Solved Can MSP (Movie Studio Platinum) 12 do 4k?

Sony never replied.
Magix never replied.
NewblueFX did and said their plug-ins will work with Pro 13.

So I bought the $200 Pro 13 and it seems to work great. A very tiny difference (few %) between CPU-only and "use CUDA if available" when rendering.

Both programs still work separately afterwards.

The ex-Platinum 12 .vf file got opened fine by Pro 13 also, but Pro 13 saves them with a different filetype.

Overall I don't see why this program should be more complicated to use - for my simple stuff at least.

Many thanks all for your help

One day I want to try the "dynamic text within the frame" (e.g. altitude display on a flying movie) workflow. This can be done in many ways, using the SRT system. Even Handbrake can do the merging.

Unfortunately Pro 13 won't render. It either crashes, or gets stuck (currently at 26% on a 1hr video). Thankfully I have the MSP12 option... not good!

If you would like some help, please start a NEW thread in the Vegas Pro sub-forum and then provide details about what you are actually doing.

What type of video is in the project ?
What type of Video FX in the project ?
Which output template/format are you rendering with ?
Do you have GPU acceleration turned on/off ?

No one on this forum will be able to help, unless you provide as much info as possible.

Thanks.
