Start and end markers
The section between the start (S) and end marker (E) above the storyboard or the first track of the
timeline will be played back in your show each time.
The start and end markers can be moved
in different ways by using the mouse. You
can move them to any position with drag
& drop or directly with a mouse click:
Left clicking in the timeline moves the
start marker, and right clicking moves the
end marker.
The cursor is a red vertical line which
moves from left to right during playback
to show the current playback position.
If you want to see play back your show, press the space bar or start the slideshow via the transport
console below the preview window.
Optimizing your photos
MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD 8 deluxe
provides a lot of different editing functions for picture and sound. Let's start with "Storyboard" mode:
In this case, you'll see each
individual picture in a so-called
"photo box". Each photo box has
a number of settings for duration,
fades, effects, and text:
Set display time:
Double clicking on the clock lets
you enter how long the photo
should be shown for.
Add title and text:
Titles (for example, subtitles, opening/closing credits)
can be added to every photo. Click on "Text". The
title editor is ready with a number of text design
variations.
Fades:
Between the photos you'll find the buttons for the
transitions (fades). Simply drag the start marker to just
before the beginning of a picture and the end marker
to behind it and press the space bar. The range
between the start and end markers will be played
back as an endless loop. Now you can try out the
fades one after the other and view the result
immediately in the video monitor.
