Cavetas for interchanging projects between 8.0c and 8.1
Edit: Sorry about typo in subject - can't change after posting!
Could someone kindly point me in the direction of any information that discusses the caveats, pitfalls, suggested workflow etc for working on a project in both 8.0c and 8.1. I have just installed 64 bit Vista as a dual boot and having played with 8.1 (for a very short time only) so far I am impressed (not with Vista - hate it!). My reason for needing to revert to 8.0c is plugin support (primarily for Looks). A couple of specific questions: 1. Can I safely create a project in 8.1 and then open it in 8.0c? Should I be doing all my 8.0c work first and then going to 8.1? Does it matter? 2. Am I right in believing MB Looks simply will not install in a 64 bit OS at this time? (Looking forward to the elusive 1.2.1). 3. Is there any way to share plugins across OS's? I suspect the answer to be 'don't be so stoopid!' but you never know, there may be a way to do it (be gentle with me). 4. I will of course check this, but does anyone know if Real Video is 64-bit compatible? Any and all guidance is welcomed! |

Perrone, Edward, thanks for your replies.
Good to know that it's a safe practice and I will take the advice and now (finally!) make the move to 9. What I meant with the plugins question was a way to install a plugin in XP and have it accessed by Vegas in Vista (on a dual boot system) rather than having to install it twice - but with hindsight I am thinking this is a redundant question, as I guess I could simply install Vegas 32 bit in the 64 bit partition. Sorry, hadn't thought that one through. Regarding Real Video - my mistake, I was meaning NEAT Video, not Real. I see that there is in fact a 64 bit version of Neat, which is good. Thanks again to both for the guidance. |
Yeah, just install the 64-bit OS and then install both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Vegas. You can switch back and forth then. Although, you may find you don't need to once you get everything you need in the 64-bit version.

Sigh . . .
Well, as Jeff mentioned in that thread, at least we have NewBlue! |
When 8.1 first came out I played with it a bit and found it to be faster than 8.0c. At the time, I had no problem opening up veg files originally created in 8.0c. FF a few months and suddenly when I go to open up existing veg files in 8.1 I get an error message and they won't open. Something about a mismatch. Nothing has changed as far as OS (Vista 64) or my hardware configuration. No biggie, but when I have simple projects with no plug-ins I'd prefer to use 8.1.
