@kenneth-THORNTON Hi, at the top of the screen is Effects & Templates, in those tabs you'll find a list of effects, is there something special you were looking for?

Hi, yes on my old version I had loads of special effects but I can't find them on this version. There was old movie effect, seripa effect, Pencil drawing effect. Black and white effect etc..

@kenneth-THORNTON When you installed did you install the extra content? You can do that from the Help menu, tick all the boxes, it might take a while to install

HI

. . . . my old version I had loads of special effects but I can't find them on this version. . . . .

I suspect that this was Vegas Movie Studio (VMS) 17 or earlier - is this correct?

If so then what you have now is a different program based on Movie Edit Pro - rebranded to Magix Movie Studio (MMS) early this year - which replaced the loss of VMS, development of which was dropped by the Vegas Creative Software division about 2 years ago.

The mentioned effects are to be found in:

Old Movie, -

  • If you are wanting to have the Fuji, GAF and other films colour balance, and Sepia - Templates tab, Movie looks, Film looks Basic
  • Old movie scratches etc are under the Effects tab, Video effects, General options

Black & white - there are 3 options:

  • Templates tab, Movie looks, Film looks Basic
  • Templates tab, Movie looks, Monochrome
  • Effects tab, Video effects, Colour, Saturation control.

Pencil drawing - not available - you would require a 3rd party effects plugin for this.

@johnebaker I thought he was ref to these, B/W, Sepia & Old Movie.

But in MMS or Vegas the only Pencil drawing/sketch I have is either NewBlue or Boris, whether old VMS had Pencil drawing I dunno.
