The Crater Effect

vigor2001:

Hey Tony P. I noticed that Pinnacle was not compatible on Video Essentials VI as well. They only list the following video editing host applications under the compatibility section on the product page:

• Adobe After Effects 7.0 +
• Adobe Premiere Elements** 3.0
• Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, CS5/5.5, CS6/6.5
• Apple Final Cut Pro 6, 7, and X
• Avid Media Composer & Symphony 5, 6/6.5
• Grass Valley Edius 4, 5/5.5, 6/6.5
• Sony Vegas Pro 9, 10, 11, 12 (32-bit/64-bit OpenFX/DirectX)
• Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9, 10, 11, 12 (32-bit/64-bit OpenFX/DirectX)

 Oh well, I guess they figured if you can't fix it, don't offer it. Merry Christmas to you too as well buddy, and Happy New Year.

I got some positive news from NewBlueFX. I wrote them and asked if there would be future support, and this is what I got....

"Dear Anthony,

 

Terrific news Tony. I'll be sure to snatch that version up myself.

Thanks!

Thanks Tony. I'll be sure to add the finished results to the end of future tutorials. I appreciate the feedback.
