Yes, 99% chance is that it will.

Hard to say. Historically you've only been able to move to the same version or newer. Vegas Pro 8 will open Vegas Movie Studio 8, 7, 6, and earlier files. I don't know if it will open version 9 files or not. There's a good chance that it won't. You may have to wait for Vegas Pro 9 to be able to open VMS 9 files.

However, i could be wrong since the Studio version always seems to be released many months before the Pro version. If a VMS9 user wants to email me a tiny .vf file i'll let you know if it opens in Pro 8 or not.

All the ones I tried, it opened them.

Nope. I get "An error occurred while loading the project file Taurahe.vf.
The file is an unsupported format."

I am sorry to hear that. At least for simpler projects it works. I just tried it. I created some VMSP9.0b projects and I opened them just fine on Vegas Pro 8.0c.

I'm running 8.0a, does this effect anything?

Yes, always upgrade.

I heard 8.0c was much more buggy.

Not to me.

What about the trusty Copy/Paste method where you select and copy the events in the timeline. I know it works between 2 open instances of Platinum. It might work between Platinum and Pro.

This was specifically mentioned in the release notes for Vegas Pro 8.0c:

"Added support for opening Vegas Movie Studio 9 projects. "

See the 15th bullet point in the release notes here:
