Customer Service acknowledges the bugs I reported earlier and send me a link to "CustomTemplates.pdf" to help with importing the V8 Custom RenderTemplates. Here is my answer:
Why changing what worked for years? Any prior version was able to import the custom settings. No bugs. Who needs the new Format box, we were used to change the description manually. Now, if I follow your PDF instructions and copy the old templates to the new file location the result is even worse.
In case of our old "AllChurchTV" template when opened in V9 the "Notes" read: "480x360, 300 Kbps, 24FPS, 32 kbps, 44 kHz, stereo CBR" while the "Format" displays: "Audio: "[b]4.3 Gbps, 353 Hz, 44100 Bit, 0 Channel, 0x31960 Video: 1.500 fps[/b, Project, Frame Size Progressive, Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.000".
Go figure an Audio of "4.3Gbps" and "1.500 fps" out. On top of it, try changing the custom Bit rate on that template. All options are greyed out! Unusable!
Forget the CustomTemplates.pdf. Even that left the Sony office untested. The whole V9 version is a mess. How can somebody mess up a great program with functions that worked for years that much?
