Krishna Bahirwani sheds more light on Movie Edit Pro 2016 Premium, which is the right combo of performance and accessibility for the semi-professional
Compatibility
The Plus and Premium versions of Magix Movie Edit Pro 2016 Premium allow for 360 degree video editing. With the rise of 360 degree video, new and interesting video projects the world over have been shooting in 360.
While it is capable of editing 360 degree video, it can't create a 360 degree video project just yet. In addition to 360 degree video Magix Movie Edit Pro 2016 Premium can also handle 3D video, and it manages to do so with ease.
Magix Movie Edit Pro 2016 Premium is also capable of something known as proxy editing that manages to make video editing accessible to a lot of enthusiasts who might not have the hardware power to support their vision.
What the software does is, it creates lower-resolution mirror files of your high-resolution shots for the purposes of video editing and production so that you can work on your project without worrying about your computer crashing. Once you are done with your editing project and you want the output in the original resolution, the software allows you to do so.
Correction
Colour correction is something Magix Movie Edit Pro 2016 Premium handles extremely well. You can work with colour using two different types of colour correction, primary and secondary. Primary allows you to do basic things like adjusting the white balance or saturation and also use the colour wheel to correct the colour in the video. Secondary colour correction allows you to really create the look and feel you want by being able to adjust individual colours or make the video black and white. The amount of options available for a software that is priced so reasonably, left me pretty impressed.
Add-ons
Movie Edit Pro 2016 Premium comes with NewBlue Titler EX, NewBlue ActionCam Package and proDAD Mercalli V4 which is software that generally sells for about 547 US Dollars.
NewBlue ActionCam is specifically designed for action camera footage with a host of correction tools that enable things such as contrast and lens correction.
proDAD Mercalli V4 is one of the best tools available in the market for stabilization and CMOS correction. Faster workflows thanks to 64-bit performance Precise video editing on up to 99 tracks
Audio
Audio is another thing Magix Movie Edit Pro 2016 Premium really excels at. This should come as no surprise as the company originally started out as an audio software company. The software offers you a large selection of tools and instruments for mixing, voice overs and dubbing. External effects can be added using the VST plug-in as well. It's levelling capabilities are also great in ensuring you have the same level of audio throughout your project.
Verdict
My experience with Magix Movie Edit Pro 2016 Premium has been one of the best amongst video editing software available today. The ease of use and accessibility were the things that really stood out amongst a host of quality components. The software has everything you need to make the transition from an beginner to a professional and I could not recommend it enough.
