why have you stopped allowing the import of .psd files I have used Video Pro X for several years without and major issues and on the last big update the software no longer allows the import of psd files I use pre drawn images of railway signals that have taken hours of work All to Scale as a result of your changes have had to resort to redrawing all the signals in png format but as of yet I have not been able to come up with suitable method of scaling the images and I am now having to resize on the timeline each time I use an image

Hi, welcome to the Magix forums.

I don't have Photoshop so no .psd files readily available. However, I am very surprised if VPX does not allow the import of such a "standard" (almost) image file format.

Is it possible for you to upload one of your affected files somewhere (not to the forum since I suspect the forum software will alter or compress it) for others to download and test on their machines?

Confirmed PSD file import is not working in VPX 16.0.1.255. Works OK in Movie Edit Pro 17.0.3.177

Please file a bug report (support request) here

If you are using Photoshop have you considered using the Batch conversion function to take the existing PSD's and convert to PNG?

I have used Corel Paintshop Pro for batch conversion of PSD files to another format.
