If you want this product to actually work, then do not buy it! The UI is horrible, it resizes everything you don't want it to and the ability to scroll and zoom in and out the time line simply stopped working. I even recorded a video to send to the support for this product, but appearently to get support you have to play for a premium support package costing £9.99. Even though you already bought the software for slightly more then similar products on steam. I found the who process time consuming to do simple tasks such as resizing images, if you hide a bit of UI such as effects view, you can't get it back as the logical place to have it would be in the Window dropdown but it is not, still not found it! Editing text is buggy as hell, it always changes the text of the previous text you created and if you hit backspace to much in the text editor it goes mental and the text box goes in to the menu bar at the top of the software and adds the timeline object in a random location. I am rea...

Error -59 don't buy there are many people with this issue since the app was launched in steam and they just can't repair it

I recently bought this software since I'm in the need of a "self-sufficient" movie editor for my own projects (either tutorial, training and slideshows) and up to now, I found it's stable to me since the recent updates. I'm on Win 10 64 bits with 8 gb ram with Intel HD Graphics (that's what my laptop has) and works fine to me. I made a quick export with default settings for a short slider and the rendering process worked good to me. I'm not very professional at video/audio stuff and it's good to have a replacement for Windows Movie Maker (since the Win store apps there's not a good editor for me). Once i've said it, I would primary use it for joining my screencast from action mirillis and my audio (mostly voiceovers, previously edited with audacity) and then movie edit pro would do the rest. I like the fact that includes several effects,transitions and audios (.ogg format) and video correction (white balance,coloring and so on...), the only down-side I found it's that when I tested the...

The screen capture on the software works very nicely. The video editing and rendering is quick and painless. Overall, this software is great and easy to use. Don't trust the bad reviews, this product works as advertised. So support the developer, you'll be glad to you did.

Been using Magix 2016, while I did not Legitimately own the software it was a good consumer video converter. Now having purchased MAGIX Video deluxe 2017 Plus Steam Edition. It has limited capabilities in short you can't get newer plugins for effects from their store, as the only content is what you get with the purchase. I've seen many negative reviews about the program itself freezing. The program is choosy with the container it wants to read I tested two HEVC encoded videos , one contained in .mkv and one contained in .mp4, it didn't want to export the mkv file resulting in a 2 minute freezing of the program. Do I Recommend MAGIX Video deluxe 2017 Plus Steam Edition? Yes, It's a cheap got it during Autumn Sale 2017 for $7.94 priced accordingly to my region.( Which made it more attractive as buying from the retail site would cost me more). Now for the Bad Reviews I've been reading , Magix does it work and works as advertised. Now A few problems arise that make the program confus...

I purchased this to try out. Wanted something better than a free editor but not as expensive as a more professional software. I didn't even get a chance to test the software out with the 2 hours you get before no longer being elidgable for a refund because even though I closed the software after playing around for a few minutes, steam said it was still running. There was no icon in the system tray to indicate it was still running. I now only have 1 minute left before I won't be able to refund it so I'm just going to do that because I'm not risking the software not working for my needs.

WASTE OF MONEY

Appaling Software that continues to run even when closed, and infact is running now - when I have just turned on my PC even though no tasks are displayed and i can't find a single program or task to execute, rendering it impossible to acquire a refund. Apart from the borderline malware behavior of the software constantly running, it's editing and rendering capabilities are subpar and take far too long for it to be a worthwhile investment for anyone needing to do some serious editing. Stay well away.

Great for editing

Look at how many hours I have in this software! It's one of my most "played" games on Steam... because you can't actually turn it off. Even if you close out of the program it says it's still running. To ACTUALLY close the program, you have to: 1) Close Steam 2) THEN go to your Task Manager 3) End the process from there It doesn't show up in the Task Manager until you close Steam. It's such a hassle. Hopefully someone sees this review just so they don't log another 100 hours into this. Magix, please fix your software.
