You could presumably copy user defined templates from other versions of MEP into your current one. This seems to be a 'You can -- sort of." I've tried briefly between VPX 2.5 and MEP 14 Plus, and between those two and MEP 2013 Premium

RE: video format supported by Magix Music Maker 12 deluxe

Glock228, Adding to George's detailed reply, Music Maker is a basic audio composing and editing program; I don't think it can import video at all. For this function you would need either Magix's Pro grade 'Samplitude' (at a pro price!) if your

jmorrell, Assuming you meant '...take the color and texture from (the picture)...', I think all you need to do is apply the alpha effect to your title, not the picture below it. Alpha effect makes that track control whether you see the track

RE: How To Make Very Fine Audio Adjustments To Sync With Video?

I'd say the problem is simply that MEP snaps objects to what it thinks is the smallest possible division -- a single video frame. That make sense for video but not for fine placement of audio. If going for more virtual frames isn't enough, what

RE: MEP 2013: Minor bug in object display

Hi John, Must be some misunderstanding here, as I'm definitely not following you on this. MEP 16 Plus had the full 99 tracks (as did MEP 17, 15 and 14.) There were 14 zoom levels in all those versions, more than enough. And level 1 included
