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

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

This product may be what some are looking for, but not me. It just wasnt what I was looking for.

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.

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.

My husband who is pretty good at this kind of thing is having an issue getting it installed. He is going to work on it again this weekend and I will update my review on how that goes

I was impressed with the entire editing suite youd pay a lot for this on a pro level and you get a lot of the same features and expansion options here. It makes movie files for you in short order you can use your own source materials it gives you options for bringing in stock footage or slides you can do kind of like PowerPoint but the new version of. It reminded me heavily of paint shop Pro which is my personal preference over Photoshop and stuff like that I have always been a PSP fan for photo editing and such for at least a decade now I started out waiting to be getting and I noticed while not made by the same company the format the feel of the menuing system and everything else is really close which is great because then you can use both of those programs in tandem and not go from one interface totally to something different you can keep that continuity between them. It does come with everything you need in the kit itself the license is what you really after but it does give you options for downloading or installing it although most of us dont have cds/dvds anymore in our equipment or even in our laptops, this will easily come down under your unit and let you get at it right away. If you have that kind of a rig setup. It doesnt seem to tax memory heavily for its processing but obviously the better rig you have the better machine youre using the faster the results youre going to end up seeing at the very end but very nice video software suite.
