I am glad I found the information, and I don't want to toot my own horn. It's juat a relief to see that this has been locked into a real bug and real scenario, so that perhaps fixing will come soon. It's been frustrating, especially since VuePro in itself was worth the money. When it runs, it is sweeeeeeeeet! The only problem I've had after the second update was just this particular bug. Otherwise it's been very stable until the chaos. So if that's fixed, I should be in heaven.

You are right about the workflow. There is very little that I plan in advance, beyond a rough concept, and then that is more of a picture in my mind. The fun for me is to tinker with different things, experiment with FX like Pepper's Ghost, and other things. So basically my whole Vue experience is moving things around and trying different combinations of elements to tell the story I want to tell. I find that if I start with a plan, I usually find other interests and wind up with something different anyway. Maybe in the truly pro world people don't do that, but it's the way I do it even on the commission works, which fortunately I've had a lot of creative freedom on so far.

And yeah, I remember the old VIA boards, had one, hated it, doused it in gasoline and burned it at the stake. Okay, well maybe not that bad, but I traded it in for a Pentium later on. I realized it wasn't Athlon's fault, but like this, if it doesn't work, it's losing time and money, so I had to drop it. Maybe in the future would go back to it. Don't know.

Guess the ball is in their court.
