I have not got

Any news on this? A discounted upgrade would be nice right now. In the past I have received the email with the discount the same day that the new version was released.

Don't hold your breath. Sony really doesn't care much about us or this board. Our fearless forum admin who never shows up, hasn't even put up a sticky letting us know that VMS 12 was out. They will get to their step children when they feel like it..... I hope. Cin

Cin,
the current sticky about VMS 11 updates actually links to you MS 12 downloads:)
I do agree with what you say though.

Belive me, if you had a competitors product (they are famous for high end programs for TV and Movies), you'd think Sony had tapped your phone. I mean updates that address issues, new versions that have real value (did not get an update in a year and a half, and then I left, still no update).

Users are the best source and while slow the free email support does eventually work and if you call and make yourself a pest that also works. Like no TrueBlue serial number on the download page for me.

But Vegas Movie Studio is the the best Prosumer product in the video production market. I'm just thankful that you more experienced users are willing to share your experience.

D7K,
+1 for all what you say too :)

I logged in to post the very same question as the OP. Got VMS10 and need the upgrade VMS12 to do any editing on the new MOV files that my Canon DSLR produces (VMS10 will not do it on my machine).

Come on SONY !

I purchased the Movie Studio Platinum 12/64 bit last night for $64.95.
Not sure if they will offer it cheaper but that is a okay price with me.

This was listed under the My Account / My software settings. They also listed 2 of the new $9.95 modules.

I also got the DVD A 5.0 ### which may have been a slight upgrade from what I had previous.

Thanks,
Bill

PS I opened a test project seems okay for now.

I just received the email with a nice discount and I placed the order.

Not that you have to write out the special discount but was it less than what I paid for?

Just curious,
Bill

I got the Upgrade email and purchased VMS12 Platinum for $48.71. The download was for Build #133 which I had already installed as a trial so I just pasted in the serial # in the confirmation email and my VMS12 registered A-OK.

I also downloaded the current version of DVDA but when I attempted to install it on top of my current version the installation failed. So I un-installed DVDA and ran the installer again; this time it worked fine.

I have not received the email yet ? In Oz.

The price sounds right for VMS Pl 12 !

I received the email earlier today, 2:41PM EDT.

The New Movie Studio Platinum and ACID Music Studio are here!

Upgrade prices (USD) for the download versions (packaged sets are about $4 more):

ACID Music Studio $26.21
Movie Studio Platinum 12 $48.71
Movie Studio Platinum 12 Suite $63.71
Imagination Studio 4 $89.96

Prices are valid August 14 to August 31.

Sadly my PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for the graphics card so I guess I'm stuck on v11.

I can't believe SCS hasn't released a new version of DVD Architect Studio. I guess they're too busy with Vegas Pro and VMS to work on DVDAS. Oh well.

NOTE: you do not have to wait for the eMail to receive the special upgrade price. If you qualify you will get the special price if you purchase while the offer is in effect.

MSmart,
Release Notes state
Supported NVIDIA or AMD/ATI GPU with 512 MB or more RAM (for GPU-accelerated AVC rendering and video processing)

There are many VPro 11 users with supported cards who need to turn GPU acc. off at the moment.
No XP support though according to the requirements.

Bill, if you email support and tell them you purchaced it t the full upgrade price they will refund you the difference. I did that with Acid Studio 9 and they had no problem with it.

I received the email with the special upgrade prices today. In early June I had upgraded VMS 9 to VMS 11. But, I will probably go ahead and get VMS 12 since I have a 64-bit Windows7 system. The NewBlue 3D titler that came bundled with VMS11 dies every time I try to use it.

Thye NB Titler is heavily dependent on GPU. Make sure that your GPU meets the specs and that the driver is up to date.

My ststem info is as follows.

Windows Version:7 64-bit
RAM:4 GBytes
Processor:AMD A6-3600, Quadcore, 2.1 GHz
Video Card:Radeon Graphics (built in)
Sound Card:Built into Motherboard
Video Capture:
CD Burner:
DVD Burner:HL-DT-ST DVDRAM DH70N SATA
Camera:Samsung SC-D365 Mini-DV Video Camcorder
Add. Comments:Gateway SX-2370 Desktop Computer Hannspree HF207 LCD Display with HDMI.

The Video card is an AMD Radeon HD6530D builtin adaptor so I don't really know about its horsepower to be able to guess if it is the problem.

MIke,

The GPU is likely your problem. NB recommends 512 MB GPU memory (that is in addition to your RAM). If you really like the NB titler EX, you can probably pick up a relatively inexpensive videocard that will slot into your system. If you would like to discuss your issue further, I would suggest starting a new thread.

@vkmast, I had a feeling it would still work, albeit not as well, without a supported card.

However, the bigger thing that limits me is that I'm still on XP.

For what I do, I'm sure I can skip 12 and may have a newer PC by the time 13 comes out next year.

For the longest time I had a problem with the NewBlue Titler, then I went to the help file, you drop it over the video (same track) and NOT on the title track (or at least in 12 you do), and it works:)
