Start program Start program Start MAGIX Video easy by double clicking the program icon on the desktop or by accessing MAGIX Video easy via the Windows Start menu. The first time the program is started, you will have to enter the serial number. More information about this can be found in the chapter "Serial number". New video project: Create a new project. MAGIX Video easy automatically creates a subfolder for the newly created video project bearing the same name as the project itself.
Import video Import video Import videos from digital camera: Videos can be easily imported from digital camcorders like AVCHD, MiniDV, and HDV cameras into MAGIX Video easy. Select files on the computer: If you would like to load videos that have already been added to your computer, then select this option. You only need to open the correct folder and select the video. Import videos from analog sources (e.g. video recorders): This option is available for recordings from analog video sources.
Import video Import video from digital camcorders MiniDV/HDV: The recorded video is saved onto MiniDV cassettes in digital form. to transfer the video, the tape must always be palyed back at normal speed, making transferring of a video very similar to a "genuine" recording. AVCHD camera: These cameras save the video material onto built-in hard drives or memory cards. This therefore involves simple copying of data, which makes transfer simple and convenient.
Import video AVCHD scene selection Here you can see all of the video sequences saved on the camera. All preview images, dates, times, and lengths are also displayed. Select from the desired video sequences from the list. Selection of multiple video sequences can be done by holding down the "Ctrl" key while clicking items in the list. Transferring AVCHD videos Once the desired sequences have been selected, click the "Transfer video sequences" button.
Import video Note: Not all computers feature a FireWire interface. in most cases, this may be added without much trouble. In this case, talk to your computer specialist. Note: You may also use a HDV camera in DV mode to, for example, transfer recordings in the old DV format. We have noted problems with this mode in many cameras, and therefore recommend that the Record mode of the camera is also switched to DV, switching the camera off and then on again.
Import video Connections to the cards usually look this way (see figure). The top connection is a so-called "composite" cartridge. the connection shown below is called an "S-video" connection and features better quality than the composite connection. If these connections are used, then the sound will have to be transferred with a separate cable (red/white connections). These cables will have to be connected to the line-in on the sound card or (if available) the video card. You may require an adapter.
Import video Most sound card inputs are 3.5 mini stereo jacks. To connect the VCR audio out to the sound card audio in you will need a stereo RCA/ mini phono plug adapter. You will most likely have to buy a cable with 3 RCA plugs and a stereo cinch/mini jack adapter from your local supplier. Note: Most video converters record both image and sound. This kind of converter can usually be found in the online store at www.magix.com. Transfer analog video Then select the recording quality.
Import video Click "Advanced view" to be able to set the desired sound card or sound card input that will be used to record audio. In the advanced view you have can make additional changes to your hardware settings. A click on the speaker button opens the Windows mixer for the set sound card in recording view. Format settings/drivers Note: The settings that may be adjusted here normally only need to be changed if there are problems transferring the analog video signal.
Import video Imagesetting Video decoder: If the picture only appears in black & white or it flickers, the video standard may be set incorrectly. In mainland Europe, PAL_B is used. 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.
Edit Video Edit Video Scene recognition For longer videos, it's recommended that you use the scene recognition feature if you don't want to use all of the material.

Hint: If there are several audio tracks in the video project, they cannot be exchange with each other and may be moved around only in the free ranges. If an audio object is too short to drag and move it, simply cut the video object (view page 22) above it.

Edit Video Insert Transitions Transitions are fades between objects. Normally, a so-called "Hard Cut" is made between objects: The first image of the following object appears directly at the end of the previous object, i.e. without any special fade effect. However, you are free to select a fade if you would like to add one. Click on the fade symbol between two objects to open the fade dialog. The transition dialog provides fades that can be placed between two objects.

Glossary Important: Playlists are only links to songs on your hard drive or in your CD drive. When you add a song to your playlist whose real source is a CD in your computer's drive, the song will no longer be playable when the CD is removed from the drive. Similarly, when you move a folder on your hard drive, the playlist will no longer be able to play the song, since the link is no longer valid.
Glossary Ratio: The aspect ratio is the ratio between the height and width of a rectangle. In practice these are photos, screens or projection screens. This method can also be used to describe the aspect ratio of pixels. Here are some examples of typical aspect ratios: at home 4:3, 16:9 (typical for TV sets), or 16:10 (widescreen flat screens, widescreen notebooks), 3:2 for 35 mm films and photos.

Encoder setting: Compared to the VCD with 1.3, the data transfer rate is doubled to 2.6 Mbit/s. MPEG-2 format introduces the so-called variable bit rate (VBR).
Glossary U Universal Plug & Play; UPnP Universal Plug ‘n’ Play (UPnP) is a network protocol which enables data exchange between different devices (PCs, hi-fi systems, video cameras, PDAs, and webservers). UPnP allows various devices to participate in network-wide communication, i.e. the initialization of functions and other device functions. Long-winded configuring or installing of drivers is not required as the devices can handle their own functions and data sources by themselves.
Glossary W WAV Wave (*.WAV) is a standard uncompressed audio format. Wave Wave (*.WAV) is a standard uncompressed audio format. Wave file Wave (*.WAV) is a standard uncompressed audio format.

Annex: Digital Video and Data Storage The output image First field Second field You normally don’t have to worry about field processing. The video material goes through the entire processing chain as fields and is exported again as fields or burned onto DVD or shown on TV when played back on a DVD as a full picture. Only in certain rare conditions is it necessary to go deeper into this process. Two problems can occur: 1.
Annex: Digital Video and Data Storage video material improperly with the wrong field order and then import it into different material. We use MXV or MPEG "Top field first" format for all analog recordings ("odd" in other programs). DV-AVI on the other hand is saved with “Bottom Field First”. You can correct the field series for each video object in its object settings.
Annex: Digital Video and Data Storage Blank discs: Single-sided recordable blank discs featuring a capacity of 4.7 GB and a duration of approx. 2 hours. AVCHD disc Use this format to create a high-resolution video. You can burn Blu-ray (BDR/RE) blanks as well as conventional DVD±R/RWs. In contrast to Blu-ray Discs (view page 80), MPEG-4/AVC codec is applied as the video format, which requires less memory at a comparable image quality.
Annex: Digital Video and Data Storage Blu-ray Discs come in three varieties: Only readable BD ROM (comparable to DVD video), rewritable BD-RE (comparable to DVD±RW or DVD-RAM), and as a disc that can be written to only once BD-R (comparable to DVD±R).
