15 vs. 16 menu display adding text, trans, etc.

15 menu is simple, VISUAL, easy to use. Drag and drop. 16 makes you add things, then select from a drop down. I can't stand this FYI. Really slows down the workflow. To the point I won't use or recommend 16. 15 was all neatly TABBED, click the tab, and SEE the text, transitions, etc. If there's anyway to change that, let me know, or I will just keep using 15.

One of the latest comments on the topic. You might read also this thread elsewhere.

Agreed but so far there has been no comment from the Magix developers. I was hoping the recent update would have put it back to how it used to be. Maybe the next update?

Actually the Magix Vegas team is aware and there has been a comment from the product owner. See "one of the latest comments" and the link "reconsidered", The 2nd paragraph there: "...your comment about the tree view actually is quite a useful comment, so thanks for that. It's important input, and I will definitely take it into consideration." Read also DoctorZen in the thread I linked above.

But as said, no change in Update 2. Note that Update 1 was in practice only the first public release.

Anyone know if any more thought has been given to this issue? Thanks

The info from the VEGAS team is that they have heard you and are considering options for improving this.

Curious if this had been changed in 17 or not.
