Can I say I am completely frustrated by Movie Studio 18, which is apparently some other name Movie Edit Pro, which is no longer based on Vega (which I know how to use). Is there a way to get a copy of version 17 before they screwed this up? I'll happily trade my 18 license for 17.
Technically you should be asking this question on the Vegas forums and not here but I notice boxed versions of Vegas 17 are still available from Amazon and other retailers. If you previously had Vegas 17 then maybe get in contact with Magix sales and see if they can help revert you back to your previous version.
This thread may now be locked by one of the moderators here as strictly speaking this is a Vegas query.
There was no 'screw up', this change has been commented on in both this forum and the Vegas forum many times - see this announcement from Vegas Creative Software division here and here.
Magix Movie Studio has more functionality and features then the old Vegas Movie Studio, it does require some new learning as its mode of operation is different, however there are many tutorials available for this - see this list here.
