MAGIX Video easy HD is a beginner-friendly video editor.
A straightforward wizard helps you import your video from a camera or local file. Automatic scene detection then splits the movie into distinct scenes, and you're able to delete or trim these, and use tools to automatically fix colour and exposure issues, or stabilize shaky footage.
If these corrections aren't enough then you're able to manually tweak brightness, colour, saturation and hue, while there's also an option to fix out-of-sync audio.
You get lots of transitions - everything from simple pans and zooms to full 3D morphs - and there are also tools to add captions, credits, set fast or slow motion, record a narration and apply a few basic effects ("old movie", black and white, vignette, zooms, moves, black bar removal and so on).
The finished movie may be shared online at Facebook, YouTube and others, saved as a local video, exported to a mobile device, burned to a DVD or Blu-ray (with menus), and more.
IMPORTANT: this demo version only exports, burns or saves a maximum of three minutes from any project. Purchasing a licence removes this restriction.
Please note, the Video easy HD setup program may try to install additional programs. Watch closely during setup, and clear the relevant checkboxes for anything you don't want.
Verdict:
Video editing really doesn't get much easier than this. And the results can be impressive, too.
