Help and Support:  

Magix Movie Edit Pro Plus comes with two user manuals and extensive embedded support. It offers tons of features that may be hard for some to figure out how to use, especially for those editing video for the first time. We found that where the help system might include a description of a particular feature, it lacked step by step instructions for users to follow to use said feature.

Luckily, Magix included four video tutorials that cover all the basics on using Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus, and if you get stuck you can even ask a question of Magix' worldwide user community. The Magix Multimedia Knowledge Community is indeed a plus for Magix, with an active user base, tutorials, FAQs, and Show & Discuss, where users upload their work for public commentary.

You can also contact technical and customer support by email and telephone.

Keep in mind that video editing software is demanding, so if you do not have a high end or newer computer you may have problems working with this software and editing video in general. Though the minimum system requirements are an Intel Pentium IV or AMD Athlon with 1GHz and half a GB or RAM, we would recommend more, such as dual processors, 2GB of RAM and a capable graphics card such as a NVIDIA GeForce 7100 or better. If you run this type of software on a capable system, you will notice fewer problems, edits will process faster and you will likely feel less urge to call technical support.

Overall, Magix Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus is on the right track. They pushed ahead of Sony's Vegas Movie Studio with this new version, thanks to the improved interface and ever present depth of features. Even so, using this software isn't as easy on new users, so we can't quite recommend it for the top three. We still found Movie Edit Pro 15 to be one of the most compatible with portable devices and high definition editing and publishing. Just make sure your system can handle it.
