Using VSP's created in VS Pro x 4

Post by Reds9908 »

For one reason or another I have been not been able to devote any time to editing since 2014 but happily now I can get back to it. I expected to pick up where I left off in the middle of a project using Pro x4 and immediately hit the 'Windows update issue'. I have tried all the fixes to no avail so have decided to bite the bullet and upgrade both my OS(from W7 to W10) and VideoStudio. My question is will I be able to use the edit projects I created in Pro x4 if I upgrade to VS Pro x9 or Pro x10 (or x10 Ulitimate for that matter - I'm not sure whether I need to go as far as Ultimate but will scour these boards to see what others think!)

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums,
Yes you should be able to without any problems. VS is backward compatible. The issue is with the opposite, say if you created a project in VS X9 or X10 and wanted to open it in X4, that would not be possible. VS does give you the option when creating a project to save it as an earlier version, but that only extends to the 2 more recent versions.

Thank you so much. That's quite a relief! I can go ahead and get myself up to date now.

The real answer is maybe as 100% successfully opening a VSP file created by an old version of VS with a newer version of VS depends on the filters used and if speed/timelapse were applied. It's for that reason that I keep old versions of VS installed. See:
