It comes in useful with older NewBlueFX from MSP 10 Suite, because when using the 64-bit version of Movie Studio Platinum, third-party plug-ins will work only if they are 64-bit plug-ins. You can have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions installed at the same time. Movie Studio Platinum 12 and 13 are both available as 32-bit and 64-bit. If you have a large screen, they'll be a pleasure when you get used to them. And don't be put-off by the new larger icons. The UI has been revamped quite a bit, but most of the old features are still there (somewhere). One of the new features is the option to right-click the clips in the Project Media window and choose Create Video Proxy (for high-definition editing) from the shortcut menu.


The 2 Boris videoFX units are very powerful, if/when you learn to use them Tutorials seem to be available on the Boris site though. The FXHome/HitFilm add-on is not the HitFilm Express 2 which is included in Movie Studio 12 Visual Effects Suite, it's 7 visual effects plug-ins from the HitFilm collection. The add-ons Chris B mentions are in the 13 Suite version. Worth noting that there are three different packages of Sony Movie Studio 13 available.
