Can I Upgrade From X7 Pro to X7 Ultimate?

[taintedbrown]

Hello. I recently ordered Videostudio x7 Pro which has not yet arrived. I have since seen what features X7 Ultimate has and was wondering if it is possible to order, for example, an expansion pack that will add these features to pro?

Sorry if this seems like an obvious question but it would be a very handy solution if this was possible.

Thanks

There is no update or expansion pack as such - but the VideoStudio Pro and the VideoStudio Pro Ultimate programmes are identical.

The only differences come from the free filters and effects which come with the Ultimate programme - so you could infact "upgrade" by buying those additional options from their own manufacturers and resellers.

Hi taintedbrown

And welcome to the forums.

We do not work for Corel, simply volunteers helping running the forums.
You should contact Corel support, I know it can be a little difficult as you have to register the product first, but there is always the Corel Facebook, staffed by Corel employees.

Did you receive any contact details with your order information?

Many thanks for the helpful information. I will check all of those options out. Haven't received the item yet but got over excited as I think those filters are petty cool.

If you ordered from the Corel/VideoStudio website, the easiest would be to avail of the 30-day return and repurchase the Ultimate. Unfortunately, if you just try to buy only the add-on, it will charge you list price ($170 or something absurd like that). Since you say you have been "waiting for it to arrive," it sounds like you bought the packaged version rather than the download (why?), which may complicate the return. Corel is clear that the 30-day return doesn't apply to purchases not made directly from Corel.

Hi there. No I ordered it off ebay thinking I was clever and then realised the ultimate had some extras that would prove useful and now that I'm sort of stuck with pro, was wondering if there was a workaround such as has been suggested, as in getting the filters separately. I wonder if any users have created their own filters?
