and then you will see a button with four arrows pointing outwards on it in the lower right

Scrubbing
Scrubbing (view page 176) originates from the time of tape machines and provides quicker
monitoring of passages of a film or piece of music. This was technically implemented in
these devices by keeping the tape head on the tape itself, but the motor doesn't drive the
tape rolls in this case. Instead the tape is "manually" set to the desired position. Scrubbing
in MAGIX Video Pro X2 is available beneath the transport controls via a large wheel, which
may be used to move the playback marker.
Audio effects animation in the Media Pool
Audio effects can also be animated in the Media Pool in the same way as video effects.
Automation curves that were normally difficult to draw can now be set and changes be
made with just few keyframes. Because these curves are object-related, the entire
arrangement remains clearly laid-out even with complex automations. The button for
animations is located in the Media Pool (like video effects).
Improved video upload
Video uploads to video portals and communities (view page 218) can now even be done in
HD quality, and in most cases, without recalculation on the video portal or community
website. Upload functions are accessible via "File -> Internet".
Revised DVD menu design
The DVD menu design function has been generally revised. You can access this option
directly via the "Burn" button.
New Title Editor
Titles, text, opening and end credits are now written directly in the preview monitor so that
you can see exactly where your titles will be positioned right away. Click the "Title" button in
the Media Pool, select a template and place it onto the track via drag & drop. You may now
edit your titles in the preview window.
