Then there is the hardware problem. A computer that is designed for office applications, will never be able to exploit the scope offered by this software. As you should already rather use a PC gamer. So not Shifts all crashes and malfunctions equal to the software. For me it was previously very stable.
In principle, the installation works well. Is everything online abgecheckt from Magix (which unfortunately has to be) is the work progressing quite fast. Videos are imported and then drawn to the cutting track. Every clip you can then cut the front and back. Also effects of each clip and transitions can be installed. Title can be defined with transparency. Basically, it must be ensured, the farther forward to a film plane is in order as above it rests on the tracks used. Is similar to the levels in Photoshop. To preview normally is always a "rendering" necessary. Here then the effects and transitions are calculated and played smoothly. Applying too many effects on, the preview goes even without rendering. Tracks include the original sound of the camcorder. However, it is also more tracks with music or audio dubbing are added. The track number that Magix provides here is no one really need. Even with many clips and levels I come in my projects at most times together on 20-25 tracks for film and sound. Possibilities of alienation are also available. So you can give the film a nostalgic note with gray values and with flicker. You can export the processed material then in countless formats and compression rates. Who uses full HD material should also export the result in the best possible resolution. Of course on DVD as the good HD quality is lost. Here I recommend Blu-Ray Export.
The keyboard is very helpful if you have understood the times many functions. Basically, it does nothing more than what makes the Mouse. So you can protrude keystroke or cut back or clips "trimming", "rendering", jump to the next clip, etc. As I said, there are countless practices that are probably overwhelm a layman at first.
Compared to the other mentioned software (Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro Sony) cuts the editing program actually did very well. A little confusing are all the extra programs that you have to install. But over time, you get a certain routine. The quality of the exported material is very good and for the price, requires the Magix here there is really nothing to complain about if you look at what costs other programs with this Leistunsumfang. As with my computer running Windows 7/64 and Quad processor with 16GB Ram and professional graphics card everything works well, I give 4 stars. A deduction for the permanent online propaganda of Magix.
