Just added a few new toolsets–the first, Zoom Tools, is a set of simple scripts enabling the user to quickly zoom in and zoom out of the timeline without use of the mouse wheel. Scripts include ZoomToProject which zooms out to the length of the entire project; ZoomToLoop which zooms into the selection loop; ZoomToEvents which zooms into selected…

For $30, you can’t go wrong. Just a few of added features are GPU supported renders using Nvenc, support for UHD displays, improved stabilization, native support for video formats not supported in V14, nice dark mode display, etc. I’d highly recommend it.

Plus an added advantage is that you can use the license to upgrade to later versions unlike…

Just added a new tool–AutoColorGrading. It consists of 4 scripts that are designed to quickly apply auto settings such as Color Levels or Color Balance to multiple timeline events. Since the Vegas scripting API does not provide access to the controls within the new Color Grading dialog, the approach taken is to have separate scripts for…

If it looks like the first screen grab, most likely it means that the edge of the event is not on a frame boundary. This can occur if Quantize to Frames is not selected. To show such unquantized frame boundaries at the end of an event, the internal preference “Show Unquantized event end” is set to True as shown in the 2nd screen grab.

Then select your 7 video tracks, go back to Tools|Multicamera and select “Create Multicamera Track”. A track will be created with a videowall containing your 7 tracks. That will…

Hi Bill,

Glad to be of help. No, I didn’t learn the Shift-Click on my own. It’s fairly common knowledge.

Hi Bill,

The problem you see is very common with later versions of Vegas (15-18). Starting in V15, Magix introduced a new decoder dll, named S04compoundplug.dll. The new decoder was designed to decode newer camera formats and is evolving to this day. The audio sync problem was very common, especially for certain camera footage including GoPro…

As Setiawan posted, Vegas does not support such custom render resolutions for delivery formats such as avc or hevc. You will need an add-on such as HappyOtterScripts or Voukoder. Either of those will render using the same dimensions as your project settings.

Just a reminder.

It all depends on when you obtained a trial license. If it was after the initial release back in May, your trial license has obviously expired. Like Vegas at the moment, once your trial has expired, you’re not eligible for another. However, send me a PM and I’ll see if we can work something out. A suggestion–create an account on the Magix…

“Does it support changing the font of multiple subtitles at once? Does it support background/opaque box transparency? And if it doesn’t support all that, can it import .ASS file (with multiple effects: custom font, opaque box and custom color) directly into Vegas”

No. It simply adds (burns in) your subtitles to the final render using the R…

Here’s an open source subtitle tool for converting srt to ass with additional Fx you describe. It was used for generation of subtitles shown in the above post. http://www.aegisub.org/

The latest build of HappyOtterScripts now supports hard-coding of both srt and ass subtitles in the RenderPlus tool. Information can be found here.

Here’s a screen grab of the dialog plus an example.

There is a new tool in HappyOtterScripts that does exactly this called SpeedRamp.

Here’s a link to the demo. https://tools4vegas.com/wp-content/uploads/SpeedRampDemo_TV.mp4

You can find more information about the HappyOtter toolset at https://tools4vegas.com/.

With the author’s permission, I have recompiled DaviTools VideoWall for use in Magix versions of Vegas Pro. This is a very useful dockable extension for easily designing and creating video walls that was originally written for use with earlier Sony versions. Here are a couple screen grabs of the UI.

I’ve added it to the Happy Otter Free Tools…

I think I see your problem. In your project settings, your field order is set to UpperFieldFirst which is interlaced. Since your footage is apparently cell phone video, it is progressive.

To correct, change field order to Progressive. Also click on your media file properties and make sure that the field order is also set to progressive.

You need to post a MediaInfo screengrab of the avi file you are trying to import. AVI is just a container. It all depends on the format of the videostream inside the container. Without seeing more information, no one can help.
