Ultimate S Lite vs Ultimate S Pro
So what is the difference between these other than the obvious name and price?
What is the difference in features? Why would one want the Pro over the Lite version? Danny Fye VidMus Video - Music Productions |
Just from a quick glance at the website, it appears the "lite" version contains 6 of the 14 tabs worth of controls found in the "Pro" version.

huh.... this must be new. I never heard of it.

So we set out to create StillMotion 2 and then thought that there are lots of capabilities for using Markers in setting up a PhotoMontage so we thought it would be a great idea to include the Marker tab. Also a lot of StillMotion customers were people who upgraded from Vegas Movie Studio and they liked the Setup tab which set your tracks up before you start a project. And of course, you want to output your photo montage to a DVD so the DVD tab would be useful, and before we knew it... what was to be StillMotion 2 started looking a lot like a "mini-me" of Ultimate S Pro and so Ultimate S "Lite" was born. BTW, StillMotion has been discontinued and StillMotion customers can get a discount if they upgrade to Ultimate S Lite so contact our sales office if you have StillMotion and want to purchase Ultimate S Lite.

So... as Edward said, the Pro version has 15 tabs and the Lite version has 6. If you need capabilities on the other 9 tabs you probably want the Pro version. Hope this helps. ~jr |
What if a person decides that the lite version is just not quite as much as they need. Will there be a discount to upgrade to the pro version?
I have StillMotion. How much of a discount can I expect to get? I noticed that there is a sale price right now on the lite version. How long will that last? I am asking all of this because I have to wait until the first of the next month before I have any money to buy anything. Not trying to be cheep or anything but with my budget I need all of the discounts I can get! Also, thanks for the comparison details. Thanks, Danny Fye VidMus Video - Music Productions |

Start with a base 'tab' and then add whatever one wants from there. The 'tabs' would be priced according to their individual function(s). Some would naturally cost more because they do more and some would cost less. There would of course be a discount for multiple 'tab' purchases (depending on what they are and what sale prices there may be) as well as a larger discount for the entire package. You could even include Infiniticam as one of the 'tabs'. This would be great for the many workflows and needs that editors have. Some may need and use certain 'tabs' while other may need and use certain other 'tabs'. Also, this should greatly help those who are on a very tight budget in that they could buy a 'tab' or two at a time until they have the full package or whatever it is they need. As one adds more levels of editing over a period of time and finds that they now need some of the other 'tabs' then they can add those. I think this would allow editors the greatest amount of flexibility in getting the tools they really need and not have to buy and pay for tools that they don't really need! This would allow VASST to make some of their other products a part of the 'tabs' as well. I think this would make more profit for VASST than the current way and benefit the editors more as well. A win-win for all! What do you think? P.S. I know this may not sound exactly right to you but Please discourage people from using the trial version until after they have learned the basics of Vegas. When I started with version 6 of Vegas I also started with the then current version of Ultimate S and I couldn't do anything with it because I also couldn't do much with Vegas because I didn't know it yet. Even though I already had a lot of editing experience on other NLE's. This situation could prevent new users of Vegas from purchasing Ultimate S and other VASST products later on because they would not really know what the benefits would be and not have another chance to find out. Just a thought... Danny Fye VidMus Video - Music Productions |

If you look at the new Ultimate S Pro, it has the ability to only open one tab at a time. (look under View | Extensions | VASST UltimateS Pro 4 | Command Tabs) So everything is there... we would just need to sell them this way. The reason for combining everything together was to make it easier. So I can see both sides of the argument. Maybe we should do both (offer individual and as a whole?) Anyway... we'll take this into consideration next time it comes up. We just want to make sure that we don't confuse customers with too many options. Ultimate S Lite was the compromise we came up with. Quote:
