GenArts,

Can you provide the name of this tool?

Thanks.

I hate to bring up an old post, but even today my Vegas Pro 9 under Windows 7 x64 still does occasionally this when trying to save to .avi format.

Was there a fix for this? Even if I replace .wdp with .avi it still saves the file as .wdp. The weird thing is, if I go to the folder where the file got saved I can manually rename the file from .wdp to .avi and it will play fine but still strange that Vegas is defaulting to this .wdp file name.

My issue is when I render a project using save as type Video for Windows avi.

I wonder what the fix is for this?

Thank you Mr. Rofrano. Very glad to hear you have provided updated Plug-Ins. Are some of the Plug-Ins like Mayhem still for sale on SCS or will they be migrating over to MAGIX’s website?

I am also curious to know if there is a “fan-less model” as well. I am in need of a new GPU and I wanted to know if there are fanless models like Peter Holt asked about.

Are there really any Fan-less models that are fast anymore?

Do not forget that Boris FX has now acquired GenArts so I’m not sure if and when anything will be updated. I really really hope they sell this program to someone who will continue to update this stand-alone product. It is very sad to see this excellent product slowly die

John,

I was looking and came across this file that Apple seems to have removed for Windows. I found it via the waybackmachine here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160118025707/https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2?locale=en_US

Would this work with Vegas users if they can find the installer? I found this reference from SCS: https://www.custcenter.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5032/~/does-vegas-pro-work-with-apple-prores-files%3F

I’m not sure if this would allow the ProRes 422 MOV files/

Hi László,

Yes I’m hoping so as well. At least I received this information from Emily at SCS.

“MAGIX Software acquired more products than just the primary product lines indicated in the press release (Vegas Pro, Movie Studio, Sound Forge, and ACID). If the product you’re looking to register was a Sony Creative Software product and is not part of the Catalyst software line, it was part of the sale to MAGIX Software, and they should be able to activate it once the transition from our systems to theirs has been completed.”

I will test again once the transition is complete.

Just an FYI. I was able to install and activate Vegas 4.0 and ACID 4.0 using the Internet, so It would seem MAGIX still does not have all of the items available yet to perform online activation of some of the older software. I am curious now about Cinescore and MoviEZ HD once the transition is completed.

Thanks,
-Francois

GenArts,

Are you going to release these so users can see what this was about? It appears this did not last long as these projects were not discussed much.

Today I was finally able to get my SIREN Jukebox 2.0c program registered. The MP3 Encoder I was having issues with and I received this message from Eric at MAGIX ” Keep in mind we have temporary access to SCS system for activating this product, so if we have to lose access after the transition we will not be able to provide activation codes for that software. ”

I was finally able to get my MP3 Encoder registered, but this brings up a serious issue for me. If MAGIX purchased the products from SCS, should MAGIX not continue to register software? I thought we were told in the transition details that we could still activate and user are older paid for software? When SONY purchased the Sonic Foundry desktop software back in 2003, SONY continued to activate and register older software on their systems.

I do not see why MAGIX cannot do this and WHY they only have temporary access to the SCS system? Should this system not have been transferred over to MAGIX? This will become a SERIOUS issue I think in the coming month whenever the transition is completed. I honestly thought the transition happened because SCS is getting rid of more and more of their access to certain URL for previous users of the software.

I am just Ranting now, but I am very concerned about my Paid-For-Software that I was told would be activated when needed. In my opinion, this is another reason NOT to have activation for software. If a server is gone, so is YOUR right to use the software.
