Video and Bitmap Objects
Video and bitmap formats
MAGIX Music Maker MX Production Suite can load and export videos in the
following formats: AVI, Windows Media (*.wmv, *.asf), MAGIX Video (*.mxv) and
Quicktime Movie (*.mov).
Graphics can be loaded and exported in BMP and JPEG formats. Also RTF
text files can be loaded and used as subtitles.
On the content media you will find the included image and video files. You can
also use your own files or even record your own videos.
To get the best results with video effects, you should save the video and
bitmap files used in True Color (24-bit color).
Adjusting the video screen
The video screen can be positioned freely on the screen as well as adjusted in
size. To position it, you must first switch off the standard layout view in the
windows menu before you can move the video screen. To adjust its size, click
on the video screen with the right mouse key and select the desired size from
the object menu or define it yourself (‘user defined’). Please note that larger
screens require a greater computing performance!
Loading and editing videos and bitmaps
Video and image objects can be loaded and edited just like other objects. In
order for you not having to decide which file is to be loaded, you can use the
preview function on the video monitor. Simply click on a video or graphics file
in the Media Pool: The corresponding video or graphic is displayed or played in
the video monitor.
 Via the context menu (right mouse-click into the list) you can choose between
different views ("List", "Details", "Large symbols"). In the "Large Symbols" view
the videos are displayed with a preview frame – very useful to preview the
available images.
