Can I open projects from Studio 15 and can I expect it to work? (With the negative reviews of 16 and 17, I'm very concerned about upgrading!!)

I've had a spectacular response to 16. Wonderful. I've had trouble lately because of operating system problems with my computer. The Geek Squad seems to have corrected the OS challenges. So I'm ready to try 17.

Yes, I went from 14 to 17 with the same concerns. Everything worked as expected. All of my projects converted using the import feature and then were editable in 17. I bought 17 exclusively to burn Blu Rays and so far I have not had any issues and have created several Blu Rays from content that was created in Studio 14.

You have to convert the old format to the new one. The reason I upgraded is because I wanted more features, but you need to re learn several of the commands, and some of the old does not work quite as before.

Download the demo and try it if possible, they seem backwards compatible. Check Pinnacles FAQS and forum. I think there is backwards compatibility but I don't want to mislead you.

I haven't had any trouble at all with that. Can only suggest you try it, not that expensive and Ultimate comes with lots of goodies that make it well worthwhile.

Pinnacle has their own site that you might find answers to all your questions. There on the forums you will quickly find out whether it's a good to have or not. I understand their live support sucks... How's the software? I have studio 9 and need to upgrade NOW!!! Had a few problems in the past but it was sorted eventually? Do I want to go through it again?

NO, do NOT get a MAC. Overpriced and WAY over-hyped. I can edit 60p with ZERO chop on one of my meager core-duo laptops at 1.8ghz, with effects and PIP's, etc. no problem. You probably are not optimally configured both in hardware and software. What kind of hard drive do you have? This is a very likely culprit. I typically only edit on RAID0 configs because of their awesome speed, and this is where the bottle-neck is really. Also, get some real editing software. I've been using Edius for 10+ years now, and it is simply THE BEST NLE software I have ever used bar none (Vegas, Avid, Premiere Pro through CS4, and yes (sigh) Final Crap Pro). It is incredibly fast, stable, and supports mixed formats and more on a single timeline. Best wishes in any case.

Not sure if you can downgrade it...but I can tell you this is an AWESOME machine! I would suggest getting this and learning Window 8...it is a bit of a pain to learn...but you'll soon discover that Window 8 is not as bad or as difficult as you might have thought and actually helps things work faster. Hope that helps you out.

Just do it:) there is nothing wrong or horribly different between 8 and 8.1. But it's also about safety. Things that were issues with 8 are fixed in 8.1. and as far as visible changes: for normal PC user they give a little more "normal" desktop experience, you can customize your tiles in more shapes and you can get the start button back. That's it. The major changes. It's just an update. Nothing bad or crazy good.

I believe so. I wanted to do about the same thing since I am a 3D developer. But when I ordered it, Amazon came back with it was out of stock and NO Estimated Date of Delivery. So I had to downgrade and get the 5.1 version.

Yes. Perform your upgrade then.follow instructions to.open existing file...there should be no problem opening your 2007 file

I am returning my copy. It works with Windows 7 but no single project can be more than 20mg. It has great features but crashes and you cannot retrieve what you have created. It is a known defect, they told me they are working on it! They told me to try Print Shop 23.

I don't know. Could never get software to open. I purchased software but it only had trial version key to open. Contacted support and was given another key code that when plugged in said I needed to purchase a license to run the software. Did you get yours to work or are you looking to buy? If you haven't bought it yet I would say don't.

J. Brum..... I would first suggest contacting their CS dept. and get as much help as possible from them. They're fantastic people there and want their program to work for everyone. If they don't suggest completely deleting and reinstalling the simulator, that may be another option to try. I personally had purchased v.4 well over a year ago and I just received notice of v.5 within the last month, being available for download. I had no issues downloading or installing the upgrade. I also am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I hope this helps somewhat.

The highest update for this computer is 10.6.8 just below mavericks and can't run final cut I'm not sure about pro tools

Here's the thing, I threw out the packaging. Either way, Monster still quarantee's that if product becomes obsolete, they will upgrade for free. I believe 15.8 is the current standard. Sorry not of much assistance.

It does ask to install updates for both Adobe and Java. I'm not a gamer though so don't know about Monday or other.

Yes. I am running Photoshop CS6. Mine is i7. I am still tempted to up the RAM. But you should have no worries.

I also have the pro 4x, I have never had the issue you seem to have. other than the 20 overlay tracks and the 3rd party add on's with the ultimate I can't see any difference. the main reason I upgraded was for these features as well as the price. I got it on sale at amazon and used rewards points on my credit card so it only cost me about $15. When I do a project I always seem to have alot of stills as well as video, for that reason I make several 3 or 4 minute clips saving them in mp4 format, then I stitch them together. That way if I'm well into the project & decide I want to make a change near the start It's no big deal, just change the one clip. Dave

I don'think you should have any problems,assuming you are familiar with windows 8. That was my problem,as it was for me being a total novice when organs to this new program. Good luck.

I called adobe yesterday on this. I want to upgrade from a CS upgrade. They said that will work fine. **EDIT: It worked, no problem. **
