Video Editing Software - Movie Edit Pro 15 Reviews

Magix Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus has a solid upgrade to version 14, with a slew of new features and extras. You still get a ton of slick effects, transitions, audio tracks and photo video editing options, but version 15 also includes the following upgrades:
* Multi-cam editing: Record and edit two video channels live and at the same time
* Smoother and simpler AVCHD video importing and editing
* Larger library of customizable 2D and 3D title effects
* New DVD and Blu-ray menu templates
* New proDAD Adorage video effects
* Improved color correction interface makes it easier to adjust color values in a snap
* Improved batch processing lets you select entire video folders to convert, instead of one at a time

Magix Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus also has editing and publishing tools for amateurs and a good collection of editing tools for those familiar with more complex editing tasks, such as bluescreen edits, timeline and storyboard layout, multi-track editing and more.

Stand Out Features:
* Easily publishes to YouTube
* Compatible with portable devices like Sony PSPs, iPods and cell phones
* Includes iClone for 3D animation
* Supports up to 99 tracks
* Screen capturing feature for streaming video
Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus by Magix can import nearly all common video, audio and image file types. You can either drag and drop videos into the timeline, or use one of the many importing tools found throughout the program. In terms of video it can import AVI, DV-AVI, MPEG (1,2,4), MXV, MJPEG, Quicktime and HD WMV. It can also capture analog type files such as video from old VHS tapes or TV. If you would like to add an audio file or clip to your video you can import WAV, MP3, OGG, WMA, MIDI, Dolby Digital Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1 file types. It can also support JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIF, TGA and more image file types and most scanner and digital camera formats.

One of the most frustrating things about video editing software is its tendency to hog system resources, and it's infuriating when you've spent hours on a video only to have it crash your computer right before you were about to save your project. Of the many upgrades Magix made for version 15, smoother editing is by far one of the most noticeable. Where we experienced some lag and choppy behavior in the previous version, editing the same videos on the same system with version 15 went much better.

Editing with Magix 15 Plus has been streamlined, with a more intuitive interface that makes it easy to use storyboard and timeline layouts, and split, divide, crop and trim scenes. It can configure video for wide screens and it has video correction tools such as stabilizers, filters and color and contrast adjustment abilities. Of course, it also has real-time previews so you can see your added effects right away, so you can quickly decide whether you want to keep your edits or not.

Overall, Magix Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus is on the right track. They pushed ahead of Sony's Vegas Movie Studio with this new version, thanks to the improved interface and ever present depth of features. Even so, using this video editing software isn't as easy on new users, but Movie Edit Pro 15 in fact is one of the most compatible with portable devices and high definition video editing and publishing software.
