Custom Template box way too big! Not fixed in 17.0 I see..
BTW it is a 4K screen but I did not see the point in capturing and rendering in 4k for the purposes of making that video showing the problem.

Custom Template box way too big! Not fixed in 17.0 I see..
If this is indeed a 4k screen, consider reducing the scale percent in the Windows display settings. My point is that I should be able to scale my screen in windows without Vegas context boxes breaking to the point of being unusable. Magix needs to allow for scaling of this and any context box correctly or else let me shrink it or else correctly detect screen size and scale before deciding to make it too big and nonfunctional. Windows screen scaling is not new, it should not break this video editor and force me to not use the scaling factor I want to use in all of windows just to use Vegas. Is this Magix "support" or just a community forum? Do they ever even try to find and fix bugs? Does anyone that can fix this actually read these forums? Do they ever respond? I think I am beginning to understand why there are so many bugs and problems with Vegas. It seems their solution to bugs is for the customer to find work-a-rounds instead of actually fixing the problems. That goes far beyond this problem.

Is this bug ever going to be fixed?
This never happened to me, neither in Vegas Pro, nor Movie Studio (Platinum). Do you ever render anything in 4k?? Have you never heard of this? If you have never seen it that's great for you. Lots of people see it.

Please note also that renders in the current trial versions are limited to projects less than 2 minutes. Ok but not sure what that has to do with this bug. I know I am not the only one to see it. It is on youtube and on this forum.

Difference between Platinum and Suite?
I downloaded the Platinum trial only.. I guess if I can still use the FX in 16.0 then if I really want to use them they will still be there. The only way I can tell what will happen with 17 Platinum or Suite is to buy it and install it though. That was kind of my whole point in asking what the difference is and what will happen to all my FX. I suppose if I don't like what happens I can ask for a refund. but I do not know if a refund can be given for an "Upgrade".. Since it is not a stand-alone program as far as license and buying it is concerned. I have a feeling most of those FX from 16.0 will pop up in 17.0 and maybe some just won't work, that seems to be what happened from 13 to 16 upgrades IIRC. I can't remember exactly though.

Ok well it seems downloading and installing Movie Studio 17 Platinum told me precisely jack about what happens to all my FX if I upgrade from 16 Platinum unless it's going to just delete all my presets and FX from all the past versions that's working now in 16. If it does that is not an upgrade that is a massive downgrade since I use a lot of those. Too bad someone from Magix can't just say what happens! This is exactly why I am always hesitant to upgrade. 16 platinum FX 17 platinum trial FX 🤷♂️

Difference between Platinum and Suite?
It's not installed on top of an old program. Your presets, customised render templates etc are stored in various locations and your VMS17 installation will go looking for them so they are made available in VMS17. Likewise it will go looking for OFX on your system which it's able to use, and present them to you in the VMS17 Video FX window. I realize they are not physically overwriting the program data, etc. I was referring to how it dealt with the OFX, licenses, etc.. Like you say it uses the various locations the info and incenses are in. I made custom locations for their installation, I know where they are. I do seem to remember accidentally trying to run an old version of Movie Studio Platinum once (old shortcut mistaken for new one) and getting an error saying the license is not valid anymore because I upgraded or something like that though. Anyways I wonder if a demo will also go looking for all those OFX locations exactly like an upgrade would. I guess I will just install the demo and see what happens. Regardless of what happens I think Magix should spell it all out for it's customers exactly what will happen before you upgrade.

I see where they install to a different location, but they must use the same library of files because all my presets and everything carry over as if it was installed on top of old program. I can't member exactly where those files are without looking, in the app data folder or user data folder somewhere I guess.

Difference between Platinum and Suite?
Hmmm.. I'd be doing an upgrade, not a fresh install if I bought 17 Platinum or Suite.. I thought you were talking about that not a separate install. I realize you can have separate installs but when upgrading it seems as though new is overwriting the old one, but I'm not sure how the licensing works with those FX packs when doing that. It is as clear as mud to me now.

Difference between Platinum and Suite?
Ok.. So yeah I have Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 13 through 16 now.. with all the FX packs they came with.. So hopefully if I upgrade to 17 Platinum I will be able to keep all those old FX packs, etc.. Makes it hard to do a fresh installation though. I'd like to but I have so many presets fro different things it would be a nightmare to try to recreate all that.

I'd like to know before I go willy nilly installing updates over top of my current program just to "see what happens". Installing the trial of v.17 does not affect your existing v.16. It's a separate installation, not an update. Right.. That's what I thought and said in post above. So installing 17 demo won't tell me if my current FX in 16 Platinum that is not part of 17 platinum or suite will be deleted or what when I go to install upgrade.

https://fxhome.com/store/hitfilm-express#vfx-starter may give you an idea of the effects included in the "Pack". And I guess you can find out which come over to v.17 only if you install the trial. It's highly recommended always anyway [pinned post on the forum]. Your choice of course. Yes I saw that, that's when I realized some of those that I already have are in different packages not included in either update (possibly). Also I don't know what happens to legacy FX you already had when you upgrade. If install the demo that is not going on top of current 16 Platinum install like an upgrade would, that would be a separate installation, so that wouldn't necessarily tell me what would happen to my previously installed FX that are not included in the update version. This is way to complicated. They should just let you keep the FX you already have when upgrading instead of constantly changing the packages. Maybe they do.. I don't know. I guess that is part of the many questions I have. When I upgraded before I don't think the FX packages changed all that much so it wasn't an issue. Now from 16 to 17 seems I might lose some things I do not want to lose. I'd like to know before I go willy nilly installing updates over top of my current program just to "see what happens".

https://i.imgur.com/fsim0z0.jpg Basically just wondering which of these I will lose or which I will keep depending on if I upgrade to 17 Platinum or 17 Suite. Maybe someone from MAGIX who came up with all these bundles and controls what happens when you upgrade can tell me? 🤷♂️ I certainly can't figure it out.

