[Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 Authentication Code
Saija Grzegorek
I am really having a difficult time getting through to somebody to obtain the authetication code for my Sony Vegas Pro 13. I am just trying to move it to another computer, but before I removed it from the old one I need to verify the output favorites. There doesn't seem to be any easy way to transfer the output favorites unfortunately. I have all of my license information, etc, but it will not allow me to finalize the install on my new computer.
All of the "forms" i have filled out on support keep redriecting me to MAGIX, but the pages fail to load as if their systems don't work or something. The forms on SCS keep rerouting me to MAGIX. Who do i contact to obtain the authentication code? Thanks
You can install SVP 13 on the other computer without deinstalling it on the old one.
But copy and paste it on an other computer doesn't work, you need to install it.
If you have the serialnumber the additional installation and registration should be no problem.
i think john-brown is correct. the website seems to be back up. I was finally able to get to the page to generate an activation code- HOWEVER- it doesn't seem to accept the computer ID that I am putting in. I have tried entering both the old computer ID and the new computer id. How do i get this to generate an activation code?
As the annual Consumer Electronics Show opens in Las Vegas, we explore the new gadgets and gizmos that 2014 will bring. Will this be the year ultra-high-def, 4K resolution TV goes mainstream? Will you buy a smart watch to manage your texts and emails and leave your phone in your pocket? Will passwords finally become obsolete, thanks to new online security measures? The Computer Guys and Gal examine tech innovations and answer your questions.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIYou know what that music means. It means that from WAMU 88.5 at American University in Washington, welcome to "The Kojo Nnamdi Show," connecting your neighborhood with the world and The Computer Guys and Gal. That's what that music means. They are here. Bill Harlow, Hardware and Software Technician for MACs and PCs at Mid-Atlantic Consulting, Inc. This is 2014. This gamer has some new moves which he will probably display today. Happy New Year.
NNAMDIAllison Druin, Chief Futurist at the University of Maryland, Division of Research, is joining us today from the National Park Services Stephen T. Mather Training Center in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. What the heck she's doing there, we don't know.
MS. ALLISON DRUINActually, a bunch of us are thinking about the future, John. I know you're missing it all, but we're actually thinking about the future of technology and the National Park Service. So, and they were kind enough to say, sure, everyone eat while Allison works. And so, I'm on a lunch break right now, which I'm excited about.
DRUINThis, actually, this training center's really interesting. It was named after the first, actually, the first director of the National Park Service. But it actually is on the grounds of the former Storer College. And it is, was one of the first educational institutions to offer education to free African American Civil War -- to freed African Americans after the Civil War. And it's a wonderful center where there is a design center today where people think about learning and training for the National Park Service when you're either a interpreter in a National Park or whatever.
NNAMDIThe annual Consumer Electronics Show opened last night in Las Vegas. It runs through Friday. This is where companies, large and small, tried out their new gadgets and gizmos, tried to generate some buzz for their products. One of the technologies getting a lot of attention this year is ultra high definition television sets, what are known as 4K displays is what they have on them. Are you ready for a quantum leap in television technology, one that would give you a picture resolution twice as good as what you've got now?
NNAMDIGive us a call. 800-433-8850, or send email to ko...@wamu.org. You can send us a tweet at kojoshow or paste a comment -- post a comment on our Facebook page. You can also go to our website, kojoshow.org, and make a comment there. Let's start with Bill with the television upgrades. The headline grabber. 4K TV. How does this ultra high definition display work, and how will it improve my viewing experience?
HARLOWWell, if you have a really big TV, or you have a smaller TV and want to sit with your nose pressed right up against the glass, 4K resolution can be quite nice. I think right now, all the people I know who have a TV that haven't spent crazy amounts of money, have one that's reasonably sized and sit a reasonable distance away. So, I think the short answer is, while it is a high resolution TV, and I think more pixels are going to happen. It's just the nature of technology. For most people, it won't be a huge benefit. They'll probably be really nice TVs. But your current 1080p TV, which is basically 2K, I mean, I just bought a new TV for the basement, and it is 1080p. It's not 4K, which means it's affordable, and for my viewing distance, it's gonna be just fine.
HARLOWSo, I think resolution is just one metric to define a TV, and while it's a nice selling point, and a lot of content will eventually probably be in that resolution, if you're buying a TV today, it doesn't really matter.
