This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Mask Generator and Chromakey Alpha effects to create a custom transition from a video clip. Update 03/08/2018: the tutorial now includes how to save the transition and use it in another project   Brilliant! I have just found this post and it has allowed me to create a transition that I always thought was a serious omission from most video editors as a

Hi,  thought it may be worth sharing a possible solution that i worked out for the MusicMaker 2013 Premium Magix "Vita could not find the file not found VST Instruments" error. A video i made of the solution is on Youtube - An error was coming up after i installed Magix Music Maker 2013 (this may apply to other versions to?).The VST Instruments would not load.Vita reported a file could not be

Bait and switch! You buy this crap, then have to buy more software- to get it to work. The staff at best buy were useless- knew nothing about it. Except that I needed Microsoft 10. I have a brand new gaming laptop. But the magix movie maker is not loading on it. This is how they responded: . "- Make sure that the correct version of the redistributable is installed. If it is not, you should be

Good idea to update the tutorial John. I like the idea of each channel that is linked gets a blue rectangle around it to show at a glance which channels are active. I also like the way volume levels are relative to each other when moved. This is much more useful than each slider changing direction by the same amount and keeps volumes relative to each other. The mixer is now more useful to me than

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

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    

I thought I commented here a couple of months ago, but seems I didn't. I wanted to add that after I upgraded Windows 7 in-place to Windows 10, I had big problems with VPX. So I uninstalled and reinstalled with the same issues. i followed the above PDF and it seemed to almost work, as symptoms were different. I uninstalled again, followed the PDF again, then manually searched for 'MAGIX', 'Video

Hi, As I suggested in my earlier post, please post this question in the Movie Edit Pro forum, where others can contribute and learn.

Try as I may I can't set up Magix email on my Android mobile phone, none of the above settings work yet my other email programme's, Outlook and Gmail virtually set up themselves in a matter of a few minutes. My only option is to open a web browser which seems a rather outdated and laborious task. @ajer12 you should try to use the guide from the magix-online.com faq:

I had problems with MEP 17 not recognizing my dvd burner and some other minor issues.  Following the instructions suggested in this PDFworked perfectly.

Hi John, First I want to apologize for not answering sooner:  I was away for a few days.   Thank you very much for your reply.  I  am including screen shots of -first screenshot- what I want to achieve- both images shown simultaneously;  second,  what I get with  arrow pointing up;  and third,  guess this is the right one, finally,  with arrow pointing down.   After examining very

Hello, I finally solved the problem with the audio.  It had to do with the settings . Now I have one question.  I have not been able to achieve the effect of seeing the two images at the same time on the screen,  one fading out the other fading in.  Could you please give an explanation of how this is done? What I get,  after applying the spice,  is a rather abrupt change from one clip to

So after tons of playing with this, it appears that you have to go through about 8 steps to find the audio settings, then you can only lister to Music Maker OR any other  program on your pc?? attached is a screenshot. it only gives me two options: enable 1. high definition audio OR 2. ws audio  high def audio is music maker. when that's on, no other audio on my pc is enabled. ws audio is

Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial.    I have been screen capturing tutorials and saving them, so I can watch them as much as I like.   Everything has been fine until recently when trying to capture this tutorial,  the voice is so much distorted after finishing recording that is very hard for me to understand what is being said.  It is ok when I listen to it while being recorded

Whoops! I should have said that I can get no sound on any of the tutorials, not just yours. I don't seem to have any other sound problems.

Here is the link to the . Strange that you can't hear the sound. I just tried it and it works fine, and others have heard the sound ok. Can you hear the sound on other tutorials posted here?

Sadly, I feel that the whole process of having to install and activate the MPEG codecs is a waste of money, time and effort as the cost of the codecs is minimal they should be built into the price of the product - as they are in most software that produces video output. There are so many additional problems involved with the installation and activation of the codecs as is obvious from the

Hi Matt, This method uses section and zoom under Size/Position. I could not find a way to use Camera/Zoom and maintain the split screen properly. Camera/zoom is a movement effect that moves the frame, creating the impression of camera movement or zoom. It overrides the split screen part. Remember that the top image, that is the one sitting on top (track 2)  is the one that shows up first.

Scott Sounds like your restoration work not only brings the recipient happiness (who doesn't need more of that?), it also brings back to life photos thought unusable.  It puts a smile to my face to hear of other people willing to do things for free because of the reward of helping others.  Your work and wisdom is noble and should inspire others. I too am in the building industry, an

Thank you so much John,    This has helped me tremendously as I coloborate with outside composers sometimes and have been having some challenges with it. I have one more question, I am doing the final master of the album and want the volume level to be consistent. The coloborators track is a completed and is in a wave format, and I want it to be a little louder. The other tracks are at 64

Just wondering, does VHS to DVD have a different version of magix included with it? I bought the Video Converter box with Magix in it (SE) and updated to the Windows 8 version. The version I have doesn't seem to have some of the functions you mentioned, Such as export and finishing time. You can't see the dropped frame as well (which would be handy). Another question (which has bugged me from
