Vegas 9 pro and Boris/Prodad?

[John Rofrano]

> Did anybody get the new Vegas 9 Pro working together with Boris FX and Boris Graffitti? I can’t see these plugins in Vegas 9, neither as FX, transition or generated Media.

Boris doesn’t support Vegas Pro 9.0 yet and they don’t support 64-bit either.

> Furthermore, Mercalli (Prodad) is present in the FX tab, but selecting Mercalli (without adding it to the timeline) is sufficient to crash Vegas 9. Is this already known by the Sony people?

I use ProDAD Mercalli in Vegas Pro 9.0 32-bit all the time without any problems. Just used it today to smooth out some walking hand-held footage.

> Last point: Vegas 9 has a new background color. But the ‘new’ production assistant has still the ‘old’ background color. Is this going to change?

If it really bothers people we can look into making it selectable. Several people have asked for this.

Prodad Mercalli works fine, you just need to go to their
website and download and install the latest update.

John,

I recently installed 9.0 pro. So far, so good. I use Boris FX and simply moved the presets to the 9.0 folder. So far they do appear and the ones I’ve tried work the same as 8.0. Do you know what incompatibilities, if any, there might be and what/when Boris will do to address them/

Thanks,

jim

I don’t know what Boris’ plans are. I cannot get Boris RED to work in Vista 64 at all let alone Vegas Pro 9.0 and Boris said they don’t support Vista 64 so they have not been much help. I’m very disappointing with their support (or lack of it) 🙁

Hi John.

>>I don’t know what Boris’ plans are. I cannot get Boris RED to work in Vista 64 at all let alone Vegas Pro 9.0 and Boris said they don’t support Vista 64 so they have not been much help. I’m very disappointing with their support (or lack of it) 🙁

Is it fair to ask, is it a case of “They don’t want to, they’re not going to”? Or is it a case of “They just have not done it yet”?

Is it is not fair to ask, that is OK also. I also have Boris Red, and would love to have the use of it in Vista 64, but I have no idea what is involved in programming.

Thank you.

Hmmm, I really do hope the Borisfx team are working on
being 64bit ready and more…..disappointingbecause
even the plugins for vegas that are developed by small
teams are 64bit compatible and feature rich.
In these times, one can’t sit back and rest on their laurels.

I spoke to someone from Boris FX at NAB 2009 this year and I was told that their focus is now 64-bit so I know that they are working on it.

My problem with Boris RED in Vista 64 started right after I installed the Adobe CS4 Suite. I can’t say for sure that Adobe caused it, but before I installed Adobe CS4, Boris RED worked and after it didn’t. Coincidence? I don’t think so. With all the annoying activation in Adobe products I wasn’t about to uninstall just to find out but no one at Boris has been able to get RED to work on my system and I’m quite disappointed. I have to reboot to XP to use it which means I don’t use it as much anymore. I’m waiting for official Vista 64 support to really find out what’s wrong.

From the first day i started in this industry, BorisFX
has always been an issue for me to have it properly
integrated in my workflow and working seamlessly with
my other applications…….Until this day.

I will be glad if we can get some resolution on this, because Boris RED is such an excellent product. I am going to set up a laptop just so I can get it to work, but it will sure be great to be able to use it inside of Vista 64.

Thank you for your help.
