Smartsound in pro x4

[roandsteve]

I have over 20 smartsound disks installed with X3. Is there an easy way to get them into X4 without installing from original disks?

Someone jumped the gun? I noticed the tutorial videos for X4 were posted on youtube up to 3 weeks ago

Well they didn't really jump the gun. They also have tutorials posted on Vimeo, which is where the Corel Guide tutorials are linked to. They do need to get these things ready ahead of the release date. However I'm not sure with Vimeo, but you can "hide" video clips on YouTube. The way to do this is to choose the option that the clip is only seen by those that have the link to them. The upload date will of course show the date they were uploaded. However I know they were available to the public until yesterday at the soonest. I subscribe to their channel, and check it often.. I happen to have a couple of "private/hidden" clips on YouTube.
