magix is a fine editing program. i really hate using this as an example, but it'll just keep getting bashed if i don't. euphoria was made in magix. in fact, koop edits exclusivly in magix.
and this is coming from a premiere user. it's not often you'll catch me standing up for another program. it's a very good budget program.

Magix doesn't have many simple "click and go" effects. Most things that you want to do you have to create yourself, which takes some time and patience. It's only "half-assed" if that's too much work for you.sagarajack wrote:Magix is a half ass program
I recommand something that has full Pro functions like Adobe products, Avid, Ulead etc
Magix is simple and easy to use. And not too much of a drain on your resources. I'll open it sometimes and leave it open for a week or so, with no ill effects. From what I've heard (though I've never tried it myself) that's a big NO in Premiere.
For the price, you will not find a better program. My version, Magix Movie Edit Pro 11 cost me $25. Go look at the prices of Premiere, Avid, Ulead, etc. And having those doesn't guarantee you a good video. Your video quality will ultimately be based on YOU and not the program.

what she said pretty much sums it up.
if the editor takes time to learn the program, it can be just as powerful as premiere. and for the price, it's a no brainer. magix=win for any budget editor

If you buy Magix for $25 and don't like it, at least all you've given up is a weeks worth of Frappuccinos from Starbucks.Minion wrote:what she said pretty much sums it up.

Euphoria was good because its bar style animation was new....if he used after effect...the video could be even better and possibly save tons of time for him.
There are reasons why Pro programs are expansive. I doubt any of us here actually uses all the functions inside Premiere.
Magix is great for beginners I guess, steping away from Win movie maker and stuff, and actually uses a time line.
btw, stop talking about low budget and crap...like Minion actually bought Premiere.

The program doesn't matter. There are plenty of good AMVs that have been made in even Windows Movie Maker. Euphoria's good because Koop's a good editor, regardless of whether or not he used Magix.sagarajack wrote:Euphoria was good because its bar style animation was new....if he used after effect...the video could be even better and possibly save tons of time for him.

not to jump on the magix bandwangon... but I too think that it's a fine program for any price (and good its only under $50). Now, mind you, there are problems with it (like with most programs), but for the most part, if you're making AMV's with it, it is an awesome program and most of the bugs won't raise their ugly heads unless you plan on making a movie-length version video.Ileia wrote:

I use Magix and find it works fine for my editing style (the claim about being able to leave it open is also true) and if you have creativity you can do a lot with it. One reason I got it is because on my budget I simply can't afford Adobe products, and I find it works just fine if you're willing to invest in it.
