Settings for and management of video projectors 249
Video/Audio
In the "Video/Audio" tab you will find all settings options concerning video and audio
files.
Video standards
PAL is used in Europe; the United States, Canada, and Japan use NTSC.
Movie display
The resolutions that can be set here concern only the picture display in the arranger. If
playback becomes jerky, we recommend entering a lower value. This does not
influence the quality of exported videos.
Automatic interlace processing: MAGIX Video Pro X5 usually automatically detects
whether the loaded video files were recorded using interlace or progressive method;
for interlace videos, the half-frame sequence is also recognized. In case automatic
detection fails, you can deactivate it here and set the object properties (view page
306) of video objects to the correct process.
Options
Automatic preview of exported clips: This option plays the clip directly after export to
check the result.
Extract sound from video: If a video file contains video as well as audio files, you can
also import the audio file of the video if this option is selected. It will be displayed as
an audio object in the arrangement below the video object. Both are automatically
grouped together. If the audio track has to be edited or replaced later, you first have to
ungroup it ("Ungroup" button in the tool bar or via the "Edit" menu).
Allow user-defined names for sound extracted from VOBs: This determines whether
a dialog will appear for each imported file during VOB import (VTS_01_1.vob) where
you can give your film a name (box checked) or whether an automatically generated
name should be assigned (box unchecked).
Adjust small deviations from 4:3 aspect ratio during bitmap import: This option
automatically adjusts photos that have nearly a 4:3 aspect ratio to the 4:3 TV format.
The pictures are therefore easily stretched or compressed. This inevitably brings
about distortions in the picture. If this option is deactivated, black bars appear along
the sides.
Load effects from JPX file automatically for images: If the images were edited with
other MAGIX programs (e. g. MAGIX Photo Manager), description files with jpx
extensions have ben created for each, containing certain effects and image titles.. This
option adds that information into your editing process.
