There's no denying that Movie Edit Pro 14 Plus is excellent value for money, especially compared to Adobe's Premiere Elements and Pinnacle's Studio. In fact, MAGIX has thrown everything but the kitchen sink into the Plus version. It's not all rosy though, and we were disappointed by the two weighty - and off-putting - paper manuals and long-winded installation process; the latter is due to the fact that the main program is accompanied by a number of additional bundled programs, including a simple 3D animation program, photo editor and a program for compiling music playlists that you can use as soundtracks for your video projects. And while the interface looks great, it isn't as slick or intuitive as its competitors. Sort out these few annoyances and MAGIX could be onto a winner in the next version. However, for now we recommend you stick to Adobe's Premiere Elements, unless you're on a really tight budget.
