Determining the visible TV frame size
To determine the picture properties of your television as well as optimal image
size editor settings, you should perform a test run:
Load the project "Visible TV image" from the folder "My Media -> Projects ->
Visible TV image" in the Media Pool.
Play back the film and read the instructions on the video screen.
Burn the project to DVD
Place the disc into the player and play the film. Compare the TV picture to the
picture displayed on your video screen by MAGIX Video Pro X4.
Determine the proportional value of the borders cropped by the television with
the four measurement scales along the edges of the test picture.
Enter the values in the "Full TV size" editor.
The image size is now optimized to your TV picture. Please note: Depending
on device settings and disc media type, the cropping values may vary slightly.
Image improvements for individual objects
The context menu or in "Effects -> Video object effects" features various
adjustments for selected video and image objects.
Interpolation for interlace material: Select this option to remove interlace
artifacts from the (video) image. If, for instance, you extract still shots from a
video, interlace artifacts appear in sequences which feature movement.
Anti interface filter: Choose this option for still pictures with detailed structures
and high contrast. This filter reduces line flickering during TV playback.
Border crop adjustment: Select this option if the edges are cropped during
playback on your television. Values stored in "Film effect settings (view page
164)" will be applied.
