"Crashes, bugs, incredibly slow using multiple fram"
Version: Magix Movie Edit Pro Plus 2013
Pros
It's fairly easy to use. The interface is pretty easy. Some of the pre-set effects are cool. Importing and exporting is easy.
Cons
Why one star?
1. It's really buggy and slow. I have a laptop that runs intensive audio recording software, graphic software and has absolutely no problems. When trying to edit in Magix, the video is jerky as soon as I put in a cross-fade. Trying to do custom picture in picture effects was all but impossible because I couldn't see what I was doing.
2. It crashes. I know every program will crash from time to time but Magic 2013 seems to be special in this regard.
3. Applying effects sometimes changes elements completely unrelated. For instance, applying a position change to a video changed text in a separate part of the movie.
4. Pre-sets not working or uneditable.
5. Menu function was slow, buggy and hard to use.Summary
I would never buy this product nor recommend it to a friend. It was bought by my boss and provided to me to do editing. It's unbelievably frustrating and I spend more time looking up fixes, redoing my work, or figuring out how to do thing differently because it's so hard to achieve a decent quality result in Magix.

"Apprehensive about using Magix Edit Pro 2013."
Version: Magix Movie Edit Pro Plus 2013
Pros
I am a Movie Edit Pro 14 user.Seems to be lacking pros based on user feedback & comments about this version of Magix Pro 2013.
Cons
Do know because of apprehension to using the product based on reviews.
Summary
Seems to be lacking pros based on user feedback & comments about this version of Magix Pro 2013. This kind of reminds me of how fast-food chains operate. 1. They give you the best of their product at a nominal price. 2. They add something to the original product and hike the price. 3. They scale back on the product, but keep the price up and try to justify it by offering coupons for savings. This is not a great way to do business with consumers who are seeking the max and will pay for it, if its maintaining some standards & quality. Otherwise, the consumer will jump ship and try another brand in hopes of getting better results.
These companies ought to realize the value of keeping their customer base satisfied by maintaining the core & integrity of a product that got them into a prestigious spot. Its like they "forgot" how they went from zero to 100. If they are introducing new versions/upgrades to products - TEST THEM BEFORE YOU RELEASE IT!!!. As a consumer, I like the trial versions that are offered. It gives you a chance to drive it around the block without having to commit to buying it and being "horribly" disappointed. That's the Bill Gates theory. Let the consumer tell us where the bugs are and we'll consider fixing them for an upgrade charge. BAD Business practice!!! If you want my hard-earned bucks...give me a better taste of the pie. With all of the social media and blogs - it won't take long before your name is MUDD in the industry. Shape up! You know you can do better than that!!! -

"not the same facilities as before."
Version: Magix Movie Edit Pro Plus 2013
Pros
Faster than previous versions
Cons
Price
Options for titlesSummary
I'm trying it on 30 day trial. I alredy have the version 14 which although slower to respond has some better features such as a separate title editor, much easier to use. This latest version is extremely difficult to edit titles over the actual video, as it appears to me you must?
I am using the trial of this for about 2 weeks. I have used other Movie editors from Magix for years so am not a novice to their products.

This one is next to useless, it's a problem saving 3 minute files, although at the bottom it goes thru the motions, sometimes it takes 3 attempts before successful..
The black/grey interface is almost unreadable causing serious eyestrain.
I could go on & on but don't wish to waste any more time.
My system:
Case Cooler Master Elite 360 - Mini tower - ATX CPU CPU
CPU - Intel Core i7 2600K / 3.4 GHz - LGA1155 Socket - L3 8 MB
Motherboard - Asrock Z68 PRO3-M Micro-ATX Motherboard
Memory Corsair - CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 - Memory - DDR3 1333 - 8 GB
Graphics Card None ................ i7 3000, I tried a GT520 Slower than the integrated Intel, sent back!
Hard Drive - Western Digital Caviar Black - Internal Hard Drive 3.5 "- 1 TB SATA III
Power Supply Be Quiet - BQT L7-530W - PC Power Supply - ATX - 530 W. Not so QUIET not good, buy another.
Updated on May 9, 2013This is my second edition of Movie Edit Pro program. The first was also a problem, but nothing like this!
I bought it because it was cheap and a later version.
It worked for a few months with only minor(yes I call them MINOR)! problems like already mentioned. Then after purchasing the MP4 codec from them, I think that's a scam. No other editing programs charge extra to make them work?
Then I had to reinstall W7..... that was when it caused major problems.
It crashed often, also I could not import MP4 or any other files at all.
I contacted the seller who said Magix would sort it out direct.
I have been in contact with Magix for several months, they respond to emails, but were of no help. Finally, they asked me to download SYSCHECK, a software that allows them control of your PC .................. no thank you!
I lost a part of my life because of it, re-installed 7 or more times etc etc
I give it 1 star, but would prefer - yes minus 5 stars if it was possible.
