I'm subscribed to receive updates and got this in my email yesterday.
It says "Upgrade offer" in the email but people might still be able to take advantage of it regardless if they have Vegas Pro 14 or not. If anyone is going to buy it, please report back.

I took the plunge and went for it. I already have Vegas pro 13 since it first came out. Got the download and the serial numbers via email, but also the serial numbers for Pro Dad and Newbluefx title pro express 3, but didn'the receive the download links for them...😐

I'm going to put it through its paces tonight. I can't wait to see what improvements have been done under the bonnet as it were ☺

Does the Vegas Edit have dolby digital out for export? I still have to make DVDs but use a different authoring program. I never got into DVDA, but I would like to have the dolby digital out still.

I'm not sure why Magix is not sending out links to the bundled software. They certainly should be doing so.

I'm waiting for the Steam Version so I can just login to my Steam account that I already own and have frictionless reinstallation in case I switch computers or operating systems.

[Steven Davis]

I just got the link after I telephoned Magix, I'm wondering if there's any reason to wait. I have 13, it's currently stable, my fear is that if I installed 14, I'll have tons of odd 'Vegasodities' as we had with Sony doing the development.

Does anyone know what the situation is with selling on the old versions of Vegas. I have upgraded to each new version from v6 to v13 and have sold on each of my previous versions as per the rules Sony laid down. I assume the same rules apply...

Hi Renton,

There was considerable confusion about the licensing from Magix. To my understanding it is pretty much the same as Sony, but not exactly. After reading several other posts asking your same question I have not seen an adequate response with the definitive answer. I wouldn't assume. But I also don't know if anyone reporting actually contacted Magix with that inquiry. If you get an answer I hope you will post a follow up. I'm not purchasing from Magix for various reason and therefore will keep v13 and will not be selling it, at least not at this time, but would be curious to the answer.

[Renton Maclachlan]

Thanks George.

I haven't contacted Magix yet...though I did make an initial attempt to purchase 14.

However when I attempted to get my 'forgotten password' (if it exists...presuming a hangover from Sony), it said an email was being sent to me but none has arrived. So it appears that I need to have another go and sign up before the 27th, or some such...

From Magix people I've read, that the date of sept. 27 is not really fixed. Because of a delay in transition of customer data from Sony to Magix, there is some delay in the sending of update offers through e-mail.

[Mark Watson]

This v14 launch sure went from joy and jubilation to a train wreck in a hurry. I need a stable system more than any new features. Think I'll stick with v13 until they get it all sorted out. I doubt Vegas will ever be able to grade FS7 footage like a dedicated program, so maybe now's the time to get the full version of Resolve and start learning that.

[Jo Ouwejan]

You are absolutely right, Mark.
I will also stick to version 13.

[George Dean]

The Magix roll-out of v14 has become a very disappointing mess. It's their business now and they have the right to run it as they will and treat the loyal Vegas users as they like. I have the right not to participate and that is my decision. I will stick with v13 and slowly make the switch to Resolve as I learn it.

[Jack Zhang]

I'm still waiting for them to release it on Steam. But this thread is suggesting I wait for a bugfix before getting the latest version?

Good luck with resolve, every time I have tried to use it it has crashed. Vegas has been much more stable. I was lucky in buying another copy of VP13 for my son and got VP14 free (£149/$199). Not much has changed, boring black icons, no AC3Pro (unless you know the workround), I would have been disappointed if I had paid the current upgrade price.
