Design elements in the Media Pool
In this category you will find a large selection of decorative elements:
templates for image juxtapositions (multiple picture-in-picture) and collages,
moving objects (balloons flying through the frame, trains moving across the
picture, snowfall....), color fields for your own backgrounds, intro videos,
outro videos, visuals...
You should first look through all the options and take stock of what there is.
 Open the categories one after the other to get a general impression. You
can see a preview of all deco elements.
A simple example for use are the frames (Media Pool > Effects > Design
elements > Image objects > Frames“). These are much like picture-frames
that can be modified by video mix effects. Simply drag them directly on an
object, which will then appear as if inside a picture frame.
The design elements create own objects on a different track. You can use
the lower handles to adjust the size of the borders to fit any length of the
video. You can also achieve interesting effects by inserting and discarding
borders within a video.
Personalized templates in the Media Pool
You personal effects configurations in the Media Pool can be saved and
applied again later. You can reach these customized configurations in the
Media Pool folder "Effects > My templates". They may be dragged onto
objects as usual.
First, this folder will be empty, of course, because you still have to create
your own configurations.
Extra effects
Video effects plug-ins are additional programs from third-party developers
that may be used to add additional video effects to video objects. MAGIX
Video Pro X3 supports the plug-in format of the freeware video editing
software "VirtualDub", as well as the "VitaScene" and "Adorage" programs
from "proDAD". A selection of tested VirtualDub plug-ins (.vdf files, also
called VirtualDub filters) may be downloaded as an installer package
directly from within MAGIX Video Pro X3.
Important applications for plug-ins include the application of special effects
and useful video editing tools.
