Some but you can safely say:
- The operating concepts are now uniformly: the individual clips are called to a file project imported, on a virtual assembly table called Timeline strung together, connected by transitions, etc.
That's all done, the finished film in a file in the desired quality level is as it were cast and subsequently stored in any format.
- All the above programs have extensive functions to the individual sequences to revise, improve, for example, brightness, contrast or colors to produce animated titles or add background music.
- Gone are the days where you regularly after the third coffee cup wondered whether even did something and with the monkey handle Alt + Ctrl + Del feststelltte "The program has stopped responding".
In the end, what Hollywood studios have made 10 years ago with a million-dollar equipment, today can create links with the average consumer with his laptop and software for less than a hundred euros.
The differences lie in the details of the features and effects. Traditionally, for many years the number of possibilities and not the reliability of the selling point at all.
WHAT IS THE KEY?
In this respect, current computer does not really care for what the above programs you choose, a good movie you will thus bring all state provided ...
- Of the countless opportunities that are now included in the above software packages, I would not let me hide. Most do more harm than good and what use great effects when the subject boring, banal settings, the focus is wrong, the film does not run smoothly and the images are poorly exposed.
- The more options and effects software offers, the more confusing the operation and the number of wrong turns and dead ends. Experimental curiosity and productivity are rarely compatible.
- Schick-knacks slow productivity and extend the training period.
- Finally, hardly anyone can compare these days the abovementioned software together, because it takes weeks or even months until one has incorporated itself unless you do it full-time.
It is much more important that the software is stable, read and import the file formats of the camera can, that it does not crash when one puts together different data formats in a project that timeline, preview window and tools are clearly arranged, the preview does not rückelt, the rendering does not takes forever and the project does not go lost when things go wrong. Whether, for example, a window can be created in the window, however in my opinion is secondary.
For example, are placed 17 royalty-free music tracks available in Ultimate X8. The value in use is quite limited, the purchase can not replace royalty free music from the Internet and is more likely to be regarded as a selling point, as many other things.
However, there are functions that are essential for certain purposes, eg when movies are published or publicly demonstrated on the web, the masking of faces or license plates. In some programs you have to draw countless masks almost frame by frame. In the Corel better.
But it is for reasons of time not simply possible to assess all of these functions.
Details you can find for example in Videoaktiv.de.
CONCLUSION
On balance I would say that the version Ultimate X8 fulfills the above requirements.
