Use it. Love it. Easy to use.

Pros

* Dirt cheap! Just the price makes it a no-brainer - honest.

* The actual Dynamics, IMO, of the MBLs treatments are gorgeous.

* If you have a client over your shoulder, then applying a Look to their footage is very impressive. The actual process is impressive.

* Phenomenal user interface that places you at the centre of using the various tools - amazing! I learnt heaps about my camera and matte box from experimenting.

* Video "Look" Still Management. You get to save a "Look" and use it elsewhere - of course you'd expect that but you ALSO get to see what a new event looks looks like through a Preview setup that organises ALL your homegrown looks too! Something I would have liked to have had in Vegas.

* Now, this is a very big plus: You get to see the Look "Tool Chain" and just HOW it is working! You have to see this in practice to appreciate the value of this. This is another thing Vegas doesn't have. To be fair to Vegas, the FXs are regarded in this "virtual-kit" approach as MBLs has now adopted. OK, in Vegas you can apply lighting intensity and direction and so on. But you DON'T see this in the preset structure. All I have is a name: Grazie's CopShow4b. Now what on earth was THAT?? I don't remember? I have to apply it to an event to see the parameters and check the effect. In MBLs you don't. Here you get to see what it would look like ON the new event AND the Tool chain that created it!! Now THAT is clever understanding by RedG of WHAT we as videographers want to see in colour grading and post and assist us to use AND review/audition and re-use previous hard-won Looks/Presets. Yeah?

Cons -

* It isn't realtime while in MBLs. You have to exit BACK to Vegas. So if you are expecting to SEE the colour dynamic working OVER time on all your content, WHILE you are adjusting, you can't. I guess for most this isn't an issue. But you need to know this - yeah?

* Render time is going to be more than you/I experience/know from the Vegas Fxs.

Overall, yes you CAN make much of what you can already do WITHIN Vegas. But not so simply and not with so much organised tool naming and application: You get to SEE a matte box and slot filters into it!; You get to angle Filters!; You get to SEE the camera body or lens and apply lighting and stops to it!

I have been using it for a month now. And yes it is loadsa FUN to use too!
