X5

Introduction 19
• The "Standard" appearance offers two preview monitors: a program monitor for
project preview in the arranger and a source monitor for preview of Media Pool
files. Both preview monitors have separate transport controls, so that Media Pool
preview and project playback can be controlled separately. For additional
information about the preview monitors, please read the corresponding section of
the "Interface" (view page 64) chapter.
Keyboard layout
The preset keyboard shortcuts are different and can be displayed in both modes via
"File -> Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts". MAGIX Video Pro X5 also allows familiar
shortcuts from Movie Edit Pro to be loaded if they are easier to work with. More
information about keyboard shortcuts can be found in the chapter "Keyboard
shortcut" (view page 325) and in the shortcut pdf located in the program folder of
MAGIX Vide
o Pro X5.
Load files
• In MAGIX Video Pro X5, files are dragged (drag&drop) to the desired position in
the arranger or loaded via the commands from the insert menu. To learn more
about the paste menus, please read the "Paste Modes" section in the "Interface"
chapter.
• In Movie Edit Pro, files can also be loaded form the Media Pool by double clicking
them. Videos and images are placed in the first track at the position of the
playback marker. If another object is already located there, the new object will be
placed after the last object in the first track. Titles will appear on tracks 3 and 4,
additional audio material on track 5.
You may also change this behavior under "File -> Settings -> Program" via the tab
"System" and under "Behavior on double click".
Space bar behavior
In either program, use the space bar on your keyboard to start and stop. Pressing the
space bar again produces different effects according to the respective program:
• In Movie Edit Pro, the playback marker is placed at the last stop position.
• In MAGIX Video Pro X5, the playback marker is kept at the current position. This
corresponds with the functionality of a tape recorder when stopped.
Playback behavior may be switched via "File -> Settings -> Program" and then the
"Playback" tab.
Project folder
• In Movie Edit Pro, the project folder function is not available.
• MAGIX Video Pro X5 features the project folder as a separate folder on the right
side, which serves as an intermediate store or catch-all for all kinds of project
