X6

Quick start 31
All of the cutting functions are non-destructive (as are all of the editing functions in
MAGIX Video Pro X6). This means that all original material will remain unchanged
on your hard drive.
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.
• Next, position the playback marker at the end of the section and click the "Set out
point" button.
• The currently selected range appears highlighted in blue in the range display. You
can playback this range separately with the "Playback range" button.
• All range limits can be moved by holding down the mouse button and dragging.
Once the range matches the section that you want to import, click on the preview
monitor and drag the section onto the track. An object will appear featuring the
material you wanted to import. If you're not sure where you would like to use the
section in the project, you can drag it into the project folder instead of onto the
track.
Tip: You can also edit files that are located in the project folder in the same way. A
shortened file also contains information in the project folder about in and out points
so that you don't always need to reset these in case the video needs to be re-
imported at a later time. You can also drag each file directly from the Media Pool
into the project folder.
