Blog Post #2: MAGIX Movie Edit Pro Plus 17

Greetings, all promising movie editors!

Just recently in CyberArts everyone was assigned to re-cut a movie/ video game trailer using sounds and music to change its genre using iMovie. iMovie seemed to limit my creativity too much so I hunted around and discovered a new movie editing software- MAGIX Movie Edit Pro Plus 17! It used to be an audio-editing only software, but recent versions have expanded it to video as well. It's not a very expensive software either, compared to others: $100. Here's a screenshot of the software in action (I found it uploaded on the website among others):



And here's a picture of what the package looks like if you want to buy it:




The thing I like best about this software is how much freedom you have with it. You can mess around with the sounds, fades, and video to your heart's content and it's not even that difficult to learn. The things I needed to know to make the Oliver Twisted trailer I found in the manual and in the Help section on the software itself. It's a software I would highly recommend for promising movie and sound editors.

Thanks for this posting. You certainly did a wonderful job with it on your Oliver Twisted trailer. I wonder how Final Cut Express will compare.
