My Presets in the Media Pool
Your 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 Presets". 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.
Additional 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
X4 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 X4.
Important applications for plug-ins include the application of special effects
and useful video editing tools.
Using video effect plug-ins
In order to be able to use plug-ins, they must be installed first. MAGIX Video
Pro X4 checks whether plug-ins are already available. If not, it will offer to
download them from the Internet or to set the plug-in path manually.
In order to use a video effect plug-in, select the video or image object first,
then open "Effects -> Extra effects -> Plug-in manager" in the Media Pool
menu. This lists all available plug-ins on the right side of the dialog.
