Hello,

I am a happy user of MVS 17 Platinum and just purchased the upgrade to V18.
But this new software has apparently very different approach than V17.

First of all, contrary to the previous upgrades, the V18 can not read the v17 project files (.vf).
This V18 project files are named .mvp and are not compatible!

Am I missing something?
How can I use my V17 projects in V18?

I am tacker of advice and hint for V17 to V18 process.

Many thanks.

oups!

I guess my answer is here: "READ FIRST: Movie Studio 18 vs. VEGAS Movie Studio"

And contrary to what they claim here the V18 can not properly import V17 files. In my very simple case it looses the text layer. I am pretty sure it would mess up any other more complex projects.

What a scam to offer this as an upgrade.

This is my last experience with them. Moving to other tool.
