Hi, I want to test using Vegas 4, my favorite, and upgrade to Vegas 5, testing on the same PC.

Will there be any problems re registry settings etc, to run both versions on the same pc? I want to have my Vegas 4 available to use in case I don't like V5.

They both can be installed and run at the same time.

Heck, Ken...I've got Vegas 2,3,4, 5 all on the same computer (our Beta machine) and running a Beta besides that... That's one of the really sweet things about Vegas, is how self-contained it stays.

Great to hear it .. thanks much! I always like to have a plan b, eg V4, in case I run into problems using V5. I hope V5 lets you file/save as in a V4-readable .veg format.. like other programs do, like powerpoint etc..

Sometimes Video Capture works better using Vegas 3.0 so I keep all three versions of Vegas on my computer just in case I have a problem. Since all versions of Vegas have had various issues I would keep them all installed in case you wanted to start a project over using a different version unless you are dealing with some of the issues that have never been resolved in ANY version.

Speaking of longstanding, evasive bugs, I have a complicated, 15+ track project going in Vegas 4 right now and so far in a week working on it I haven't seen any phantom frame(s) but I'm knocking on wood.
