Design elements in the Media Pool
You will find a wide selection of decorative elements in this category: Templates for
collages, color fields for backgrounds and test images and freely positionable image
objects for animations.
You should first look through all the options and take stock of what there is.
• Open the categories one after the other to get a general impression.
An example of application can be found in pointer objects (Media Pool > Effects >
Design elements > Image objects > Present). These are various arrow symbols, with
an added video mix effect. With them, you can select certain sections of the image.
The design elements create own objects on a different track. You can use the lower
handles to adjust the size of the borders to fit any length of the video. You can also
achieve interesting effects by fading in and out.
Note: Some design elements require track 6 to be empty. When using these, you
will be notified of this before applying them.
My Presets in the Media Pool
Your personal effects configurations in the Media Pool can be saved and applied again
later. You can reach these customized configurations in the Media Pool folder "Effects
> My Presets". They may be dragged onto objects as usual.
First, this folder will be empty, of course, because you still have to create your own
configurations.
Additional Effects
Video effects plug-ins are additional programs from third-party developers that may
be used to add additional video effects to video objects. MAGIX Video Pro X6
supports the plug-in format of the freeware video editing software "VirtualDub", as
well as the "VitaScene" and "Adorage" programs from "proDAD". A selection of
tested VirtualDub plug-ins (.vdf files, also called VirtualDub filters) may be
downloaded as an installer package directly from within MAGIX Video Pro X6.
Important applications for plug-ins include the application of special effects and
useful video editing tools.
