Please make sure you do your homework prior to doing what I did which was purchaseMagix MEP 2017 even though I had 2016.
Here's what you get for your hard earned money.
1. Same program as 2016. Doesn't look new or have new features
2. Now when I try to drag mp4's into the timeline, I am told I need Quicktime. Why? Didn't need it in the 2016 version. Then I go over to Apple to get it and they aren't even supporting it anymore. Nice way to go back 5 years in usability.
3. No more codec so MEP17 is taking 3x as long to render.
4. More crashes in one day than in 6 months of MEP16
5. Installed Quicktime and MEP still will not allow those videos to show. WTH is this? How can a movie editor not play

MAGIX MOVIE EDIT PRO 2017
Problem began with new install of new $70 program that is IDENTICAL to last years.
Dragging desktop to timeline
When I drag it it says I need Quicktime which is already on the computer.
Anyway, you can just keep the 2016 version or be an idiot like me and lose $70 to a marketing scam. This will be my LAST Magix purchase. I'd rather go anywhere where this kind of theft doesn't take place. You don't need a new version cause your ass itches. Wait till you have enough to call it a new version. You sold me the same product, with same transitions, same music same down to every last bit- except they took the codecs away.
Thanks Magix! I love getting screwed!
