If you buy the upgrade from 4 to Platinum in the download version do you get all that comes in the boxed version except the hard copy of the manuals. Other than the manuels is there any reason to get the boxed version?
Platinum MS6 DVD CD and quick start manual
1,001 Sound effects CD
Acid XMC CD and quick start manual
Sony Sound Effects (sampler) volumes 1 - 5 CD
DVD Architech Studio quick start manual
HDV - What You NEED to Know book by our friend "spot"
and some coupon or something for more Pixelan effects
I don't know what you get with the download version, but with free shipping, I didn't mind waiting 3 days.
Be certain to check the boxes for the Snd FX disk, the book on "What You Need to Know About HD," AND the Acid XCM loop disk--all of which are delivered in the US by UPS. Of course you don't get the hard bound copy of the manual.
Yes !
keyframing all effects and pan and crop
reverse
undocking windows
a video transition effects program
parent child compositing
track motion
4th video and audio track
I'm sure there are more
Thanks for the information. I just put my order in over the internet. They have it down to $50. I'm not sure of what all the things you mentioned are (such as keyframing, parent-child-composting, and undocking windows), but I'm sure I'll learn.
What types of things can you do with the parent/child compositing. The reason I am asking is that I read a how-to article on duplicating film effects using multiply in the parent/child compositing in Vegas 5. Of course, Movie Studio 4 does not support that. Does anyone know if Studio 6 does?
