AVCHD import assistant with preview function:
Confusing directory structures are finally a thing of the past. It's never been easier to import AVCHD or any other file-based video footage from all sources (memory card, digicam, hard disk, smartphone, etc.). Thanks to the new import assistant, which comes with a handy preview monitor and a clear file overview including preview images for all scenes, selecting scenes is easy. Simply select the desired clips and import them into the timeline.
AVCHD SmartRendering:
Smart: Now, only those areas that you edited will be recalculated during rendering of AVCHD videos.

Optimized memory usage on 64-bit systems:

It simply looks better: We have completely redesigned and modernized many of the dialogs. Apart from optimizing their functionality, the focus was on creating an appealing and modern design.
Intelligent mouse mode:
Adding video scenes subsequently or closing larger gaps used to be difficult, especially in long projects. Thanks to the new intelligent mouse mode, you can now move the entire project behind a video object (on one or all tracks). It's easy, all it takes is a mouse click!
Video monitor zoom and tracker outside the monitor window:
Controlling elements like titles or picture-in-picture effects outside the image area used to be difficult, but thanks to the new zoom function for the video monitor and the trackers outside of the image area, it's now child's play.
Simply reduce the size of the video image in the preview monitor, set keyframes and animate the elements just the way you want.
Apply video effects to selected image portions:
While previously video effects could only be applied to the entire image area, MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus allows you to select any image area and selectively apply effects only to it.
This allows you to easily create selective blurs, artistic color accents or distortions.

Practical:
Editing 3D video footage is just as easy as editing 2D material. You can check the result at any time, simply by switching the preview monitor into 3D mode with a click.
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro supports all 3D camcorders available on the market: For example, Fujifilm FinePix REAL 3D W1 or W3, Aiptek i2, etc.
Our tip:
Movie Edit Pro has been optimized for the brand-new 3D camcorder Panasonic HDC-SDT750. For perfect cinema-quality 3D experiences!
Editing of own 3D recordings made, for example, with two cameras
