looks good...
you mean magix? have you tried it yet?
what format are you editing?
looks like the case is the most important...

Sorry, Magix. Tried version 14 and liked it [felt very intuitive]and the list
for V15 looked really good. I also worked on an old version of premire
that I may get back into it since I can get Premire CS3 or CS4.
I edit regular DV taped on Panasonic 3ccd cam. May move to H264/ HD.
