To Zippy:

I tend to "listen" more than speak here on this forum, but I finally have to open my big mouth.

Zippy,
In the past, I've actually chuckled at a few of your posts.
I've observed that you have, at minimum, experience with stage lighting, NLE editing, and perhaps have some marketable skills and talents.

Unfortunately,
You lack some "people skills", seem to have some apparent frustrations with your work, and although you want to utilize this internet forum to scream a "roaring silence" about your unhappiness with this product ( to us satisfied users of this product), I'd stil like to see something come out of your computer keyboard that represented your knowledge and expertise, rather that a simple "rant".

Not all of us are Hollywood producers (and I doubt you are either), and I doubt many people here have Steven Spielbergs home phone number for the latest "Industrial Light and Magic" production, but I'll tell ya this:

The bucks for Vegas 3, 4, and 5 were worth every penny.
Simply put:
It works. It was money well spent.
"Return on Investment..??" HA! There aren't too many "investments" that can give a 100 % return after only one job.
This software did. The cost is insignificant. I'd have paid three times the price to find it sooner.
I've yet to find a piece of software that made me "more creative".
Some inspired creativity, some made "looking creative" a little easier.
I'm pretty happy with it all.

I hope you can find a way to include a little "rationality" in your future posts.
If you can't, hell, I'll "up Spot's offer", and kick in a hundred bucks or two, too.

Good luck to you.
Later.

John

I'm not really sure who this fella Zippy is.
I tend to be an observer on these boards, though I occassionally chime in. But ever this this new release, I have seen multiple posts from this tool that have absolutely no value whatsover.

It's clear that this guy creates a negative subject header, then sits back giggling to himself while eating aerosol cheese from the can watching everyone react to him.

I suppose it's a form of attention that he's not getting elsewhere in his life.

I can't think of any other reason someone would spend so much energy on all this.

I don't know about you - but there are plenty of products out there that don't work for me. In those cases, I simply move on.

That said, I'm a little surprised at myself that I put time and effort to talk about this fellow, as I suppose many others will too.

I guess Zippy will get more of the attention he seems to crave. This calls for more Cheese whiz eh?

Zippy actually lives in Vegas (Nevada -- no kidding). I swear, that is part of the mystery...

Or, to put it in the language of Zippy's current hometown, the cards are on the table and his bluff has been called, but his hand is worthless. Sorry, Zipster, the house wins again.

Zippy's also 25yrs. old, just had a birthday on April 8th. Another small piece of the puzzle. A belated Happy Birthday Zippy !
