additional variables can be added. You can also add your own text and adjust the
separators between the variables.
Font: Select a font.
Set character width: For fonts with variable character widths (proportional fonts) the
display will wobble during playback because the 1 is narrower than the 0 for example.
For this reason, these types of fonts are not displayed in the selection list.
Color: Here you can set the color of the font and the background. The background
remains transparent when the "Transparent" function is activated.
Adjust to project length: Adjusts the length of the timecode object to match the
length of the project to ensure that it is displayed at all times.
Counter start/progress: If you have included a counter as a variable or are using one
as a preset, you can set its characteristics here. For example, the counter can start at
10 and the progress can be measured in steps of 5. If you want the counter to count
backwards, add a minus to the "Progress" entry.
Effects
MAGIX Video Pro X5 offer a large palette of various video effects. The video effects
used the most can be found directly in the Media Pool, while others can be found in
the object context menu or in the "Effects" menu.
Apply effects to objects
There are various approaches for applying effects:
• Video and audio effect presets are loaded into the corresponding object from the
Media Pool using drag & drop.
• Effects that can be animated (in the Media Pool under "Effects -> Video effects /
movement effects") will be applied directly to the objects selected beforehand as
soon as changes are made in Media Pool.
This button resets all of the current effect settings.
Note: If you animated the effect using keyframes, resetting will affect the entire
animation. Individual keyframes may be deleted via click + Del (view page 149).
