AH ... HAaaa! Eureka !! I have found it. Although the stack I made in the comments above works fine, the stack you provided in your pdf file needs a bit of extra explanation. You mention chromakey but you don't mention what to do in that effect. The effect was a clear circle and a sand effect on the outside of the circle. (I use sand for distortion) So, to get the right effect I reversed the

Thanks John for this tutorial. However, I am using MEP2014 plus and your instructions did not work in this version. When I stacked according to your instructions I got the reverse of what was expected: the white part was clear and the clear part was mozaic (I used sand). When I added the second .png in the stack as illustrated, it had no effect. So I tried something else: I reversed the order

Hi Ari, For some reason, I can't respond to or send you a private message. I had been meaning to comment on the one page version but never got around to it. This version is excellent! Good work! The only other things I can think of are: A list of styles/genre in the left column with the Soundpool version in the right hand column. This is the inverse of what you have. Addition of

2014.02.15 The modified uploaded file still does not work. Here is the version above but from Dropbox. It is the same as I uploaded to Magix Tutorials, except it works......I hope: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hts6ayvlosb32x3/Tutorial%2001%20VdG2MEP_r1.mp4 I will try a different export version on Sunday night.

this pdf is a mix of some english and mostly gerrman any chance of getting a version that is all english?   I am sure others may want the document in other languages as well.  

Hi Terry,   Great tutorial. I am just in the test phase, having bought my Movie Edit Pro 2013 and I'm  hoping I can do more with the titles.    Other software I've used have had title templates, colourful, graded colours, etc.   I can't seem to find any 'interesting' title presets. I would like to...say...have the word Holiday, in two or three graded colours, and with a shadow or glo,

On the contrary, MEP 16 Plus (and later versions) make it very easy to use 3D Titles. Or for better quality: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4019461/MEP16-3DTitles.jpg   -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

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

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,

I have the same problem with version 4.0. Either image or sound or none sometimes.. and the tape keeps running on the VCR ! And the "thing" costs 60 Euro! Ouch!

Looking at the dates on these comments and the same negative comments version after version I am sorry I purchased this software. It is obvious that Magix is not responsive to it's current customers needs and therefore new costumers should not be surprised at the lack of helpful documentation and product support. I'm starting to doubt whether the software actually function as advertised. Not a

I have a similar problem with version 2. Verty frustrating. My sound bar does not flicker to show recording although the video does yet nothing, i.e. sound or video, in thye file when transfer is activated. Waste of 2 hours of time!

Excellent.  However, does anyone have a similar "how to" to get the soundpools for MM17 Premium?? I've followed all installation instructions, but the instruments just do not show up. I think the files get dumped to "C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Applications/Magix/Music_Maker_17_Premium_Download_Version/" I can't find anything in the manual that helps. Any help out there

"My second track is behind the first track when i listen to both, it looks like a latency problem yes; but the pdf above does not say anything about it."   I have the exact same issue. I have two versions of the same song. I want them both to play at the exact same time. I used the metrodome but I can't figure out how to  syc both objects. I figure there should be a click of a something to

Hi SMcQ,   I tried the free trial version first and I specifically wanted the programme for 3d editing, so the free trial will enable you to do that. Also while I think of it, if you do buy it, there is an option in the help tab to download extras, which include all the titling, design features and many other things that will otherwise be missing. It's a big download, but well worth

I have Music Maker 16 but your tutorial was very helpful and very king of you to set up. Not sure why but some sounds are still not available but I will upgrade to the Premium version. Many thanks Porter247  

Hey : ) I use Movie Edit Pro but you need a second version because running the same version twice might cause problems. best regards : ) CommiXV

 There are many versions of each magix product (made for different areas of the world and languages). If you are using a UK version of one of the programs and you try to use material from north american dvds it may not work. This is because dvds from europe and north america are in different formats. I am by no means an expert especially when it comes to video editing software but I believe in

This is for an older version (10), but is still helpful in starting to find your way around the program.  Thanks.

Useless... Wrong version. Will looka at something else as this is ridiculous.
