Shortly after the Vegas Hub speech-to-text problems occurred last month, several colleagues told me about Auto Captions for VEGAS Pro. After using this add-on app for about a month, now, I have found it to be the best add-on in my toolbox for Vegas Pro!

Usually, I am here asking for advice or seeking resolutions to problems, but now I finally have…

To bring up this subject again, apparently Vegas Pro 23 does NOT use “eDefEnvVideoASRType” nor “eDefEnvAudioASRType” in it’s “Preferences>Internal ” settings. At least I can’t find it! So any ideas how to set new default crossfade settings types? I know that Edward Troxel posted a short video suggeting the use of a script, but is there an easier…

My needs are for “Speech-to-Text”. However, I just read that for the most part the Microsoft Azure outage problem was rectified within a day or so of its first occurrence and that Microsoft has halted any changes to that platform that would create additional/recurring problems. So is Magix STILL affected by this, causing terrible problems…

I found out the answer in an email reply by Magix Support just a few minutes ago:

““Thank you for your message.

​This is a known issue which will be resolved in a future application update. Thank you for reporting this issue.”

Furthermore, the Forum on https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/ has posts that drill down to the exact problem (I b…

While waiting for Magix tech support to contact me back, I wondered if recently anyone else has experienced Vegas Pro 23 Speech-to-Text Analysis fail. VP 22 Speech-to-Text Analysis worked fine at the end of September, but upon arriving home a few days ago and then upgrading to VP 23 (25% OFF), VP23 Speech-to-Text Analysis starts at 10.8%…

Just now booting up VP 22 Build 194, I was prompted to update NOTto Build 237 but RATHER to Build 239! Also updated to Deep Learning Models V22.1.0.0. I haven’t tested anything yet, but apparently Build 237 had some issues that caused Magix to cut to the chase immediately!

I purchased the update! Now working in VP 21 and looking forward to VP 22!! The AI voice-to-text editing is really cool! Still having ocassional hiccups with “An error occurred during while processing the undo buffer. You should save your work immediately using a new project filename and restart Vegas Pro. The reason for the error could not be…

Thanks SO MUCH, Hector, not only for the quick reply but also providing the answer for which I was hoping!!!

As stated a few months ago, my PC has major issues with VP 19 so I have reverted to a fully stable VP 18. I DO want to keep in the upgrade loop and want to know if anyone has heard about a VP 22 app, which if as Magix has done for a number of years would start distributing the upgrade next month. I also have found that I have the need for VST-3…

A REAL shame about the demise of Pluraleyes, although it does continue to work great in VP 18! Are you aware of any other such synchronization apps out there that compare??

Unfortunately, Vegas Pro IS NOT backwards compatible–so what I saved in VP 19 had to be cut and pasted into VP 18. I just have to be careful NOT to open VP 19 again!!

I’m NOT…

Not doing as much editing as I have in the past, the other day I loaded two clips into VP 19 to synchronize using Pluraleyes. Never had a problem with Pluraleyes in the past, and I do have all of the VP 19 updates that ever were released. After Pluraleyes was finished I went into multicamera switching mode in VP 19, and when done the audio and…

Thanks for the response, Hector. Before reading the Reddit blog to which you refer, I coincidentally did try importing my audio tracks directly from the VP 19 Pro timeline into Sound Forge Pro 14. I then was able to use VEA along with any other VST 3 plug-ins or any other Sound Forge tools to sweeten my audio and seemlessly import it back onto the…

I just now downloaded a trial version of Izotope VEA, an AI sound plugin. I do not see the effect listed with my other audio plugins nor does it show on the list of vst plugins in audio preferences. I did notice that it is a VST3 plugin, so I am wondering specifically if Vegas Pro 19 is not recognizing it and if I will have to update to Vegas Pro…

As a follow-up to my previous post where I discovered that a specific plug-in was causing havoc editing in Vegas Pro 19, I have made another important observation. I’m learning new things every day about Vegas Pro! So having resolved the issue, when I went to render a different project, the same sort of weird artifacts were appearing and the…

FINALLY, AN APPARENT RESOLUTION!!! WE HAVE BEEN BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE AND HAVE LED OURSELVES ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE!!!

For some reason, the New Blue Color Fixer Pro plugin has caused all of the anomalies that I reported experiencing when used in ANY version of Magix Vegas Pro in which I tried it (VP 18, VP 19 and VP 20). Having stumbled upon…

I have made no changes since my last successful editing session a few months ago. So before I do a full reset it was suggested that I manually delete all of the cached files, but I do not know where they reside for VP 18 and VP 19. Does anyone here know where I can find the cached files for both of these versions?

After getting back to editing a few days ago after a few months’ hiatus, I observed that in VP 19 Build 651 after working on the timeline for a few minutes the video begins to stutter, freeze, darken and then the screen starts showing the wrong clip. While continuing to play the clip it is evident that clip A should be playing but clip B is what I…

Has there been any more movement on resolving the Vegas Pro 19 “Image Sequence” Render Option Missing dilemma? I have that option in VP 18 but it is not in VP 19.

I have asked Magix Support a number of times to investigate just exactly what HandlePIChanges means.

Since I posted here last evening I have had the opportunity to revert to an earlier Vegas Pro 19 build. I found that not only Build 550 presents me with the HandlePIChanges requestor box anomaly, but Build 532 does so as well. Thankfully, when I reverted back to Build 458 everything now appears to work just fine (and I tested it for about a half…

Not having fired up Vegas Pro 19 for awhile, when I loaded it today I was greeted with a requestor box stating, “HandlePIChanges”. I am up-to-date with VP 19 Build 550 and loaded the latest NVIDIA drivers for my video card. This box keeps popping up and prevents me from doing anything until I clear it. As soon as I clear it, it pops up again ad…

With my current PC setup (Win 10 Pro), the only method of transcoding VHS-to-Digital Files I have is to record from VHS to a standalone recordable DVD deck and then rename the VOB files extension to MPG, which then can be placed on to my VP 19 timeline for editing.

