Video collage missing in trail version - Magix Video Deluxe 2026

Niels-Mickers wrote on 10/12/2025, 12:16 PM

I am checking out the trial of Magix Video Deluxe 2026.

I was looking for the foto/video collage functionality that is explained here:
https://www.magix.com/gb/video-editing/how-to-make-a-video-collage/

In the trial there is no such thing as "Collages Basic" in the template tab. Can anyone verify that this is present if I buy the product.
It is the only thing that I cannot test. p.s. apart from the export settings. If anyone can point me to a screenshot of an advanced export dialog that would help me out.

Background:
I have been using Cyberlink PowerDirector for 6 years now and am switching to Magix Video Deluxe Premiem if I can verify the above.

@Niels-Mickers

There have always been templates in MMS for producing collages or you can make your own once you get into how the program and various effects work which would include picture in picture choices with the cookie cutter as well as the size / position rotation tool. The tools may take a while to get used to but I use them a lot.

Have you looked in the tab under Help for the download additional content option?

Ray.

@Niels-Mickers

Since you are using the trial version do be aware that all Magix software trials are deliberately restricted in some way when compared with the full, purchased version. Once you have paid for the software, registered and activated it the “additional content” which @CubeAce mentions will then be available for you to download.
