MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 2014 Plus (DVD-ROM)

Customer Review

For many years I'm Magix users (both video and photo software). From satisfaction I have gained at intervals a new version. Recently before two Jah-ren the MX Plus version for the purchase of a new camcorder in order to thus better edit the AVCHD format can. So have skipped the 2013 version.

Although MX previously rendered excellent services, I have now decided for the 2014-plus version (depends also with purchase of a new PC in the meantime together-men). The installation (Windows 7 and patches) and registration (no problem) ran smoothly. Because my interface menu was familiar from previous versions, it could go even equal. My decision a few years ago for Magix was mainly on the clear, sometimes self-explanatory work surface. I do not like to read only ever in a manual with each try. (Here, however, equal to a small flaw of the 2014 version: the software package is no longer in manual only as a pdf file For MX there was a printed copy.).

But now to my first experiences: Magix 2014 Plus works very quickly - provided a powerful computer (processor 2 GHz and 2 GB of RAM). So the multi-track power was increased compared to the previous version. The new proxy interface, the software automatically or manually reduces the original high resolution material in an easily editable version, but the full resolution when exporting is reissued. This also allows for a smooth preview, which has not always been given at MX.

The editing and optimization of video and audio raw material, the new version has significantly gained (compared to MX), for example when working with screens, titles and effects. So it does Brightness / Contrast now a HDR design or effects new 3D capabilities. The aperture range has increased. Now I am not a professional videographer (year four to six videos (vacation, family, grandchildren)), so I never ausreize this extensive design options and a maximum of 99 video and audio tracks. Still, it's nice to have such opportunities in the hindquarters, because they animate repeatedly to try and then some enthusiastic indeed and it takes you into the routine work.

Conclusion: The new VideoStudio Magix Video Deluxe 2014 Plus offers me as amateur filmmakers all ways to the raw material easily, but also professionally edit. In the nearly two weeks of use, there were no problems and no crashes. Mich convinces again and again the extremely user-friendly handling. In a nutshell: a solid, very comprehensive and well-functioning program package with which I will definitely go back well to cope for some time and that will not leave any of my wishes.
