Switching between standard and basic modes
To switch MAGIX Video Pro X4 into basic mode, select "Window" > "Editing
mode" > "Basic mode".
Note: If you switched into basic mode by accident and your MAGIX Video Pro
X4 project contains cut and edited audio and video material on multiple tracks,
this arrangement will not be changed. However, it is not recommended to work
in basic mode because the effects on other tracks during editing in Storyboard
aren't predictable. For this reason, in this case you should switch back into
standard mode.
Tip: If you switch from basic mode back into standard mode, by going to
"Window" > "Window arrangement" > "Resent window arrangement" you can
restore the previous arrangement of MAGIX Video Pro X4.
Storyboard mode
In the "Edit" screen, the Arranger has been replaced with a Storyboard.
Pictures and video footage (including the audio track) are displayed as scenes
in the Storyboard. The scenes are all displayed the same way, irrespective of
how long they really are in the movie.
Note: In this type of display, the playback marker moves at different rates
through the length of the film. Correspondingly, it moves slower in longer
scenes.
You can load a video or image file by dragging it from the Media Pool into the
Storyboard using the mouse. To generate a preview of the video, drag the file
into the program monitor. Monitor transport control will not work on the
storyboard, but will play the video from the Media Pool.
A file you load is made up of a single long "scene", which can be split into
several smaller scenes. This can take place manually or using the cut button
