Problems and solutions
File will not load
If files cannot be loaded, this means that the format is either not supported by
MAGIX Video Pro X4, or the corresponding codec must be activated first. Read
the section "Import formats (view page 16)" for more information.
In case of AVI files,
it is possible that the necessary codec in not installed. For
more, please refer to "General tips for AVI videos (view page 364)" in the
appendix "Digital
video and storage devices".
Choppy or uneven playback
Don't panic if the picture on your screen is choppy or uneven. The finished
product will look perfect and play smoothly. Don't forget that MAGIX Video Pro
X4 calculates all effects in real time. This lets you see for yourself what sort of
influence each of the effects will have on your video footage. Some effects
make even today's high-performance PCs work quite hard, and often, a
steady, continuous video stream is simply not possible on your PC. The final
product, free from previous choppiness, is only available after rendering it to
DVD or exporting it. For that reason, you should first edit the movie in its raw
version without effects. The preview generally delivers a steady picture,
allowing you to work quickly and quietly. Towards the end, you can add effects
to your movies to give them a special touch of Hollywood!
Problems and Remedies regarding the Auto Remix
Assistant
Problem: The playback stutters, the metronome is suspended, the computer is
overloaded... (on older computers.)
Remedy: We recommend changing to wave drivers ("P" key, "Playback
parameter" dialog) instead of DirectSound.
Problem: The metronome does not work and there are no lines on the the
wave-shaped display.
Probable cause: The material does not contain beats or the song contains a
passage without beats.
