Review by Jerry Saperstein

Long ago - only a few years actually - I was a big fan of Magix products.

They delivered tremendous value for the money even though they were often unstable.

That was then: this is now.

The budget movie editing software market has lots of entries. MACIX Movie Edit Pro is just one of them and while not at all bad, it is not a stand out.

Cyberlink PowerDirector, TrakAx inexpensive and very much worth trying), Adobe Premiere Elements, Corel VideoStudio, all of them and more provide virtually identical features.

MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 2016 isn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination. The Plus version for a few dollars more is a better selection.

Stability on an Intel i7 box running Windows 10 was okay: I had no crashes, though I didn’t work the program really hard.

If you’ve used other video editing programs, there really isn’t a learning curve. If you’r enew to video editing, download the manual from the Magix site and the trial version and grant yourself the time to work through it. Don’t assume that you’ll instantly be a competent video editor.

On the whole, MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 2016 is a pedstrian offering: nothing bad, nothign really great. It will get the job done for you as long as the job isn’t very demanding.
