More Plug ins for Vegas Video at DVinfo.net

Once again the same very generous software developer has added another plug in for Vegas and Premiere.
See link below. Very exciting to be a Vegas user at this time!

From announcement on the debugmode site:
PluginPac is a free suite of special effects video plug-ins for video editors/NLEs like Vegas Video, Adobe Premiere, Wax etc. Currently 3 plugins have been completed and made available for public download. These plugins are called 3D LE (Lite Edition) Shatter3D and PixelStretch are available only for Vegas Video (3.0c and above). A few other plugins are being developed and also being extended to support Adobe Premiere and Wax. These extensions and new plugins will be available in future releases.

Thanks, Rick.

I'm just slowly making a list and pricing computer parts for a Vegas setup. It'll take me a couple of months---in my spare time. I have one question for you, however, Vegas related.

How much does the Vegas 3 software bundle cost? (I haven't yet had the time to get the price.)

Thanks, again!

shopping around for vv3 can save you a lot of money. If you have a student ID, you can get vv3 for an incredibly cheap price of $159.00US. If you can't get a student discount, DVDirect has it for $350US. If you want a bundle with Sound Forge, Noise Reduction Plugin and Acid4 with 5.1 surround sound recording capability, the bundle will run you $1000US at Videoguys.

I think it would be wise to act soon, because the rumor is VV4 will be released early next year and the price will be much higher. People who are already SoFo customers have always been given huge price discounts on the purchase of upgraded software.

Hope this helps.

This company is selling it for 350.00 on-line.
Hard copy.

This software is the best deal going.
Don't let the price fool you.
It matches almost feature for feature to software for 600.00 to 2,000.00

Good luck with your new system.

Get a gig of DDR Ram, and the fastest CPU at the sweet point.
ie: P4-2.6 or 2.4 is at a good price right now.

Cheers,

The cheapest way to purchase Vegas (if you don't have a student ID) is directly from Sonic Foundry. Go to their website and purchase Video Factory for $70. Wait for the e-mail with the serial number and then purchase the *update* to Vegas for $200.

I'd like to note that 3d plugin pac works with earlier builds of Vegas than c. I have a or b, and it works fine. Don't know why anyone would want to know this, but it's out there now.

Edward Troxel · December 2nd, 2002, 02:30 PM

So, why not get the FREE upgrade to "c"? The lastest version has many bug fixes and works great.

BTW, you have to have either 3.0 or 3.0a since the file I sent you would not open and the file changes came with version b. Plus, version b was only available for about a day.

Josh Bass · December 2nd, 2002, 07:50 PM

I want C, but damnit, it's 30 megs and I got other stuff do besides sit and wait for a download. I'll get it tonight.

Do you know what the video capture update does?

Frank Granovski · December 2nd, 2002, 10:05 PM

Thanks, people. $350 US isn't bad. When I get my system together, I'll just try to get the latest version. Oh, and I'm no student, and I'm pushing 50. (Everything still works, though, well sort of.)

Rick O'Brien · December 2nd, 2002, 10:26 PM

"$350 US isn't bad."

You bet! Like I said, after you find out how powerful and user friendly this program is you will wonder why they don't charge more.

Cheers,

Bill Ravens · December 3rd, 2002, 07:50 AM

Don't worry...they're gonna charge a lot more for VV4

Rick O'Brien · December 3rd, 2002, 09:11 AM

As they should.

Unfortunately people predictably act with suspicion by price=quality
perceived value wins over true quality 9 out of 10 times.

Bill Ravens · December 3rd, 2002, 09:52 AM

Exactly!! I happened to mention at the VAST tour that I attended in Denver that I had hesitated to buy VV3 because I didn't think the price point reflected professional grade software. My comment received a note of frustration from DSE with the comment that "I've heard this more often than I can say". And, the subsequent statement that this would be "fixed" in version 4...there ya go!!

Joe Carney · December 3rd, 2002, 11:29 AM

Ya go ahead and blame the faceless in the crowd....hahahahaha
