[Release] VEGAS Pro 16 – Powerful video production & audio editing
I am getting the impression that when a new version is released, the user has to realize they may have invested too soon in the current version they purchased only a few months ago. I’ve been told to learn another NLE just in case I can’t tolerate the bugs that seem to come out of nowhere whenever it gets close to the time for another “Magical” release that will solve “Known” issues you have with the last version and sprinkled with a couple of “New” features. I have so much time invested in Vegas Pro.. And I always try to understand that development of this software is very specialized.. But I have never really been able to finish even the simplest project edits without having to stop my workflow and solve a tech issue with the software. I’m standing by Vegas until I can’t afford to anymore. Vegas Pro 15 Suite (latest update). windows 10 64bit 3.4ghz i7 7th gen 16g ram nVidia GeForce series

VEGAS Pro 15 Update 6 (build 384) - General Discussion
Well I haven't been able to use VP15 enough to even know if these 3 fixes will benefit a non existent work flow. 😊

Current V16 Upgrade Offer
I really want to support Vegas Pro... I’ve been slowly but surely learning how to use it proficiently and achieving the kind of “Professional” results that I can derive an income from. But every since I started using this software at (v11Pro) and now at 15 Pro15 Suite, I’ve noticed one constant behavior.. That is, the need to spend a lot of valuable time trying to figure out another functional problem with the software that impedes many of the projects that I try to complete.. I have to say though... If this forum wasn’t around, I would never have learned what I’ve learned thus far. I feel that no matter how loyal the customer base is for Vegas Pro, profit will prevail and it will always be a gamble when we pay for a new release. I just upgraded to version 15 Pro Suite $350.00 (usd) less than a month ago and no offer of version 16 .🙁 The main reason I upgraded from versions 12/13 pro was the fact that they both started crashing for no reason that I can tell but the new Magix ad for upgrading always seem to take over my system. Just can’t trust anybody anymore.. Version 15 Pro Suite crashes if my system is online.. Magix could’ve at least taken me to a movie and bought me dinner before this frustrating experience. I probably will figure out how to make the software work properly, sooner or later, but I don’t have enough confidence to put an important project on it YET!

Vegas Crash
Hello Brother- May I asked if you are online when you have your NLE open? And are you planning to install the latest update?

VP14 crashed frequently on pro tools 12 file "CFnd.dll"
I'm not inclined to create any negative kharma, but I fell for the sinister digital trick of, if I just upgrade to the lastest version of Vegas Pro 15, the constant crashes will cease... For about the last 18 months or so, my Sony Vegas Pro Versions 12 & 13 would crash after editing very basic files, using mostly simple cuts and transitions and so on... When I open up 12 or 13 , the new Magix offer pop-up prevails if my machine is online. If I open program offline and run it, the program will last a little longer but eventually crashes in the middle of an edit. I removed Versions 12 and 13, but the problem persist. I have nothing positive to say about this so called (UPGRADE) but I feel "Ripped Off". I feel like All Magix gave me for my money is infinite instability and an impeded work-flow. They put the software out there and expect the user to figure out what is wrong with the functionality. I don't mind having to "tweek here" and "tweek there" but why are we the users tasked with something that should be done before release? They got my money and I cant get a refund for registered software.. I should've exercised more discretion before my purchase, considering the history of my past experiences. I have no choice but to go to College and study computer science, even if the teacher is 30 years younger than me.👎🤓

Magix, will there be an upgrade offer?
Got to have my PluralEyes working like it should, so I can't justify going to v14 unless they give it to me. I still use Titler Pro 1, so I will have to go back and forth from v12 to v13. I have active projects and I just don't want to boldly go where I don't really have to be right now. I am a bit discouraged about v14 in wake of what I'm reading so far.

P 13 Purchasers Are Standing By For A Jaw Dropping Upgrade Offer!
Understanding that our friends at Magix are entitled to bring about the life sustaining revenue that will keep the lights on and continue further development of the software is a natural "given". Magix started off with a great software (Sony Vegas), and apparently wants to carry on the familiar torch we all know and love to use. Imo, what would be fair is a free (upgrade) to version 14 to the legal owners of the last two "pro" versions (12 & 13). Take care of your obvious base and focus on retaining them for future revenue and perhaps some no doubt, hard earned profit. I am a loyal Vegas Pro user and as long as there are no deviations from the core product that is responsible for my editing skills and professional attitude of the software, I will stay in the family.. I will look forward to learning as I go, which is what Vegas Pro facilitates to a certain degree.

