tricks on the software application examples. The "News" is indicated by color
according to content:
Green indicates practical tips & tricks for the software

Red for special offers, contests and questionnaires
If no new messages are present, the button will appear gray. When the MAGIX
News Center is clicked, all of the available information will be displayed. Click

Embed Flash videos into your own web page
To do this, you will need a basic knowledge of HTML pages and all technical
requirements for uploading your files to your web page.
Tip: If you do not have HTML skills, we recommend using MAGIX Online
Album. Without any previous knowledge, you can present videos, photos and
music on your own web page – all completely for free. Videos from MAGIX
Online Album can also be embedded in other websites as well.
Please note that a Flash video cannot be directly embedded into an HTML
page like a picture in JPEG format. For a Flash video, you will need a Flash
player embedded in the website to play back your video.
MAGIX offers you a download package with some Flash player goodies. It can
be downloaded here http://support.magix.net/dl/flvplayer.php.
The package contains
the following files:
