18 Introduction
Every menu template can be customized with your own photos, thematic animations, 3D
titles, sound, intro videos, etc. Write with flowers if your video takes place on a meadow, or
with clouds if you’ve flown somewhere. A lovingly created menu always makes a great
impression. It's your video's calling card.
Media library
A license-free media library including music, video, and graphics files is included for free
use and combination. All files are clearly arranged on your DVD in a well-arranged structure.
Tip: For additional multimedia content, you can also browse the online media catalog
Catooh by clicking "File -> Internet".

Notes for MAGIX Movie Edit Pro users
For users who are used to working with MAGIX Movie Edit Pro, the user interface can be
switched to the "classical" Movie Edit Pro view via "File -> Settings -> Basic settings". Also,
when the program is launched for the first time, a selection dialog appears for choosing
settings from either "Movie Edit Pro" or "Video Pro X".
Only those program settings will be changed that can be changed via "Menu -> Settings ->
Program". In the "
Program settings (view page 254)"chapter in this manual, you can learn
more in detail about the individual settings.
For everyone who has never used MAGIX Movie Edit Pro, we recommend using the "Video
Pro X" mode. This operational mode provides the most options.
The following provides a detailed overview of the differences between the operational
modes:
Video monitors
• "Movie Edit Pro" mode only has a preview monitor which is used for both program and
source monitor. When the project is stopped, files can be selected in the Media Pool and
played back with the transport control. To play back the arrangement again, the Arranger
has to be clicked first.
• "Video Pro X" mode provides two preview monitors, one program monitor for previewing
the project in the Arranger and a source monitor for previewing files in the Media Pool.
