Fwrend Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Same ol', same ol' from Magix. Same prices you pay through most of the year but hey - it's a SALE!. Notice there is no Upgrade button for Vegas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 As usual with a Magix sale, not one penny off for Vegas. $199 for an upgrade, just like all the other days in the year. I'm on Vegas Pro 16. I don't a single new feature of any consequence since then to make me want to buy over those two years. It wouldn't surprise me if in 2021 and 2022 or 2023 they still won't have added a feature that makes me go "Wow! Have to have that!" When I bought Pro 16, it was because of "new features" I wanted and the plugins they threw in to sweeten the deal. But after I got it I found out that many of the "new features" were from previous versions. I like using Vegas, but it was a totally different product with Sony. I am honestly perplexed about what their strategy is with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Rosefelt Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 If you don't want to have a sale, then fine. Don't have a sale. But at least sell your product for $200 during the year and then knock off a buck for Black Friday. $199. Or $199 and one cent all year round and then $199 during BF. I can just see their board meetings. What should we add in our new Vegas upgrade? Oh I don't know, 5% of what other companies do in their free upgrades? Sounds good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Something new this time in the Acid Pro Suite is the Brainworx Plug-in Package including: bx_oberhausen bx_townhouse bx_rooMS bx_delay 2500, bx_clean sweep pro Personally, from that list I already have what I want, but it's a pretty solid set of plugins easily worth $75~$150+ (calculating sale prices between $30 and the rock-bottom $15 sale prices that you can get sometimes by combining a $40 sale voucher and a $25 monthly voucher, or similar combinations) Edited November 24, 2020 by Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillmy Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 That's why I bought Davinci Resolve instead. Pay a one time fee for the studio version of the product and get lifetime updates and upgrades for free! I bought it when it was version 16 and been getting free updates. Now with their HUGE version 17 upgrade, I'm getting that for FREE!!! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just wait for the official release which will be stable. Edited November 23, 2020 by Hillmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't make a single in Davinci Resolve due to constant crashes. Resolve is far more system dependent. It can be very stable, but you need the right hardware to support it properly (and OS as well). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antler Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just had a look - didn't realise it requires a dongle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free version (which is very full featured) doens't require anything. The paid version has more than one authorization system available from what I understand. I'd suggest a deeper dive to see if it really is a problem for you. Honestly most pros don't even need the "paid version" https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=90256 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system requirements for Davinci Resolve are greater than for Vegas: DaVinci Resolve Minimum System Requirements: Minimum: CPUIntel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 Recommended: Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 Minimum: RAM16GB Recommended: 32GB+ Minimum: GPU4GB VRAM Recommended: 8GB+ VRAM Minimum: Media StorageSSD or RAIDSSD, Recommended: Direct Attached RAID or NAS RAID (10GbE) Vegas requirements: Processor: 6th Generation Intel Core i5 (or AMD equivalent) or better. 2.5 Ghz and 4 Core minimum. For 4K, 7th Generation Intel Core i7 (or AMD equivalent) or better. 3.0 Ghz and 8 Core minimum. RAM: 8 GB RAM minimum (16 GB recommended; 32 GB recommended for 4K) Hard drive space: Hard drive space: 1.5 GB hard-disk space for program installation; Solid-state disk (SSD) or high-speed multi-disk RAID for 4K media Especially in relation to GPU or graphic card RAM, Vegas will run with any card and you can (and usually should) disable GPU acceleration as the first thing to try if you are getting crashes in Vegas. Davinci won't go anywhere unless you have a decent graphics card with a slab of VRAM. Smooth performance depends also of course on the material you are editing and the codec you are editing in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBH Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I've been waiting 6 years for them to add content to Independence Pro. Any day now ..... Super deals have been offered on Samplitude upgrades. except - it ain't as good as CbB as far as I'm concerned. So it sits waiting for the occasional archived tune to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using an activation card which is really just a serial number you get sent in the mail. Also can be used for 2 PCs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
