    Hi Austin

    This is my way of doing this. (I’m old school…) First off, I re-render my footage with a time code burned in and save it under a different name. Depending on your workflow, you may want to match the time code with your time stamp. I use this rendered file as if it were the original file and start working on my edit. When everything is done and am happy with the results, I change the rendered file location (I don’t delete it yet in case I have to make changes later) and when Vegas asks for the missing file, I just point to the original file.

    Cheers !

  • Hi Daryl

    Can you post a pic of your FX chain that contains all of your Saphire plugins ? Also, a pic of your time line and Mediainfo of your original video file(s)

    Cheers !

  • Hi Jeremy

    You stepped up ! I applaud your choice !

    Now, before you buy, go take a look at what comes with VEGAS 17.

    I would download the trial before buying, just to make sure it meets your needs. Be aware that Vegas Pro, Vegas Pro Edit and Vegas Pro Suite are not the same. With Vegas Pro Edit, you don’t get the Boris FX plugins.

    P.S.: Make sure you choose the right country on the Magix web site.

    We will be more than happy to help you out if you need us.

    Cheers mate !

  • Hi Jeremy

    That message will be there at first install.

    However, jugging by the screen shot you posted, it appears that you got your Sapphire plugin from a non-official download site based in New Zealand ( a quick search on Google of EZAM gave it away ) That’s the problem with those cracked downloads, it will create problems with your edits, and your computer, when you use non-legitimate software, not to mention the potential for getting viruses and other malware. It may be that you also got your VEGAS 14 from the same site. That doesn’t help either in having a stable editing environment.

    This is the preachy part. I know that for some, the cost of paying for software is out of reach. But someone had to create that software. There is a cost associated with that. I don’t think Boris FX, or others for that matter, would have spent all this time and money to create this software just to give it away for free. They have families to feed. End of the preachy part.

    Your only hope at this point is to try your luck by contacting the website were you originally got it from and ask for a workaround from him. He has a request tab.

    Mind you, you’ll get great and fast customer support when going thru the official supplier when you purchase from them.

    Sorry mate. You’re on your own on this one. Best of luck.

    Cheers !

  • Hi Jeremy

    For starters, what version of VEGAS are you using ? ( It was Sony VEGAS up to V13 and Magix VEGAS from V14 on.)

    Vegas Pro or Movie Edit ?

    How did you get your Saphire plugins. Did they come with a purchased download of VEGAS or did you get Saphire separately ? If you previously had an older version of the plugin, the newer version will overwrite the older one and you will no longer have access to the plugins from the previous version. Even the trial version will do that.

    Another thing that may not apply to you but to someone else reading this, If you chose to “show licensed plugins only” at install , only the plugins you have licensed will be shown in VEGAS.

    Cheers !

    Hi Char

    How did you go about finding your .BAK file ? Here’s a way to do it:

    https://vegaspro.helpmax.net/en/using-vegas-software/working-with-projects/automatic-project-saving/

    If you already did find your .BAK file and properly pointed Vegas towards it, then how about your media files. Were they on an external drive ? Has the drive letter changed ?

    Lets start with that.

    Cheers !

    Hi Claire

    Save yourself from early greying hair and see if you can have your contributors supply you with better material. It will make your task much easier and more enjoyable.

    For example, here’s a link you can send to the ones using a Samsung:

    https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/13-tips-for-recording-better-videos-your-galaxy-0195940/

    Youtube also has loads of tutorials for making better videos with cell phones.

    I’ve been shooting for more than 40 years and I’m still learning….

    Cheers !

    Hi Claire

    Each model have there own different settings options and menu. If you always have the same pool of video providers and you don’t mind wearing your ”educator” suit, get their model number and give them a crash course on how to set their phone so you can get a working format out of it. There is also the issue of vertical and horizontal framing. Depending on your end use you may want to standardize that also.

    Also bear in mind that most phones will output a variable frame rate file (not to be confused with variable bit rate). Some editing software wont respond well to that. You may have to drop the file in something like Handbrake before the edit process.

    Having a proper file to start with will save you tons of work in editing.

    Cheers !
