Hi John, I think that there are some details missing. With the subscription method and updates/upgrades scattered throughout the year, what happens if one doesn't subscribe upon the anniversary date but waits 6 months? Will this be possible?

Hi John. Thanks for this (and I saw your post in the MEP forum also). Interesting idea, I think; just hope it isn't the "MAGIX" version of software by subscription but it certainly has that "feel" - "free updates for one year then a discounted

Basic question, but I can't find a tutorial that seems to cover it. I'm looking to add a green "bar" near the bottom of my video, and add a caption (via the "Title" tool) on top of it. So you've got the video in the background, then the green

RE: How do create a 2.39:1 ratio on a 16:9 TV screen to create a cinema wide scree effect|?

Hi, I'll take a stab at this. You can try to change the resolution of the project to close to the size. For mpeg encoding, the V and H numbers have to be evenly divisible by 8. Thus 1920 and 1080 are both divisible by 8. The size that closely
