Magix Movie Edit Pro 2004 vs other higer priced Editors? |
|
|
Could someone familiar other Editors, like Premiere
or Vagas take a look at Movie Edit Pro 2004.
www.magix.com I was wondering if this lower cost Editor
can really compete with the "Big Boys"?
I don't make much use of an editor, but I have used the
Magix Video Deluxe Plus E to make special motion menu
background clips, add text to some MPEG clips, repair
some audio, ect... and am somewhat impressed with what
it can do. As far as I can figure out the Video Deluxe Plus,
was the last USA version to use the Video Deluxe name,
they seem to be using Movie Edit Pro here in the states now
also.
Unfortunately they aren't offering a Demo download, so
what I was hoping for some kind of comparison based
on the web site description. At only $60 or $50 for the E
Version (Download) the neat audio and CD features as
well as the Cover & Label program extras almost make it
worth it to me. But I'm curious about how it compares
with the better known Editors.
I originally picked-up the "Video Deluxe SE" CD from a
manager's sale table at Comp-USA, for $2.50. They
still have it listed, on an order form that came with my
upgrade, at $9.95. You might find a copy of that on a
under $9.99 rack somewhere.
Luck;
Ken

Ken.. I took a cursory look at it and for someone who doesn't use an editor
much it looks like a capable app for $60.
The truth is, unless I had it here to really compare.. I have no real way of
knowing how well it works. Which formats it doesn't handle etc.
For the price it looks quite robust.

Thanks, for the reply;
I did a Froogle search on Video Deluxe Plus, and found
the Magix Video Deluxe 2.0 Plus at as low as $14USD.
This is the version before the Movie Edit 2004, I think. It's
the one I upgraded to from a $2.50 SE version, and paid
$40 for. (gotta remember to shop BEFORE I buy, not
after) It only uses a "Non-destructive" edit process, which
I like, and can have 32 tracks. It includes a surprisingly
good MPEG Encoder that lets me add text and effects
including blue, green, & croma keying; quickly with no
noticeable loss. The Magix outfit seems to be more into
audio and there are a bunch of audio goodies as well as
integrated audio features that are way over my head.
Luck;
