Options
Here you can specify the most important options for the behavior and display of MAGIX Xtreme
PhotoStory on CD & DVD 8 deluxe.
Keyboard shortcut: P
Video standard
PAL is used in Europe; the US and Japan use NTSC. This setting should not be changed.
Preview
The resolution can be reduced for video decoding, but this only has an effect while preview editing. If
playback becomes jerky, then we recommend entering a lower value. The quality of exported videos is
not influenced by this.
Video options
Hardware acceleration for 3D effects
Here you can (de)activate hardware acceleration of your graphics card for 3D effects. You can find
more information about this topic in the "3-D fades"
chapter.
High output quality with dynamic zoom and combination effects
If this option is set, then a newly developed zoom algorithm will be used that provides much more
accurate results. You should, however, only use this option if you own a PC that is capable of handling
processor-heavy tasks. Otherwise export (and invariably disc creation) can take a lot longer.
Reduce bitmap resolution for preview
During playback in MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD 8 deluxe images and photos will be
shown in lower resolution. The quality of the preview will be reduced, but this option helps save
computing resources.
Online Services
Here you can configure the Online Services
you use. You require a connection to the Internet to do this.
System
Automatically fade photos with effects
Loaded photos will be automatically supplied with a crossfade
.
Load CD tracks via record dialog
If this option is activated, then you can record audio CDs via the record button in the transport control.
While dragging & dropping from the file manager the record window where recording starts will be
opened. This option can be used if drag & drop via the file manager does not working properly, or if you
want to record the first bars of an incomplete CD track in the arrangement.
Here you should note that the digital track data from the digital analog converters of the CD-ROM drive
