I agree with Taumaterea, and would add that the procedure described would result in a cross fade transition.  A jump cut, as I understand it, is simply going from one scene to the next with no transition.

anyone have the template for the promotional video they show on their website? i'd love to just replace my photos in it. thanks. 

this is what i see in program settings

Excellent, i've learned a lot. Million thanks. Can you teach me how to make a dancer dance in front of the landscape? or singer singing on the stage even if is not actually on it? Thanks again...

The tutorial for MEP 15 is worthless for MEP 16 even though the author says "many" of the menus are the same. The particular menu for the title editor is NOT the same and does NOT work as the tutorial video demonstrates for MEP 15. There are many title options in MEP 16 that once selected, the user is directed to use the editor in the "title menu" which simply does not exist. MEP 16 is a total

Would it be possible to add the information directly into the forum instead of an attachment in the future?

Rulew, If you search for Auto-Tune you will not find it. In Magix it is called "Elastic Audio". Follow the steps above (1-5) to get the "Auto-Tune" like effect. I hope that helps.

It didn't work for me.  I found I had to establish the keyframes first, then modify the middle one.  It makes for a streamlined workflow. 1.  Import the picture. 2.  Go to Effects/Movement Effects/Size/Position. 3.  Set a keyframe at the beginning, middle, and end of the object. 4.  Click on the middle keyframe icon in the effects timeline. 5.  Change the width to 1 and tab out of the

Hi I liked your fun vid, the vibrant colours really added a psychedelic quality to the animation! I liked the Jazzy intro music too.... is it still possible to obtain the swing disc? I am using Magix Music Maker 2005 Deluxe ( which I got working on Windows 7 ! ) and have recently discovered the included video making tools. They seem like great fun and amazingly versatile! Something puzzles me

I was hoping to find out if colors in the 3D titles can be changed and, if so, how that is done.

Yes, I agree. Effect Masks is one of the features not included in the basic versions (both MX and 2013). Looks like I've slipped into the bad habit of assuming everyone knows I have the premium versions. My tutorial was carelessly headed, and should have explicitly said 'It was done using MEP 2013 Premium'. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

That effect mask Oval8_1920x1080.jpg is included in MEP 17, MX and 2013 (premium versions) assuming you've added all extra files via Help > Free download. And as the tutorial says, it's just an example. There are 34 in the folder here. And the post clearly says: "It was done using MEP 2013 but the steps should be identical or very similar in earlier versions." -- Terry, East Grinstead,

The PDF-file You created said: How to use Effect Masks in Movie Edit Pro But it is: How to use Effect Masks in Movie Edit Pro 2013 Premium I m using Movie Edit Pro MX In Movie Edit Pro MX You can´t use that Effect Mask You pointed out in Your PDF-file.

That is where after the edits have been made (choosing which camera) you can set one of the original tracks to be the master audio track (I recommend the track that starts the multi-cam track itself). This will replace the audio in edited track with the original - thus no breaks.

Fab - thanks for this. I was starting to get frustrated as I couldn't find anything about pitchbend in the user guide.

Thanks for the concise tutorial on multicam editing. In your future tutorials, can you show how to further edit the multicam track, i.e. how to add different transitions to the cuts, change the locations of the cuts and also remove a cut that is mistakenly selected, without starting from scratch. Thanks.

I also have had a speed problem after recording track 1 in DAT modus. Trying to record track 2, the playback from track 1 was faster. Making some tests, I’ve found out that if I record the 2nd track in CD-modus the playback speed of track1 went back to normal. Recording in CD-modus is a bit noisier but hardly recognizable by adding more tracks to the arrangement.

The suggestion to turn off aspect ratio was very helpful but what about the 'automatic adjustment' option? I already have the resolution of my desktop set to 1920x1200 in an attempt to get the best possible recording. So what does 'adjust resolution to selection range' do? Can I get even better results in combination with a capture card?

I am still in a disput with MAGIX because I want my money back. This is an extreme unconfortable program. I have a photo story with 160 pictures, but I can not add narration, nor music. I always get the message: the selected folder is passwort protected.

I still am kinda of confused. I understand about cashing in the voucher and I did and I downloaded the 2000 sound  package just fine (I think). But what do you do next cause I dont know computers that well. Are you suppose to be able to put them in your sound pool, or how do you use them if not form the sound pool?  If they are in My Doucuments what do I do next to be able to use them? The

You're welcome.  And, thank you for letting me know it was helpful. Hopefully, it was as clear and easy to follow as I was trying to make it.  It's probably easier to use a hardware MIDI keyboard controller, but if you don't have one, this method will work in a pinch.  

Thank you, John, for a very well done tutorial which I've found interesting and easy to follow. You are obviously skillful in explaining things and should be a teacher! Looking forward to see more of your tutorials in the future.

I need some help!!! I'm a first time Magix user, and I have a short story togher. And I.m trying to see what is the best way to make this work on my website. I'm using dreamweaver and I'm not having any luck. Can some point me in the right way? Thank's Mike
