Worth upgrading to Vegas 16 from 15?

I had an email that there's a special offer of £109 to upgrade to Vegas 16. Is it worth doing or should I just stick with Vegas 15?

Re: panasonic hc-x1

I've had mine for 10 months now, and generally pretty pleased with it. I was using a Sony EA50 before this, and the 1080 on the HC X1 is much more detailed. I find I need to put more effort in to get...

Re: panasonic hc-x1

No, this one works really well.

Re: PC, these specs, graphics card confusion

Re: HC X1 firmware

Version 1.03 is now available, but it seems it is only to correct a language issue in the menu.

Hi Paul, yes, I sped up some of the footage by three times in Vegas (version 13). No colour grading applied to the footage.

Got the battery through the post today - larger capacity than the one which came with the camera, and only cost £29. Seems to work fine!

Re: panasonic hc-x1

Thanks Paul, that's really helpful. I had searched eBay for HC X1 battery, but nothing came up.

I ordered it from WEX Photographic as Preston's didn't have it in stock.

Re: 360 Comparison Video: Samsung Gear 360 versus Kodak 360 4K

The exposure and sharpness looks much better on the Kodak. Is there any way to correct the exposure on the Samsung?
