Customer Reviews

This is the one you want!
This is a great product! I was able to make a complex video in just a few hours without reading the directions. (I have used only one other editing program before buying this). This is perfect for beginners, and after thumbing through the manual, I found there are lots of options for all kinds of advanced projects.

Makes a great video for the price
I've used this program to piece together video clips, photos and music and am very pleased with the end result. No distortion of the images, whether increased or decreased in size. I was using Nero, but my videos ended up with distortion. The transitions are a bit lacking, although there are plenty of them to choose from. Seem dated and not daring enough in what they do and how quickly they do it. But I don't use very many transitions, so it doesn't bother me all that much. I've encountered no tech problems running it on XP.

A downgrade
&I have Movie Edit Pro 2004 & compared to this version it is a downgrade.

When ever you import your video from a digital camcorder it does not capture the cuts accurately. The automatic cuts are not 100% accurate. You will have to do them yourself. Edit pro 2004 did not have these issues. In order to have accurate cuts, you must manually do them yourself & you are potentially adding hours of time to your project. If you don't, then your transitions look horrible. I have contacted their support they admit that there cuts are not 100% accurate.

A quote from tech support "The automatic quotes are not 100% accurate. You will have to do them yourself if you need more accuracies"

That is unacceptable, their previous software versions worked fine.

Buyer Beware.