Difference between Platinum and Suite?
It says there are 16 effects that you get with Suite over Platinum. Video is absolutely no help at all. Product page lists a few as I mentioned above but not a complete list of differences. I think I understand what you mean by presets now. They must be listing each preset as an "FX" or something? I don't know. Also some of those effects it seems like I already have with Movie Studio Platinum 16. "VFX: Damage", "Color: Starter", "VFX: Lighting" (not even on list for Suite), "VFX: Neon Lights" (don;t use it but those presets all sound exactly like ones I have already). So does that mean the ones I already have in 16 Platinum quit working if I upgrade to 17 Platinum if they are not included in that version? They only keep working if I upgrade to 17 Suite? What if some of the ones I have and use now are not even included in 17 Suite? I just lose them? I have no idea until I upgrade to 17 Suite or Platinum to find out. Also I have several custom presets on those effects I use all the time and I don't want to lose. Some of those are carried over from 14 Platinum, maybe even 13 Platinum. I know a lot have stopped working along the way when upgrading. I don't think downloading a separate demo will answer any of those questions about the upgrade. I don't know why they make it so difficult to figure out what happens with all the plug-ins when you upgrade.

Oh I just found something I did not see before- Down t the bottom of page:https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/newsletter/upgrade-vegas-movie-studio/features/#productMenu "FXhome Ignite Advanced VFX Pack Gunfire pack, Beautify, VFX: Damage, VFX: Retro, Color: Starter Enhance your movies with effects and filters that look like they were made for a Hollywood blockbuster. With 16 of FXhome most stunning effects, you will give your videos a unique, pro-level look. For example, add shadows and highlights to create the perfect mood for the scene. Exclusively in Suite" Notice it still does not give a complete list of the added FX you get when you spend almost double on the SUITE version. I may want some I may not but hard to know when it's a big secret. What are the "16 of FXhome most stunning effects" Magix? Is there a list somewhere? Maybe even examples of what they do? 🤷♂️

For reference this is the comparison chart. notice no real info given anywhere about what is in that FX pack.https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/newsletter/upgrade-vegas-movie-studio/product-comparison/#productMenuIf the info is there, it is hiding 8 layers deep somewhere.

So I won't lose anything (the FX) when upgrading? I won't gain anything by upgrading to 17 Suite over 17 Platinum? This makes no sense.This is all very vague with these upgrades and what they actually are and what will happen if you install upgrade over older version you already have; what you will lose, what you will gain, etc.. How about a dang list MAGIX? Would it be that hard? 🤷♂️They list a FX pack as the major upgrade that about doubles the price but do not tell you what's in it, but instead point to a video which is equally vague and lacks any real info. I mean just tell me what I am buying before I buy. 🙄

Error rendering 4k
Thanks for your help guys. I found out that if I set the preview ram to 0 it clears it up. Thanks again for the help What version of Movie Studio are you using? Ridiculous that they won't fix these bugs. I have to set that to 0 and threads to 1 or it will not render 4k in VMS 16 Platinum. 32GB ram 8BG GDDR on GTX1070 GPU. SMH.. I also have to set preview ram to a very low number and threads to like 2 or 4 even when editing or it gets very buggy and preview starts getting black frames and eventually will crash program in 16 Platinum. I guess they did not fix any of these bugs in 17?

VEGAS Movie Studio 16 Update 3 (Build 158 & 167)
Did update fix the bug where you have to set Dynamic RAM preview max MB to 0 and Max number of rendering threads to 1 in order to render 4k video? It's been like that since release and not fixed in last update either. Also I seem to have to do that to edit 4k video as well without encountering crashes and black frames and all kinds of problems. Of course editing is a lot slower when setting those to 0 and 1 so it really stinks to have to do that.

The new Screen capture in VMS 16
I just tested it. It is broken for me too. When I tell it to save to a certain folder, it just puts the "x..vegcap" 1k file in that folder but continues to put the video and audio files in "C:\Users\USE NAME\Captures\xxxxxxx" folder. It does not obey. The mp4 video files work, but there is no audio in the mp4 files. There is a separate audio wav file that is only 6 seconds long and records no sound. So no way to record sound. I have both possible audio sources selected in the video capture window. VMS 16 also freezes after trying to do this. So yeah the whole thing is broken. Much easier for me to use geforce experience capture from GTX1070 Nvidia drivers as VMS Platinum 16.0 latest build is still broken and buggy and unusable in many, many ways. EDIT- And when I tried to import directly to timeline it also put them in the "C:\Users\USE NAME\Captures\xxxxxxx" folder, did not put them in timeline, and completely locked up upon exiting screen cap window. Had to delete task from task manager. EDIT 2 It also does not capture mouse cursor.

crashing
Same here - Happens CONSTANTLY. I'm hitting "ctrl+s" (save) about every 20 seconds after every single change I make.. Also no GPU acceleration on timeline no matter what I do. Same performance with it on or off. Seems Movie Studio 16 is a very unstable program and barely works at all, and buggy as hell.
