Restore project from video disc
This command restores a project backup that has been saved on a disc. The disc must
have been burned with the option "Add project backup" (see "Burn disc" dialog
options).
Choose which of the movies contained on the disc should be restored by selecting it
from the list and highlighting and selecting the corresponding directory. You must
also indicate the directory where the project should be saved. A subfolder
"Backupxxx" will be created in this folder where all project files from the disc will be
saved. All of the restored movies will be loaded into MAGIX Video Pro X5 for editing.
Select the option "Restore image files only" and only the original image files
contained on the disc will be restored.
Load backup project...
This option loads an automatically created slideshow backup. This type of automatic
backup gets the file extension MV_ (underscore). This command is only intended for
use in emergencies, for example, if you unintentionally saved your change and wish to
return to the previous version of the movie.
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + O
Tip: Under "File -> Settings -> Program...", you can determine how often an
automatic backup will be created in the "System" tab under "Automatic backup".
Importing & exporting EDL files
Import EDL (edit list)
The menu "File -> Import edit list (EDL)..." allows you to import edit lists in the
Samplitude EDL format into MAGIX Video Pro X5. It is important in this case that the
folder structure remains unchanged. During importing into MAGIX Video Pro X5, the
file locations must match the place where they were when the cut list was created
using Samplitude/Sequoia.
• If an empty project is opened, the complete EDL file will be imported.
• If the tracks are muted before importing the EDL file, then they will not be
removed.
• If there are already objects in the project, then you will be asked the files should
imported into the project or if a new project should be created for them.
