With digital video cameras becoming increasingly popular, there's a growing demand for user-friendly video editing software that can handle footage from a variety of sources.
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 18 Plus is one of those apps. It allows you to import videos from DV cameras, HDV cameras and video tapes, as well as use video files stored on your local computer, create copies of CD and DVD, and record video directly from your PC. This offers exciting new possibilities to create your own video slideshows with your own menus and extras.
Once your project is loaded on the program's interface, MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 18 Plus lets you work on it with a full-featured video editing tool that includes image filters, transition effects, fades and titles, as well as add a background soundtrack as the perfect complement.
What makes MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 18 Plus different from other versions of this video editor is that this one seems to be more professionally oriented. It supports up to 99 tracks, features complete HD workflow and can sync recordings from two different cameras, among other characteristics.
While the program makes maximum use of processing power while cutting, recalculating and arranging video files, it still requires a pretty powerful system for a smooth, seamless experience. Also, if this is the first time you have used a video editor, I'd strongly advise you to take a look at the Help menu: MAGIX Movie Edit Pro may seem a bit overwhelming, but luckily it's also very well documented.
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 18 Plus is an excellent video editor that includes all the necessary tools to handle HD video, titles, video effects and sound.
