About a year ago, when I was having ongoing crashes in VP 15, I followed the directions in one of Nick Hope's helpful post's and scrubbed all the Boris effects from Vegas and several folders scattered around my system. I'm on VP16 now, and it still has a bare-bones set of benign effects. Looking at VP17, I see Boris effects mentioned in promo pages here.
Is it safe to use these effects in VP17? How about 16? My transitions are looking like Dad's Oldsmobile right now, and I'm wondering if parting with another 250 bucks for 17 will get my videos somewhere near the current century.
