Hector, I was able to crab the window from the bottom now I can resize it anyway I want.

Sound is just as important if not more in my videos. I use envelopes on all my tracks.

I am still trying to figure out what Vegas 21 can do that my Vegas 18 can’t.

Hello,

Below is an update of my problem with the display of the audio effects, envelope line and zoom button. I fixed the problem but another problem came up, I don’t understand why but someone on this forum can. I sent a copy of this to Magix.

Hello,

After spending a lot of time I found out that if I uncheck the box in properties>Display> ( “use…

I downloaded the trial version of 21, everything looks the same, about the same number of effects as Vegas 18. Maybe I am missing something.

I had a few crashes and some problems rendering but Magix just had an upgrade that fixed the problems.

The display of some audio effects is smaller, the envelope lines are smaller even the + and minus of the…

Hi, I work with music Videos.

I just downloaded a trial of Vegas 21, I see the same amount of Audio and video effects.

Does anyone knows what difference I should look for that makes the end product look and sound better?

I just downloaded a Trial version of Vegas Pro 21.

I noticed some of the audio effects look much smaller, almost unreadable, I remember having the same problem a few years ago with my Vegas 18, someone on this forum resolved the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you Francois,

I spent all morning with on a chat with Boris effects. They say their effects can only be installed on one computer, even if Vegas pro can be installed on two.

As for the audio effects missing, I am trying a new route: I just downloaded a trial version for Presonus studio 6. Maybe working the sound on an audio program will…

Hi, after a big crash I had to reinstall Windows 10 and Vegas 18 pro. All my third party effects such as Boris and Ozone that came with are no where to be found. I download and installed a few times with the same results, can anyone help in finding them?

Thank you Edward, it worked, made the file longer to slow the tempo!

One note I like to share, when I tried to use lastigue timestretch to use the pitch shift function at the same time, it lost the synch. However, when I used a different pitch shift effect at same time it functioned great!

Lastique timestretch has a check box to keep the body of…

Thank you, I need to slow down the audio track for a slower tempo music, will this do that?

I’ll try later thank you

Than you John,

What I’ve been doing up to now is separate the video track from the audio, split it at many points and manually move it to more or less where it belongs.

It’s time consuming and never perfect but gives the singer the words in front of them.

There must be a better way!

Thank you

Hi everybody,

I am trying to work some audio karaoke files. Some of the music is a little to fast or to slow I change the speed of the audio using Aclatique timestrech on the audio track to speedup or slow down the music.

The problem is the words that are on the video track go out of synch. I tried with video and audio as a group or separate them…

Thank you Mike, I tried several chains. It’s salvageable on the close ups. I saved what I could, since it’s a music show I can make a CD out of it if I want.

This must happen a lot, I am surprised a company didn’t come up with a solution!

I will use this as a learning lesson.

I set the two camera myself, I tried the far camera on a closeup and from…

Thank you Steve and Stephen.

It’s 1-1/2 hr. video using coloring and other effects saved some of it, some close-up are salvageable, some fixes may look interesting!

Hi.

I took some video in a theatre, Somehow my camcorder changed the spot light setting, now the faces of the subjects on stage are white like a ghost.

Is there anyway to fix this or minimize the problem in post with Vegas Pro 18?

Thank you

Luigi

Michael,

I am happy it works for you. Both my PCs are gaming desktop.

After a big time crash with Vegas 19 Trial version, I went back to my Vegas Pro 18, it works fine but I had to reinstall everything and install again. If I was running a business this would drive me crazy. Probably the video would be made with hardware.

I am a musician and…

I am happy this is working for you Steve!

My Vegas 18 is very stable now, the problem is more than Vegas 18 or 19.

The problem is with the support!

If you try out a program and have problems, you fill out a ticket explaining the problem with screenshots etc. Support gives you an answer that has nothing to do with your problem. You answer another 4…

I also have been using Vegas for a long time, I have crashed a lot, the difference is when Sony supported the program I just picked up the phone and someone would help. These days there is long wait to get an answer if you get one you’re lucky!

