I do not have HitFilm Ignite. But OFX (at least with the afordmentionned newblue stuff) does not work properly.

Even if it did not had the issues I mentionned, the way OFX is implemented in Vegas 14 is much more usable

For example OFX PIP with newblue in Vegas has the possibility to drag with your mouse the location of your PIP which is much more convenient than using X and Y sliders.

As I raised some of the OFX bugs on newblue itself, newblue commented that they were surprised their product (newblue elements pack, newblue stylisers pack) was working at all (albeit with issues as mentioned) on a NON suported NLE (which is stange, as OFX is just what it is, O stands for "Open", if the NLE supports OFX or claims it does, it should support it.  

On the plus side Magix pro X feels and works a bit more modern than Vegas, and has a less cluttered UI. 

They both have their pro's and cons.

I do agree that Magix should not let their "Pro X" version in the dark so long without updates for and for their reproducible bugs and features their consumer version MEP 2017 has before "X".  As they are both now under continuous update plan, well update the pro version first, we pay more for this version. I suspect more people purchase the consumer version so even with lower profit margins per unit, the volume make up for it so the consumer version will have priority in resource allocation I assume...

As I am flemisch (=dutch) speaking Belgian I sometimes roam the German forum as German is more or less understandable for me, and I see some rant there as well on lack of updates for bugs and features for the pro version, and slow response to their bug submitting - even in their native German language!      

Update yesterday I received a new patch 15.0.3.127 to try out which solves a.o. some of the issues I had:

see 3) and 4)

I started using the Project temp folder more and yesterday had several difficulties. First I import the files into various folders and then import the files onto the timeline from the Project folder, not from the Media pool.

Doing an insert at the playback marker from the Project temp folder placed the object at the end of the timeline. Yesterday. I also tried this on my laptop, no problem. Tried again this am, inserting places object at end of timeline. I was using the shortcut 2. Tried other insert modes, multitrack ripple and overwrite and they also place the object at the end of the track. The only ones that work properly are 1 (normal import to the end of the movie), and 4, exchange.

I tried to import more than one object at a time, and only one showed up on the timeline, but the red lights for all selected objects were on. I tried deleting them from the timeline and the lights stayed on. Even restarting did not get the lights to go off with nothing on the timeline.

Right click on one of these lit objects when it is no longer on the timeline and choosing "Select associated objects in movie" empties the timeline/project window and there is no timescale shown. Click on the bottom scroll bar and the timescale comes back. The movie is now 30 minutes long with nothing on the timeline. And there are a few more anomalies.

I will raise this with Magix, but would appreciate it if someone could confirm some of these problems.

I can confirm some of your observations. I assume when you talk about Project temp folder, you talk about "projectarchive" as it is called in Dutch. I have the Dutch language localisation version of magix pro X (and patched to 15.0.3.127 yesterday - a private download link from magix I got via a mail response to one of my tickets). Inserting does indeed place the objects on the end of the time line when using the projectarchive when using the various insert modes. 

Yes, that should be it. Just to confirm, here is the default screen setup with the Project Folder indicated in the red box.

Thanks for confirming the issues.

Have you had any more success with build 15.0.3.127? You are the only one to have it, I presume.

I was not the only one who had this patch, my norton says the new file was good, fewer than 5 users had this file :)

I am sure this patch is going to be distributed soon, it looked official with a list of solved issues and improvements.

Unfortunatly this list with fixes was only appearing during install of the patch, I cannot find it any more. 

The collages issue and turn and mirror of images which caused the HW acceleration to deactivate seems fixed in build 15.0.3.127

Your issue with the insert from the archive still persits.

As my issues with newblue plugins watermark, newblue PIP which black mask which covers the whole screen (effectively killing the whole purpose of PIP) and the 5.1 audio nested sequence issue.

Good to hear that at least some issues will have been fixed.

As I don't have any full-version NB plugins, I can't try them. I only have the ones that came with VPX and previous versions (even some with MEP) and they all work with no watermarks.

I have raised a ticket with Magix about the Project Temp Folder problems. It's not a big deal, but the multiple insert problem is annoying.

The newblue plugins which came with MEP and VPX always worked fine, without watermark.  They are not OFX but native adapted for Magix. (the same plugins exist in OFX variant). In fact I have some as such in 2 versions: e.g. "glow pro" I have from MEP or VPX and from the standalone package (thus OFX). Some OFX newblue plugins have the watermark issue (especially the NB stylizer package), some do not.

But to be honest I think that the newblue watermark issue for the OFX is a newblue licence APP manager issue which is probably not suporting (yet) Magix for OFX plugins.  I raised tickets also at newblue for it. So maybe magix is (maybe) not to blame alone for this one.  

I received the same patch and it seems to have resolved the HW Accel. problem, but not other problems. One down, more to go.

I get the (subjective) feeling mpx seems to crash more often with this new patch. I say subjective, as I cannot quantify it as I am using more often Vegas pro 14 currently (also now from Magix) due to all the issues with MPX which are a deal breaker for me. I am really pleased with Vegas 14, it handles the OFX newblue plugins I have perfectly (and more practically as it has some sort of " feehand mouse pointer x-y placement " control (Not sure how to describe/name it).

Did you get te update via the auto-update or via mail?

Magix has confirmed (finally) that the 5.1 sound in nested sequences is indeed not supported, and they are looking to add this as a new feature in the future. But when, is unknown.
