Another week, no bug fixes. I have found another irritant. Occasionally, after working on a project for a couple of hours, something that I do causes the playback marker to only playback from the start. Switching to another movie, it works fine. Go

RE: VPX10 - Updated bug list as at patch 16.0.2.322

I tried a trial and every EDL I exported crashes Samplitude. VEGAS AAFs are a complete mess. Resolve uses DNxHD/R video and MXF wrapped audio, which (one of them) causes Samplitide to crash every single time. That being said, I really don't like the

RE: Editing an audio track

@CubeAce Hi Ray, No, the problem is upstream of ME3. You can link other audio programs in Program Settings, Folders as the External Audio Editor. In MEP/VPX as I have shown, the right-click command to Edit Wave Externally does not show up on MP4,

RE: Editing an audio track

@Scenestealer Hi Peter, Not quite. The command does not show up in either MEP2019 or VPX10 on mp4, mov and mts files, which is why it's #2 on the bug list for VPX. As you can see in the video, it worked in MEP2016, but was fragile, and it worked in

RE: Editing an audio track

@CubeAce Hi Ray, No. No danger of affecting the source audio of a video clip. The audio is mixed-down and a new file created which is sent out to the external audio editor. This new file does get modified in the external audio editor when exiting

RE: Editing an audio track

RE: Encoder delays video/advances audio out of sync MEP17

For stretching audio, I've learned that: You can't simply grab the end of the audio clip in the Arranger and drag it to the new length. Time stretch is an Audio Effect based on Tempo, not duration, which means having to convert the desired positive

Hi, welcome to the Magix forums. MOV files do, indeed, require that Quicktime be installed; I wonder whether your "quicktime alternative" is really not suitable for what you need? This page is the one where you can download and install the latest

RE: Any Adjustment Needed For New GForce GT710 1GB Video Card?

I never answered John EB's question: "the use of MOV files on your web site instead of MP4" The only reason (at this point) is because MEP15 will not allow me to export to MP4 @ 1080X720. If I export to a QT movie it will. However again I hope this

Hi I think you misunderstood - External drives can be bottle necks so don't change! OK, so you said SD, but 720(P?) is actually classified as HD just not Full HD. As far as I can remember MEP15 was not optimised for HD. Thanks for the Additional
