Mercalli V6 (with Movie Studio 2024)

johnebaker wrote on 9/30/2023, 2:05 AM

Hi Kami

There is an improvement in Mercalli stabilisation process, however the degree of 'improvement' you may see depends very much on the type of 'shake' present in the video clip.

MMS 2024 also has Vegas Video Stabilisation which may be better than the Mercalli for some types of shake, it is an aggressive stabiliser with the downside being that the amount of zoom in, to avoid black borders, is more than that of Mercalli - see the image in this comment, the current Mercalli version has a similar degree of zoom to Mercalli 2 shown in the image.

Added - There is also this comparison example here.

Hi John,

I read most of the posts in that thread, and the list of supported cameras. My Panasonic video camcorder wasn't listed. 🙁

I've tried the Vegas stabilizer in both the last MEP version and in MS 2024, but haven't found it as effective as Mercalli, plus the fact it has no adjustment controls.

I haven't found any add-on stabilizer to be able to handle *my* cam shakes. I'm usually recording quickly moving birds with a strong zoom, which I doubt that any stabilizer software addresses.

Since I'm using the Movie Studio trial, I looked up the purchase price. If I want the latest Mercalli, it's an extra $20. I don't know what I would get if I don't include it, a previous version. 😖

I received an email that there's another reply, and my first post shows I got 2 replies. But I don't see the second. (I clicked on the link in the email 3 times.) 👀

I really wanted to read it.

Hi Kami

. . . . I received an email that there's another reply, and my first post shows I got 2 replies . . . .

They would have been triggered by first my original reply and the second time when I added the last sentence.

I don't think so. It began (in the email) - "

Just got another email about a msg. not here -- from "emrecs" -

"@KScott Hi Kami, I suspect the notification system glitched! I’ve also experienced something similar.."

If the people here whose posts aren't coming thru, is it possible to email me. I really very much want to read your comments. I'm willing to post my email address here, if rules allow.

@KScott @johnebaker I saw the reply but it appears the poster deleted it.

KScott wrote on 10/1/2023, 8:12 PM

Oh, thanks for letting me know. Would have liked to seen it.

Hi Kami,

My apologies!

I posted the message you saw in the notification - basically that this "disappearance of messages" does sometimes occur if the system glitches or if, as in this case, the poster deletes it almost immediately because another user (John) posted his reply whilst i was typing.

Once again, sorry for the confusion! (And I won't delete this post!)

KScott,

"Since I'm using the Movie Studio trial, I looked up the purchase price. If I want the latest Mercalli, it's an extra $20.

Where did you find the purchase price of Mercalli (I am assuming version 6) for $20?

I currently have Suite 2024 and would be interested in purchasing Mercalli 6 for $20.

Thanks.. Barry

On the Magix website. It's a combined offer, $20 more if Mercalli 6 is selected at the same time.

I have to change my previous reply re Movie Studio and the new Mercalli version. I just spent 1/2 hour on the magix website, and I can't find it. 👇😒😠😕🙁👇

THANK YOU!! Actually, I got the email this morning.

Guess I shouldn't wait for a reply from their sales dept about this. 😊

Hi Al,

I tried in vain to find the Canadian equivalent.

For some strange reason, I don't get emails from Magix. The box in my account to get emails is and has been checked for years. No emails. I complained once to Magix and they ensured me that the box was checked. Strange.

John, that's a bummer. Somebody (or more like it, some [electronic] thing!) mustn't like you!

I placed the order yesterday for the Movie Studio Suite. At the beginning, there was a long list of countries for selection. Maybe if you go through the steps you'll see the list to see if CA is included?

@KScott

Hi Kami,

The problem is that on Magix.com, Canada English, there is no MSSuite with Mercalli v6, only with proDAD VitaScene V5 Pro.

In the link from @AAProds, there is no button to change the country.

So, are you saying that if I use Al's link and go to purchase, a list of countries will appear with the appropriate price?

Did you actually get the Suite with Mercalli or the one listed with proDAD VitaScene V5 Pro instead?

Hi. I did buy the Suite with Mercalli 6(?). If AAProd is Al, that's the link I used. That webpage was a special to purchase the combo. (Doesn't even have the option for the monthly subscription). Once I selected Purchase, then I was sent to a page, maybe the page after, which had the list of countries.

BUT, yesterday was the "final" date for the sale. Of course, it periodically returns.

@KScott

Hi Kami,

When I select the purchase from Al's link (@AAProds) and select Purchase again, it goes to the login screen, no country selection. After logging in and on the purchase screen, there is no country selection.

I'll ask Magix.

The offer has been extended to Oct. 24.

Thanks,

I just went through the link again. This time, I didn't see the country list. The system probably "remembered" me and previous entries. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Do you have a different email address you can use so the system sees you as a new customer? I'm asking because I used a different email than previously.
