back using the transport controls. To play the arrangement again, you first
must click on the arranger.
The "Standard" appearance offers two preview monitors: a program monitor
for project preview in the arranger and a source monitor for preview of Media
Pool files. Both preview monitors have separate transport controls, so that
Media Pool preview and project playback can be controlled separately. For
additional information about the preview monitors, please read the
corresponding section of the "Interface" (view page 58) chapter.
Keyboard layout
The preset keyboard shortcuts are different and can be displayed in both
modes via "File -> Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts". MAGIX Video Pro X4 also
allows familiar shortcuts from Movie Edit Pro to be loaded if they are easier to
work with. More information about keyboard shortcuts can be found in the
chapter "Keyboard shortcut" (view page 351) and in the shortcut pdf located in
the program
folder of MAGIX Video Pro X4.
Load files
In MAGIX Video Pro X4, files are dragged (drag&drop) to the desired position
in the arranger or loaded via the commands from the insert menu. To learn
more about the paste menus, please read the "Paste Modes" (view page 43)
sec
tion in the "Interface" chapter.
In Movie Edit Pro, files can also be loaded form the Media Pool by double
clicking them. Videos and images are placed in the first track at the position of
the playback marker. If another object is already located there, the new object
will be placed after the last object in the first track. Titles will appear on tracks
3 and 4, additional audio material on track 5.
You may also change this behavior under "File -> Settings -> Program" via the
tab "System" and under "Behavior on double click".
Space bar behavior
In either program, use the space bar on your keyboard to start and stop.
Pressing the space bar again produces different effects according to the
respective program:
In Movie Edit Pro, the playback marker is placed at the last stop position.
In MAGIX Video Pro X4, the playback marker is kept at the current position.
This corresponds with the functionality of a tape recorder when stopped.
Playback behavior may be switched via "File -> Settings -> Program" and then
the "Playback" tab.
