MAGIX Movie Studio Suite 2023 – For memories that last forever | Video editing software | Video editing program | for Windows 10/11 PC | 1 download license

I dont shoot that much video, but I do shoot some and I am always interested in anything that might make my editing job simpler. I already have a different Magix program which I like so I thought I would try their video editor. I received a DVD installation package and as I do have a DVD drive I chose to install that way. It can be done as a download version if you do not have a suitable drive. The installation can only be described as S-L-O-W. It took 22 minutes from start to finish for the full installation of the video editor only. Rather annoyingly to my mind I then had to take the voucher code that came with the DVD and go to the companys website to redeem it. The only way to redeem it is to create an account. Most people buying software like this will create an account anyway so I see this extra step to get a serial number as totally unnecessary. Anyway, some 30 minutes after I first started the installation I managed to get the program up and running. I am used to using video editors already so even though it was an unfamiliar interface many of my previously learnt techniques allowed me to get started quickly. If you have never used a video editor before then I would suggest watching the introduction video. The program is surprisingly fully featured considering the price level, which is great for anyone hoping to do a little more than the most basic of basics. I found the tool tips which appear whenever you mouseover any of the buttons to be a useful feature. One aspect I did find a little odd is that the play button once activated defaults to stop rather than pause. I am used to the pause function being there and I do miss it. The stop wouldnt be quite so bad if it stopped the video at that point but it doesnt. It reverts to the start of the movie. The program for me was very stable. I did not experience any glitches or crashes which some reviewers had mentioned. I am using the latest version of 64-bit Windows 11 on a desktop. The desktop is running an i7 processor with 48GB of RAM and an Nvidia GPU along with a 4K monitor. The minimum system requirements are given on the listing and are surprisingly low for such a fully featured editor. I am sure that I still have a lot to learn as regards everything that this editor can do but anyone with a little experience will be able to produce an acceptable video fairly quickly. It is also possible to upload your movie to YouTube or Vimeo from within the program. Overall, I am pleased with the features the editor has and I will continue to use this and learn its in and outs. For the asking price, this is a very comprehensive editor. I do wish it was faster to install and that they would do away with having to play with two long alphanumeric codes.

I installed on my new Microsoft Surface Book 3, 64 bit Windows 11 Home, Intel Core i7 CPU, RAM 32GB, GPU Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 It is a 1.2 GB download. I have 300 Mbps download speeds, but the download was throttled at the server, it took 20 minutes to download plus 10 minutes for install and configuration. Installation and registration went smooth at that point. There are some nice tutorials, click on Help-> Multimedia Community, this brings you to a webpage with several videos to help you get started. I installed some add-ons, which included demos, templates, effects, etc. The product does come with some audio files for adding to your project, you can always download your own. After all the setup and addons, I used the wizard to create a nice video merging my videos, and still pics, with transitions and music in no time. Do not try to install this on PC/laptop with older graphics cards. On my first attempt I installed this on an computer that did not have a compatible graphic card and received an error when attempting to run the software. I would think during installation, the computer specs would be checked and if not compatible, a message would appear at that point. A waste of 30 minutes. The support FAQs confirmed the error.

Software has glitches all over the place. No good. I had the old Vegas and never had an issue.

Had my computer savvy son install it for me & he had no problems. Since this is my 1st video editing software experience it did have a learning curve for me. I love that now I can take my content and add music to it & create such amazing videos. Very happy.

Buggy. Ill have to use an older version of Vegas. Never should have bought this. No wonder its on specia.

I received 2 different versions of this software. This Suite being the larger version. It was kind of a pain to get everything installed because of the different licenses and serial numbers you have to register for in order to activate everything and there is still 1 part that I dont think I have installed yet. As far as the use of the software is concerned, I am still very new at using this and I will admit that I am very much a beginner when it comes to editing video. I am a professional photographer and have been shooting for about 35 years. However, I never shot video let alone edited it. This software is pretty easy to use and I am starting to get the hang of it. I have 4 or 5 other programs that I have been testing and so far this is in my top2 for ease of use for a beginner. I think the few negatives I have are more my fault then the software. Overall I am happy with this program other that it only being for a PC. I wish I could run it on my mac!

I am not a content creator but rather just someone who likes to save vacation photos and video in an easy to watch format. Been messing around with varying stitching programs for years for MP4s and did not realize Magix made this program until a few days ago. I have previously been using an Magix photostory 7 for putting photos into a video slideshow that we can stream to our TVs or phones from our NAS. As we are getting ready to go on a cruise for a milestone anniversary, I wanted to get an updated version of that program. That is where I saw this one for video. It is pretty much the same interface with some video editing tools and it was cheap enough to give it a try. Just made a couple of quick clips from some test videos and it was pretty simple to work with. Got this and photostory 2023 the complete versions and both are very similar to work with.

This program was easy to install. It has an older style of layout and there is definitely a learning curve to using it. Some of the functions are better in other video editing software such as trimming video. Overall it works and gets the job done for creating home videos of all my footage and adding music to them along with using the transition effects.

I had an older version of this but wanted to update to the latest and greatest. When you purchase this, you receive a package with a CD and a slip of paper with a code on it. You can install off the CD, if you have an optical drive, but youll probably have to immediately update it, so just get the download to start with. Maybe it was just a bad day, but Magixs servers were painfully slow. The download took over an hour. You also have to go to a website, enter the code, and then they email you the actual license code you need. Thats an unnecessary step - but it gets worse. The email with the license code also includes codes for the Newblue packs that are included. You need to download and install them, which involves restarting Magix several times and a separate application manager to handle the expansion packs. However, they show up in the manager as trial versions. The codes that came in the email do not work in the manager to register them. Instead, you have to go into Magix Movie Studio, to the effect menu, and find the entries for each. THAT screen finally has the actual codes that you need to activate them. Once you get through all the hoops, the software works and doesnt require a monthly fee like other editors. Just allow time to get it set up.

Was really excited to get this software and start doing some more advanced editing for my business for social posts. The software comes with a card with a voucher code that youre supposed to go to a website and register, which then should send you an email with your serial number, that you can then use to register the actual software. Confused yet?? Well, when I plugged in my voucher code, sure enough I got an email a few minutes later... with a coupon for $15 off at the Magix software store. This was supposed to be a full license. Complete scam. I reached out to the customer support email. Now going on day three with no response from them.
