I say make it vista INcompatible. Spare us the horrors of such a terrible operating system. If they make the next version vista only, then they will have to pay ME $20 to use it.

[quote="m rixon"]If this thread is not completely dead may I suggest a compromise that will satisfy most of us users and hopefully allow Corel to make a few dollars or pounds.

This thread is not dead, we all are awake. But the bad thing is that it seems as if Tobie is sleeping and Corel is as deaf as a doornail. I mentioned already in a previous post how strange it is that all the know-how has been achieved from Ulead but Corel let it go down the drain.
I wonder whether this forum is the right way for us. Why not and particularly the English speaking members of this forum to send a letter to Corel Ottawa. According to their own site is it my assumption that mr. Jeff Hastings, as President and General Manager Digital Media, is the right person. Would he really be aware of the discussions in this thread? Maybe we can save things in this way before the thread and MSP8 are really dead.

My apologies if this suggestion has been covered. I read through the thread and wasn't sure if this was specifically asked for but here goes:

1. Linux compatibility.

2. The A/B roll interface and NOT the storyboard method that Videostudio uses. or at the least the option to configure the timeline interface so it resembles MSP 7.

I'm curious, although my suggestion will probably not be taken seriously because of the nature of it. But why not instead take MSP and give it an interface like video studio, for consumer users. You could have advanced and basic menus, but it would be initially configured like video studio.

Also I suppose, there were some things left out of 8 that are in 7, so add those things back in too

[quote="Bignosetw"]So gang - here's your chance:
If you were told that there was a POSSIBILITY of a super-duper
"Prosumer" version of Ulead VideoStudio

Tobie,
how do I have to understand VideoStudio12, which seems to be released?
Is that the super-duper "Prosumer" version you dreamed of?

I PMd Tobie a couple of months ago to ask him the status of the Pro version of VS. He kindly replied and told me that this Pro version was in the distant future, if at all, for Corel.

From what I could decipher from the Japanese release, the new VS v12 apparently has some upgrades (as every new version does) that bring it a little closer to what MSP is, but don't expect it to be even close to a pro app.

I am not a MSP user, although I was ready to upgrade when it was "announced" that MSP was on the chopping block. For that reason I did not upgrade, partly because support would cease plus I thought it might go on sale (which it never has

). So I too am anxious to see VS v12.

I concluded that this notion was a lesson in futility a number of months ago. Corel are not interested in any software that sells less than half-a-million examples to the ignorant.

Maybe I should lock this thread as an indication that VS Pro is as unlikely as MSP 9. I'll do this in a few days if there are no protests from the supreme optimists.

Is that what moderators do? I'd have just "un-stickied" it so that it fades naturally into the background, and if anyone has anything ground-breaking to add, they still can.

That's what moderators are capable of doing. However us Admins don't dare touch anything posted by a Corel rep...

I think Tobie wanted that a sticky for more than one reason. One of them being so it is easily found by him whenever he chooses to view the comments.

I have sent a PM to Tobie.
In the meantime I would ask that the two posts remain as they currently are.

I think I was probably being too reticent for my own good. I was questioning the validity of a moderator locking a thread because it goes against his own opinion, rather than for the broader good.

As the instigator of this argument, it has nothing to do with opinion. When a thread serves no more useful purpose, it is inviting wasted effort to keep it going. In this case, the two ways to stop it would have been either to lock it or, at least, remove its stickiness and let it die a natural death.

I'm pleased to see that one of the Admins has decided on the latter course on this board and on the VS one.

I suggest this thread be now allowed to RIP!

Ahh yes, but who gets to decide if this is the case? Shouldn't the forum decide this rather than a handful of moderators?

Before this gets out of hand, I have discussed this with Tobie Openshaw (Bignosetw) who created this post. It hs been agreed that the post no longer serves any useful purpose (To Tobie) as a sticky. The two threads concerned are being evaluated by Corel. You were all asked for your opinions and you have now had plenty of time to give them. Corel will now decide if the feedback would justify development of such a product or not.

I am keeping the threads open so that forum members can continue to speculate upon what may happen next. Like that hair spray advert "Is she or isn't she" this is now a case of "Will they or wont they?"

Either way do not expect any early indications, I am sure that the marketing teams and the development teams have a lot of evaluating to do before reaching any decisions.
