Difficulty getting VirtualDub plugins

I'm trying in vain to install the VirtualDub plugins on this new PC in MEP 2016. Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong here please?

The package source was techspot.com: http://tinyurl.com/zb53nl2

As you see, I even tried duplicating the files in the 'default' folder, but still not a single one shows up.

I also deleted them and copied across those I was using in MEP 2104 on the XP PC, still no luck:

EDIT: Just found John EB's post here, advising that they must be 64-bit now. Will pursue that. (But I saw a recommendation on the VirtualDub site to use 32-bit.)

Well, still getting nowhere fast. That package is supposed to contain 64-bit as well as 32-bit.

Actually, the only one I really need is called LogoAway, filename logoaway.vdf. But with just that single file placed in any of the specified folders, it still doesn't show up. Presumably 32-bit.

Hi Terry

. . . . But I saw a recommendation on the VirtualDub site to use 32-bit. . . . .

If that is the recommendation I found - they are referring to using 32 bit VDub plugins with 64 bit VirtualDub.

64 bit VDub plugins are as rare as the Phoenix - searching suggests they exist however I have found none that work with MEP.

There is just one that I found, gradation_x64. Remeber thtat one, John? I think it was Walter that pointed out that there was a 64 bit version.

I have a recollection Walther did mention a plugin he had found however I can not find the post for that one.

However mentioning Walther did jog my memory and I did a quick search to find the post - nmw01223 has converted the logoaway plugin to 64 bit and has offered it if requested - see here.

Hi,

I vaguely recall Walter giving us a link but I can't find the thread. I did find this link. Probably not the same link, but I have gradation_64_v1.1.zip.

Here is a link to the manual.

Terry, et al.

Running VPX (8) I see all my VD plug-ins listed (not actually tested most of them yet) but I do also have "Veedub64" installed on this machine. I wonder whether this latter is the reason that I can access them and Terry, and apparently others, cannot?

EDIT: I have just randomly selected some of those plugs and attempted to use them; all give an error message that either they are not installed, they are, or they are the "wrong format! In "Veedub64" they do work, as might be expected I suppose.

That fits in with the post I found about using 64 bit plugins.

. . . . all give an error message that either they are not installed, they are, or they are the "wrong format! . . . .

In MEP 2015, 2016 and VPX I see the folder containing the plugins, however when I expand it, get message no plugins found / not detected. They work fine in MEP 2014 and earlier - as one would expect.

I also have this odd situation as shown in the image below:

the VirualDub folder highlighted ( 1) is not in any of the paths at (2)
the folder indicated at 2 does not exist

Whew, I found the message from Walter but it was a pm. He gave me the German link to the same page that I posted here for gradation_x64.vdl. It's redundant now, I think, for those who have VPX, but should be quite useful for MEP. The tutorial is quite useful.

Hi all,

I can only assume that the option (1) is being picked up from MEP 2014 where it does exist.

That would be a neat trick! I wish MEP 2016 would pick up all my effects, collages, templates, etc from 2014. I'm currently doing so manually as usual.

Thanks to John EB I posted in that old link http://www.magix.info/uk/logo-removal-plug-ins-does-mep-2016-support.forum.1168753.html but doubt if nmw01223 will see it, so on second thoughts I'll send him a PM. Anyone else tried his 'logoaway' replacement?

I won't be able to try any practical stuff, as confined to iPad and iPhone for couple of weeks.
