MAGIX Video Pro X 4 Crosscrade (CD-ROM)

Customer Review

Since I was looking for a low-priced editing program for me personally and did not want to take up professional programs such as Avid, with whom I work in have been very good experience, I chose Magix.
Already knew Video deluxe and felt the relatively simple handling and the comparatively large number of functions very convincing.
As owner of Video Deluxe I have but then decided on a crossgrade to Pro X4, because I was too expensive 5 and 6 is already in the starting blocks.

Well, in a nutshell:
The performance is abysmal, due to lack of multi-core support and at times sloppy programming.
The functionality is fine, although he of course never comes close to the size of Avid, Premiere or Vegas.
The official statement that this program will be used for broadcasting purposes, thus I can not really take seriously, because for the supplied and pre-rendered effects are too cheap.
But your own effects, such as large text animations are not possible due to lack of keyframe animation.
While there is a 3D font tool that also provides reasonably nice results, but I like to have total freedom.
But since this program is also directed primarily at beginners, that's fine.
And otherwise the packet is also tied neatly.
The color grading can be here while not edit Fabrkurven, but also with the color circles will also produce good results and who, for example, the Sin City - want to look mimicking, may thanks to the Color Correction do likewise. The Nachschärfungseffekte are also surprisingly well done and let Schärfunsartefakte in the forward stages very little space. Only at higher recognize the sharpening.
The slow motion with frame interpolation I have not tested it yet, but I think that it should deliver a good job.
The format support is also surprisingly high and so even XDCAM leave - files that record professional shoulder cameras capture.

Not quite so much I still have the relatively poor codecs.
The videos are not one hundred percent out calculated as crisp as an export in Premiere or Avid.
Here one should rely on others.

Conclusion: In the end, Magix provides again a nice package, which still suffers however from severe programming errors. Would recommend this company is not always every year a new product launch, but to take care of problems targeted, so could prevail Pro X because of the basis of her it's happy.
But for the amateur it is enough, after all, completely.

Highly recommended 49 Rank: 5/5
