Movie Studio 18 Platinum - Trial Version

I just installed Movie Studio 18 Platinum and activated the trial version. All that only to discover that the trial is limited to 3 minute renders. YOU NEED TO PUT THIS BIT OF INFORMATION IN A MORE PROMINENT LOCATION! I never would've bothered with the download and install if I had known this beforehand. There is no possible way I can evaluate legitimate video editing software without creating lengthy renders. Any two-bit knockoff can do 3 minutes. I need to know how a 20 minute - indeed - a MUCH LONGER render is handled, during and after the process. Also - there was no easy way to uninstall this after I decided it was unwanted. The control panel only showed the cloud and map utilities - not the actual meat and potatoes of the software. There was no uninstall.exe in the program folder either. I had to delete the folder and clean up my registery afterward. That, my friends, is horribly minor league. Ultimately my experience with this Magix offering was extremely poor. There is simply NO WAY I would give any money to anyone offering such a worthless trial experience. In fact, this was a trial of an ordeal lmao. I will continue using freeware and years old programs for my video editing.

@Don-Treadwell

Welcome to the Magix user to user forums, so not a contact for any Magix staff! Hence, there really is no point at all in ranting here, sorry!

I do understand your annoyance, however, you do admit that mention is made of this limitation, albeit not as prominently as you might wish apparently.
