    Gotta say, looks nice but a lot of things in this will make my job harder, less room for nodes, gallery and dynamics.
    I was hoping for floating windows on 2nd monitor and frame blending speed warps and plugins, better noise reduction, bigger window for curves, I liked the bigger font and audio! They have done a great job although.
    Thanks BM.

    Fantastic updates Peter. Shame I can’t be there to see it running.

    Not only have you guys listened you’ve excelled on delivery.

    Guessing V9 is completely compatible with your new camera?
