MAGIX Video Pro X is a paid video editing program for Windows, published by MAGIX as the step above its Video deluxe editor. It contains the Video deluxe tool set and adds finer color grading, broader audio control and support for camera and broadcast formats used in professional production. It is sold in two editions, Classic and Ultimate, and a free trial download is available.
Timeline and precision cutting
Work in Video Pro X centers on a multi-track timeline that accepts mixed formats and resolutions in one project. A dual preview monitor shows the source clip next to the program output. Each has its own in and out points, making 3-point and 4-point editing possible.
J and L cuts let sound start before or continue after its picture. A gap-closing function finds empty spaces on the timeline and joins the clips so no black frames remain. Time stretching changes the length of clips while the audio keeps its pitch. Dynamic slow motion uses speed keyframes with frame interpolation. Snap markers help align objects and are also the basis for cutting on the beat of a music track.
Nested sequences group several clips into one object that behaves like a single clip on the timeline. Users can apply an effect to the whole group. Effects and object properties can be animated with keyframes.
Multicam, proxies and 360° footage
The multicam mode in MAGIX Video Pro X handles up to nine camera angles. The program automatically synchronizes the recordings by analysing their audio. The editor then switches between angles live in the preview. Proxy editing is also included in both editions. 360° recordings get their own tools, including stitching, rotation and stabilization.
Color grading and LUTs
3-way color correction in Video Pro X adjusts shadows, midtones and highlights separately. Exposure curves change luminance and individual RGB channels. Levels and LAB adjustment complete the basic set. Shot match copies the color and tone of one clip onto another.
Deep color settings control color space, bit depth and sampling. The program can edit and export HDR projects with an HDR preview while grading. Users can apply, save and compare LUTs and import their own camera or effect LUT collections. The Ultimate edition adds a bundle of cinema LUT presets.
Masks, effects and tracking
Layer masks apply alpha masks to video and title objects to create fades, shaped borders or partial transparency. Effect masks restrict an effect to one area of the frame. Object tracking follows a moving subject so a title or graphic stays attached to it. The same mechanism can blur faces or license plates.
The effect library includes chroma keying for green and blue backgrounds, one-click stabilization of shaky footage, moiré reduction and film grain. OpenFX plug-ins are supported.
Audio mixing and cleanup
MAGIX Video Pro X includes a real-time mixer with an equalizer, compressor and delay on each track. Cleaning tools remove hiss, crackle and wind noise. Users can normalize loudness to the EBU R128 broadcast standard and produce mixes in stereo or surround. VST plug-ins can be added for mixing, mastering and restoration.
AI subtitles and voiceovers
Video Pro X can generate subtitles from speech and voiceovers from typed text. Video Pro X offers both as an offline function that runs on the local PC without an internet connection or usage credits. The project material therefore does not leave the computer. Cloud-based versions of the same tools are also available. They draw on an allowance of subtitle hours and voiceover characters that is larger in Ultimate.
Further AI functions cover style transfer, colorization, image enhancement and scene detection. AI face recognition scans the media library and groups pictures and clips showing the same person.
Media library and search
Larger projects are organized with custom tags for categories or people and a keyword search across the library. RAW photos can be imported directly.
Formats, export and disc authoring
On import, Video Pro X reads AV1, HEVC, AVC, XAVC, XDCAM and HEIF images, along with common containers such as MP4, AVI and MOV. Blackmagic Intensity and DeckLink cards are supported. DVCPro50, DVCProHD and AVC Intra require a separate paid activation.
Export covers AV1, AVC and HEVC, with vertical presets for social platforms. Batch processing renders several jobs in sequence, and chapter export converts individual chapters without rendering the whole project. The INFUSION Engine uses Intel, NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards to speed up playback and AVC and HEVC import and export.
For physical media, the program authors DVDs and Blu-ray discs with menu templates or custom designs.
Classic and Ultimate editions
Both editions share the editing, color, audio, format and offline AI features. Both also include proDAD Hide, which removes unwanted people or objects from footage and reconstructs the background behind them. Ultimate adds further proDAD tools for advanced stabilization (Mercalli), effects (VitaScene), speed changes (ReSpeedr), animated titles (Heroglyph) and privacy masking (Disguise). It also adds additional premium effects, the cinema LUT bundle, more soundpacks and larger cloud AI and stock allowances.
