I have to agree with everyone here. I too bought this product on the strenth of the reveiws and I have to say it looks wonderful.  But I have spent hours trying to figure out how to use it.  Going through the Help files didn't help much.  We need some decent tutorials.  Magix, please put some step-by-step tutorial on your website that we can download.  Otherwise I can see this going in the bin! 

Love the slideshow capabilities BUT totally agree that there needs to be much better documentation and tutorials.  The DVD burning process is extremely frustrating and puzzling.  It should not take sveral hours to burn a DVD.  Did you pay off TopTenReviews to give Xtreme Photo Story the best rating?  I've run into problems with the program intermittently not recognizing fade selections and no

Dont feel bad... I purchased it and have the same problem. Seems like this software is nothing more than a shell.  It may be able to work, but now I can't figure how to get any kind of sound into or out of it.  The instructions are pathetic.  It should have come with at least a demo and a few sound loops installed.  That might have given me a good impression, or at least a little more

This is a super report on how to make videos fly.  I have been a Majix user for years but just discovered this forum and I want to thank you for this good work and know it will be very useful to me.

Most of the information given in this video is intuitive from the layout of the program. Anyone who's used Microsoft Word has seen the compose screen. What is NOT covered is how to apply the titles once they've been created. I've been trying to learn this program, and the demo section is very vague. Do I hit "Apply to All" (all what?) Do I just click on OK? Neither of them appears to do anything.

First of all I agree with everyone else - the documentation is so poor it almost renders the product useless. Secondly, I am very disappointed in all of the reviews I read prior to purchasing PhotoStory 8 - all rated this product the best, and described it as intuitive, user friendly, etc, which it is definetely is not. At any rate, if anyone ever hears abour or writes a better, step-by-step "how

I'd like to thank Magix for not only thier products but the oportunity to learn from the real Professionals it means alot to me and gives me hope. God bless This isn't as much an answer but a coment and offer.  I am disabled and have a terminal illness and I am stuck at home. I was more or less forced into the photo restoration and my pathetic attempts at artwork, with the hopes to keep my

Justin, I have taken years of voice lessons and have sung with several groups. Your advice about warming up is right on. And it does take repeatition to get the correct sound. I'm very new at Music Maker  and am having a blast. Learning how to put video to my first song. Hope to be on "You Tube" soon!  Your advice on laying down several different tracks of your voice is what I've been looking

Very useful, thanks. Will file the thought away and decide how to use it later. David

I'm very frustrated with this software.  This software was rated number one in the 2009 TopTenReviews, presumably because of the full range of features.  However, if the user can't figure out how to use the features, then they're worthless.  A full user guide, with examples is desperately needed.  The on-line knowledge base is also very weak.  The majority of questions have no answers and

Nice site, for german speaking videographers I submit an alternate  "how to" showing website. Link as bellow. http://www.sf.tv/sfwissen/manualx.php?catid=sfwissenmanualx&docid=1 Enjoy

The Getting Started pdf starts with: Upon starting the program you see the Video Editor. but there is no such thing. It doesn't work. I imported a video from a Sony Digital Handycam DCR-TRV 340. I saw it go to Magix Edit Pro 15, although in jumps and stops and at low res. Then I tried to find it to play it and edit it. But where was it? There was no clue how to find it. That should be

I totally agree with the other users, the tutorial is very weak for such an elaborate program. I really wish you had a better user friendly way to teach this program. Help system through the program is weak as well. Can't find out how to remove the black borders after importing pictures. MS PhotoStory addresses this at the first screen and does it for you, very simple. Lot of features, just hard

hi, im a new MMM 14 PE user..how/where do I install those plugins and make them appear? Sorry, it's a rookie question but really cant find how to do it. Thanks a  million!

Is this the only documentation available? Where can I find some more detailed explanations about how to use the features of Music Maker?

Meena wrote "it doesn't explain how I would know if my computer had a sound card or whatever . . . " 1.  Presence or absence of sound in a PC is the first clue. 2.  Hardware can be reported by the free software at www.belarc.com 3.  P.3 of the workshop PDF pictures three different types of connector commonly found on sound cards (used to connect VHS players etc.)

Its a great piece of software and I've learned a lot by just doing. But this tutorial is way too brief and incomplete.  Why not use an interactive approach.  It should go step by step creating a small slide show, discussing all options.  For instance, I'm very confused about setting up the menu.  As an international company it might help to explain how I set up for USA or European DVD creation. 

I have gone back to ths as I am getting nowhere witht his stupid program but the workshop is useless as the pictures don't relate to what I see and I can't see how to make the changes i need;  what is the point of this if you never answer any question and you provide rubbish tutorilas.  They are ok if everything works but if it doesn't you are stuck
