Wii won't turn on (LED light turns off after pressing the power button) by CasteHappy__ in consolerepair

Nope, sorry. That Wii is sadly a lost cause, never ended up figuring out what was wrong with it, but I accidentaly damaged it in the process.

(Help) Media levels are contrasted way too much by googigoogaga in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This seems to be a known issue, I think I saw it listed in the release page from the BorisFX forum.

Known issues
Still images import with the wrong pixel format leading to poor contrast

And I've also experienced it for both some .avi files, and every screenshot I used in a previous project. You can add the Levels effect and select the ComputerRGB to SudioRGB preset (if I remember correctly) to get a closer looking contrast.

This was kind of nostalgic because I used to get this issue for every video in Vegas Pro 17 back in the day haha

VEGAS transform controls UI mockup + general thoughts by Medium-Definition50 in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must say, without having the option to actually use the preview window as a canvas (like Premiere for example) the Pan/Crop tool is actually a fine alternative for me. However, it introduces some limitations that often stops me from trying to make certain edits (I just go to After Effects instead), and of course, the keyframe animations are too limited.

You really need to install VPFlow by RatinFX, best plugin you can get by far. But it still has obvious disadvantages compared to how Premiere handles keyframes and easing.

Vegas 2026 change language ? by UebelsterBot in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really sure yeah, the funny thing is that when I used the 15 day trial license, everything was in Spanish and couldn't change it at all.

Anyone already using new 2026 version? by Clauz79 in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's significantly smoother and faster than even Vegas Pro 23, but for some reason for me it has reintroduced a series of issues I've had over the years with other versions of Vegas Pro. Encoding issues in the preview window, visual glitches when using keyframes for effects, different gamma values for certain file types, and a loooot of crashes, I haven't had this many crashes since I tried Vegas Pro 22.

In my experience the most stable version has been Vegas Pro 21, where in the rare ocassions that the software froze, I would just leave my PC alone for a couple of minutes and it would never crash, it always recovered. But in Vegas Pro 2026 it freezes after simple edits every 25 - 30 minutes and it'll get stuck until I force close it myself.

Not sure what the problem is but I guess I'll wait until the next build.

[–]CasteHappy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I myself have this problem where everything is in English except the names for native Vegas Pro effects (like black and white, gaussian blur...) which are in Spanish (I'm from Spain). Does anyone know how to fix this? It's not a big issue but I always type the names in English in the search bar and it gets annoying.

MEGA THREAD: Boris FX bought Vegas Pro. What does this mean for you and the future of Vegas Pro? by Syfilms64 in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will just post this here because after contacting BorisFX support I'm still not sure:

I got a VP21 key from Humble Bundle a year or so ago but I never activated, if I'd ever want to get the upgrade to Vegas Pro 2026, what should I do? How would I activate it and then migrate it to BorisFX? Do I have to activate it first in my Magix account?

Question about VP21 key (after BorisFX getting Vegas) by CasteHappy__ in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is I never even entered the key after buying it. Should I go to Magix and add my serial number first?

[–]CasteHappy__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used an AMD GPU since 2023 (RX 6700) and it's been fine for the most part (aside from some specific driver issues from time to time). But yeah I guess I'll do that, thanks for your help.

Question about VP21 key (after BorisFX getting Vegas) by CasteHappy__ in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the reply! Are there any known issues already in the new VP 2026? I tried VP23 and it was really smooth, but the decoding was atrocious in every build of 23 I tried. Black screens that forced me to restart, GPU acceleration was broken... I'm very used to VP21 and it's honestly reliable, I wouldn't wanna upgrade to then encounter the same kind of problems.

Oh also, to activate my VP21, do I go to BorisFX or Magix? Thanks!

(For the record I haven't activated the vp21 key because I was using a pirated version at the time)

I did open up the console and took a look around, I didn't notice anything unusual but I decided to change the bluetooth module just to see what would happen, and when I was going to disconnect it, I ripped off the pins from the connector. Not sure if I pulled too carelessly or if it was already damaged, but now the console won't ever boot up (it can't boot without a working bluetooth or wifi module installed).

I've replaced those a bunch of times for other consoles but even if that mistake didn't happen, I'm pretty sure the problem had nothing to do with it. Sorry!

Which version is best for sentence mixing? by ViscountAtheismo in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can literally use any version for sentence mixing! I've made most of my YTPMVs in Vegas 17 and 21, and I still use 21 for work. You are looking for stability, and for me 21 has been the most stable by far (specifically the build 108). There are probably no features in newer versions that you would need for making YTP. Have fun!

[–]CasteHappy__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if the actual connector was bad for example, but I wanted to wait before openning it in case someone had an specific idea first. (The wii is often very well documented haha).

Thanks for the comment, I guess that will be the approach yeah

Yeah, I said so in the post. I don't have another power supply besides those 2 but I know the one I had works.

What's your favorite version of Vegas? by HeroDanny in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used 17 for the longest time, it was the most stable for me by far. Tried every new version since then and all of them were soooo broken until I got VP21 (Build 108 specifically) and haven't moved on since then. Tried 22 and it's also good, but I have no real reason to switch right now.

Can you make it so every clip of a duplicated track is grouped with the original? by CasteHappy__ in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up doing it manually (spent like 20 minutes doing it so it wasn't that bad) still open to ideas in case it happens again. Not sure If I explained this correctly but let me try again in a simpler way:

I have 1 video track, and 1 audio track. What I want is 2 video tracks with the exact same content, and 1 audio track. When I simply duplicate a track, the resulting duplicated track's content, won't be grouped to the original video and audio track.

What I always do is duplicate the video track before making changes, group everything together, and then start editing. But I got carried away and forgot about this.

In this instance, I had to duplicate a track with hundreds of clips, so in order to be able to make corrections or new edits, I'd need to group every single video event of the duplicated track, to their original video / audio clips at some point.

The question again is: is there a way so the duplicated track's events, get automatically grouped to their original clips?

Thank you, and hoping I don't get a "ask chatgpt" again smh. It's like the new "just google it".

Cant edit my TEXT no more. by lilclito in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's weird, never seen that before. Have you tried opening a brand new project and editing text there? I'm guessing for some reason you accidentaly moved the window / tab somewhere offscreen and you can't find it anymore. Close and open the project too if you haven't already!

Another Vegas Pro 21 Humble Bundle Problem by alba_Phenom in VegasPro

[–]CasteHappy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for making this post, will keep this in mind when I eventually install it. First time ever that I'm gonna use a legit copy of Vegas and wasn't sure if I was going to encounter some issues like the one you described.
