I'm impressed with the new V9, it looks and feels like an enhanced NLE, especially:
a) the preview window now doesn't "jump" when you resize it, it's smooth -- this is a big plus, and all lower/standard res clips seem to preview *Much* smoother than V8 and earlier .. a huge quantum leap for me, in my workflow... no more stuttery clip prevews in the preview window... at least with 720x480 and below size (haven't tested yet w/HD/AVCHD). This alone made the upgrade well worth it.
b) gui much improved - now it looks like my adobe apps, lol - but that's a good thing, I like to see the consistency and it's a lot sharper, more professional looking
other features, many minor ones still exploring here... this is a much better upgrade than the ones from V4-V8, all of which were fairly minor... now *this* is an upgrade.
Thanks, Sony. You came through on this. Glad to see my most-used app has gotten even better.
