Hi all,

Magix has released new versions, VDL 2027 and Video Pro X18.

On the Magix.com site for these, under "What's New," they mention:

Benefit from numerous workflow refinements, bug fixes, and stability improvements inspired by customer feedback.

I would like to know what are the numerous workflow refinements...inspired by customer feedback.

If anyone gets either of these upgrades and can figure out these refinements, please post them here.

Any comments on the other new features?

I have installed the trial of VDL2027 Plus. Of interest is that you now get a choice to keep an existing previous version - it asks. So, I have both VDL2026 and 2027 Plus.

I quickly tested out the new facial recognition feature. Seems to work well depending on the size of the faces. Had trouble with group shots where people were not too close. I needed to read the manual to figure how to use this feature.
