Introduction
What is MAGIX Video Pro X2?
MAGIX Video Pro X2 is a professional video editing program for Windows PC systems.
High-performance, native HD editing, DVD authoring with up to 8 audio tracks, or keyframe
animation with Beziér curve control is directed at users with higher standards.
The program is clearly divided into intuitive modules. Videos, photos, and audio from a wide
range of sources can be transferred from various devices to PC. Longer movies can be
automatically separated into chapters or scenes. You can also do the opposite and
combine individual recordings to make a single movie.
Once your video is finished, you can use it in different ways: Transfer it back onto the tape
or to your camcorder, export it in any conventional format, or burn it directly to Blu-ray,
DVD, or another format of disc.
What’s new in MAGIX Video Pro X2?
Improved file import
MAGIX Video Pro X2's support of video formats has been improved, and new formats have
been added.
• For DVD videos, multiple audio tracks, or the corresponding
audio track (view page 84)
may be selected.
• OGG and MP3 are now read directly; conversion to the WAV format is omitted. To
import DVDs with multiple audio tracks (e.g. multi-lingual videos), the corresponding
audio track can be selected via the context menu for the respective audio object.
Creating backgrounds
The
Media Pool (view page 42) features useful templates for various applications. For
example, there are professional backgrounds for measurements, but there are also special
templates with more creative freedom and adjustable color schemes.
Performance test for your PC during AVCHD import
A performance test has been integrated into MAGIX Video Pro X2 for loading AVCHD
videos. This tests whether your computer is powerful enough to edit AVCHD material
directly.
Revised MAGIX MovieShow Maker
MAGIX Slideshow Maker (view page 128) has been completely revised. Effects and fades
can now be set and adjusted in detail. This program is accessible via "Edit -> Wizards ->
Slideshow Maker".
Object zoom
Activate this mode and click on an object to zoom in for detailed editing. This allows
individual drum hits in a loop to be edited in a very detailed way or cut. Select the object
