Travel route animation
This menu entry opens the separate Travel route animation program. This enables
simple creation of animated travel routes with the help of online maps.
Note: In order to be able to use current map data, maps are fetched by Travel route
animation directly from the Internet. This requires an active Internet connection.
Audio mixdown
This option joins all audio objects in one audio file. Afterwards, the audio material will
only occupy one track and take up hardly any RAM (does however take up space on
the hard drive [ca. 10 MB/min in stereo]). This way you get a clear overview of
further objects and space for them.
MAGIX Video Pro X5 automatically normalizes the audio file, i.e. the loudest part of
the wave audio object is identical with the highest figure of the 16-bit resolution
ceiling. This guarantees the same sound quality, even if you repeat the mix down
procedure or you combine the mix down file with other wave audio objects again and
again. The mix down function is very helpful if you want to go on using the mix down
object.
Tip: Instead of using the mixdown function, use the various options found in the
"Export movie" submenu of the "File" to create the final *.avi or *.wav (or another
multimedia) file.
Keyboard shortcut: Shift + D
Audio and video mixdown
In addition to the "Combine audio" function (see above), all video objects including
effects, fades, and edits are combined in a single MAGIX video file (view page 228). If
your computer
starts to approach its limits, this enables you to free resources for
further editing.
