I'm so glad this version came out that seems to work with my HDV footage.
I downloaded the trial version and am giving it a whirl.
I haven't made a disc yet from video I've taken with my HV40 that I bought in February.
I bought the Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0 but can't seem to get a grasp on the difference from Premiere Elements 2.0.
I have to watch a tutorials as I go along.
With Premiere Elements I know how to use the properties panel and am more familiar with everything in general.
I will put together a 2 minute clip and see how everything works. But so far I'm very happy.
