If you are talking about upgrading from Vegas Movie Studio 8 to Vegas Movie Studio 9, there are a couple that come to mind. You'll get the Cinescore plugin with all 3 versions to help with royalty-free background tracks and several extra themes with Platinum Pro. With Platinum Pro you also get Sound Forge Audio Studio 9. Not sure if your VMS 8d has 5.1 surround sound, but WMS 9 does have it. Platinum also lets you burn to a BlueRay for HD videos.

In another thread about version differences I posted that you can look up the readme from SCS update page about the version of interest and it lists the major enhancments/fixes in that version. So if you look up the readme for 9.0b, it will list changes from 9.0a and also changes in 9.0 (from the previous release, 8.0).

To be clear: "Vegas Movie Studio" is a totally different line from "Vegas". The naming distinction is lost on many people.

Anything with "Movie Studio", including the "Platinum Pro Pack" is a stripped down, limited home-version for movie editing. So when talking about version 8.0 and 9.0, make sure you're talking about the same product, or upgrading the number could actually downgrade your product!

"Vegas Pro" is typically $500+, while the "Movie Studio" line is more like $50-$130ish.
