I’ve been doing video editing for roughly 12 years, and I’ve used such software as iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, even the problematic Adobe Premiere. They’re all good software, but as my skills increased, so did my need for something more capable. Luckily MAGIX has a line of video editing software named Movie Edit Pro. Movie Edit Pro 2014 Premium has a number of features, including precise video editing on up to 99 tracks, full 4K and HD support for AVCHD/HDV camcorders and action cameras and full Stereo3D support, 4K and HD editing, secondary color correction, multicam editing (for two cameras), and over 1500 unique effects and templates.

MAGIX is back again to help users do what they want, for a fraction of the competition’s price. This time, it’s with Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 9 (PGD9), a program that claims to be “much faster than many competitor’s products and produces files that can be 10x or more smaller,“ as well as “The Best Photo Software For The Best Price.”

I’m sure at some point in our lives, we all want to make music. Unfortunately, not all of us are musically inclined, so that makes things tough. Thankfully, MAGIX has come to the rescue with its Music Maker series of software, letting you “Make Your Own Music.” I first came across MAGIX, late last year while returning to video editing. I needed better software than just Windows Movie Maker. An acquaintance on Twitter, Constantin Gabor @highballsport suggested I try Movie Edit Pro. I did and subsequently bought the software. Initially, I was skeptical because it was only $70. Normally media editing software that cheap isn't very good. BOY WAS I WRONG. I love it! If I knew beforehand I would've purchased Plus or even Premium.
