Anyone get Pinnacle Studio 9 yet?

I just ordered the upgrade a few days ago and it should be here sometime this week, and I'm just curious if any halready has it, does Studio 9 fix some of the problems that Studio 8 has, like the LONG rendering times or the inability to export a video longer than 4 minutes...the simple, easy to overlook problems?

...OK, got Studio 9. Took 3 tries to install it. Already downloaded first critical patch. Already crashed 5 times. Unable to open any video file. Thank you Pinnacle.

Not that anyone really cares, but I finally got the biotch working. Here's the good-and-bad comparison list to Studio 8 (and I'm still learning the thing so this list is non-comprehensive)...

GOOD:
New Effects (video and audio) the "old film" filter is a neat feature that I see a few future AMV's using, can capture/create projects in 16x9 format, output VHS to s-Video on breaker box, "background render" renders effects and transitions while you edit, more than 1 clip in bin at a time, projects can have stereo panning and 5.1 channel Surround Sound.

BAD:
New effects interface makes some tasks more complicated (like changing a clip to just plain black filler), some new effects look cheesy, Hollywood Pro-FX "special" transitions leave the phrase "Pro-FX" on our project after rendering...grrr...

...
All that I can think of for now.

Ha...I thought you were typing 'the shit' for a second.

It is the poop. It sucks ass, as I've heard. I saved a hundred bucks and bought RoxioMedia7 instead.
