I did download the trial version and played with it some. Today I had some time on my hands and was going to go back in to play some more, but found out that my 30 day trial had alread expired. Wow! That time sure did go by fast. I should have waited until after the holidays to install the trial when I would have had more time.
Anyway, here are some notes that I did take the first time I used it:
It starts REALLY fast.
The program is very responsive and seems to not have the timeline refresh sluggishness that can be an issue in PrEl. This was SD. I did no HD work.
I noticed that the track numbering is backwards to PrEl.
You can lock tracks so that they can't be added to, moved, or edited. I wish PrEl had this feature.
It works directly with FLVs. You can just add them to the timeline and edit. Exporting is slow, compared to similar exports in PrEl, but that's probably due to the source being FLV. I was exporting to AVI as a test. It's not that I have reason to edit a lot of FLVs, but when I discovered that it could do this I got sidetracked and spent too much time playing.
Grid lines is a nice feature.
Overall, in the short time that I played with the program I was encouraged that I would like it. However, I'm not inclined at this moment to spend the $99. If I had it to do over, I would have not purchased PrEl V9, stuck with V7 (which is what I'm still using), and spent the money on this instead.
Svein, did you ever give the trial a try?
