    It edits videos well. I did have one problem that I had to reset my whole computer and re download. But since then have not had anymore issues knock on wood. Have been able to speed up slow mo videos covert cut and join different videos. Make videos by just using pictures. Real easy to use. Add music to videos. Use to post videos on YouTube and cut to share via cellphone. You can adjust sound in different parts slow and speed up different parts of the video. Does take awhile to export/render. Not sure why it has to convert a MP4 into a MP4 and take four hours to do this. But over all I am satisfied with this program.

    While this software is not the top of the line, it is very useful for basic video editing and is easy to navigate. I had very little trouble creating my first video and the quality is much better than any of the free stuff on the internet.

    I found the interface to be very clunky and needed an oline tutorial before use. Once I did that it served its purpose

    This program was much easier to use than one we used a few years ago. The slideshow that we made for my mom's 80th birthday party turned out terrific. We had so many compliments on it.

    I didn't want a expensive program and this one fit my budget. It does what I needed it to do. However, it needs a how to book for some features.

    Total waste of purchase cost - unusable

    I was never able to use the product; endured multiple efforts to receive assistance from product support; and finally disposed of the installation disk and recycled the packaging. The installed software would not work allegedly because files necessary for many functions did not exist in my operating system. The only suggestion provided by support was to download and install material from Microsoft to ensure that my version of Windows was up to date. I followed the suggestions even though my system was up to date in the first place. Further, the support personnel apparently did not understand how to open simple jpeg files I sent to them to illustrate to error messages their software was producing.

      Dear Emsolo,
      I am sorry to hear you never resolved your issue with technical support. In some situations and in some errors it might be some Windows components are not installed so it would be suggested by our team to update these. This is just a general comment as I am not familiar with your actual case and issue. Support will work with you though till the issues are resolved so there is no need to throw out the software.

    Doesn't work - Won't activate

    Even though I registered the product, the program keeps giving me an error message saying that it can't activate the product. I called customer service during posted business hours, and I still received a voice message. The only solution customer service provided (via email), was to take the product back to Best Buy and have them activate the product. Best Buy had no clue what I was talking about, and since I opened the box to get the activation code....of course I couldn't get my money back.

      Dear EricB,
      Sorry to hear you are having problems activating your software. Our customer service has been very busy lately so getting through on the phones might be a bit difficult. In such cases I would recommend you send us an email through support.magix.net and select customer service.

    I used this to make a sort of slideshow. I combined both pictures and trimmed down videos from my phone and had it play to music I could put in the background. Easy to set timing, transitions and volume control. It was the first time I tried anything like this and the software was easy to figure out.

    This movie edit pro is a nice program. At first i couldnt figure it out because i was use to using a different program. After a couple of minutes of messing around it became so much easier. It does most of what a more expensive program would do.

    You must take the time to learn this software. There is a lot of trial and error learning this software. If you have the time it will do the job.

    Nice program but very disappointed with ability to use. In order to use with my professional grade camera/recorder I was required to purchase additional video enoding system. Not an option for me.... already spent more on program than I should have.
