Hi, philwizzer123
I have both 8 and 14 on my computer and I have use for both versions. If I get a warning "Encountered An Improper Argument" with the usual "bonk" warning sound in PD14, I'll take the clip across to PD8 and to what I wanted to do in there, then bring that rendered effect back to PD14 for the rest of my processing work. You'll probably find there'll be uses for both versions of Power Director, but it's entirely your call.
Cheers!
Neil.
