Hi John,

Thanks for the update. I did look at the Partner page at SCS as well, and the links no longer work. I hope Vasst can find an alternate distribution route since you have some amazing plug-ins for Vegas Pro.

Thanks again.

I Know this is an older thread, but I came across this statement you made:

“The first 4 TitleStrips are the same content as GraphPak 1 & 2 in Production Assistant 2 so from a content standpoint you already have these lower thirds.”

–
Since I use the Production Assistant for Vegas Pro, where does one buy more GrafPak’s to add to the Production Assistant program? I could not find any listing anymore on vasstsoftware.com or sundancemediagroup for the GrafPak’s.

Looking at the wayback machine, it appears there was a lot of GrafPak’s. GrafPak-3 Wedding, GrafPak-4 Worship, GrafPak-5 Holiday and 3 other libraries.

Is there a way of getting these to incorporate into PA?

Thanks.

I am wondering if anyone has used this Free plugin for Vegas that works under Vegas Pro 8 – 13?. It is called the Video4YouTube located here: https://vegasaur.com/Video4YouTube This is created by the author of the Vegasaur Toolkit Plugin program.

I have not used this myself, but since it is free, I wonder if this will help alleviate some issues users are experiencing. Plus, what is the worst? If this does not work you can always uninstall it.

Hopefully this works.

You could also try:

1: Contact MAGIX tech support and hopefully they will respond within the week that most users have indicating they take to respond.

2: Update your build of Windows 10 to 1607 or the new 1703 build. Since Windows 10 is a “Service” in my opinion Microsoft is basically breaking and fixing things all the time and users are left to figure out how to cope with the issues until the next great “Build” is released again.

Build 1511 was more stable for some programs, and 1607 seems to have broken things that worked fine under 1511. Windows 10 is now a take your chance situation.

I really wish that MAGIX kept all of the Knowledge base info from SCS so users could find answers to questions. A lot of info has been lost I think in this move.

3: Search to see if there is a manual process of importing your presets or go here: https://vegasaur.com/vegas-presets-manager to see if this program will fit your needs. (This is a paid for program)

Good Luck

Todd,

I noticed that as well and I tried to view them with either Windows 7 x86 and x64 system. I did find out a lot of the videos by Andrew Devis can be seen here: https://tale2tell.com/sony-vegas-pro/

Hope these are the ones you were looking for.

Good Luck.

Paul,

I just had a thought (It happens sometimes!), since Boris FX bought out GenArts, if you Cannot get a response back from GenArts, I would suggest you go to this website on Boris FX to open a case (what they call a ticket): https://borisfx.com/support/open-a-case/

Under Product, you may have to fudge a bit, at least to get the request sent out since it appears they do not list Particleillusion yet on that list.

Hopefully Boris FX can reset your activation back again. Hopefully GenArts only had a “Glitch” and did not get your original response…

Paul,

That Is strange since GenArts indicated users are supposed to use that Website. Can you go here to see what GenArts is seeing: https://www.genarts.com/sn-lookup.html and type in your serial number. It should show you what system GenArt thinks Particleillusion is connected to.

Here is what I show the process of getting Assistance.

1. Go to https://support.genarts.com/
2. Click the Submit Ticket button option that is listed above: https://support.genarts.com/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/2
3. After filling out all of the items in the questions
4. Fill out Captcha question
5. Click Submit

Then I would also suggest you send an email to genarts at support dot com to let them know you also sent them a request for assistance via their website. I really hope that Boris FX gets involved as well since it seems strange that Genarts is dropping the ball here.

Good Luck.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the update you posted! I really really hope that BorisFX WILL take ParticleIllusion back to greatness again. Yes, this does sound promising and I hope it comes true.

Thanks for letting us know.

Paul,

No Problem. You should not have to purchase another copy of pi3, but you WILL need to go to this site to create a ticket with GenArts. It appears they no longer prefer emails to support at genarts.com. The link to create a ticket, so they can reset your “count” is here: https://support.genarts.com/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/2

Hopefully they will get you up and running. I just wish they would release a self-activating feature already to us registered end-users. Alan no longer frequents these forums and it also appears that GenArts (now owned by BorisFX) do not either.

Good Luck.

Paul,

Wondertouch never released a true x64 bit version. The only version available now by GenArts (now BorisFX) is the x86 version 3.09 available here: https://www.genarts.com/support/downloads/particleillusion/standalone

You mentioned a permanent Serial Number. Does that still require activation? I have been asking GenArts for an update regarding if they will be releasing a patch or something for Valid end-users so an Activation is not needed and there have been no responses back from them still.

FYI: I have no issues using the v3.09 under Windows 7 x64 bit, just it would be nice if there was a True x64 so pi3 could use more RAM.

Good Luck
