Recalculate video effect plug-in on bitmaps for each frame dynamically: If you apply
a plug-in to a bitmap (image), then this option must be activated in case the plug-in
creates moving effects.
Animate objects, effect curves
The "Effects" tab under "Video effects" and "Movement effects" provide you with the
effects which can animated using keyframes.
The following objects can be animated:
• Combined objects
• Video objects
• Image objects (still images)
• Title objects
• Audio objects (in the Media Pool under "Effects" > "Audio effects" > "General")
• MAGIX 3D Maker objects (3D texts)
Preparing animations
• First, select the object in the arranger to animate. For complex animations, we
recommend placing a marker beforehand for orientation.
• In the Media Pool, open the "Effects" tab and click on the effect you would like to
animate under "Video effects" or "Movement effects".
• If necessary, set up the effect however you would like it for the start of the
animation.
• Using this button, at the bottom of the Media Pool, a timeline may be
shown or hidden. You can see here which animated effects are currently
applied to the selected object. Keyframes may be placed, selected, moved,
and deleted.
There are two stippled lines in the timeline to
help you orientate yourself while you edit
movement. These lines will help you recognize
the start or end of the transition.
Place keyframe
Click the timeline to set the playback marker at the locations where a keyframe should
be added.
