5 and 6 on same computer?
i know sony hasn’t repaired the tc entry problem in advanced capture (pal only), but i thought i’d try out 6, and was wondering about the following:
a. can i run 5 and 6 on the same pc, and can i then uninstall one of them without affectting the other?
b. how do i share excalibur and other scripts between them, or do i need to seperately install for both?
c. do i have to install media manager? (i know i can switch if off after from preferences)
d. am i deluding myself that it’s worth bothering with 6 when i’m not interested in hdv, or nested veggies?
thanks, as ever,
leslie

a> yes
b> Excalibur checks for what versions you have during the installation. You can pick Vegas 5, 6, or both.
c> I believe so.
d> those are certainly a couple of the most noteworthy additionsGary

Just to expand a little bit:
a) yes but some people have experienced missing effects in Vegas 6 after uninstalling Vegas 5. Reinstalling Vegas 6 returned them.
b) As Gary said, Excalibur will automatically detect which versions you have installed. Just re-run the installation after Vegas 6 has been run. As for scripts that do not have an installation, simply copy them from the Vegas 5 “Script Menu” folder to the Vegas 6 “Script Menu” folder. They should work fine.
d) there are also some “little things” that are a big aid in Vegas 6. For example, out of sync notification, improved rendering speeds, dissolve length indicators, VST support, and don’t forget DVDA 3!

thanks gentlemen,
i’ll give 6 a whirl – anyone have any idea of the rendering speed improvements?

[leslie wand] “any idea of the rendering speed improvements?”
A hard one to answer directly. Some things render noticably faster, some render a bit faster, and others are a bit slower.
