Theoretically it should work but my experience is - sorry no way. You cannot expect re-rendering of the project created with earlier version of Studio. And what is worse: with every version those addons are incompatible with previous versions. * overbloating software with a lot of pathetic effects and other crap - completely unnecesary. Such a simple thing and Pinnacle never did it right. The timeline was functioning logically till about version 11 and then they changed it so, that there is no possiblity to do true trim edit mode where all the material behind the cursor is logically pushed / pulled when you delete or extend the clip at the cursor. * lack of logic in basic edititng functions. What is worse: the files become unusable and you have to re-create the project from scratch. * unreliability! the longer and more complicated project the bigger chance that it will never render correctly, start crashing including black or red fragments inside your movie etc. I am amazed by the ergonomy and functionality put into Resolve after struggling with Pinnacle's problems, which are: And I feel like I have left some ugly prison. And now I have finally switched to Resolve Studio.

I was using Pinnacle/Avid/Corel products for ages.
