installed the trial version of movie studio platinum 18 but when i tried to activate the trial it say its already expired. any idea how to be able to test the software?
That is the old version/design of Vegas Movie Studio.
The trial of the older version should not stop the activation of the new version. Check your registered products at magix.com - login with your email address and password you used to register the old version. Under My Products you should see if Movie Studio 18 or Movie Edit Pro has been registered previously.
The new version is a rebranded version of Movie Edit Pro - which will eventually 'disappear' as a product name - with the capability of importing the older design/version of Vegas Movie Studio project files, currently as raw cuts only, however Magix are working on a fix to import the full project.
