X5

Effects 155
Xara Photo & Graphic Designer or Xara Designer Pro X will start with the animation
document and the opened frame gallery. The first frame will be added automatically
and will display the selected image or video object from MAGIX Video Pro X5.
3. Create effect mask:
Note: Be aware that the lighter the effect mask, the stronger the effect will be later in
MAGIX Video Pro X5. Black indicates no effect, and white indicates full effect. The
best option is to color the object that will be used as the effect mask white and to
adjust the intensity of the effect yourself in MAGIX Video Pro X5.
• Use the tools in the editor to create the desired mask form. Add an object that
marks the area where the effect should later be applied. It will automatically be
assigned to the first frame.
With the "Invert mask" function in MAGIX Video Pro X5 you can use an object to
indirectly select the precise area where the effect should not be applied.
• Color the object white.
• Give the object a name by clicking on "Names..." in the context menu. Enter the
name under "Names" and click on "Add" and then "Close".
• Create additional frames by clicking on "Copy" in the Frame Animation Gallery.
The object that should move will automatically be added to the new frame.
With each new frame the video moves to the corresponding position making it
easier for you to adjust the objects directly on the video image by moving them to
the right position.
