The Friday Roundup – Magix Video Pro X, Color Correction and Special Effects

Young girls eating popcorn watching a video.

Welcome to this week’s roundup of all that’s good and wholesome in the world of video editing.

I have noticed that when I wander about the internet finding this stuff, each week seems to have it’s own particular theme.

Last week it was all about YouTube stuff and this week it seems to be all about special effects.

Before we get into that let’s kick off with the continuing story over at Magix on their pro editing software, Video Pro X.
