('SCS') is pleased to announce that MAGIX Software GmbH (“MAGIX”) has purchased substantially all of the software products and other assets of SCS (“SCS Assets”). Subject: Sale of Customer Database and Other Assets To answer the question of how I would improve the product, it's a no-brainer: remove the silly (IMO) 640x480 resolution restriction (what is this, 1995?) and offer the app for a price that allows it to compete with other, more full-featured editing programs.

Thanks GAOTD and Cyberpower, but given the limitations of this 'LE' version program, I'll have to respectfully pass on the offer. I'm not sure if this is available at a lower price 'on sale', but I regularly see Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13 available for anywhere from $50 -$80 for the entire suite of apps. The info header at the top of this page states that Cyberpower sells this app for $49.99.

And even more importantly, they have never failed me. Sony's Platinum version includes integrated Music creation, Audio editing, and DVD & Blu-Ray disk authoring capabilities. In my opinion, Sony's tools blow the other consumer-grade editing tools away in terms of capabilities, value,ease-of-use and price. This is the consumer version of Sony's Vegas Video Professional editing suite which has become an industry standard along with Avid Media Composer, Apple's Final Cut Pro, and

But over those years I have moved from using this app and a few of the Magix and Pinnacle editing programs to Sony's consumer-level products like their Imagination Studio and now their Sony Movie Studio Platinum suite. I used PowerDirector years ago, and found it useful. I appreciate the offer, but with those limitations, I'll have to pass on this one.
