Because I was traveling I have not yet been able to upgrade my 365 to version 21.
In this forum I see that a number of issues are mentioned. Obviously, things that went okay are not put in front of the members.
Given the problems with sound (looks like serious?), profiles, projects, templates and Boris gone (can they be found or restored?), some crashes and poor sky-replacement performances....
how is the performance (I am also thinking about the scanning of templates, titles etc at program start)?
what might be your expert advise: should I upgrade or best wait until there is a newer version?
thanks!

I would not update at least until the sound issues are resolved. They are serious and it's not usable the way it is. I'm sure they are working on it as it seems to be an issue with lots, maybe all, users. Hopefully a fix will be out soon.

I wouldn't upgrade, keep in mind, most of the "new" features are simply to get the perpetual PD21 release up to date with the 365 incremental updates through the year so really not much new for the 365 user. Maybe like 3 updates:

AI Object detection with video effects
AI Sky replacement utilizing user imported pic
Enhancement to the keyframe controls for masks

As such, it's hard to believe they can release such an audio snafu, absolutely unbelievable, makes the product useless at release.
