I know this has been an insane year, but program updates and new releases seem to come out at this time of year. Will there be any or word of any soon?

From recent Posts, you will have three choices to go with chance: slim, no and fat. ;)Quote:

I bought Magix Movie Edit Pro Premium 2020 in June. I did not get an option for an update. I contacted them but my downloads are not updated.
No soup for you :)
@JENR8
In your original message, are you talking about Xara Designer Pro X or Xara Photo & Graphics Designer or Movie Edit Pro?
Here is the link to the Forum for Movie Edit Pro. The current version is 2021. Click on Help, Online Update and you should see something for the update. If not, post a question on the MEP forum.
Shades of CorelXARA?
If this is for Xara Designer Pro X 17, I suspect there will be an update around November this year.
At the moment, Xara Designer Pro+ seems to be getting all the attention in that area....
Xara Designer Pro X 17.0.0.58732 DL x64 Mar 12 2020. I got this one thinking that I would not have to upgrade my Web Designer Pro, I was hoping since it had all the same features plus vector things.
I doubt there will be an upgrade within the next couple of months. Magix can possibly use the Covid 19 pandemic as an excuse, but if that's true they should at least explain that fact to their customers!
I have exactly the same Pro v17 release; it is little different from v16.3 released in October 2019 (which I have installed as well). You can make you own judgement from Xara's What's New.Quote:

- With respect to What's New and Pro+ you can determine whether anything in the three subsequent releases - 4 June, 25 June and 3 Aug merits upgrading with Xara directly, or whether you are prepared to wait for the next Magix release (whenever that might occur).
Whatever is in the next Pro v(x) release from Magix is primarily dependent on exactly what Xara wants to include in that release (they are the product author not Magix).
Personally, I bought Pro X under Xara's orignal 365 Upgrade programme and found myself transferred to Magix. I do not need Xara's Cloud (and never will) - I have made an assumption there will now be an 'annual update' from Magix (likely March 2021). When and if that occurs, I will decide whether to renew my Magix Update Service (or not).
