VEGAS Teams Up with Razer

Video creators looking to get a new Razor laptop may have a juicy incentive. The squad at VEGAS Creative is sweetening the pot with a FREE SIX MONTH subscription to VEGAS Post with the purchase of a qualifying Razer laptop if ordered by June 30, 2022.

Razer has been pretty popular in the gaming world for several years, which means that if you can do some extreme gaming on a device, there’s a likelihood that content creation can be quite snappy on the device. Usually, when you see a Razer laptop or desktop, it’s all RGB’d-up, but the internal components are usually those needed in handling high bandwidth video processing. All at a nice price.

The VEGAS Post package includes the following tools aimed to help out the content creators looking for a new rig:

VEGAS Pro 19 editing software

  • 100GB of cloud storage

  • VEGAS Effects software for high-end compositing

  • VEGAS Image software for RAW image compositing

  • VEGAS Stream for high-production-value live streaming

  • VEGAS Content: Unlimited access to royalty-free HD and 4K video and/or audio clip downloads

  • SOUND FORGE Audio Studio

  • BorisFX Primatte chroma keying software

I’ve been playing around with Vegas Pro for video editing for my show and also been playing with BorisFX. There’s even a free Particle Illusion application from Boris FX that’s free and absolutely AMAZING for creating custom particle effects on your video. At some point, I’ll share some tutorials with that software.

To get the deal, order your Razer machine and follow the instructions on the image below. More information on the promo can be found here

Sound Devices MixPre Firmware Update Available

If you’re using a MixPre audio recorder from Sound Devices, the company released an updated firmware today. Get firmware version 7.15 from the website here.

Update details

As mentioned on the site. The update addresses the following:

  • Last digit of the elapsed record time no longer displays incorrectly when the recording is longer than one hour.

  • Take numbers are now correctly reset to 001 if the take name is changed and the MixPre is power cycled before recording.

  • Loud pop in the headphone monitor no longer occurs when entering playback while monitoring an isolated channel.

  • Rare events where a channel suddenly experiences a brief crackle no longer occur.

I’ve not had any problems with the one I use for work. I love this dadgum thing. The dynamic range on it really helps getting audio dialed in for the show. Even though I’ve not had any issues, I’ll still update the firmware just to be safe.
