''so why again am I paying $89 to upgrade? I know, nobody is forcing me to - but looking at history new stability patches will go into V12 and not V11...'' I don't believe anyone is being ''forced'' to upgrade, as you say.  The addition of Boris Graffiti, Magic Bullet Looks and the montage feature IS worth the upgrade in my opinion.  ...

I haven't found that to be the case.  Frankly, I think Vista breaks Vista.  It's an operating system that seems to have a mind of it's own.

Pinnacle Studio Ultimate.  If I were you, I would wait a few weeks and get 12 once it is released.

From what I can tell in the promo videos, unfortunately, it looks as if there are no additional tracks.  I am hoping that is not the case as that was one of the features I thought may be included.  I will still buy it, but it is limiting not having more video tracks.

I haven't yet, but I'm sure it will not be too long until you can pre-order.  Last year when I pre-ordered Ultimate 11 from Pinnacle, many were reporting on the board that they had received it already from various online stores, while I was still waiting for my copy from Pinnacle.  This winter I built a new computer in anticipation of ...

Course the HV30 I just ordered is on backorder too.  They'll probably both arrive later than what I would like.......yesterday

Now the big question.....to place your pre-order with Pinnacle or another online retailer.  Which way do you think it will arrive faster?  I have a major project coming up end of June, and I would like to have upgraded to 12 before I start.  The enhancements look interesting and even though I am trying to learn Vegas, I do wish to ...

Hopefully sooner rather than later.  Very curious to see if they have managed to expand on Studio's abilities (prosumer) while keeping a basic version for those just getting into video editing.

I agree with Tony P.  Look at any of the forums for video editing software and there are many people having problems with their software of choice.  I think all the software companies that sell video editing programs are guilty of making the whole process out to be easier than it really is, and frankly, downplaying the need to have a ...

ghuck, how did the google earth and Camstudio turn out?  I wanted to try that in a project but I just didn't have the time to mess with it (I tried to find somone with the pro version but didn't).  Did it look OK for the final output?
