'VEGAS Movie Studio 16 brings powerful tools like those the pros use to everyone, and makes creating videos easy even while offering the most sophisticated editing tools and features.” “Users make it clear that they need tools which help them have fun while being productive,” says the owner of VEGAS Movie Studio 16, Gary Rebholz. So you could open your version 13 projects in version 16, but version 13 will not recognize version 16 projects.VEGAS Movie Studio 16 Suite includes an tool package from NewBlueFX, which provides users with Chroma Keying functionality from Chroma Key Pro and professional grade 3D titles from Titler Pro Express. * Just to be clear in the event you are not familiar, each succeeding version can use the preceding version projects (not withstanding some special FX, Plugin or Extension that was purchased solely for the previous version), but previous versions cannot recognize succeeding version projects.

However I do have Movie Studio 15 installed to assist friends who use it and will be upgrading to version 16 later this week just to keep up with the latest. I don’t use Movie Studio anymore, rather DaVinci Resolve and I tinker with Vegas Pro. The good thing is, if you install the just released version 16, your older version can remain for you to fall back on*. Hopefully the issues will be few and worked out quickly with follow-up updates (which Magix has been pretty good about). With that said, there are always some hiccups to a new release and I doubt Magix Vegas Movie Studio 16 will be any different.

Magix is on it’s 3rd upgrade to both Movie Studio and Vegas Pro, so I think they are settled in and making the best of a product that for so long Sony ignored. You will always be able to get support here at the COW although when a new version comes out, if your question is specific to that new version getting answers will depend on how many users here have upgraded to that new version. Hi Bill, I’m sure Stewart will add his wisdom and thoughts, but I thought I would barge in with mine in the meantime.
