Can Movie Studio 14 projects be imported to Movie Studio 2022 Platinum

Emil-Polashek wrote on 1/15/2022, 6:51 PM

When I opened Movie Studio 14 today, I accepted the upgrade offer for Movie Studio 2022 Platinum. I expected that I could open my Movie Studio 14 .vf projects in the upgraded version, but Movie Studio 2022 does not recognize .vf projects. Is there a method to upgrade a .vf project for the new 2022 software?

Also, after installing Movie Studio 2022 Platinum, when I open my Movie Studio 14 project, an error message appears that "An error occurred when loading a plug-in or plug-ins. The Plug-in(s) specified are not installed on this system."
Plug-in: 'Sony Track Noise Gate' failed to load.  Please make sure the plug-in is properly installed.
Plug-in: 'Sony Track EQ' failed to load.  Please make sure the plug-in is properly installed.
Plug-in: 'Sony Track Compressor' failed to load.  Please make sure the plug-in is properly installed.
Plug-in: 'Sony Track Noise Gate' failed to load.  Please make sure the plug-in is properly installed.
Plug-in: 'Sony Track EQ' failed to load.  Please make sure the plug-in is properly installed.

Did installing Movie Studio 2022 Platinum and Music Maker 64 uninstall my Sony plug-ins?

Hi,

Movie Studio 2022 is not the same as Vegas Movie Studio. The Vegas team dropped development of Movie Studio to concentrate on Vegas Pro. Magix created a variant of Movie Edit Pro called Magix Movie Studio that could read .vf files, but only import the objects, no effects or plugins. Perhaps some day they will improve on this.

You are best to complete your projects in Vegas Movie Studio and start new projects in Magix Movie Studio. You will have a learning curve ahead of you.

Thank you for the answer to my first question. Given that they are different products, I am especially disappointed that installing Movie Studio 2022 seems to have deleted the Sony plug-ins for Vegas Movie Studio.

Hi,

It should not have deleted these plugins. They can only be used by Vegas Movie Studio, not by Magix Movie Studio. Magix MS has its own plugins and cleaning tools and you can add in 64 bit VST plugins and use them.

Are the Sony plugins 64 bit VST plugins that can be used in programs other than Vegas MS?

You're asking a detailed question for which I do not have the answer. I've regularly upgraded for many years, and am unfortunately rather confused by the proliferation of products that seem to be linked through a series of company sales.

Hi.

Do you still have VMS 14 on your system?

If not, did you remove it or did the upgrade process remove it?

Have you recently changed your operating system or re-installed it?

Ray.

VMS 14 is still installed on my system. I have not recently changed operating system or re-installed it.

And the plugins are not available in that version?

Installing Magix Movie Studio does not touch anything to do with Vegas Movie Studio or its plugins.

Did you open Movie Studio 14 and check if the plugins are still available?

@Emil-Polashek Your Sony plug-ins are probably internal plug-ins which in later versions of VMS were replaced by other versions, as shown below. Presumably MS 2022's conversion process only looks for the current versions?

Hi

. . . . Also, after installing Movie Studio 2022 Platinum, when I open my Movie Studio 14 project, an error message appears that "An error occurred when loading a plug-in or plug-ins. . . .

Can you clarify which program gave the error messages when you opened the project, ie Movie Studio 2022 or Movie Studio 14?
