Vegas Movie Studio 18 – is it bad or suite? ;)

Movie Studio 18, which includes the ability to edit 3D footage, was released just recently (as of this writing).

I received an upgrade offer from Magix, via email. Currently, I own Movie Studio 16 Suite. The major downside vs a newer version (such as 17 or 18) is: it’s very slow to load – even on my HP Omen “gaming laptop”. Anyway, the info on Magix’s site said the software is based on (I guess) Magix code and is compatible with projects from Movie Studio 17. So this had me wondering about the changes – did it look any different? Did it have a different workflow? What *is* this new beast?

Well, I downloaded the trial and have posted some screenshots for you. After all, I wanted to see what it looked like before I downloaded, and I figured you might, too. (Yes, yes, I had to download it to get the screenshots for you. 🙂
