Magix's Free Trail verses what really get when you purchase!

Donald-Weston wrote on 4/19/2024, 4:25 AM

I tried out the Free Trail for Magix Premium and was very pleased with the program. However when I purchased I found that I could not download anything from the HUB. One needed a 'Subscription'. Dashed if I can find how to get such a thing. Sort of fraudulent in my book, should have had all what the trial gave plus giving a better than a 3 min save of a vide which it does. I was looking forward in particular to the Text to Speech even though it has a few short comings like not being able to drop a pre-prepared text script into it or having any paragraph rests/pauses etc coding. Overall it looks to be clearer to use over my 1915/16 and 17 versions but otherwise not much the same Magix Video Editor. (Interestingly my 1917 version fails to run on Windows 11!)

There is nothing fraudulent with respect to the trial version. For some of the items in the 'Hub' this is correct, a subscription requirement is clearly stated on the website and the option to purchase a subscription here, scroll down to see the section shown below :-

Assuming you are referring to Vegas Movie Studio, Magix Movie Studio is an entirely different program.

You wrote about 1915/16 and 17 versions. Did you mean that?

If you wish to change from the Perpetual Licence to the Subscription Licence, assuming you bought the software quite recently, simply email infoservice@magix.net and ask for a refund of the purchase of the former and then "order" the Subscription version.
