Ok, I'll bite,
Do I have to be at the show to be eligible to win one of the 5 free copies?

[GrassValley_KH]

Yes, you have to be there.

(Or, if you purchased v4.x between August 1st and September 30th)

I'll wait. I have to say the 3rd party bundle is pretty impressive compared to the past offerings. I paid $235 for Vitascene alone.
I sent you a PM

Ouch!
From those of us who couldn't wait to use the plug-ins before v5.
:~/
Now that I'm over it... will our old plug-ins still work? (NewBlue, etc)

Glad I didn't spring for Broadcast yet!

[GrassValley_KH]

It's good value alright - the retail of the third party stuff inches around $1000. The entire v5 upgrade is only $249!

I tried the download link and it sent me round and round. Will it be working later tonight?

Sorry! If it makes you feel better, the success of the 4.x launch for NewBlue was what helped drive this automatic inclusion.

They should do, but it always pays to check with the vendor - certainly, the ProDAD and NewBlue stuff are all special new versions just for v5.

Oh and before anyone asks, the iZotope stuff works perfectly, with no VST "lag".

Sorry, My Bad! Downloading now. Can 5 and 4.6 coexist on the same system?

[GrassValley_KH]

As per the instructions, no.

You'll need to find a peaceful system...or break out the Ghost/Acronis disc.

I might put it on my laptop, just for a look see. Probably order next week anyway.

Hi KH,
1) I have version 4, if I upgrade to version 5. are the goodies included, or is this only with the full version purchase ?

2) So far I have not been able to find out anything about Title Motion Pro.
Is this still included or has quick Title been improved so much that we can forget about TMP (which lots of us never liked that much)

Reading about the VST, no more lag together with the clip markers that stick to the video instead of the time lime really made my year !

3) Does this goes for any VST (third party) or only for Izotope ?

Thanks for answering in Advance ..............

[SoundFreak]

One more question if I may ?

Can the HDStorm board co exist in the same system with an NX or SP card ?

While using a project with a NX card, can I switch to HDstorm for output ?

This are exiting time's, all new toys, not even Christmas yet .........
