  RE: "Scenes" versus "Takes" in MEP parlance.
  @Richard-Curtis Hi Richard, I just tried creating a take and then importing it into a second project. No problem here. I never use takes because I use VPX and even if I was using MEP, I wouldn't use takes. VPX does not allow one to create Takes in

  RE: VIDEO PRO X 11 audio in external editor
  @CubeAce Hi Ray, In your first image showing VPX11 and the two dropdown menus, I can see that you did not use proxy files in VPX, but there is no way to know what is on your timeline in MEP, what you right-clicked on, which version or which program

  RE: VIDEO PRO X 11 audio in external editor
  @CubeAce Hi Ray, We covered this before, more than once, in detail. I told you to not use proxies when you tried right-click on the audio part. Not using proxies, with one exception, any external editor that I have tried (all Magix), nothing shows

  RE: Automatic removal of spaces between clips
  @Scenestealer Hi Peter, Possibly, but not always. I will watch more carefully. One place where I regularly get a 1 frame gap is using right-click, "Insert still image at the playback marker." I never thought to include this in the bug list. It is

  RE: VPX12 New Version now out - New Features - Old bugs?
  @CubeAce Just so that you are perfectly clear on how MEP and other video editors work, they use files from your hard drive on the timeline. No copy is made (unless you use proxies, but that is different); the file is not in the video editor; the

  @CubeAce Hi Ray, I'm glad that you have it sorted out. Remember, the mixdown is just to get a wave file on the timeline. If you already have an audio file (wav, ogg) then no mixdown is required and you can proceed directly to the external
