MAGIX Movie Studio 2024 Platinum: Creative video editing for everyone | Video editing program | Video editor | for Windows 10/11 PCs | 1 PC license

Tried the downloaded version, it’s rubbish and the support is in German. Binned it. Rubbish adding.

I had some old camcorder videos digitised and wanted to smarten them and create sharper edits. I also had a load of holiday video on my iPhone that I wanted to turn into a something I could add to YouTube. I had a look around for available software and Magix movie studio seemed to have on reviews and was priced well for a hobbyist like me.I have found the software ok, but it can be unreliable.The Good: Fairly intuitive and pretty straightforward importing video and creating simple edits. There are loads of features and once you get stuck in you will want to start playing with zooms, audio cleaning, and the large variety of digital effects on offer.It can become quite complicated quite quickly, but there are loads of videos on YouTube that can help explain most things, and once you get the hang of the software trial and error is a great way to learn as long as you have patience.Overall I have managed to take some oldCamcorder footage, cut it together, change the colouration, improve the audio somewhat and add video effects.The Bad: The software is prone to crashing, so save often (there is an auto save function).I find the software can also be frustratingly glitchy. Clips sometimes disappear, or fades rearrange themselves randomly which means some sections I had to go over a few times. Audio sometimes disappears so you end up having to ‘restore original audio’ even though you didn’t touch the audio on the first place.Audio has also created problems elsewhere. There is a function where you can split the audio and the video onto two separate tracks and decouple them. This is really useful if you want to cut a different clip in to a section but keep the audio from the first clip. Or in this case, you want to remove some of the audio from a clip. However I have had persistent problems with this. After removing some of the audio, I find that it reappears even though there is no visual element on the timeline to represent it. Suddenly your project becomes a house of cards and fixing one thing creates a problem elsewhere and i have to revert to a back up. If you have a particular complication project on the go, this is a big problem.So overall you get a lot of features for your money and the software is easy to use, however it can be unreliable and with every edit or change I make, I end up going back over the project to make sure nothing else has gone awry.Incidentally, I had no problems with the registration and installation. Other reviewers have expressed frustration with this, but it’s not a deal breaker by any means.

I have used magix video editing software for many years so have had no problem adapting to the new version.it is good for newbies and for more advanced editors.plenty of features for the more experienced.renders far faster than previous versions

on my pc help was slow sent it back hope i get more help with next one
