    Studio Movie Box question

    Will Studio movie box software be upgraded to version 14 soon? With only a few days of use of the version 14 trial I'd like to purchase movie box with 14. The website description doesn't say anything and one enlarged picture on movie box plus shows the software to be version 12.  Thanks.

    I'm sure this will happen in the future, I'm just not sure when it will become a reality. Sorry for not being too helpful. I'll post any updates that I may find.

    UPDATE: I've learned from sales that you can get an Studio 14 upgrade for free with Movie box. Contact our sales team at 866-446-0833. Click here.

    Re: Studio Movie Box question

    Thanks for the link to Pinnacle's six holiday savings specials and got Studio 14 Ultra and MovieBox Plus for $99. Makes me happy and at a comfortable price. I just hope the MovieBox USB box works with no problems with Windows 7 64 bit.I'll post when I get the package and install. I hope I can retire my Studio 9 version in XP to utiltilize the DC10+ PCI card. This will be my last need to have to run Windows XP as far as my hardware and software goes. I was a XP die hard until I came from Windows 7 RC to the release version. Seven PC's upgraded and just love 7!!! PS Using Windows 7, a OCZ Vertex SSD, Eboostr beta 4 and Studio 14 trial has been awsome as far as performance on my Q6600 quad, Gigabyte P35C-DSeR motherboard with 8G of DDR2-800 ram. I make my finished movie projects in record time. I'd like to make these recommendations to other Studio users looking to speed up their projects. By the way would I have been better off ordering the MovieBoard package to use the PCI movieboard instead of the USB option: I've heard the PCI card version is more stable???

    There is still much testing that needs to be done for the PCI capture devices with Windows 7. It has come to my attention that a few users were having problems with BSODs and instability. Let me get back to you on that.

    Re: Studio Movie Box question

    I have also bought the Studio Movie Box Ultimate a couple of weeks ago. I was disappointed when I opened the box and found Studio 12 software inside. I was able to get an "Almost free" upgrade to Studio 14 (had to pay $14.95) after about an hour discussion with Customer service. Two weeks later they are advertising the upgrade as FREE. That is a little frustrating!!

    My question is the USB device funtioning with Win 7 - has anyone tried it yet? or is there a driver update out there some place? I have an upgrade for WIN 7 for my new computer but have not loaded it yet. Checking out all the driver updates required.

    Also when they sent me the Studio 14 software all they sent me was a one DVD disk in a sleeve. I have no clue if this is an upgrade or what. No instructions - no software key. Should I load the Studio 12 first with it's software key and then load Studio 12 after? But I have no software key for this disk. Any suggestions?

    I have been a Studio user since version 8. I also had the PCI card with the Blue Box attachment. This upgrad process has been a little frustrating.

    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have a wedding show I need to get started on soon and I wanted to get familar with Studio 14 before I started that project.

    You can still use Windows vista drivers for Windows 7. For the software, you don't need to install 12 if you only want 14. Install 14 and follow the prompts. That should get you started.
