    I was just wondering, does anyone know if Sony Vegas 8.0 files (.vf) can be edited on Sony Vegas 9? I was thinking of upgrading, but I still have unfinished Vegas 8.0 projects that I would like to finish on Vegas 9.0.

    First off if you have a VF file then this is NOT part of the Vegas Pro Series – correct? If it was then they would be VEG files. So what is it you want to upgrade to?

    Secondly I have not come across an issue in wanting to open “older”=previous versions of Vegas Video/VPro PROJECT to “newer”=recent versions of that family. If you think about it for a second or two, it would be lame of SONY to restrict older projects to not be able to convert to the latest version? It would be financial suicide?

    Thirdly, you can’t go back. Projects made in a version VP9 wont open in VP8 nor VP8 in Vegas Video 7 . . and so on . .

    Fourthly – acid test! – download a trail version you wish to U/G to and test your file – simples!

    Grazie
