Updating an Effect with a Newer Version

Unlike Media Inputs, which Vlog It! updates each time a show is published, effects never get automatically updated once you’ve added them to a project. Normally this will not be an issue. After all, you cannot edit an effect outside of Vlog It!

We, however, can. So when you install a newer version of the program or upgrade from the free trial version, you may find that we refined some effects or added advanced settings. To prevent such changes from causing unexpected modifications to shows created with earlier versions, Vlog It! does not automatically update effects.

To replace an effect from an older show with a new and improved version, you must swap it in just as you would if you were switching to a different effect altogether, namely by dragging and dropping it from the Effects Library to each Action Tray where the old effect is used. If the effect is a standard transition that you had converted to a non-transition effect by setting a pause time, then you will have to enter that value again because swapping such effects resets the pause time to zero.
