MAGIX Movie Edit Pro Plus 2020 is a powerful video editor which comes packed with essential functionality.

The program imports footage directly from digital and analog camcorders, action cams and more, right up to 4K/Ultra HD.

Video novices might start with StoryBoard mode, a simplified interface which shows only the key editing tools. A Soundtrack Maker uses the program's built-in sound archive to generate a soundtrack for you, and the Slideshow Maker can analyze your footage and transform it into a finished video all on its own.

More experienced users can take manual control, organising their movie across 32 tracks, and editing down to frame level, applying new image stabilisation software, powerful colour correction tools, accurate chroma key technology, a versatile sound editor, and a host of highly configurable transitions and effects.

Once you're happy, the finished movie can be exported as a video file, transferred directly to a mobile device, burned to DVD or Blu-ray with your own custom menu design, or uploaded to Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and more.

MAGIX Movie Edit Pro Plus 2020, listed here, extends Movie Edit Pro 2020 with a 99-track timeline, multi-cam editing, import and editing support for 360 degree video, beat-based editing to help your footage match the soundtrack and secondary colour correction.

Note, MAGIX Movie Edit Pro Plus 2020 is called "MAGIX Video deluxe Plus 2020" in certain European countries - they are both the same application.
