VPX16 came out yesterday and, strangely, Magix has not posted about it on the forum. I have downloaded and installed the trial version, so I don't have complete access to the new features under Magix Hub.
New Features:
- AI Speech to Text - 3 hours total per year (limit per month) vs 12 hours per year with a Subscription
- AI Text to Speech - 40,000 characters total per year (limit per month) vs 1.2 million characters per year with a Subscription
- Magix Content - 240 content items total/yr (limit per month) vs 360 with a Subscription
- AI Style Transfer - see below
- AI Colorize - see below
- NewBlue Infinite Looks - this looks to be just a bunch of effects that came with NB Total FX and some other packages. See the Magix.com info.
- Recording function revamped - cosmetic as far as I can see - different beginning interface to do the same thing as before
- Chromakey streamlined - cosmetic as far as I can see
Under AI Speech to Text, right-click on an audio object (including audio with video) and this shows on the menu. I believe that it creates a text object but this cannot be done in the trial version:
AI Text to Speech is under Magix Hub in the Media Pool. Again, cannot complete this in the trial version, but I expect that it creates a wave file and puts it on the timeline.
AI Style Transfer
Creates different styles for photos/videos. The options are indicated in the image below, and you can see the result and the before for the first choice:
AI Colorize
I only tried this on a couple of photos and it wasn't bad. From memory, the organ pipes were more golden than silver. After and before photos below along with tools:
Chromakey streamlined - new interface
Bug fixes
Trimmed clips now go into the Project Temp Folder correctly - with correct start and end points.
The interface with Xara still exists, as do the bugs.
