Nitrate 3.04 in https://www.filmconvert.com/download , it returned a old FilmConvert Pro 2.2 to me.
When I selected OFX resolve, It returned me a FilmConvert Nitrate 3.04.
Does Vegas Pro is kicked out? Isn't that a OFX commonly will support VEGAS Pro?
They talked about supporting Vegas a year ago but it never happened. Too small a market? It's too bad as I wanted to test it.

@RogerS I think its most codes are the same as Resolve Version, because they have the same OFX api. There is no reason to kick out VEGAS Pro. 😠
Here's the status from last year- someone used FB Messenger to contact them:
https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/fyi-filmconvert-nitrate--117942/
It may be because VEGAS doesn't support the latest OFX standard and the on-screen controls.
But resolve can. So they only made resolve supports.
I think if someone wants the answer, instead of speculating, ask directly.
Me, I've moved on using Leeming LUT to correct camera colors to standard Rec 709, and then Graide Color Curve for an all-in-one grading solution.
Another serious Color correction and Grading juggernaut, its non other than 3DLut Creator.... It's what i use quite often and simply works beautifully with Vegas Pro!.
have the same experience. time to file a ticket with filmconvert
Ticket? AVsupport, many have already loooong ago requested an official Vegas Pro support from them for Nitrate, and the response is always the same, "it's coming soon"...... Until now haven't seen it.
1. VEGAS Pro only supports old OFX api standard.
2. VEGAS Pro doeesn't support FilmConvert Nitrate's on-screen controls.
If you really want FilmConvert Nitrate's support for VEGAS Pro, you may wait for next brand new VEGAS Pro with latest OFX api standard and on-screen controls. It will be a long time unless you guys urge developers to upgrade OFX system as soon as possible.

The 'new' ofx standard came out 6 years ago, give them time guys, they're a small team
"OfxParamPropParametricRange\0" ; pub const kOfxSonyVegasHostName : & 'static [ u8 ; 31usize ] = b"com.sonycreativesoftware.vegas\0"
That means current code is from the sony vegas days. A magix staff member has commented
To be fair that was only 3 1/2 years ago, and they're a small team, and there's a pandemic
@lenard It seems latest OFX and VST3 plugin system of VEGAS Pro haven't been upgraded for a long time. 😭😰
Why doesn't Magix combine Video Pro X and VEGAS Pro product line to one so as to put all sources into one new pro software. It will speed up the revolutionary upgrade of product, rather than two turtles crawled slowly. 😭😰
Response from Filmconvert Support:
Yes, it's an issue with Magix/Vegas and the way they implement the OFX standard. We don't have any plans to extend support for the foreseeable future, unfortunately.
And, when asked what would be necessary:
We don't know what's stopping the OFX plugin from working on Vegas, the Vegas developers will be able to find out if they look at the logs when they load the plugin.
So I guess we'd need to find a willing, able and hard working Magix crew member to make this move to the never ending ToDo list.. ;-)
Therefore, they indeed tried to make Nitrate compatible with VEGAS Pro but they failed.
Let's be waiting for next brand new VEGAS Pro with latest OFX standdard support, full on-screen controls and new Event FX api which is able to access to other layers.
If that day comes, it will be a great benefit for all third-party plugins. You will be able to apply Mocha Pro to Event FX directly and it will read other logo layers in VEGAS timeline to attach them to tracking, Instead of having to apply Mocha to composite FX and read very long blank black-screen frames or plenty of irrelevant event in that track to make work complex, to make too much track space wasted; You will be able to adjust S_BlurMoCurve's rotate, position, zoom directly on preview screen controls; You will be able to apply BCC Primatte Studio to Event FX directly and it will directly read other layers as background to do further Spill Suppression; You will be able to directly adjust Ignite Pro Puppet Tool in preview window normally; You will be able to read layers in VEGAS timeline as BCC Particle 3D's color layer, map layer, texture layer; You will be able to directly apply BCC Title Studio to Event FX and read that layer as texture, read other layers as background layers ......
But that may not come soon, because current VEGAS team is rather small.

@AVsupport That's a big Job's news. 😖😖
