The latest update to video editing package Vegos Pro versio 17 is now available. Featuring 10 new features and 40+ bug fixes, the developers say this is one “monster of an update worth the wait”.
Build 321 as it is called, is available at https://rdir.magix.net/?page=1LGSASYSV1UH
New Features
- The Bézier tool’s motion tracking has been upgraded to track perspective change allowing for more effective planar tracking
- Navigation to exact timeline markers through typing the marker number on the keyboard number row now supports three-digit marker numbers
- An option for opening a media file in VEGAS Post has been added to the event hamburger button
- The VEGAS Screen Capture utility now provides the ability to save a capture project file which can then be imported into VEGAS Pro so that all captured media is imported onto the timeline on separate tracks and synchronized for instant editing
- An extension has been added to automatically adjust the length of an event after applying a playback rate change with the Slow Motion OFX plug-in
- The Warp Flow transition has been optimized to provide interesting results with a wider variation between the video clips involved and more gracefully defaults to a crossfade in extreme cases where warp flow calculations cannot be made
- The Video Stabilizer now automatically determines and uses the most suitable reference frame for freeze motion mode
- Uploading to social media sites process now uses the efficient rendering of the MAGIX AVC/AAC file type for faster rendering and uploading process
- The PiP Copy script now supports copying tracked perspective motion from the Bézier tracking information to the PinP plug-in
- Menu options for opening a file in FXhome HitFilm have been consolidated for more understandable presentation
- Several improvements and refinements have been made to the Smart Split feature including the addition of a preference that enables the user to change the default transition length
- VEGAS Pro now supports NVENC-based lossless encoding templates on qualifying Nvidia hardware
Bug Fixes

- Use GPU processing for ACES color management preference artifacts eliminated
- Color Grading Panel controls that could disappear under certain specific actions now properly remain
- Custom values entered for the Pixel Aspect Ratio media property media in the Media tab of the Media Properties dialog are no longer inadvertently erased and ignored
- Adjusting overlap time of the Warp Flow transition no longer causes the software to hang on playback
- Mouse clicks in the Project Media window list view now properly selects the clicked-upon media
- Smart Split procedure is now properly identified in the Undo drop-down list
- The Picture-in-picture script no longer produces an error if the user attempts to run it without first creating tracking information

- You can now undo adding the Color Grading Panel plug-in to an event
- Replacing a Main Timeline storyboard item that is a duplicate no longer removes all items that reference the same media
- Slow motion artifacts when processing with the CPU have been eliminated
- Warp Flow transition now properly stores the necessary tracking data
- It’s now possible to properly apply different edge filling across different events
- No longer crash upon attempting to load older, unsupported Boris Continuum plug-ins
- Creating a nested timeline no longer deletes markers or regions from the parent timeline
- Various translation problems have been fixed in different international versions
- Hover scrub no longer crashes or stops working after an undo/redo of a media replace or delete action
- A one-pixel “jump” between the stabilization freeze mode reference frame and the following frame has been eliminated
- Double-clicking a file in the Explorer now properly adds media to a selected unassociate storyboard
- Events are now placed in the proper order after adding duplicates to the Main Timeline storyboard
- The Picture in Picture plug-in now works properly during playback and render after copying motion tracking information to it
- No more green frames for 422 AVC MP4s during NVDEC hardware decoding
- Windowed HDR preview now properly updates during render
- ACES version and ACES color space properties changes no longer persist when user cancels changes in the Properties dialog box
- Image adjustments are now properly applied when Slow Motion is used as a video output effect
- A warning message is now properly presented when the user attempts to prerender a video without first choosing a render template
- Some render templates that showed the wrong vendor information have been corrected
- The X and Y Location sliders now properly adjust the location values when animating location settings for various plug-ins
- Several minor UI problems have been addressed
- The Color Grading panel is now properly disabled when more than one video event are selected
- Many corrections have been made to the application help
- Project Media context menu command Remove from Project now does what it’s supposed to do
- Color Grading mode parameters are properly read when reopening the project
- Audio/Video synchronization problems that could occur in HDR projects have been resolved
- Several Hi-DPI UI issues have been eliminated
- A problem that could cause a crash on playback or render in a project with Event Pan/Crop mask keyframes has been solved