GILROYYeah, no one's buying it, and so if you look at just the sales, you know, in 2012, about 84 million TVs were sold. 2014, they're predicting 123 million sold, so I think what people are saying is, well, we got a smart phone, and Kojo's saying, well, maybe put this in the TV, make a smart TV. Maybe this is the transition, and CES is talking about it.
DRUINYou boys. Anyway, but you know, I have to ask myself, unless there's text on that TV, you're not necessarily gonna need, you know, as much resolution as 4D is gonna give you. But as more and more of our content shifts into one place or multiple places that we wanna see the same content, text is going to be an important issue on those TVs. And so I think maybe not now, but in the next few years, yes, having higher definition and higher resolution is going to be an important thing.
NNAMDIBill, the company LG has unveiled a TV that's connected to the internet and runs on an operating system that got its start in the Palm Pilot many years ago. I love my old Palm. It's called Web OS. What will it do and why do I want my TV connected to the internet?
HARLOWSo the other thing that I think more people probably do use on their shiny new TVs is the apps. So, these smart TVs have all these apps. The big ones are things like Amazon Instant Video, Hulu, Netflix. But the interface can be pretty hit or miss. Some of them are really bad. On some TVs, there's a delay when you're working with it. So the idea behind this is let's take a proven, fairly lightweight OS, and build it into our TV so you have something that's pretty easy to use, Pretty slick, nice looking and I think it's a good differentiator.
GILROYYou know, this reminds me of, you know, because I'm an old geezer, I remember something called a salesman sample. And so, Kojo Nnamdi would knock on your door and say, hey, buy one of these. And it's a salesman. Never looked like the real thing. And that's what I think this technology is. It's a salesman sample. Or it's an island, because, you know, you just can't go out and dial up Cox Communications and say, hey, let's plug in my fancy pants TV now. Because the bandwidth can't handle it.
NNAMDIPalm's Mobile Operating System has been resurrected as a TV interface that focuses on ease of use. We got a call from Kathy who could not stay on the line, who asked for a visually impaired person, will a 4K TV make viewing different? What do you think, Bill?
HARLOWI don't think so. Really. I mean, I guess it depends on what the impairment is, but it's, what you're getting is tinier, sharper pixels, and I think, if you're visually impaired, my guess is that really won't offer any benefit. What may offer benefit is if you can make the TV really bright and offer a greater dynamic range. Or, with those pixels, you're able to blow something up and still have it retain some quality.
NNAMDIIt's the Computer Guys and Gal. And another hot topic of the Consumer Electronics Show is wearable technologies. Maybe you already have a Pebble Smart Watch or a Fitbit Fitness Tracker or you're waiting for Google Glass to be available to the general public. If you are an early adopter of a smart watch, how do you use it? You don't have one yet? Are you looking? What are you hoping to see in wearable devices in the coming year? Call us. 800-433-8850 or send email to ko...@wamu.org. Allison, care to explain how smart watches work? How would a smart watch talk to my smart phone and how would it make me smarter?
DRUINAt the Consumer Electronics Show, they're actually having something called Wrist Revolution Tech Zone. And what they're doing is they're showing, actually, they're highlighting a whole variety of smart watches and these smart watches, you know, have some simple features, like, you can change the watch faces. You can answer phone calls. You can get internet connectivity and share information from your either cell phone or laptop. There are app based programs that give you the ability to use this as a GPS, as a music player, a heart rate monitor, just in case, you know, you're gonna pass out sitting next to John. It's amazing.
DRUINIt is called Pebble Steel. And it really is so cool looking. It's very future. But, so you're gonna see things from Sony, from Qualcomm, from the original Pebble folks. Apple is gonna be jumping in here. People are just waiting for what that design's gonna be. They're not gonna be at the Wrist Revolution Tech Zone. But this is -- people are betting that this is the next area for the next tech explosion.
GILROYAnd I think, Allison, what people are doing is just saying, well, I'm doing all this stuff with my smart phone. What can this wrist device do that my smart phone can't? And I think what people are saying is, you hit on it, with health applications. And Fitbit. And saying, well, you're smart phone really can't measure your heart beat. And maybe this is an application for that, and there's everything from Google Glass to the smart phone. All kinds of different things. And I think this is the point is that what can it do beyond what my phone's doing now, and we don't really know.
