Rotation - highly flexible method from wabu

This follows up on a subject we first discussed a month ago in http://www.magix.info/uk/movie-edit-pro-2013-how-to-rotate-image.knowledge.891387.html There's a far better way of handling rotation which wabu has designed. He pointed me to his

RE: When I look at my timeline view in Movie Edit Pro MX, I have several scenes that are no showing up in my Storyboar or Scenes view. Also when I burn the the movie to DVD, it only burns whats in the scenes view. How can I fix this?

Hi. The only possibility that springs to mind is that these "missing" scenes are on tracks that are "muted"; the video/audio objects themselves will be still visible on the Timeline but MEP will ignore them. Another thought has occurred whilst

RE: how to save video clip in timeline to save as JPEG in movie edit pro

Can't see how yours could be any better. Hi Carl, As I said, that particular example shows little difference, but I assume you've seen at least some of my many examples where the contrast is very obvious? In some cases, screenshots which

RE: Problem with Fades / Transitions not working properly MEP 2013

Thanks for the reply, Trial versions (and download purchases vs box sets) don't come with all the transitions, design elements, DVD templates etc. I figured that and that's ok (and yep I've already extended my trial). I'm not after

RE: Movie Edit Pro 2013 - how to rotate image around specific point?

Hi cpc000cpc, Yeah you're right, another solution is pasting the image in a blank/transparent canvas and attempting to center it in the right location. That's probably the easier solution until Magix can add anchor points.

RE: how can I delete single points in an audio track?

But this would require MEP/VPX to have much more sophisticated MIDI capability, I think. For video it would certainly mean implementing track transparency, that's why I restricted the request to audio. Page 45 of the x4 pdf manual under

RE: Mental model for working with alpha masks?

I think of masks as mirrors with some areas of silver removed -- you see what's in front (higher number track) Bingo! You're a star, Carl, that's exactly what I was looking for. (I wasn't far out with my tentative conjecture earlier,

RE: Mental model for working with alpha masks?

Hi John, I'm going to have to read that again in the morning a few times, after a large coffee! But right now I still don't grasp how I can see anything if the highest track number (the 'top' layer) contains a simple image or video. It's opaque.

Thanks John, didn't know that. But it doesn't affect my question about an alpha object does it? Am I right about alpha adding transparency to objects in tracks above it (i.e. higher track numbers)? That still seems the only way I can square what

I guess you have one of the latest MEP-versions. Place the image (logo) on the track under the Title, mark it and go to Effects > Movement effects < Size/Position. You now see the logo surrounded by yellow rectangles, reduce the size of
