PRESS RELEASE: Magix Announces Movie Edit Pro 11 - Powerful Home Video Editing At Great Value


WINNER OF 32 AWARDS - The Software of Choice for Hobbyist Filmmakers for Perfect Video Editing

February 2, 2006, Miami, FL - MAGIX, the market leader for photo, video, and audio software1, announced today the release of MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 11, easy-to-use home video editing software for up and coming filmmakers and hobbyists alike.

Movie Edit Pro 11 is the choice for consumers and semi-professionals to create home movies that the whole family can watch on TV - with surround sound and HD-DVD-Menus.

And Videomaker said, "No video editing software has ever offered so many features for so little money, period," in July 2005.

Movie Edit Pro 11 lets consumers create their videos with support for surround sound, HD-TV, 16:9 widescreen, and Double Layer DVDs.

Story Maker Wizard for Beginners
