MC9 tiral...

I went the trial route in March and bought after 29 days in April. The trial version was full featured as far as I know. However, if you think there are features missing, there's a good chance MC9 will do what you want but you just don't know how. It's amazing the features I find by just playing around that aren't documented anywhere that I know of. Just go through each and every menu item and play with them all, right click on things to see what happens, and just try things as you think of them (dragging, resizing, whatever) to see if they work. I think you will be pleasantly surprised - I know I was. Or if you have a specific question, post here or at JRiver Interact/Forum. The support for MC9 there is astonishing.