I do NOT want to put a card into a PC expansion slot if I can help it, but rather…

Was this, by chance, a commercial Blu-ray? If so, my educated guess is that the blips are due to the copyright protection on the disk.

I FORGOT ONE VERY IMPORTANT ITEM:

I will be burning DVD+R DL discs (Dual-Layered–8.5GB capacity).

Sorry for the important omission!

2 Camera Bar Mitzvah Celebration. 2.5 hours final production edited in Vegas Pro 19. Rendered to MP4 and looks/sound great. Re-rendered with MainConcept MPEG-2 DVD Widescreen (720X480 ) Template at a setting of VBR Max 9,500,000; Avg 6,000,000 and Min 192,000, and authored in DVD Architect 6 for burning via IMGBurn.

When I upgraded from Vegas Pro 18 to V19, I also installed the free Boris FX package. Now working in Vegas Pro 19, I noticed that a number of Boris FX plug-ins were missing. Long story short–the new Boris Continuum (free) 2021 FX package overwrote the installed Continuum 2020 package. I reverted to the 2020 package and now all is well. So perhaps…

Based upon a number of credible recommendations, I made the plunge. For the most part I am satisfied. Would you be able to elaborate on the “serious issues and defects with the software” that you note, other than the cancellation privileges please?

I only have two “minor” issues thus far:

1) When selecting a clip, V18 and lower immediately highlight…

Thanks for jumping in so quickly, Steve, as you so often do. May I ask that you elaborate slightly about why V19 Pro is superior to V18 Pro? I just want to have an idea what improvements and additions have been made. Have you personally used it for awhile and does it work great for you?

I just read an article in PC Magazine stating that multicam either does not work or has major problems in Vegas Pro 19. Using Vegas Pro 18 and Pluraleyes, I receive excellent synching results! The author of this article was having problems MANUALLY synching. I want to stay current with this software and I have a powerful PC (hardly ever so much as… Read more

A number of years ago I purchased a bunch of extensions from VASST–work great! One such extension is EventTools, which offers a “Match Selected Events to Project Aspect”. What this does for 4X3 to 16X9 image conversion is to eliminate the letterboxing by zooming in to the frame and holding this framing consistently throughout the chosen video…

They show up in the Audio Event FX area, but when dragged on top of an audio clip only have a Bypass box at the bottom of the FX controls.

This latest modification completely resolves my initial inquiry–works great!

YOU’RE A GENIUS, ED!

You always have solved everything that I have thrown at you, dating back to the early days of Excalibur! Again, I cannot thank you enough!!

PERFECT, ED!! I cannot thank you enough! This script will make my editing that much faster, as I changed “White” to “Black” and a 1 sec black clip now pops into the top video track where the cursor lies. All that I have to do is drag it down to my track of choice and I’m good to go! Your programming abilities are a great skill that you have among…

OK, Ed, I tried (and FAILED)!! I looked at another script in Vegas Pro 18 and one from a third party and tried to make sense of an emulate what I thought was correct, but not knowing what I am doing and scouring the web for some tutorials, my script (entitled Black 1 Sec Video Clip.cs) looks like this:

using ScriptPortal.Vegas;

I’m not against that suggestion, Ed. Do you have a link for how to write such a script, or does one need special training in order to perform this? Do you know of anyone who may have written one or who may have a desire to do so?

I don’t know what the problem is, but I will tell you that having everything blurred out but one item does not show me where in the UI you are. Perhaps if you can go step-by-step exactly what you are doing with accompanying screenshots that show complete boxes I may be able to replicate what you are doing. Thanks in advance, Graham.

Thanks for the suggestions, Graham. HOWEVER, my VP 18 has different results!

My New still image length is set at 5 seconds (300 frames at 59.940 fps). Regardless what number I set this to, my Solid Color Images all remain at 10 seconds. However, if I bring in stills (such as photo jpegs) to the timeline, they default to…

With all due respect to your knowledge and advice, Ed, I followed this hint–HOWEVER, this takes just as many steps and effort as I now take by dragging down the 10 sec generated media clip and splitting or dragging the event on the timeline to my desired 1 second length.

Ended up purchasing the RTX 2060 SUPER.

I scoured Google but could not find an answer on how to create a custom length preset for a solid color in Media Generator.

Every time I attempt to create a new preset by changing the Duration (under settings for the clip) and giving it a new name before I…

May I ask specifically which graphics card you have?

Having tried two Asus TUF 1660 Super Graphics cards in my PC to hopefully make editing in Vegas Pro 18 tolerable, neither would boot the computer. The first one stalled at B2 in the boot sequence and the second one does not even put out a video signal. Both also killed all power to my keyboard! I cannot update the motherboard BIOS either, as it is… Read more

Is anyone using the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Overclocked 6GB Edition Graphics Card? If so, can you tell me how it works for you (especially in VP18) and how you have it tweaked and configured for an optimal editing experience? Magix recommended this card to me and I’d like to know how good it is in actual practice. Thanks in advance.

Per Magix’s instructions, I deleted an .ini file and reinstalled VP 17 Pro, and this eliminated the re-registration anomaly when loading.

With respect to VP 18 Pro and my particular hardware setup, Magix hinted that a 1660 card may help me. So I have had my eye on the ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 Super Overclocked 6GB Dual-fan EVO Edition VR Ready HDMI…

I STILL am having a number of issues with Vegas Pro 18, mainly that it is so SLOW!! I tested it against Vegas Pro 17, and it is significantly slower in just about every category.
