Tell me why should I upgrade to X4

Post by mitcs0ke »

Hello everyone!! Ken, Ron, Steve, Black Lab, hope everyone is doing well?
It has been awhile.

So, I got VS X3 for Christmas and just installed (got all the extra stuff installed)and looked at it
a few weeks ago. Now VS X4 is out!!!!

I know this board has the best group of Video Studio experts on the planet!!
So tell me why I should buy X4!!!!

P.S. I was cleaning up one of my XP machines the other day and
discovered that it still has a working copy of VS 7 that I just never
removed and it still WORKS!!! Just thought some of you would get a kick
out of that. :D

Welcome back!!! :)

First wow still have VS7 installed, I almost have you beat, I still have VS8 installed. A while back, just for fun I re-installed VS 5, yep that's Five, on my WinXP machine, and it worked fine.

Now the big question, why should you upgrade to VS X4...
The big main difference is IF you don't use another DVD authoring program, like Nero, Corel resorted back to using the integrated DVD burning module. Something that you probably noticed in VS X3, where you have the awful DVD Factory 2010, or at least DVD MF 7SE.

With VS X4, you can now place titles on any video track, AND use transitions with them. There were some problems with the High-def in VS X3, that seems to have been ironed out in VS X4. Render times are suppose to be faster, I haven't really ran any tests in that regard to know if it really is or not. The Instant Project templates can be packaged and shared. In other words if you create some special templates, you can package them up and share them with others. They added the ability to create simulated 3D videos. I don't think that you can actually edit 3D video, that was recorded on the newer 3D camcorders though. You would need to purchase the box version to get the free 3D glasses, which are not the old cheap paper types, they are a good quality plastic frame glasses. They also have the Stop Motion animation, and Time-Lapse.

Well that's a start, let's see what others say. There are problems that some are having, nothing new, there's always going to be some problems.

Without knowing your needs and desires I don't think anybody can tell you why you should buy any software. That is strictly a personal decision. Download the trial and give it a spin.

Hello mitcs0ke,

Like what Black Lab said. We do not know what kind of project you are working on or the things that you need or looking for, so the best answer is download the trial and you will probably answer that question yourself.

You can download the trial via www.corel.com/trials
