Every VF2 file I have tried to open worked fine. I think I remember a post from Dr. Dropout that confirmed Vegas 4 was backward compatible with VF2. A friend of mine had me render some slide shows to DVD for him. I used is photos, music and VF file from a CD in V4. Worked perfectly.
Great! I am in the midle of a project and cant bear the thought of starting over if I buy Vegas.
BTW is it worth the upgrade? I have found VF2 to really turn out a great product. I dont know if this is a simple question, but other than overlaying video on top of each other (without one block out the others view) and more effects I really wonder how much a project hobbyist could use in a video?
Well, without having tried the demo I bought it. I have heard many good things about it and liked VF2 so much I figured it would be worth it. Looks like I'm in for a pound.
Well! If you liked VF2 - V4 is gonna blow you away! - There is just too much functionality within V4 that you will quickly - well sometimes - think "oooohh that was a wise buying decision!" - In for a pound? Nah - you're gonna get a "Ton" of stuff. I know the Penny 'n Pound thing is about thinking if money is spent wisely, I might as well go the whole hog - so to speak - Honest Q, you will get such a thrill from using V4 - your investment IMHO will be very quickly repayed.
Welcome aboard! - oh yes I started with VF2.0 - brilliant way for me to have gotten my NLE experience,
