The Scorefitter music generator sounds like it would be fun to use with specialty video projects.

[blot]

I'm liking the SoundSoap tools as well as Dolby digital 5.1 audio mixing.

[Joel Crane]

Stagetools looks handy, it offers panning and zooming.

[elipsoid]

Stagetools look nice.

[makicr]

I am intrigued by the Scorefitter. I nearly always put my videos to music. I wonder if it can do a better job than I do.

[Bob Christensen]

Oh yeah! Got to have this to make high def DVDs. Would love to see how the music scoring works.

[jacklf]

I'll go with the Scorefitter music generator -- looks like it'd be pretty handy.

[mboone]

I have an older version of Studio, so the feature I would need most is Vista support.

[Cold Flame]

Scorefitter sounds as though it's one of the coolest features. I'd be curious to see how good of a job it does integrating music, etc...

[dshep2020]

StageTool and Scorefitter look pretty nice. Nice to see Vista support too.

[DocGolden]

I like spotting the 'Improved speed and performance' feature. I've got a lot of video I need to start digitizing & editing.

[timmy]

I have a laptop with a TV card, so to convert my TV recordings to DivX would be really nice to save space...

[DocGolden]

I've got a lot of home video to digitize & edit, so the 'Improved speed and performance' is attractive...

[riley4077]

Up-sampling to HD resolution sounds great.

[Reid Kistler]

Our Canon S3is takes surprisingly good "snap movies" - in Stereo sound, no less. Looks like this would be a great tool to finally edit some of them together....

[follick]

Backing up HD quality video to Mpeg-4

[abloom]

Have an older version, and I'm simply looking for HD support :)

[Gordo]

Audio noise cleaning tools looks interesting!

[rtrueman]

I like the user interface. It's easy to see the entire project you're working on, cuts, transitions, etc. Nice looking app.

[alese]

Judging by my experience with version 8 I would say the best feature would be more stable/less buggy...
But the coolest would probably be Scorefitter.

[stan]

I have a AVCHD panasonic camcorder, so this'd be perfect for me to importt and edit them.

[GreatDay]

Oh my gosh, i could actually fit music to my video interviews that would be in sync!!!

[Jon Childs]

Stagetools

[spacehippie2k]

web publishing and Vista support

[sofene]

The user interface is cool and it is nice to see Vista support too.

[andrew_lee]

I'd go with the user interface.

[Ploobers]

I'll have to go with Scorefitter too.

[wynand32]

The AVCHD and Vista support, taken together, make this a great product!

[Dyvim]

AVCHD and web publishing. Nice-looking interface.

[David Horn]

Scorefitter... wouldn't be difficult to do a better job than me for choosing music. My parents were not impressed that I edited the movie of their cruise last year to the Titanic theme song. :)

[John Lane]

I would love the Sound Soap!!! My videos need a lot of work.

[mamoleh]

StageTools looks awesome!

[wilkinsjme]

The score fitter sounds very intriguing.

[txa1265]

We take a fair amount of video at kids' events and many people want us to share with them - and we would use the audio cleaning and scene 'pan & zoom' features to help with those 'less than perfect' moments/

[piperpilot]

Definitely Scorefitter.
