Updating from MEP2021 to MEP2022

Every time I open MEP 2021 Premium, the Update now box opens, inviting me to update from 20.0.1.80 to 21.0.2.130

If I do so, what will I lose from MEP 2021 Premium, I seem to remember that the update does not include some of the features currently available in 2021 Premium

AMD Ryzan 5 3600, Asus GeForce GTX 1650 (GDDR6) Graphics, (536.40) Asus Prime B550M-A LGA 1200 mATX Motherboard, MWE White 550W 80+V2 power Supply. 500GB NVME M.2 PCIE SSD, Kingston Fury Beast 16GB DDR4 Ram, 2TB HDD, Philips 32" 325C 1920 x 1080 Monitor, Samsung 28" 3840x2160 UHD 4K Monitor, Win 11 (24H2).

Hi Robert.

Section does not seem to work the same as before for a lot of people.

Size Position and Rotation have been combined.

No more proDAD Mercalli 2.0 Not replaced unless offered in a third party effect package.

Key frame activation has changed and is not applied automatically in all cases.

The speed effect seems to have developed a glitch in some instances of use.

Some 3D animated titles appear to have stopped working.

The system requirements seem to have been more strict as to which systems work as well as before.

No more access to the main concept codec.

Interpolation of of intermediate images is now automatically applied to video clips on import to a project and has to be undone manually if not wanted.
 

There may have been more that I can't remember.

Ray.

Thanks Ray, Mercalli is not an issue as I have Mercalli 5.0 standalone, but from what you are saying, I would be better off staying with MEP2021

Hi Robert.

I suppose it depends on what anyone really wants out the 'upgrade'.

There are a few benefits. Generally speaking I have found playback smoother and exporting quicker with H264 exports. I actually prefer the combined Size Position Rotation effect. I never really had a use for the main concept encoder. I don't mix video file types much if at all and stick to what would be classified as 'normal' cideo clips produced by cameras using mainly the older mov format or MP4 wrappers and don't work above 4K 50fps.

I also have VPX 12 from Humble bundle (Two days left on offer) for when I need something MEP 2022 no longer has so opening older projects is still viable without missing settings. For me I will probably skip Movie Studio 13 (If that is what they will call it) when it comes out unless it is a serious upgrade from 2022.

Personally I think the Humble bundle offer is excellent. Forget the arguments on other topics about what wasn't included by people who expect to get everything for £28:00. Now I feel I have best of both worlds.

Ray.
