  • Just purchased Sony Vegas Pro 14… how do I make sure this doesn’t conflict with my Vegas Pro 13 files?

    I’ll start by saying that, in case the community is not aware, Humble Bundle is selling Sony Vegas Pro 14 and some other software for $20. Here’s the link to purchase, it ends in two days.

    So I bought it, but I have not installed it yet because I’m working on audio editing projects at the moment using Sony Vegas 13. I don’t want to install Vegas Pro 14 and then have their be a conflict in opening up the old Vegas 13 files when the new software is in the system. Is there a way to prevent this, or am I going to be just fine going ahead and installing the new software?

    Hi Seth

    You can run different instances of Vegas on the same computers. The only problem is that a .veg file made in V 13 will not open in V 14. They are not backward compatible.

    I myself, and others, are running different versions without any problems.

    Francois? That would be Forward Compatibility. Vegs made in V14 can’t be opened in V13.

    That’s what you get when writing posts in the wee hours… Next time, I’ll get some sleep first !
