Roberto, I'm trying that exact thing right now and it won't let me. I'm told to update my trial version. When looking for updates I'm taken to the same location where I just downloaded the trial version. It, apparently, wants me to download the 197 mb file again.

I'm wondering when pro 11 will come out. If I buy pro 10 now will I be able to get pro 11 for free if it comes out right after I buy it. The pain, the pain.

I'm so frustrated. My new project is not working out well at all.

Thanks for the answer.
That´s a blind way to address marketing strategies by Sony: by inserting a "VMSxx project import" function in VP10, they could draw more customers coming from VSM and willing to buy the Pro version, maybe trying 1st to render some existing projects.
I am one of those potential ones, and now that I know that the projects are not compatible, probably I won´t do the upgrade to the Pro version.

Regarding the Pro10 vs. (end of the year, as usual?) 11 version, I can bet 1$ (not more :-) that you get a free upgrade only if you buy in a time frame enough close to the 11 release. I would not risk now...

I was having sound issues with VMS 11 so I brought the rendered project file from VMS 11 into vegas pro 10. Deleted that sound file, brought the original sound file, rendered from pro 10 and it was fine. So I did a workaround. Couldn't really tell that I had lost resolution but I'm sure I did.

The general rule is that any version of Vegas will open older version project files in the same family, and Vegas Pro will import Vegas Studio files from the same version or older. So, Vegas Pro 10 will open Vegas Studio 10 .vf files, but not version 11 .vf files.

No version of Vegas Studio will open Vegas Pro .veg files.

"That´s a blind way to address marketing strategies by Sony:"
Not a fair test. Vegas Movie Studio 11 was released after Vegas Pro 10. Kelly's statements regarding backwards- and cross-compatibility are correct.

"now that I know that the projects are not compatible, probably I won´t do the upgrade to the Pro version."
That is an absolutely incorrect conclusion to draw from your question, "Can Vegas10 Pro 64-bit read a project created with VMS11 HD?" That question only asks if there is forward compatibility.

"Regarding the Pro10 vs. (end of the year, as usual?) 11 version"
Excuse me, who's software are you talking about? Sony has never followed (or even come close) to an annualized rollout strategy.

Speaking only for myself, I think speculative posting is just fine, but only if it is clearly identified as such . . .
;?)

As mentioned earlier, Vegas Pro version "X" has always been able to open Movie Studio "X" (and older) project files.

Since the VMS version number often jumps ahead of the Pro version number, this sometimes causes a problem, as now with Pro at version 10 and VMS at version 11.

However, there's always a chance that an update to Pro 10 version could be given the ability to open VMS 11 projects. They did it before in Pro version 8c, when VMS had jumped ahead to version 9:

Notable fixes/changes in version 8.0c
.
- Added support for opening Vegas Movie Studio 9 projects.
.
.

(see release notes here: http://sony-529.vo.llnwd.net/dspcdn/releasenotes/vegaspro80c_readme_enu.htm )

Of course, nobody knows if there even will be another Pro release at version 10 -- we're always hoping, of course.
