Load Files
Media files can be loaded into the arranger from the Media Pool in several different
ways:
• The fastest way: Click on the "Paste" option that appears when you move the
mouse pointer over the file in the Media Pool. Or you can simply drag and drop
the file from the Media Pool onto a track. If an object is already present at this
position, the file is inserted at the same time position on the next empty track
below.
• Load several files: If you want to load several files, hold down the "Ctrl" key while
clicking on the entries you want to use. If you want to load a sequence of files,
hold the "Shift" key and click the first entry and then the last. All entries in
between will be selected. Then you can drag all of the selected files into the
arranger by holding down the mouse button.
• Use insert modes: You can also use the menu commands that are accessible
through the "Insert Mode" button. For more about this, read the section "Insert
modes (view page 47)" in the chapter "Workspaces".
• In
sert through a two, three or four-point edit: These professional insert
techniques will be dealt with separately later on (view page 103).
• Project temp
folder: Using a project temp folder is recommended if you want to
collect your material separately. It can be used as a sort of clipboard that stores
files that might be used in the project. This creates a better overview and saves
repetitive, annoying navigation through folders in the Media Pool.
Files with multiple audio tracks
MAGIX Video Pro X5 also loads VOB files that contain multiple audio tracks. After
the VOB file has been loaded, simply click the audio object created and select the
desired audio track.
Note: To view and select audio objects in the arrangement, Timeline mode must be
active.
