Same here, I responded to an email offer to "Upgrade", what a joke... Why would any company "upgrade" your existing product to a product that can't open your existing files?

Surely going from Vegas Pro to Movie Studio is a downgrade, not an upgrade.

But if one does upgrade from Movie Studio to Vegas Pro can the latter open MS's vf files?

Looks like it. Have never done it myself:

This text used to be in the old SCS KB, but was removed some time ago.

"Vegas Movie Studio project files (*.vf) will open in Vegas Pro if the (*.vf) file was created in a numerical version that is less than or equal to the numerical version of Vegas Pro."

To be on the safe side, save it in VPro with a new name.

I have not tested any of the MAGIX versions/builds to verify if it the advice is still valid.
 

Thanks, everyone.  Situation is we purchased a couple of copies of the lower cost Movie Studio 13 to supplement my copy of Sony Vegas Pro 11 so a colleague can assist with smaller video jobs of which we have a lot.  Never thought the two would be totally incompatible.  We have well documented story boards so my buddys will just have to re-create the products he has to maintain in 13 - royal pain but thank goodness we took the time to maintain well documented storyboards.  Appreciate the comments.

Can Movie Studio import and export an EDL text file? I expect not but might be worth a look under the File menu.
