I had HD Suite 9 and Upgraded to HS Platinum 10... when I did, I found the software was almost useless. It would not play files properly, locked up, ran out of memory, failed to render sometimes... literally had to revert to HD 9 Suite to do any video editing. I submitted a ticket and found out that the software does NOT support MOV or AVI files.
This is an issue... I have two Canon cameras... one records in MOV format, the other in AVI format. This means I must convert all my videos manually to MP4 or WMF before I can even edit them.
I found two software packages that help...
OXELON Media Free Converter - This works okay for MOV to MP4 conversions, but you need to fiddle with the settings to get it right. (I render in 16:9 aspect 854x480 pixels for YouTube.) I downsize the 1080P to make it more manageable... dropping a 600meg file to 100 meg or less. Be sure to get the software and the plug-in to operate properly. It does batch files which is a wonderful thing.

The other is a very simple, stripped down program to convert AVI to MP4 directly... no frills... but the conversion is excellent for input, the output files are about the same size. It won't do batch files unfortunately... so you have to manually click each one to convert.
Can you (SONY) please update the software to work DIRECTLY with MOV and AVI files?
Thank you,
Jerry
