Dear Topaz team, since I upgrated to Topaz Video Studio, a massive problem occures each time I run an update of Topaz Video: After finishing the update, my main video software Magix Video Pro X17 can’t be startet. Instead, a window opens which says: “A part of the program can’t be found. Reinstall Magix Video Pro X17.” I seems, Topaz kills this part of the program. But there is no detailes information which part it might be. Reinstalling needs very much time, cause I have to delete several directorys and files manually after the normal deinstallation.
Are you having the OFX and After Effects plug-ins from Topaz Video install as part of the update? If so, try disabling those when running an installation or update, especially if you are not using them for your workflow.
We have seen situations where the OFX plug-in for Topaz Video causes errors in other apps that also use these types of plug-ins loaded in from a general folder. The team is working on finding a way to keep them supported and prevent them from interfering with other apps that can not use it.
If that does not resolve the issue, please pull the logs and system profile report to send to the support team at help@topazlabs.com for further investigation.

Good morning Kyle,
thank you for your fast response. Until now, I never noticed a opportunity to disable OFX and AE plugins during updating Topaz Video. I don’t use both in my workflow cause I only use Magix for cutting videos. Next time I run an update I will consider your advice and will report what will happened.
Best regards, Michael Buchholz

Betreff [Topaz Community] [Topaz Video/Bugs and Issues] Conflict between Topaz Video Studio and Magix Pro X17
More than welcome, Michael. Let me know if that does not work either here on the forum or send an email in and we can keep investigating and make the devs aware as well.
Good morning Kyle, thank yo for your advice to deactivate OFX during updating Topax Video Studio. I tried it two times and Magix Pro X17 works normally. As a fast workaround I recommend an detailed information or note, which third partie products might have problems with OFX. Have a nice day, Michael
Hey I’m Magix X17 user too and had exactly same problem. Also affects older Magix versions; X16,X15,X14 (all tested) 
go to:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins
and delete folder
Topaz Video.ofx.bundle
or if you could not delete the folder because it is in use, go to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX
and rename folder “Plugins” to “Plugins_old”
Magix Video has no own plugin folder anymore and looks into “C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins”, magix found there topaz files, loads them and crashes
Hello Mayday, thanks for your additional advice. Perhaps it might be useless to inform Magix support about it, but I think I’ll do it anyway. In contrast to the support of Topaz, Magix seems to be indifferent to concerns of their users.
Hi Michael, yes maybe or they suprise us with a fix. Magix should handle that and not just crash when it can’t load third-party plugins, so beacuse it seem’s a general Magix weakness they do something. On the other hand, Magix is pushing its Sony Vegas projects, and it could be that Magix Video is slowly dying out, but we don’t know.
