Welcome to the Magix (note: not Magic) user to user forums.
First, please don't post all in CAPITALS! Forum Etiquette defines that as SHOUTING and is likely to lead to other users ignoring your posts!
Second, please don't post the same thing twice! I have hidden your duplicate post.
I have never used the facility to cut whilst playing so have no idea whether it worked in earlier versions but I agree it doesn't in VDL 2026. (Personally, I would always prefer to stop the playback prior to making any cut since I want to be sure it is exactly where I want it to be!)

Hi
. . . . I was able to cut or split video while playing the video in 2022 MAGIC . . . .
Was this originally with Vegas Movie Studio 17 or earlier, which IIRC could split while playing the timeline?
If so this product was discontinued in 2021 and what you have now, Video deluxe 2026 is from a different Magix product line which was previously known as Movie Edit Pro, then renamed to Magix Movie Studio and is now Video deluxe.
Video deluxe and its predecessors have never been able to split video while playing the timeline.
Do note that when posting give the correct full name of the program, Magix is the company not the product name, and Magic video editor, is not a Magix product

Hi,
I checked back to Magix Movie Edit Pro 2015 and cutting using T on the fly did not work. As far as I know, it never did. Like John EB, I believe that I saw this in Vegas Movie Studio or Vegas. It's one of those tools that I find of questionable value as the time it takes for the brain to say "I should cut here" and send the message to your finger, the moment has passed and the cut will not be in the right place, requiring adjustment later.
As well, the Magix programs apply the cut using T to whatever is at the location of the playback marker, all tracks. To cut just one object, you first have to select it.
One way to do something similar if you just want to get close to where you should make a cut, is to place Snap markers. These can be placed during playback using Ctrl+P. Afterwards, you can then go from Snap marker to Snap marker, shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Page Down, adjust the playback marker to where you really want to cut, then press T.
