It is version 1 of Movie Studio or version 2021 of Movie Edit Pro/Video Deluxe. The only difference as far as I am aware, is the extra plugins that come bundled with each version.Ĭalling Movie Studio 18 version 18 is misleading - it is not version 18 of Vegas Movie Studio, because it is nothing to do with Vegas Movie Studio (made in the USA) and everything to do with Magix Movie Edit Pro (made in Germany)! There are now 3 different product names for the exact same product.

If you bought a Ford Mustang yesterday, it is now a Volkswagen Polo. Magix has just rebranded their German made consumer video editor line up and stuck a different label on the box. Movie Studio 18 Suite = Magix Movie Edit Pro 2021 Premium = Magix Video Deluxe Premium in Germany Movie Studio 18 Platinum = Magix Movie Edit Pro 2021 Plus = Magix Video Deluxe Plus in Germany Movie Studio 18 = Magix Movie Edit Pro 2021 = Magix Video Deluxe in Germany I have my own thoughts as to why this has happened, but I'll leave that for each individual to make their own conclusions as to the 'why now?' The Vegas Movie Studio product line has been cancelled and retired - end of story - it's that simple. Vegas Movie Studio 17, Vegas Movie Studio 17 Platinum and Vegas Movie Studio 17 Suite Movie Studio 18, Movie Studio 18 Platinum and Movie Studio 18 Suite Let's get real, before the confusion starts and we (the senior members of this forum) have to explain what has happened to the unaware casual users of Vegas.
