Save and export
MAGIX 3D Maker has two basic save and exporting options:

Save as an X3D format file. You can reload an X3D file for further editing in the future.

Export in another format (see File Formats for a full list of supported formats.) You cannot
reload exported files into MAGIX 3D Maker and edit them. (Although you can load BMP, GIF,
ICO, JPEG and PNG format files as textures.)
To save in X3D format—use Save or Save as on the File menu. (To reload an X3D file use Open on
the File
menu.)
To export a static image—use Export on the File
menu.
To export an animation—use Export animation on the File
menu.
To export a screensaver—use Export screensaver on the File menu. (More on screensavers
.)
When exporting, a dialog box will appear with a variety of options. Most of the options in this dialog box
are specific to the file format (GIF, AVI and so on.) Common to all formats are options to set the graphic
size:
Current window size:
Either export the current window or frame area (crop off) or the cropped area (crop on.)
Crop: Export just the area with the graphic. "Crop" ignores just the offset from the center caused by
displacing the graphic by Alt + dragging it. (see rotate and position the graphic
)
User defined:
Lets you specify (in pixels) the area to export. This area can be bigger or smaller than the window or
frame size.
Exporting movies and screensavers
You can also export you MAGIX 3D Maker-design as an AVI video file. (The same thing is happen
when you export it as a screen saver)
Clicking AVI options when exporting a movie or screen saver will allow you to choose from any of the
AVI codecs
on your computer. Use the default setting or a codec of your choice. For some codecs you can also set
the quality percentage and how often key frames are set, and you can click configure for more options.
