Video Editing Software Review: MGI VideoWave 4 (page 2)
The Audio
When we went to the Audio window, we could add up to six sound tracks to a clip and we could adjust the volume in relation to individual clips. Unfortunately, we couldn't add, adjust or otherwise tweak audio for more than one clip at a time. Since we were making a music video, this feature was a drawback. The only way we found to get around this limitation was to create a movie and then re-import it as if it was one scene; then we could add our music in one go. We found that this limitation isn't only for music, it applies to other audio, like narration and sound effects, as well.
Finished Project
Although the shortcomings in the audio features leaves room for improvement, at VideoWave 4's modest price point it is a good introduction to video editing. But if you're hoping to eventually move into more advanced editing with this program, you will be disappointed. In general, with VideoWave 4, you can test the waters without risking too much expense.
