Magix Video Pro X 16: Early update with more AI functions

[17:16 Wed,8.May 2024 by Rudi Schmidts]

Despite or perhaps because of the current somewhat tense company situation, Magix wants to show that it has no intention of throwing in the towel. The latest, sixteenth version of Video Pro X16, Magix&s professional platform for video editing, is therefore being released a little earlier than usual.

The new AI functions, which are already familiar from other manufacturers, are particularly eye-catching. Video Pro X16 now also offers "Speech to Text", "Text to Speech" and style transfer functionality. In addition, the AI effect "Colorize" can be used to colour black and white videos.

Magix has also "increased" access to around one million media clips (audio and video) for direct use.

Magix Video Pro X 16: Early update with more AI functions

We personally find it a shame that Magix (and/or other manufacturers) are not taking the current opportunity to establish an open AI plug-in interface for AI filters via ONNX. We have repeatedly seen ONNX libs in earlier Magix versions and think that a standardized interface for AI plugins is overdue, especially in video editing. Someone will certainly provide this in the future and ONNX should not be a bad choice as a basis under Windows.

The full version of Video Pro X 16 costs 179 euros, and there is also a Video Pro X 16 Ultimate Bundle available at a special price of 229 euros until the end of May. This bundle also includes filters, effects and tools from Prodad, NewBlue and Stellar. An upgrade from previous versions costs 129 or 179 euros. Only the "naked" Video Pro X is available as a subscription for 84 euros per year or 16 euros per month.

An update for the new Video Deluxe 2025, which shares many technologies with Video Pro X under the hood, will follow on May 27. Vegas will also remain in the program, although it is to be expected that Magix will somewhat limit its habitus of strongly branched product differentiation in the future.
