I can understand not being able to OPEN a new project in the newer version in an older version of VEGAS but not the other way around! Well that might be true, but does that mean that all my previous purchases of VEGAS has to be kept on my computer just so I can use the EFFECTS that came with that version? Any new upgrades are not capable of recognizing the previous versions' FX and the only FX available to the NEW version are the one that came with THAT version? Seems a bit strange and redundant to keep so many previous versions especially if I want to edit a previous project in the newer version of VEGAS. If it does (most NBFX do), that's just a bonus, not a requirement. My understanding is that any plugin is made for that particular version of Vegas and not guaranteed to work with future versions.

file somewhere that can be changed or directed to the proper FX folders? Reinstalled the HitFilms plug-in software. still will not recognize previous plug-in even though it shows in those folders. copied all of the effects to BOTH folders so they were IDENTICAL. and both had DIFFERENT folders for effects. Went to C:/Program Files/VEGAS/Vegas Pro 15 and Vegas Pro 18 folders and looked at both folders named: OFX Video plugins. Tried your CTRL-SHIFT while starting Vegas 18.

This will reset Vegas back to factory settings too so any preference changes you have made will need to be made again. An easy way is to hold down CTRL-SHIFT while starting Vegas and then checking the "clear cache" box in the window that opens. If a plugin is properly installed and a version of Vegas is not seeing it, try clearing the cache in the version that does not see it. Generally speaking, OFX FX for Vegas are installed in c:Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins and all versions of Vegas automatically look there.
