The global independent provider of video and music editing software.

Berlin-based Magix is a leading global independent provider of video and music editing software and thus sits at the nucleus of the digital multimedia value chain. The company provides a wide spectrum of consumer and professional multimedia editing software products while being one of pioneers of VR video editing. With its recent acquisition and successful integration of SONY’s multimedia editing software assets, the company has furthermore positioned itself as one of the pre-eminent consolidators of this space.

GP Bullhound has been a great advisory partner and their expertise and execution capabilities proved invaluable in delivering this transaction for us.”
