I am currently downloading/installing Vegas pro 14!!! :)))

Hi Scott,

My impression is, that V14 waaaay much more stable with enabled GPU than the 13 was.
I have few older projects I made in V10 but kept in case I need to rerender. Those were a complete mess in V13 if I didn’t disable GPU – now that works flawless in V14.

I use just very few effects, such as color curves, color corrector mainly, but I’m fine with Vegas stock FX’s.
So I can’t tell about 3rd party FX anything.
Vegasaur stopped again, seems I have to buy the 3.0.

The interface changed a bit, it got a new BW icon set, which I don’t like very much.
Otherways the main things stay as they were in the previous versions.
I mean, no need to re-learn, as it is the case with Microsofts modern concepts for example.
So if you change from V13 to V14 the first thing you’ll notice is the BW icons on the UI.
The second thing you’ll experience that GPU acceleration does work, and even better: it also seems to be useable
🙂

Give it a try!

Best regards

This is all very promising, thanks for your feedback and keep it coming if you discover anything else. Out of curiosity what GPU card do you have?

Now I just need to wait for Magix to offer me some sort of 13 -> 14 upgrade path.

I have downloaded the Trial V14, (This is on my PC2 editor specs below)
1) Pluraleyes 4.0.1 does not show up in MVP14 but does show up in SVP13 on same computer.
2) New Blue Titler Pro 4 ultimate crashed MVP14 but works on SVP13
3) Hitfilm Effects works ok so far on both
4) Newblue Color fast works on both so far
5) I am using Grass Valley HQX Codec 29P 10Bit footage – both SVP13 and MVP14 do some random funky pixilation stuff at different times so I see neither like that codec
6) Running 6 tracks of HQX in multicam – The MVP14 seems to manage multicam better than the SVP13
7) Rendered out Main Concept MP4 720P 2 Pass MVP14 with GPU on – no problems
8) Rendered HEVC 1920×1080 29P 12 mbps with GPU on – no problems

MVP14 Real time – Preview Full – 6 Tracks – different levels of opacity so all six tracks are all visible – With different NewBlue and Hitfilm effects on each track. Plays back very good on the external 4K monitor

I’m a little concerned about the crash with Titler Pro 4. I had the same problem with both SVP13 and Hitfilm Pro 4. Turned out the order of installation was important for Vegas: remove TP4, install Vegas 13, then TP4. I also had to make all old versions/folders of Titler (Titler EX, etc) were off my disk and out of the VST plugins folder. Maybe this will work for you?
