Quick start
This chapter explains the basic functions of MAGIX Video Pro X2 with a step-by-step
introduction. A systematic description of the program functions can be found in the
chapters and in the extensive PDF manual.
Tip: Open the tutorial video and the "Quick start" tutorial by clicking the "Help" menu.
Starting the program and orientation
Once you have installed MAGIX Video Pro X2, start the program from the Windows
®
Start
menu.
Start dialogs
When you start MAGIX Video Pro X2 for the first time, multiple start dialogs will be opened.
For MAGIX Movie Edit Pro users, a special dialog option is offered to select either the
"Movie Edit Pro" or "Video Pro X" interface. If you have upgraded from MAGIX Movie Edit
Pro and are interested in the differences between the different interfaces, then please read
the "
Notes for MAGIX Movie Edit Pro users (view page 18)". We basically recommend using
the program with the Video Pro X interface, since this offers the most options. Over the
course of this manual, we will assume that you have selected this interface (you can switch
the basic settings at any time via "File -> Settings -> Basic settings").
