You simply choose the clips you want to include, select the length of the finished video, click continue on to the template screen and select a template Fastcut does the rest. The major differences lie under the hood, so to speak, with new set length templates complete with music designed to automate the editing process. Primarily, the overall structure of the interface is unchanged, so current users won’t have to learn it all over again. You can also share them directly on YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook, or you can save them to suit iOS and Android mobile devices. While I’m on the subject of resolution, with this version, you can save your finished videos in up to 4K.

Part of this is due to using a low-resolution version of your clips while editing the full resolution is only used at the output stage.
Magix has done a remarkable job, because it feels like a completely different product. Well, I’m happy to report that’s not the case with Fastcut. I find that sometimes these tweaks and enhancements are almost imperceptible, making very little difference to the actual performance of the system. It seems that this is what this version is all about, because the new H.264 hardware-accelerated decoding reduces CPU load, so your editing is much slicker without the usual pauses while the computer catches up.
If you have a touch unit, it means you can now operate Fastcut with the familiar touch and swipe gestures, which again increases productivity. Magix has also revamped the interface, providing better workflow, while optimizing it to encompass the ever more popular touch displays. That means it also supports the file formats common to these devices, including the popular AVCHD format. For example, the program now supports the majority of media devices, including smartphones, tablets, cameras and camcorders. This latest version addresses these limitations with pretty much more of everything.
