Hi MrGrunthunter,

Thank You for the update. I had a few minutes to look at the 90 or so posts in the Vegas forums and see that others are also getting their emailed serial numbers.

Some are reporting installation errors, but it would appear the majority aren't having any problems with the installation. Some are reporting that the NewBlue add-on is crashing, but I understand NewBlue is addressing that issue with an update with the fix. Also, there are reports that AC3 audio (other than 'studio') has been removed from v14 and DVDA v7.

Looking forward to your opinion when you have had the time to install and explore.
Best Regards......George

That is the delivery of what was ordered. In his post George was wondering why this was not done more swiftly after the release.

Just for INFO; My PayPal receipt shows I purchased VEGAS Pro 13 on 31 Aug 2016 for $199.95 and I requested the CD, which I received and installed. It came with DVD Architect Pro 6.0 and iZotope Nectar Elements (whatever that is)

Hi Everybody,
Confirming that an e-mail indicating the serial # for the recently released V Pro Ver.14 plus third party software arrived from "Magix" in my mail box today (23rd Sept. 2016).
Note that my domicile is in Canada.
I have not attempted, nor will install the software until there is more clarification on what or what it will not do to my installation of V Pro Ver. 13.

I have followed closely how things have developed during release of the latest version - and will indicate that I consider the handling of the whole process very bizarre from a marketing point of view.

The differences between Ver. 13 and 14 do not surprise me - taking into account the status of version 13 after being held in limbo by Sony for relatively so long and the time that "Magix" had to bring some order to the software. I suspect in reality it will be Ver 15 (if it appears) that will define the future of "Vegas".

I do hope that a future regime of clarity and responsibility will be established - which IMHO has been publicly absent so far.

From a personal point of view - I have no complaint in the manner of how "Magix" has dealt with my purchase. I understand why many others are not of the same opinion with regards to how they have been treated (communication and apparent pricing).

There you have a resume of my situation, for what it is worth.
Many regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thank You for the report. I have Vegas Pro 13 installed and running and recently installed the trial version of Magix Vegas Pro 14 (same as the version you have received with the exception of it does not come with add-on's). As in the past with various Sony versions, there has been no conflict between the version 13 and the new version 14. Each runs fine and I have run them both at the same time without conflict.
Best Regards......George

Thanks for your resume Peter. It seems you are one of the luckier ones and I am glad you are satisfied.

For me, the loss of the ac3-Pro encoder is almost a deal-breaker in itself. I can't understand this decision considering the audio roots of Vegas. Maybe the financial dept. wasn't very forthcoming.

Hi George and vkmast,

Appreciate the replies.

One thing that I did not point out:
The e-mail correspondence that was sent was in the French language!
Not that I mind, being capable of dealing with that.

Still rattling around Pro and working out how it is allowing me to create annoying future questions :laugh:
The up and coming winter snows will result in that being a certainty - if the power holds out.

Evening Dr. Zen, George, vkmast, Peter, and our Great Community!

I also received my "Upgrade" Serial Numbers for Vegas Pro 14 today as well. Reading all the posts, and concerns, going to wait a bit before I install. Like George and the Doc, have installed different versions of the software on the same machine with "rarely" a problem, though have noticed that you should have the older versions installed first, prior to any newer ones. Especially with the problems centering around NewBlue products (my typical problems!). Will probably download the software over the weekend, and install later, as I am also waiting for the Version 1607 build for Windows 10 to "hit" that machine before I do anything. Really want to see if they have done anything with GPU acceleration or not, since I have a new project just waiting for this, and can also test some older ones.

Also checked out that post by Gary, and it seems like it doesn't matter what industry now, correct information to the "Consumer" is not getting there. Look at the debacle with the nVidia GTX 970, then the power draw issues with the new AMD RX480, the SLI crap from nVidia; sounds like the "Corporate World" is taking lessons from our "Less than Truthful" Politicians. Just blab out what you want, then expect everyone to believe you that you "mis-spoke" or were "taken out of context", blah, blah, blah...

Not sure how this will all turn out with the "New Vegas" regime, but I do know one thing for sure...definitely won't give in to the crappy "rental" of Adobe software, and if I must, will learn DaVinci Resolve, or pay for CyberLink video software (already suffered with Pinnacle - never again!).

Thanks for the update Chief. I have been reading many threads reporting little to no improvement in the GPU department, but I think there are some folks getting improvement in the preview department, but no so much in the render department. I to, went through many excruciating pains with Pinnacle and will never return to them.
Best Regards......George
