Benefits Of Upgrade?

[wiry]

I have a few questions regarding making a transition from easy media creator 10 to Creator 2010. I realize there is no upgrade price benefit because my program is several years old. But will Creator 2010 read files created from easy media creator 10? Also, do I have to do a complete uninstall before I can install a new version? Are there more menus for movies? Is it very improved? Most of all, can old video wave files be read on Creator 2010? Does it crash less? I find that I have to make several smaller chapters rather than one large movie in easy media creator 10. I appreciate your help on this.

I use windows xp professional sp3 and I would like to keep emc10 as Creator 2010 doesn't seem to read its project files. I thought doing a new project in Creator 2010 would give me more options and an upgraded program. From what I have been able to discern, if I load Creator 2010 it doesn't seem to conflict with emc10 so both would live happily on the same computer, right?

 

Thanks

Video related project files from EMC 10 are not compatible with C2010 unless they are very basic, ie simple or no transitions, effects,etc. I don't know what you mean by "read files created from EMC 10". Are you referring to project files or video files such as avi, wmv or mpg? I have both EMC 10 and C2010 installed and they do not seem to interfere. The only reason I have both still installed is that so I can answer some questions here in the forum. What do you mean by "old videowave" files? I don't understand your "smaller chapters" vs "large movie" statement.

If you speak of label files [.JWL] created by Label Creator, Creator 2010 can use JWLs made by EMC 10.1 and above, but not those made by EMC 10.0 and below.

So I can install both and there isn't any problem?

If you are happy with the problem area's identified in post #2 & 3, go ahead.

 

If your updating your computer to Win 7 at the same time...... EMC 10 is not compatible.
