FX
The FX option allows the adjusting of small delays that can occur on slower computer systems for
example. The linking of media files with VIP or Wave projects is based on two playback processes, one
for the MAGIX music editor 2
window and one for the media file window. No synchronizing of material takes place during the playback
process. This means that on computers that have timing problems due to insufficient system resources or
speed the digital audio tracks and the media file may run 'out of sync'. With the FX option you can
specify a factor that is used to do internal sample rate conversion. How does that work?
Since we can not influence the playback speed of the media file, we need to adjust the playback speed of
the digital audio tracks. Imagine that a normal playback speed is represented with a factor of 100. If the
digital tracks play ahead of the media file, the playback needs to be slowed down. This would be
accomplished by multiplying the regular playback speed of 100 with a FX factor just a little below 1, for
example 0.998. This would result in a playback speed of 99.8, which is a little bit slower than the regular
speed. This way we would align the digital tracks with the media file.
On the other hand, if the digital audio tracks lag behind the media file playback, a factor higher and 1
would need to the entered. A value of 1.002 would be an example.
Rule of thumb for this factor is to use small value increments. The values should stay around 1. You will
need to experiment with this setting, since there is no hard rule about the system performance of an
individual computer system.
If you do not have any problems with the digital audio tracks and the media file playback staying in sync,
you should not enter any values in this field!
Remove Link
This button will unlink the media file from the MAGIX music editor 2
window. This effectively stops all association with the media file. If you do not need any further
referenced to the media file, you may use this option.
Preview
The Test button allows testing of the current link. By clicking the button the playback of the media file
should commence. If no playback is visible in a MAGIX music editor 2 window, you may need to check
the Video in MAGIX music editor 2
window option for AVI files. Other media files should be playing back through the Windows multimedia
extension, such as the MIDI file player.
Show Actual Frames
This options shows the actual video frames in the preview windows in the video track and the preview
section.
