250 Video and Bitmap Objects
www.magix.com
If you want to use the video for your arrangement, drag the video or bitmap file
onto a track in the arranger while holding the mouse key. During playback in
the arranger, the entire video and image material on all tracks, including all
effects, is played back in real-time.
Video and image objects can be edited in the same manner as other objects:
You can touch and move them with the mouse, fade them in or out with the
handles at the top corners, or change their brightness with the middle handle,
etc. Please also read the chapter "Arranging objects (view page 64)".
Simplify object presentation
With the TAB key you can switch between two object presentations. The
objects in the alternative presentation are not displayed frame by frame in the
arranger, but in simplified form. This saves working memory and improves
overall play performance. Scrolling and zooming in the arranger as wee as
various object manipulations are far quicker in TAB mode. The video display in
the video monitor is not influenced by the simplified object display.
Visualizer objects
You can load so-called visualizer objects into MAGIX Music Maker MX
Production Suite (*.vis files). The principle: The sound creates graphic changes
to the visualizer objects. The graphics and structures move according to the
beat of the music.
You can load visualizer objects in the same manner as other objects. The
"Audio & Video Effects" selection button is located on top of the Media Pool.
The submenu "Visuals" now contains many algorithms for different automatic
animations. Just try them out by dragging an audio object into the arranger
and playing it. If you click on the different visualizers with the mouse, you will
see in the video monitor how the computer animations mover according to the
beat of the music…
Visualizer objects can be used just like video and image objects: You can drag
them from the Media Pool into the arranger and arrange them as you like.
