Comparison image in the source monitor
When editing effects in video and image objects, MAGIX Video Pro X5 offers a
comparison mode which lets you compare the before and after state directly.
Selected object without effects: Outside of effects pages, the object is displayed
completely without effects; inside effects pages, the object is displayed without
effects from the current effects page. The "Color" effects page remains open and all of
the effects except "Color" are applied. This options synchronizes the playback marker
between the program and the source monitor.
Selected object: The selected object is displayed with all of the applied effects. The
playback marker may be moved along the arrangement, for example to compare the
beginning with the end of an edited object. This option synchronizes the playback
marker between the program and source monitor.
Before selected object: Displays the object before the selected object in the same
track. This enables the edited effects on sequential objects to be compared more
easily.
Following the selected object: The object located on the same track after the selected
object is displayed for comparison in the source monitor. This enables edited effects
on sequential objects to be compared more easily.
Select object...: Clicking selects the desired object. An object may therefore be edited
and then used as a reference for the following effects processes, for example.
Remove comparison image: The comparison image is removed from the source
monitor.
Note: Program settings enables you to activate "Comparison image in source
monitor for editing effects in the Media Pool". If this option is activated, the
"Selected objects without effects" comparison mode will be automatically activated
when switching into the Media Pool effects, and will be automatically deactivated
when the mode is exited. This serves to compare the original and edited image.
This automation will be suppressed if the option is deactivated.

With MAGIX Video Pro X5 you can pre-render specific sections of your movie. This is
especially useful if smooth playback is not possible due to the applied effects and
