It's fine, ask away! In terms of Avid. Adobe was a program that reflects a lot of others out there that was designed by programmers, to me Avid on the other hand was designed by Editors. So I wouldn't say that the workflow is better, but I would say that things feel a tad bit more intuitive. As for the reason that I dont use it.... comes down to cold hard deniros (or lack there of).</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-video-pro-x-opinions#post-50057 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:26:26 +0000 NormanWillis 50057@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I hope you don't mind my asking you so many questions, but my assumption is that you know a lot.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-video-pro-x-opinions#post-50054 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:17:36 +0000 NormanWillis 50054@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&gt;&gt;Um, so what's the deal with Avid?  And why do you choose CS3, Magix and After Effects over Avid?</p> <p>I do not mean to hijack this thread.  I guess I'm just trying to determine if there is a 'hypothetical ideal' video program on the PC platform, so I can go to it, and then get on with it.  So far I like Vegas a lot, and it is very easy to use, but I have noticed some limitations. </p> <p>Is there such a thing as an 'ideal app'?  Does Avid qualify?  Or why are you using Magix when you probably have access to Avid?</p> <p>I hope you don't mind all of my questions.  If I should start a different thread, please just say so.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-video-pro-x-opinions#post-50050 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:27:54 +0000 NormanWillis 50050@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><em>&gt;&gt;Knowing what I know now though, sometimes I edit originally with CS3 then drop things into Video Pro X, and finally dump them into After Effects or Vegas for additional color correction if I need it.</em></p> <p>Do you use Debugmode Frameserver, or anything?  Or do the files just dump straight across?</p> <p>I'm with Vegas for now.  I keep asking myself if I will transition to Avid on my next machine upgrade, because Avid is supposed to have an allegedly faster workflow?</p> <p>Um, so what's the deal with Avid?  And why do you choose CS3, Magix and After Effects over Avid?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-video-pro-x-opinions#post-50038 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:52:34 +0000 Tom Skowronski 50038@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Yes it gives you a few different filters, better color correction and the overall workflow is much different. However, if you already went with Vegas I see no reason to add another editing program. Knowing what I know now though, sometimes I edit originally with CS3 then drop things into Video Pro X, and finally dump them into After Effects or Vegas for additional color correction if I need it.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-video-pro-x-opinions#post-50035 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:59:36 +0000 NormanWillis 50035@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Charles.</p> <p><em>&gt;&gt;Well, within reason...

Yes Magix Video Pro X is a great program for 3 reasons:</p> <p>1.) User Friendly</p> <p>2.) Professional Level Editing</p> <p>3.) Price</p> <p>First up, it is way too easy to do everything that was hard to figure out in Premeire or FCP as a beginner. The first time I looked at this program I could pick it up and figure it out. Everything from unlinking tracks, to mixing audio to creating advanced and heavily layered filters over the video. Just so easy!</p> <p>Second, I thought that since I had never heard of the program, it would well suck! And no, I was very wrong. It could take in AVCHD, made ripping from CDs understandable for me and exporting was very simple. The point here is, whatever advanced piece of the puzzle I needed it could do plus it made things easy.</p> <p>And lastly, seriously it's cheap! Better deal than a lot of the other bigger more widely known options....</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-video-pro-x-opinions#post-49982 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 19:37:31 +0000 cfulton 49982@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Well, within reason...