If the shoes fit..
I understand that there is a "high end" way of producing/editing a polished, globally accepted and professionally respected video production.. Knowing what tools to use that will be efficient and requested by EP's all over the world. This whole video production thing can be an expensive hobby or a revenue earning business with many rewards if you learn how to buy just what is necessary to get the job done and not chase after the hype because the studios have ordained a certain way of doing things. I have to admit though.. Once I really started to understand Sony Vegas Pro and all the possibilities in Post Production, My equipment needs evolved with respect to getting the "professional angle"and not the "home video shot".. And recognizing the need to implement professional audio recording and proper lighting. If I may be so bold to say.. The editing software is only a small piece in the production process. Maybe the "Chicken before the Egg" per say.

If the shoes fit..
@JohnnyRoy With all due respect, I think I said the same thing in my "lone wolf" understanding.. I would certainly not miss a pair of uncomfortable shoes.. And for me, a hammer will always be a hammer.. You can drive a nail with it or crack open a walnut and enjoy the goodies inside. As far as "media management" and "metadata" tags, collaboration on a large scale is simply overkill to me considering that if technology keeps evolving on its current trajectory, the general public will be able to produce "blockbuster" films with a cellphone and a tablet.. The industry continues to become more and more sophisticated to exclude the organic artists that occasionally sneak in the rear door and not have to conform to any one industry standard.. "Lone Wolf" as you put it. Blair Witch Project comes to mind when I think about the unpredictable nature of this field.. I forgot what editing proccess was involved for the movie, but no one expected what happen with that movie. No one has to do anything other than understand what they want to do and make it happen.

New User Interface for New Vegas Pro
I think the current UI with multiple screens and the much celebrated intuitive flow of the software has allowed me to learn NLE functionality in a way that I did not expect.. I am very comfortable with how it is.. And from where I sit, nothing needs to be changed.

Vegas 14 Email Offer
@PixelStuff I'm hoping an upgrade for current version13 users will be an affordable $99.00 or less. Loyalty should be rewarded to keep the wheels rolling. Besides, outside of a few fundamental performance improvements, how much different will V14 be compared to the fantastic V13?

Ready to buy a new Camcorder
@Jerry K Yes the Sony NX100 has the specs of what I've been getting used to working with. As the OP stated very clearly that he has been a (Canon) user "For Years" and basically basing his or her decision to switch for sd card recording... I can not offer professional advise on that decision, but I can offer my insight based on my personal experience with the Sony cameras I use. I don't think the (Canons) mentioned come anywhere near these (Sonys). Just because of budget limitations we all have to make what ever camera we have work for us. I'm gonna take a look at that NX100 a little more.. I'm liking what I see.

@Jerry K Great deal on that AX100.. Almost criminal...LOL. This particular litter of Sony camera has been out a few years now, and is holding it's value quite well.. This model slip through Corporate's fingers.. If someone at the top at Sony realized what a great tool the AX100 and the CX900 were, they might have put a higher $$$$$ on them. I transitioned from SD to HD with the CX900 and never looked back.

Ready to buy a new Camcorder
@OldSmoke Understood.. I am not prepared to work with 4K footage adequately at present and I planned to jib/crane the AX100 like with one of my CX900. I'm a little nervous about autofocus in the crane sweeping movements. I will practice a bit before I deploy in a real project.

I want to match the footage from my cx900's with the down converted 4K footage from the AX100. If that makes any sense. I'm always jumping in the pool not knowing how deep it is.

"3D Sandwhich"
Thanks to all that have responded.. It seems as though I will have to "kick the can" a little until I find an affordable way to use this type of titling effect and use in a professional manner.

@OldSmoke I sold one of my cx900's just to offset cost of a new ax100 because I've been thanking about how good the footage would be if converted from 4K source.. I'm just hoping there won't be too much of a matching difference. Considering making the ax100 the primary on a jib and crane.

I'm not too worried about "what 14 will bring".. Just hoping they don't send 13 into the sunset too soon.
