• After deleting, a gap remains in your movie where the removed scene once was.
How do you remove gaps out of the film? Easy: You can drag the following
scenes back until the end of the first scene "docks" to the later material.
Remember to "take" all objects that are further behind, otherwise the gap will just
be "passed" to the end. To pull up later objects, use "All tracks" mouse mode,
since this automatically takes the objects on all tracks found later on the timeline
along with the object being moved.
Note: If your project has both a video and an audio track, it is usually necessary to
cut both tracks synchronously. After camera import, image and sound tracks are
combined into one object, so all cut and move actions effect both in the same
manner. However, if you have created a separate sound track, which isn't connected
to the image material, it is recommended that you create a group before your editing
operations. To do so, select the video object and the audio object via "Ctrl" + click,
and in the "Edit" menu select the "Group" option (or click the group tool).
All cutting functions (as well as all other editing processes in MAGIX Video Pro X5)
are non-destructive. This means that the original material on your hard drive will not
be altered.
Importing individual scenes from longer movies
If you have saved a longer video as a file on your hard disk and only want to use a
section of it for your project, then proceed as follows:
• Double click the desired file in the Media Pool. Double-click the file to load it in
the source monitor and play it back using the transport controls.
• Find the range which you would like to import. Position the playback marker
above the transport control at the start position of the range and click the "Set in
point" button.
