1. I have been running cool edit for years now, and now im using Adobe Audition.
   It has been an inconvieniance during recording that i have to be so close to the computer to re-start recording for many takes.
   This device installed with no drivers needed in XP, also set itself up for Adobe Audition to control the software.
   i can hit record, stop, rewind, play,..whatever.
   
   this device has been exactly what i haev been wanting for a while now with Cool edit and Adobe audition.
   
   for the price? its a steal really, and the large backlit screen is pretty techie as well.. pretty posh.

1. This cad program is fine if you are a pro at using cad programs but I would avoid it if you are a novice. The makers tried to incorperate too many functions in single modes thus making it harder to use. Since I can't return it I purchased the 9.2 version which I believe is a easier program to use than this one. I uninstalled this program and reinstalled my 9.2 version and glad I did.

1. This book reminded me of the old Victoria Holt, Phyliss Whitney books. Lots of foggy coast intrigue, it even had an old diary that revealed long hidden secrets. I hated for it to end.



2. If you're looking for a completely engrossing "curl up and read on a cool fall day, kind of book, HOLD BACK TIME is for you. I was totally absorbed with the story because it has all the qualities that I look for in a story...adventure, mystery, and romance. Definitely a real page-turner to the end. I would recommend this book and will be watching for Allene Frances' next novel.

1. I realized I needed a program like this when I purchased a new notebook and needed to transfer my music from my iPod to my computer. This is such an easy setup. In no time, I was uploading my music to my new laptop. It was quick and easy. The box says it will unlock the power of the iPod. It truly does! I recommend this software to anyone!
   
   Update. This product sucks bad! I understand that my vista os isn't compatible with a lot of stuff, but it started to screw up my sister's computer as well (xp). Horrible product!

5 comments about Movie Edit Pro 10.

1. One of the best editing programs but BEWARE if you plan on making home movies over 20 min. you will more than likely run into crashes...I have used this program on two computers, one is a $3000 machine with a 4400 processor...still crashes.



2. I was in Pinnacle hell after I finished a week's worth of video-editing for my wife's upcoming birthday--I was creating a DVD for her when the program started randomly deleting some of my video and photo clips and seizing my brand new, dual processor computer. I've also used Nero, but we all know that crappy software limits you to 99 media objects per slideshow and doesn't allow you to combine video and photo together. I broke down and returned to Best Buy for my no-kidding last try at a reasonable software package. Well, Movie Edit was the only other thing they had! I was really nervious, mainly because of the price. If Pinnacle can sell their TRASH for $100, then I must be getting absolute junk for $50 in Movie Edit Pro 10. I couldn't have been more wrong. Compared the 3 editing softwares mentioned here, this is the EASIEST software to use, has more CAPABILITIES (16 tracks!), and costs just a fraction than the rest. During my week in hell with Pinnacle, my system seized at least 17 times. I've already made 2 DVDs with this software (approx 10-15 minutes in length) and still have yet to seize my computer. I love how any object can be placed anywhere on the timeline tracks--this makes it SO easy to create awesome-looking movies. Furthermore, it didn't take me very long to get used to the functionality -- everything seems much more user-friendly than Pinnacle. AND it doesn't bog your system down. I'm working on DVDs, but I still have a bunch of other programs open at the same time. Even more: while Nero took in excess of 70-80 minutes to burn my previous 5-minute DVDs (Pinnacle only crashed my system every time I tried it), Movie Edit only took about 18 minutes to burn a 15-minute DVD. What a difference! Movie Edit saved me--I can't wait for my wife's birthday--I know she's going to be very happy, too!!



3. By reading the previous reviews. I have mixed feeling, of course I have done very complicated projects some over 30 minutes long. It's a RAM hog, I have found I need to save my project as I work becuase it does have a habit to lock up. I like the fact you can go down to one frame (normally this is what leads to most of my crashes).
   
   I do like the fact I can make cartoons and put them in a real work enviroment I used microsoft paint and the borders file to do this (by using a file name like
   C:\MAGIX\Movie_Edit_Pro_2004\Borders\4 Border 2\4_border_90_blue
   copying the background blue color, using paste from to put in a cartoon character (like spongebob)then using the paint bucket to surround the character with blue, you can make the character move by manipulating the character and saving it under another file name. Note: you can only used this named format i.e 4_border_90_blue, 4_border_91_blue, etc.
   Now if you are going to use multiple characters you are going to find that it is very difficult to edit each one on the differnt tracks becuase the track below it will stick to the one on top. To counter this I did it in layers. I did the background and the first character, then export it to make a video file (I'd stay away from the MPEG-4, and use MPEG-2). Once a video was made I'd go back and start a new project and put the made video on the first track then add the second character. Note: after awhile you will notice that each time the previous track is fuzzier than the second. I'm stll experimenting with this process, I hope to have a clear video on each track.
   
   Secondly, the extras are great! I love the footage disk that comes with it, You can create your own music tracks however this is limited to 4 styles (jazz, india, jamacian, classical). With that tho you can create some pretty cool tunes (very time consuming), or you can use music from your favorite CD (use only mp3 and .wav files)
   
   Third, collaging of picture/video using multi track is possible (you to can create a brady bunch type opening for a project)
   
   Forth, Blue screening is possible but teadious. I set up a blue screen stage in my garage using track lighting and a blue tarp as a background Note: make sure you use lots of lighting and wear bright clothes (stay away from greens and blues)
   
   If you combine all these elements you too can make a Mary Poppins type project!
   
   Lastly, expect various other problems like German menus on certain features and when it comes to making a DVD you'll find it to be nerve racking! Don't use all the features unless you have lots of RAM and Hard Drive space. I nomally export files to MPeg-2 Format an burn them on a disc with a differnt DVD burning Program. [...]



4. The last version of this program worked well for me on my high-powered twin-engine Dell with a gig of RAM, so I decided to try Version 11. Tried many times to do the standard installation, only to get I/O errors or a freeze-up. The CD did look a little scratched, so I returned the product and tried again with new discs -- same problem. Nothing wrong with my computer or CD drives, because other programs on disc install fine.
   
   Finally, I thought of selecting "minimal install" and got it running. Must be a corrupt or problem file in there somewhere. No big deal, because I'm not really interested in many of the flowery extras. I mostly wanted the ability to use .TIF images with alpha channel info, because for stills, that works much nicer than alpha-keying with blue or green screen. There is also supposed to be better handling of pan and zoom on stills--we'll see...I haven't burned any discs yet.
   
   The old version rarely crashed or froze even with many individual movies open. This new version has already crashed with a single small project. Time will tell if I can work around the bugs or patch them up.
   
   For the price and the features, this software is fantastic and I'd give it 5 stars, but I believe the installation routine was quite crappily written and its stability issues are still to be determined. If you're happy with the old version and don't care about using .TIF images or stock 3D tricks which are mostly garbage, don't bother with the upgrade. And if you have problems installing it, try the minimal install--you'll still get the revised core program and most of the effects.



5. Try using the editor under Windows XP OS. I had to reinstall Movie Editor Pro 10 three times. After the thrid time I took the software off my system.
