  RE: Exasperating that volume curve cannot be dragged!
  Hi John, Yes, the Volume Reduction feature I mentioned is indeed handy. But as Peter reminded me it generates what Magix calls a Track Curve as distinct from the Volume Curve you can create manually. (I've always been foggy about the

  RE: Changing multiple KFs: Bug?
  Peter, Carl, Thanks both. I'll try those suggestions in two or three weeks when I get back. But I must say that on the evidence so far this looks extraordinarily strangely designed to me. I'd have thought a simple + or - button could do the

  RE: Changing multiple KFs: Bug?
  Thanks both, this is getting interesting.   Carl, I tried to reproduce your steps exactly (although I think you were changing zoom, as in my original report, not width?) This is MEP 2014 13.0.2.8 (UDC2). But for me, only the first KF

  RE: Can I add a running timestamp to the time lapse movie ?
  Hi,   You don't say what version of MEP you're using, nor the scale of your time lapse (minutes? weeks?). But all recent versions have a feature that might offer a work around.   Or for better quality:

  RE: [Closed] Cropping Problems With Magix Movie Edit Pro MX Plus
  Appreciate the responses and suggestions.   One thing I found was the free transform, but  I still couldn't get it to crop as I wanted, and zooming in cuts out too much of the part I want to keep.   These are 50 and 60+ year old family films, and
