But the beauty of anything, software included, lies in the details. So what I'm saying is even though the software is good and the new graphic look is not necessarily a killer, it puts a strain on your eyes that previous versions didn't. Editing is a painstaking process if you wanna make everything perfect - if the software is not easy on your eyes and on your mind you'll get exhausted before you click Export. While with the older version everything was understandable in a glimpse, now it's all sleek and colored without any gain for the user. Now, it wasn't hard for me to figure out the new design changes but I sincerely believe it's all less intuitive and thus harder for a beginner to learn it. In fact, it creates a new learning curve.

So I salute adding new functionality and effects but changing the design doesn't seem to add any value. Maybe I'm pretentious but I'm coming from using the older versions for about 3 years. If you're working with multiple layers and also doing sound design on different tracks, having tracks go out of your screen is an inconvenience. This means, the timeline is not as clear as it used to be.įor a larger thumbnail view, you have to enlarge the track itself but this means some of the lower tracks will disappear from your screen.

Since the video segment has those lines for setting transparency, it no longer shows you the thumbnail view on its full height. Smaller thumbnails, harder to preview the footage Again, a small graphical hint that would benefit the amateur/beginner videographer.ĥ. They had an inward oriented arrow-like shape that spoke about the nature of the operation: drag me in that direction and I'll create a fade. it doesn't say anything.Ĭonsider the handles in the older versions. If you wanna create a fade in, you select the video and drag that small round pointer. The fade handles are no longer speaking to me The vertical bars are one of those small details that make you feel more comfortable - does that make sense?Ĥ. With all the blank space on the editing tracks, I feel lost. The vertical bars allowed me to position the cursor right between the frames and make the cut. This was particularly useful when doing slow motion or time lapse with footage - sometimes the speed factor would create a extra fraction of a frame at the end of the video segment. When I zoomed in on the track (Ctrl key + arrows keys) for precision editing, those vertical bars would define each frame. Frame by frame bars are gone - I feel lost in space There's a great book about this called: The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures.ģ. If you wanna turn the music down, you have to drag a line within the segment but the segment itself keeps its initial height.ĭear guys at Magix, make it graphically intuitive. Every segment looks more or less the same even if you make changes to it.

When I looked at a video project in Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus it was easy to spot what I had done: Transparency of a video segment is not graphically intuitive If you start adding other media elements on the next track below the video, which still have its native audio embedded, and later you realize you wanna turn down the audio of a clip, what do you do?! You un-link it, it drops over the other elements (music, pictures). This also creates issues with the workflow. This is not intuitive for a beginner.Įspecially when the rest of the programs out there, including PowerDirector (rated no.1 for consumer video editing), automatically place the audio on another track. You don't see it as a segment unless you un-link it from the video. In the 2013 Plus version - the audio is embedded with the video. So it was easy for you to tell whether a video had native audio or not. For instance, when you imported a video file onto the editing track, the audio file that was attached to the video was automatically dropped onto the next lower track.

In the previous version it was easier to understand what was going on.

Audio is invisible unless you un-link it from the video Here's what I don't like in Magix Movie Edit Pro 2013 Plus:ġ. Yet they still call it "for beginners" - but beginners need an easy & intuitive workflow, right? I'd want that. The software is still good (my favorite to work with) but it's not as intuitive as it used to be. Well, I think Magix has done just that with the 2013 Plus version of their Movie Edit Pro.

You know that feeling when a software that you've been using for a while gets an update that makes it different but not necessarily better?
