Now that people have had time to experiment with the real deal and the demo version, I have a question to all that have used it. I am trying to decide whether or not to upgrade to V5. I downloaded the demo last night, and I spent a short time with it. So far, I have not seen much in V5 that would give me incentive to upgrade to it. Now, I'll be honest, I spent all of 15 minutes on it, so I could have easily missed things. All I'm looking for here is people's opinions on if they think it's better, and what those improvements are. This is what I've found:
1. I dislike the overall look of V5, I agree with previous posts about it. It does strike me as cartoony and toyish. However, I do like the idea of an update with choosable skins for it.
Other than that, I really didn't see anything that was an improvement over V4. Now, I didn't get the Boris part, so that in itself could be a substantial adddition. Has anyone experimented with Boris, or what exactly can it do to improve the project?
2. DVDA2 could be worth the upgrade. If only Sony sold it separately, I might easily jump to it. It does look like DVDA2 has more control; I like the hierarchial DVD layout on the left window. End actions, of course, make a good reason to upgrade. Subtitles maybe. But other than that, is it worth the expense? I do congratulate Sony on their wonderful Upgrade prices to current Vegas/DVDA users, however can another program like DVDLab do all that DVDA2 can do? It is a cheaper program.
Sorry for the long post here. I'm just trying to figure out all the improvements and enhancements of the new bundle before I jump to it. Any comments would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Ben
