Ignore the picture, click on the link...

Yep--just bought, downloaded and installed the upgrade to 23. I AM SO HAPPY that in the settings there is now a transitions choice--keep timeline in sync OR overlap the clips (YEAH!).

Had a little trouble getting smartsound to get recognized. Here's what I did to get it to work:

--open Smartsound (my version is 5.7.5)

--open Studio 23 and start a new project

--put "Sky is the Limit" on the timeline

--click on the row below the "Sky is the Limit" video, then click on the Smartsound symbol

--I got the message "Smartsound plugin is not properly activated", so I kept the Smartsound screen open, closed Studio 23, started Studio 23 again, started a new project as above and now it's working fine

IF you get the upgrade download and have trouble with the download stopping, I suggest after you download the upgrade that you reboot your computer BEFORE you start downloading. I rebooted and no stoppage after that. Very easy install.

Am I reading and seeing by your emojis that PS23, out the door, is a better experience than PS22 at its release ... or it’s too early to tell?

Also, to prove it’s not always advancements in subsequent releases of a program that makes a video professional - I have been organizing my media library and came across a grand kid video I created with a very unique intro. I think I was using PS17U or PS19U at that time.  Wow! I was creative in my day.  Lesson learned - it’s more what you do with the s/w than what it can do.  I’ll share that video intro in a follow-up reply when I am on my PC.

Still to early to comment fully. But it does come with masking for video. Yay!

So far, it's been much better than PS22 when it was released. 

I do have several projects (still, all less than 10 minutes, but a couple are very complex) ready to go. So if I am MIA, it's because I am working. Any hiccups, I'll report. 

But so far, a good release, at least for me.

Burt you are right, it's the person that really matters. Learning to use what you have is the best. New software might speed things up a bit and offer new tools that you might use, but in the end, most editing is fairly basic. I'm one of those guys who like new software....

Oh man, do I LOVE PS23U. New: Masking;  Export Alpha Chanel to .Mov;   and GIF Export.  Excited I am and so far everything works that I have tried.

Someone who already migrated to Ps 23, some improvement in rendering acceleration for other platforms I have a new computer amd ryzen 2700x and it seems that improvements were based only on intel processors I'll wait more feedback from the people here before venturing into Ps23.

I have a bit of a problem. I have no New Blue objects at all. And my Pro-DAD has disappeared.

New Blue just came up...still no Pro DAD (Transitions) Any hints from anyone ? Worked in Ultimate 22

ProDad will provide updates to their programs within a few weeks/months with what you need. You will need to go to your emails from ProDad with the original program download links. When the update is available, click on that 64bit link for each of your ProDad programs, download and install. No need to uninstall first.

For NewBlue try Restore Purchase button in your Control Panel.

 

Thanks Rocket !! Appreciate it

I wish they would fix the previous version before releasing the next version.   For me the last stable version was V20.  V21 never worked right, the most recent update to V22 makes rendering a 2 hour blu ray work about 20% of the time (It did not work at all prior to the update).

I am going to wait.  Burned too many times.

 

Just upgraded to PS23  When zoomed to sync the audio of 3 video tracks they move even locking and unlocking they move. I haven't seen this before.

 

Is it possible that this thread doesn't become a catchall for all comments/complaints/feature requests on PS23 ?

Please, open separate threads.

Yes, I've seen this (and reported it), As Saby says, could people start new threads (it will help bring things to Pinnacle's attention).

I am using Smartsound version 6.1.3 and so far an unable to get it recognized in PS23.  I have followed your instructions as I understand them but no luck for me.  When you say click on the row below the "Sky is the Limit" video do you mean where is it showing in the TimeLine screen or where it shows in the main editing screen at the bottom portion of the program?  I've tried doing what you suggest in both locations but never get to see the Smartsound symbol.  Scorefitter symbol is showing but not Smartsound.  Do you have any further suggestions or clarifications that might help me?  I use Smartsound a lot and would hate to loose it in this version of PS.

Please, open a new thread !

I close here.