I owned many versions of Vegas. When I “upgrade” to Vegas 18, it crashed a lot. With the help of…

Hello Bob,

This how it was fixed in my Vegas 18.

Try going into preferences/display and disabling High Dpi Scaling.

I just tried this to fix the same problem in my trial version of VEGAS 19, IT DIDN’T WORK! IT CRASHED THE PROGRAM A FEW TIMES. NOW THE PROGRAM IS VERY UNSTABLE, I CAN’T OPEN THE EFFECTS.

Hello Bob,

I have the same problem. I had the same problem also with Vegas Pro a while back. The problem was resolved by one of the members in this forum. The problem if I remember is in the properties setting of the program. I will search for and let you know

Thank you Richard,

What do you mean by filters? I am talking about VST audio effects.

I am trying to get some help from the VST effects manufacturers.

I just received an e-mail from Izotope, they say their effects may not be compatible with this version of Vegas, at least they answer promptly!

I think I will wait a little more, maybe Magix or someone…

Thank you Steve

After going back and forth for weeks they came up with this: see Magix response below.

It didn’t matter that I explained to them I was able to do it with Vegas 18 before. It didn’t matter if Vegas 16 is able to do it!

Now my Vegas 18 and 16 don’t refresh the VST audio effects anymore. I sent Magix a request for support a few weeks…

Thank you,

I downloaded and installed trial effects from other companies, the results are the same.

Maybe I’ll go back to my old Sonar and work the audio there, or work the audio in my old computer.

You don’t have any problems with the audio effects in your VST folder?

Thank you Richard,

I thought my brain was growing soft, I was trying for days!

I am a musician and work 6 and more audio tracks, the more effects I have at my disposal the better the outcome. Soundforge is not suitable for what I do.

I also use Vegas Pro 18, it worked fine, it worked fine for a while then I think after a major Vegas “upgrade” a few…

Hi,

Since my VST folders in Vegas Pro 14 are not refreshing, I am trying to find a way around it.

I noticed Soundforge VST folders work fine, I was trying to import my project from Vegas Pro and work the audio in it, but I am having more problems.

Can sound forge show 5-6 audio tracks all together on the screen and work them as you would in Vegas?

I usually use two-3 video tracks and about six audio tracks. The cam tracks get synced together with their own audio. I make copies of the audio tracks recorded on the audio recorder and sync them all together. The audio tracks from the audio recorder don’t have drop out or other problems, they become the tracks to sync to. Since I deal with…

Group all the tracks together then if you split one they all will be split.

I upgraded from Vegas 16 PRO to 18 PRO Suite, I am not happy with it.

Vegas 16 could upload video direct from the CD player installed on the computer. Vegas 18 can’t. Magix support simply say Vegas 18 doesn’t support it, without explaining why Vegas 16 can.

Now my izotope audio effects I had on my computer for a year disappeared, Vegas sees the…

This is weird, I am going back and forth with Magix for weeks with this problem. Now they tell me this operation is unsupported by Vegas Pro.

Hello,

My Vegas 18 is acting up again. After importing from DVD the image is elongated. It can be seen in the project video window and after on the timeline. I Rendered a small piece, the problem is there. Then import from DVD stopped working completely. I closed the computer and restarted, it started importing again but the distorted image…

Thank you Steve, I found it. I was looking at the red arrows on the right of it.

It’s nice to have a place where one can find real answers to a problem!

I updated my question about the black bars as well. It also was resolved.

Thank you to all who answered.

I think I resolved the problem, it makes a difference which player I use. When I use VLC it has bars on the side, if I use Movie it has no bars. All the player have an option to use full screen play.

Thank you again

This may be the problem, I start to notice every show has this problem. However, I also see after I render the show it has black bars on the sides.

I am a musician, somehow a few years ago I was asked to do a show for public access Local Television.

I guess I was expecting miracles. When I zoom in with a camera is to bring the image closer and make it clear. I was thinking using the zoom effect would have the same results.

The bar filler just fills them with colors in the scene, probably it would blend in more if the black bars didn’t have a very…
