VMS Platinum and Cinescore

I apologize in advance if I've posted in the wrong area!

I'm using VMS Platinum 6.0, and I've been looking at the trial of Cinescore to use as an addition. Is there a way to access the Cinescore tools from within VMSP (?as a plug in?), or does the Cinescore work need to be done as a separate process within the Cinescore app itself

As far as I know, it is the other way round: first you make your movie, and then you open the movie in Cinescore in Track one. Then you go through the 'scoring' process.

VMS 9 comes with the Cinescore Plugin and you do the scoring from within VMS 9. I've used the plugin on several occassions and it works very well. The plugin doesn't give you all the controls that the Cinescore standalone has, but it's great and would cost you (as a current user of VMS) much less if you bought the upgrade toVMS 9 rather than paying the full price of the standalone Cinescore.

VMS 9 comes with the Cinescore Studio plug-in not the Cinescore plug-in that you would get if you bought the real package. The big thing that the Studio version is missing is the intensity hints which to me are extremely important.

I had tried the demo of the studio software first. Then I got the platinum pack. When I found out there was no way to adjust the hints, I was extremely disappointed. being able to adjust the soundtrack based on the movie is the most valuable thing the software does. Simple creating a loop with randomly placed intro, verse, chorus is pretty lame.

i would buy the studio version, but it costs as much as the entire platimum pro pack
