Can we install Boris Graffiti on VS2021 Ultimate??

[RobertOZ]

With Build 212, I tried installing Boris exactly as you have shown above and it would not install, well, the components did show in vft_plug but not in the library, however, with build 260 Boris has installed

Robert, did you manage to use BCC and Graffiti
Indecently I am still running the Trial version with a few extra issues.
At least I am not experiencing crashes except for the first launch after installation, then its pretty stable

[RobertOZ]

Graffiti appears to have installed correctly and initial use shows that it is working, whilst BCC now appears in the library, when you try to open, get BCC error,"Could not Load library"

[lata]

both working ok for me, strange.

[RobertOZ]

You refer to X10 as having BCC Presets 10, on the laptop I only have VS2018 and VS2021 installed, the Boris FX,Inc folder has BCC Presets 8, seems strange that X10 as Presets 10 yet VS2018 only has Presets 8, I would have thought though, that it would work on the same principle, you have X10 installed so VS2021 links to that, I have VS2018 installed so it should link to that

[lata]

I will install 2018 to see what I get.
But it was always slow to navigate the Instant Projects, very annoying so I don't usually have this installed

Post Updated
I have installed 2018, both Graffiti and BCC are available in 2021 having moved the files from VFT folder
No errors

I now see Graffiti as being the Trial version, showing a message across the top of all effects, after the effect has been applied.
Then again I am using the 2021 Trial version. Maybe that will change with the full version?

Post Updated
The BCCTitleStudio.vft files are different depending on X10at 47kb or 2018 at 81kb
Using the X 10 version does not show a trial version message.

I might note here that when I copied the BCC Title Studio vft from 2020 over to 2021, my VS preview screen shows a big X over it too, exactly the same as Choi Seong Chul's screenshot above. I don't have an earlier version with Graffiti so can't experiment to see if that one works, though I accept it does for you and Robert.

Whilst I have been unable to successfully launch BCC in VS2021 on the Win 10 laptop, it does launch on the Win 7 Desktop, which does have VSX10 installed, so I may try installing VSX10 on the laptop, just to see what happens

Edit
Spoke too soon, BCC now crashing VS2021 on desktop, so worked just once, so not game to try installing VSX10 on laptop now

Edit (Again) Win 7
Proves once again that we should not play around with VS, have now lost BCC from VSX10 & VS2018, tried reinstalling, goes through the motions, but does not show in the libraries, but is still available in VS2020

[Ken Berry]

Yes -- when I first transferred BCC Title Studio to 2021, it appeared to work. But the second time, which was after a computer reboot, the X appeared and has remained there. I'll delete it when we have finished here since it serves no other purpose, and I never used it anyway except to test it...

[Choi seong chul]

Thank you lata. Reinstall X10, as lata said. BCCTitle
Can also be used for VS2021. Thanks again.

Win 7 OS
Having lost BCC for VSX10, VS2018 & VS2020, have reinstalled BCC for each program
VSX10 most of the time will not launch, stuck on Splash Screen, when it does launch FX folder is empty, so rename 20.0 folder, during rebuilding library process, the rebuild stops with a BCC error
VS2018 Launches, BCC Title Studio Icon is black, but appears to be working
VS2020 Launches (most of the Time) BCC Title Studio Icon is correct and appears to be working
VS2021 BCC freezes program

[Ken Berry]

FWIW I just opened VS2021 after what must be at least 5 reboots of the computer since my earlier post above. And I still get the X over the preview screen when I apply BCC Title Studio... Just saying...

[lata]

Late yesterday I uninstalled the Trial version, that really messed up the Samples, deleting the Corel VideoStudio Content, not good at all
I had not noticed but it also deleted Graffiti from X10 although BCC Titler remains.

I installed the Release Version, I also Installed 2018 to test that, fortunately I now have a copy of Graffiti which i copied to X10, 2019, 2020, and 2021
All appear to be working correctly.

Crazy that we are seeing different things again, seems to go with the program

Ken do you have BCC working on any Video Studio program

[Ken Berry]

Yes, it works fine and without the X on VS 2020. That's where I copied the BCCTitleStudio.vft file from...

Thank you very much lata, your method of Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:00 am worked just fine for me.
VS 2021 - Win 10.

Best regards,
Anders (now happy again)
