After observing the posts in this forum about problems with VMS9, I can't help having the feeling that Sony released the program too soon. Here is my list of issues that hold me from upgrading:
1) On some machines, VMS9 simply won't run.
2) DVDA 4.5 doesn't burn bluray discs.
3) The newblue fx are gone, except cartoonr plugin, which newblue fx gives away for free on their site, btw.
On the plus side, I think that the Cinescore Studio plugin is kind of interesting. I really don't see the point of adding SoundForge to the program library.
Overall, my feeling is that I would lose some features, rather than gain something, which, of course, is quite the opposite of what you would expect from an 'up'grade.
Out of curiosity, I took a look at the features of the competition today: Pinnacle 12 Ultimate and Adobe Premiere 7. If you ask me, you get a lot more there, for the same amount of money. Up to now, I have always appreciated VMS' load of features and stability, but now, Sony will have to do a lot more, and do it quickly, to convince me to upgrade.
