Need tip : Moving from V5 to latest versions

$

0

I'm taking the plunge, putting aside my V5.0 version and jumping into the latest version of MC (8.5 I believe)

Before I do this I'd really appreciate your help

Since I'm starting from V5, I'm hoping you guys/gals can help me jump start and get up and running quickly without digging for the information of the updates on each of the versions.

I should say that I'm using old fashioned HD - no new formats etc - I'm hoping to find something more reliable, more efficient, easier and less error prone than using v5.

So here is what I'd like to hear

1. Gotchas - where are the stumbling blocks ? for example

   - backwards compatibility 

  - problems keeping my previous version active 

  - new hardware requirements

  - things that work totally differently and I need to relearn (I know the menus have been changed)

2. Wows

 - The first features I should look at

 - what problems will I now solve (my biggest headache is on the timeline - losing A/V sync, tracks that enable themselves, and in general things happening on the timeline that I don't expect)

 - What will help me save time ? - I'm hoping to gain time using AMA (I have Canon .mts file which in V5 doesn't even always import properly), and rendering and other heavy things that happen in the background )

And of course any pointers to other resources 

Many thanks

Yonatan
