VideoProcAmp: Fine-adjustment of colors, brightness, contrast etc. We
recommend against changing any of the manufacturer’s settings.
Format: Please do not change anything here. The capturing format is set in the
"Recording quality" option in the video recording dialog.
Station selection
This option is only available if a TV tuner is integrated into your video card.
Video Compression
Compressed video data is typically saved in AVI files. AVI stands for ‘Audio and
Video Interleaved’, i.e. mixed picture and sound. Depending on the
compression rate, high data rates will be required – a good video starts at
about 2 MB per second, equivalent to compression of about 1:10 as opposed
to uncompressed video with 20 MB per second data flow rate. High quality
video systems only work with a compression of 3 or 2 – i.e. creating up to 10
MB per second data for video flow. Even uncompressed video can be used.
MAGIX Music Maker MX Production Suite can also process such high-
resolution video data completely. Within MAGIX Music Maker MX Production
Suite, video data is processed in uncompressed format – all effects, mixes etc
are carried out in the highest quality. It is possible that replay of a project with
several videos or realtime effects may ‘jump’ more than is the case with smaller
videos. This does not harm the end result though – video export is calculated
frame by frame.
Choppy or uneven playback
Don't panic if the picture on your screen is choppy or uneven. The finished
product will look perfect and play smoothly. Don't forget that MAGIX Music
Maker MX Production Suite calculates all effects in real time. This lets you see
for yourself what sort of influence each of the effects will have on your video
footage. Some effects make even today's high-performance PCs work quite
hard, and often, a steady, continuous video stream is simply not possible on
your PC. The final product, free from previous choppiness, is only available
after rendering it to DVD or exporting it. For that reason, you should first edit
the movie in its raw version without effects. The preview generally delivers a
steady picture, allowing you to work quickly and quietly. Towards the end, you
can add effects to your movies to give them a special touch of Hollywood!
