How Do I Install a Video Filter Plug-in?
I feel like I should know this, but, how do I install/embed a video filter plug-in to Vegas so I can use it in-program? I downloaded an open-source filter, and the file is called a BLEND file, with a .blend extension. I’ve done this with fonts and codecs, but not filters.
I don’t know where to put it in my program files, which is where I assume it should go:

I’ve been using Vegas for years and have never heard of a blend file.
Where did it come from (i.e. a link for us to check it out)? -
Are you sure that the file isn’t a Blender 3D plug-in? That won’t work with Vegas. As Mike said, can you give us a link to where you found it.

I found it here, from a 3D Designer’s personal site:
https://www.luceri.it/2010/08/70s-filter/I never used to use filters so I don’t know where to get them other than open-source and private sites. And actually I don’t know how to find THOSE other than googling for them.
I need a filter to give a Seventies B-Movie look, and a filter to look like it was filmed in the eighties.. Any idea where I can find these kinds of things? Thanks guys.

As John said, that’s a Blender file and won’t work with Vegas.
Take a look at NewBlue Film Effects for what you’re looking to re-create.
You can create this look in Vegas without having to resort to a purchased package but it would take quite a while to come up with less than what NewBlue offers with a few mouse clicks. -
At the risk of sounding cheap, I’m trying to justify buying a package that expensive since I only need it for about 10 seconds of video for just one project. Are there any reputable open source type filters that you may know of, even if they’re excessively tedious or ill-designed?

You don’t need to buy anything. You can achieve this with the Color Corrector and Color Curves in Vegas Pro. If you don’t know how, you might want to look at VASST ReelPaks. They are only $25 each and use Vegas filters so you can learn how to make similar looks yourself if you study them. There are 5 packs to choose from with different looks.

If you go down the page linked above to the section on DVD Architect 3, there is a version of Magic Bullet Movie Looks you can download that still seems to work fine with Vegas. If you play about with the presets, you might find something to your taste.
