Magix software is horrible -- buyer beware! This application is loaded with bugs and is poorly documented. Magix quality control for their software is basically non-existent. If you're masachistic and enjoy purchasing software that leads to hours of frustration, then buy this software; otherwise, avoid the headaches. My review for this software is two thumbs down!

The main problem I have with Magix Movie Edit Pro 14 is that they tell you what you can do without telling how to do it. Several instances in the manual tell you to click on a particular drop down but I can't find anything by that name or what they're referring to or it is called something different than what the Manual indicates. You spend a lot of time wondering just what to do next. Videos are rendered very well and I had no trouble saving under different file types. There are too many transitions here to mention but in some instances I couldn't figure out how to remove the transition which is a snap in Corel's Video Studio. All in all, Magix has a pretty good product here, it's just that it would take the patience of the Pope to figure it all out.

I agree 100% with the comments--HOWEVER- If you do take the time (and believe me, there's a LOT of time to be taken) the rewards are great. I love my Magix Movie Edit Pro 14 and am STILL learning new tricks on it..and I'm not the Pope! I think the dedicated MEP users are more a Jedi-like cult--you either love it or are put off by the learning curve.
