The other question would be if I wanted to upgrade in the future to either Magix Video Pro or Vegas Pro Edit, which might determine which of the entry-level programs I should get. Are there any other differences between Plus/Premium and Platinum/Suite? Otherwise a perpetual license for the NewBlue Filters is a much better deal than the limited 2-year license for ProDad Hide. The Day for Night and Diffusion filters from NewBlue included with Movie Edit Pro 2021 Premium look cool, but not sure I really need them. I don't think I need the extra (third-party) features though: NewBlue Filters 5 Ultimate and FXHome Enhance Ultra is included with Movie Edit Pro 2021 Premium (EDU) whereas ProDad Hide V1 is included with Movie Studio 18 Suite. It is an extra US$15 on the academic license for the Premium or Suite versions (but they are still the exact same price). I noticed that there are different extra features available between Movie Edit Pro 2021 Premium and Movie Studio 18 Suite, but as far as I can tell, Movie Edit Pro 2021 Plus and Movie Studio 18 Platinum are identical. I want to buy the correct product so that I can upgrade to future versions as a new USA customer.Īre Movie Edit Pro 2021 Plus and Movie Studio 18 Platinum then actually the exact same software under two different names? So as a USA customer, I should get Movie Studio 18 Platinum instead of Movie Edit Pro 2021 Plus? I have never used any Magix products before, so I am more concerned about forwards-compatibility than backwards-compatibility. I am in the USA, and both Movie Edit Pro 2021 Plus and Movie Studio 18 Platinum are the exact same price under academic (EDU) license for USA customers.
