Greetings -

1) I have v4 installed and am wanting to trial v5. Will I run into any problems if I have both installed on same system?

2) If I create a veg in v5, will v4 be able to open it?

thanks

Yes you will be able to run both on the same PC

Vegas 5 will open V4 files.

Vegas 4 WILL NOT open V5 files.

Therefore if you think you might need to use V4 to run a file edited under V5, before you do anything in V5 you should save the file under a different name.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, thast last point was a bit convoluted!

Take 2:

If you open a V4 file in V5, and edit, it will no longer open in V4.

Therefore if you think you might need to open it again in V4, same the V5 file as a differnet name (effectively leaving the V4 untouched.

Thanks Andy - that makes sense.

I too have v4 and plan to install v5...just how do I accomplish that allowing both to run independently without conflict.

Vegas 5 automatically installs in a different folder than Vegas 4. You don't have to worry about them being independent - they simply will be.

Thanks for the info. One more ? My v4 did not have DVDA, when I install v5 (which has DVDA) will it install in the v5 folder as well?

I'm US Central time (about 10:17 p.m. right now)

DVDA2 will also install in it's own folder (which is also different than the folder used by DVDA1).
