Studio 10 looks like a great product on paper. HDV, 5.1 surround, pan
and zoom, etc. I don't know about layering though. It's an easy product
to use and I am sure that the upgrade cost will be nominal, so, I'll
take the plunge.

I would have to agree with Studio 9 being very probematic. If it worked,
it was great. And if it didn't (and who knows why), it was a horror
story. So far, so good for me. As for being a beta tester, I have been
one for M$ ever since I went to Windows.
Let me know how things go with Pinnacle on resolving your problems.
