Hi: I'm pretty new to SAMPLITUDE Studio Pgm. and have latency problem using my Nectar MIDI-controller - how to make correct adjustments? Many thanks for any help...!

@tranceful @Jesse-Torres The "Elastic Audio" component was superseded by the more streamlined "Vocal Tune" years ago. You'd still find this in the same manner as "Elastic Audio", e.g. by right-clicking on an audio object to bring up the context menu, and going to the "Pitch & Tempo" sub menu => "Vocal Tune" option. The current hotkey is "S". In the more current product generations that use

@Vitaly Hi, There are 2 different ways of using masks in MEP. The first way, and what you are referring to is done by masking an effect on a single video or photo. See the tutorial indicated below, particularly from 8:30 onwards. You either create or load a mask using the dropdown arrow of an effect, Create effect mask or Load effects mask. This puts the effect onto the track below the video and

Hi and thanks for this tutorial. I'm trying to follow it but there is something I don't quite understand. I'm talking about a small title, at the bottom, that you start explaining from 4:20. I can't seem to figure out how to apply that mask with chromakey with alpha effect. As far as I understand, we can only apply a mask to an effect that has a particular icon (rectangle with a circle inside in

John, Thank you for these introductory videos. They will certainly save me lots of time and frustration once I finally get to actually editing some video.   In the mean time I am really struggling with how to either record decent quality video, or record elsewhere and import into MEP. I have had no success at either thus far.Do you know of any tutorials that teach how to record with MEP? I've

Thank you John. The best of any tutorial I've seen since buying the program. I'd guess that not even 15% of the You Tube videos are worthwhile and I concur with your assessment on the information contained in your beginning tutorials. They probably save people about a year of trial and error experimentation. This program is a bear to learn so thanks again for a great contribution to the cause.

Hi Greg, I have started a new Getting Started in MusicMaker tutorial more than once, never finished. If you buy Plus or Premium, look at some of the other threads about activation, downloading and installing. There is a tutorial about this at: https://www.magix.info/us/tutorials/how-to-unlock-functions-instruments-soundpools-and-presets--1200673/ John CB

Thanks John, I must have had video issues. I went to YT and subscribed to your videos. I'm really interested in learning how to use Music Maker to make some nice pads for Worship service. We are a small church and only have a pianist, guitarist and me as a drummer. Looking to create a fuller sound. So this shall be an interesting journey for me. Again thanks!  

@Greg-Kavonius The title of the tutorial is "Getting Started in Music Maker 2015 Premium..." Of course it's outdated - 2015 should be a tipoff, no? The video still works, I just tried it, and it's also on my YT channel. The newer versions are quite different, but some of the fundamentals are the same. John CB

Very outdated and you can no longer access the video. Pretty sad!    

Thank you for the tutorial! However, I am not able to replicate that. I even contacted tech support and they were unable to replicate it either and have forwarded it to the developers. Clearly you are able to, but on export, mine reverts to 16:9. I have attached my process and the email from tech.

Having experience of Proshow Producer I thought I would be able to fathom out how to do pan and zoom effects although it would not be the same easy route as Proshow. It was easy to do transitions in Photostory Deluxe 2016 but I am still confused on how to do pan and zoom effects. The amount of effects etc. Photostory can do according to the demo files makes it seem a bargain at the price as

Using MM19 here, there's no way to edit an object from the soundloop... no menu, no button, only properties...? Also, the Pitches button with down arrow at the top right on the arranger screen is always greyed out... So does this mean you're stuck with whatever key the soundloop was recorded in, and cant change it? Also, some of the loops are longer, some are shorter. If the longer ones dont

I just purchased Magix 2019 Plus Edition and it does not have Elastic Audio included and all the videos I saw of it shows it included so since I planned on upgrading and this was supposed to be on this version I bought it. Can someone please give some info on this matter?

Hi Anna, As mentioned in the post directly above yours, 6th June 2017, it's better to post in the main MEP forum. 🙂 However ... you fade in titles the same way as any other object, by dragging the fade handle at its start and/or end. I'd recommend you view John Brown's basic introductory tutorials. Best wishes, Terry, East Grinstead, UK    

Hi Terry, I was wondering how to make the titles fade in and out in the 2019 version of Movie Edit Pro. Is it possible to do this?

Helpful vid but needs to go into more detail and actually show what can be eliminated or enhanced.

Another excellent tutorial! And a subject that few users will have seen. John CB

Hi, See the next tutorial on Basic Editing - part 2, at about 1:20 in. Make sure that the preview window is wide enough for the jog wheel and slider to show up. If not, drag the right side of the window to the left to make it wider. John CB

@terrypin I have to admit, I never got around to making my own collage and saving it for reuse until now. It worked perfectly in VPX. I thought that there was some trick to replacing the template images with new images by renaming them. I was wrong. My niece visited last week and left me 500 photos, portrait mode, to turn into a video. There are various themes, like a dozen or so photos of a

Well done, John, and thank you! I was wondering how those parameters worked. You voice-over was very good. John CB
