I have the first version and went through a phase of using it plusplus - but like Worddigger says - rendering - sssslllloooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww - really slow, however i belive the latest is better in this respect.

I dont often use the looks now - many are too extreme to be useful, and in the mean time I have got better at using vegas fx to get the looks i want.

I do still find myslef using the misfire gadget for aging video to look like old film - it really poops all over the vegas plug in.

I suspect i may us looks more if i had 4 cores - the new version and more patience.
