An Adequate Editing Software With a Moderate Learning Curve

The setup itself was relatively simple, and if you don’t have a disc drive, there is an online download option that is also available, which is what I used. HOWEVER, do not use the voucher key to activate the software. The voucher key is intended to be submitted on their website, where you will have to create an account and MAGIX will send you an email with the actual serial number to activate the software after you use the voucher code to claim it. The actual serial number is all numbers (at least for me) while the voucher code is a mix of letters and numbers while also being shorter in length. As long as you don’t get confused on that part, the software itself is extremely easy to install and activate. Afterwards you’ll have the option of installing bonus content and you're done.
The software is largely unappealing in its overall interface setup at first glance, but it does have a lot of features available to use once you get over the learning curve that you will inevitably face if you have never used this software before. The software has multiple tabs and scroll lists to choose various effects, lighting styles, templates and more, and it (at least with the platinum version I got) also has around 6GB of additional content you can download and use for your projects. There are also your typical editing layout modes like most editors such as the Storyboard and Timeline mode, but I almost always only use the timeline mode and nothing else. Dragging clips, photos, and audio files into the various tracks are super simple, and you can even expand individual tracks to get a better look at thumbnail previews throughout the selected file. The files are also very easy to splice together, and the crossfades look very nice while also offering numerous fading effects. I included a couple screenshots above of the software interface; one is of the default experience in storyboard mode when opened for the first time, and the second is of a video compilation I was working on in Timeline mode. I blurred these portions to protect my content, but I hope it’s enough to demonstrate the overall layout.
The software is also very smooth and I have had no issues with delays during video scrubbing and playback. Rendering time is also respectable, although it is not the greatest. I should mention that I have 32GB of RAM and a Ryzen 7 7700X in my PC, so your performance may vary depending on your system specs.
Going back to the learning curve, the software doesn’t not have an initial tutorial guide like some other programs, and it will take some time to learn where everything is and how to use it if you are new. This could be an issue for some, especially for those new to editing videos in general. While it does have a lot of features, I wouldn’t recommend this software as a first choice option mainly due to the learning curve. While you can watch online tutorials others have made or figure it out as you go, there are still other options if you prefer ease of use over functionality.
Overall, this is a long running software that has still managed to live on after all these years and still works great. For the current discounted cost (at the time of writing), it’s not a bad option as it gives you the most features at the best value, but if it returns to its original higher cost valuation, then I would suggest getting PowerDirector at that point as it would then cost roughly the same but with a much easier learning experience, better interface, and faster rendering but at the cost of a few minor features. In the end, it’s all up to what works best for you and what your projects are. For high level productions such as short films, animations, or professional videos, I would recommend something beyond what both PD and MMS can offer, but this will work great for most content creation especially for editing gaming videos, making low production skits/parodies, or compilations. If you are just doing scrapbooking or very basic videos, then there are also some excellent freeware options as well.
