  • Uninstall 8 before installing Vegas 10 ?

    Posted by Brad Leigh on March 8, 2011 at 1:08 am

    Hello
    Sorry posted this in Vegas and now I’m moving it to the basics section.
    Don’t want to muck things up so I thought I’d ask a question before upgrading. I have vegas 8 studio Platinum installed on my PC and works fine.
    I have purchased a Full (not upgrade) version Movie Studio HD Platinum Production Suite 10 (Box).
    Should I leave version 8 and install 10, or would you recommend I first uninstall version 8 first.
    As well I have a cineform codec? that was needed back when I installed 8, is this still needed?
    Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
    Brad

    Don’t uninstall 8. You can install both and use both. Don’t uninstall Cineform as Vegas hasn’t come with it since,, before 8 since you had to aquire it. Vegas isn’t backwards compatible so if you save a version 8 project in 10, you won’t be able to open it in 8 anymore. Just make copyies fo all your .VEG files from ver 8 with
    8 at the beginning of the name. This way all your ver 8 veg files will on top in explorer and ver 10 will be after. An easy way to “Keep em seperated” {snare snare} “music starts” OK,,,good thing i’m not a comedian. LOL
