Title: Problems with projects created by 7.0 and opened by 8.0
Review: After I installed 8.0 I had to reinstall 7.0 to get my previous Video Wave projects to work correctly. First, 8.0 would not display any text added on the overlay line. When I double-clicked the overlay, I could not edit the text, which was invisible. Also, the "pan and scan" that replaced the "motion pictures" edit was a huge disappointment. Even in advanced mode, Roxio seems to have simplified the process so that it actually does less than it did before: you cannot conveniently adjust the slide duration here, you cannot zoom in as far as before; and the pre-set "start" and "end" points are quirky to override and the scan point settings sometimes seem to have a mind of their own. I loved it the way the "edit motion pictures" function was before and was hoping that in the new release that you'd be able to ROTATE the panning frame as well. What I didn't expect was a dumbed-down version of what worked so well before. Maybe I ought to go pro.
Is the review positive or negative?
