Audio mixdown
This option joins all audio objects in one audio file. Afterwards, the audio
material will only occupy one track and take up hardly any RAM (does however
take up space on the hard drive [ca. 10 MB/min in stereo]). This way you get a
clear overview of further objects and space for them.
MAGIX Video Pro X4 automatically normalizes the audio file, i.e. the loudest
part of the wave audio object is identical with the highest figure of the 16-bit
resolution ceiling. This guarantees the same sound quality, even if you repeat
the mix down procedure or you combine the mix down file with other wave
audio objects again and again. The mix down function is very helpful if you
want to go on using the mix down object.
Tip: Instead of using the mixdown function, use the various options found in
the "Export movie" submenu of the "File" to create the final *.avi or *.wav (or
another multimedia) file.
Keyboard shortcut: Shift + D
Audio and video mixdown
In addition to the "Combine audio" function (see above), all video objects
including effects, fades, and edits are combined in a single MAGIX video file
(view page 241). If your computer starts to approac
h its limits, this enables you
to free resources for further editing.
Keyboard shortcut: Shift + M
Start preview rendering
You can render a pre-defined area for the preview or automatically search the
material for critical areas. See "Preview rendering".
Shortcut: Ctrl + R
Remove areas for preview rendering
All rendered previews will be discarded; the video material will be rendered
again via the arrangement in real time and played back.
