58 Dialog and Interface Reference
Video Mode
Compatibility Mode (Video for Windows)
This mode works on all systems. Activate this mode if there are problems with
playback.
Hardware Acceleration (Direct 3D)
This mode offers extreme increase in speed by calculating mixing, effects, and
various transitions the the graphics card directly. Depending on the graphics
card, performance can increase by 300%. The graphics card will not be used
during export.
Note! To use this mode the graphics card must possess at least 128 MB
memory. You will need to install Direct 3D 9, or higher, and the graphics card
driver must support "High Level Pixel Shader Language 2.0". MAGIX Video
easy checks the corresponding properties when this mode is selected and
switches it off if necessary.
Alternative Mode 1 (Mixer Overlay)
This mode performs hardware-based deinterlacing for output onto a PC
screen or a projector, whereby the playback quality is significantly better than
with interlaced analog video recordings.
Alternative Mode 2 (Video Mixing Renderer 9)
This mode uses the hardware de-interlacing function of modern graphics
cards together with DirectX 9. Make sure that you are using the most recent
version of your graphics card driver, which must be compatible with DirectX 9
to function properly. This mode is only superior to "Overlay Mixer" mode with a
limited number of graphics card models.
Fade in/out time for background: You can set the length of the fade in/out
time for the background audio. The values are given in milliseconds (ms).
Reactivate hint dialogs
Once installed, MAGIX Video easy displays a number of safety queries and
instructions at various points in the program. These may be switched off by
clicking the small box at the bottom that says "Don't show this message
again". To display these warning messages again, select the "Reactivate hint
dialogs" option.
