Good advice for beginners: to begin, just put some visuals and sounds on the timeline. It would help to make the tutorial a bit less wordy and cut out frames of the desktop; get to the point and stick to it, as my writing coach would say. Thanks for posting.

Hi John, I don't use either of those add-on programs but after viewing both videos I was highly impressed. As clearly and professionally presented as any tutorial I've seen. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

Very good tutorial for Music Maker users. nihon94

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?

hey man, i couldnt hear your video, it looked good though, thanks 4 the feed back. now all i have 2 do is figure out y i cant hear your tutorial. 

Thankyou for the tutorial, I would like to expand the range of collages I can use, but I've been unable to find the Collages folder on Win 7.- Open the \Collages folder. On my XP PC that's at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MAGIX\Movie Edit Pro 2014 Premium\VideoEffects\Collage\ but Win 7, 8 (and soon 10) systems will be different. Anyone able to help?  Thanks!

I am completely frustrated.  I would like to learn how to zoom and pan for slide show; just getting to this help page has been arduous and I still haven't found the answer to my question ... would like to see a video tutorial on slide transitions.

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.

Thanks for the video tutorial it has helped me understand the cutting process in Magix Pro.

Excellent! Thank you. I knew this kind of processing already, but it's a good reminder for my tutorial gallery!

I´m starting to think this program is just a waste of my $$$ and time. when i try to copy minidv video tapes i get either video or audio, and most of the times none!!!!! Plus this program needs several options in the menus and there´s no tutorials explaining it!! THANK YOU MAGIX!!!!!  

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

I wished that I had read these comments before I purchased this software. I'm convinced that there are a lot of possibilities but after 1 week and more than 15 hours trial and error I'm still there were I started. Can't find any 'how to' video tutorial. My powerpoint presentations are looking far more professional than the slideshows I create in Magix BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND ANY TUTORIAL ON HOW

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.

Hi, I am just about to attempt this to stretch a soundpool slighly to fit a short video clip of walking with snowshoes. Your short tutorial has simplified what I have been reading in the manual. Thanks,

gut tutorial. Dank Particle

  "Still"? When was your last post? I don't see it. (9 months since my last reply here.) The reason for your problem seems to be that you are editing a standard title or possibly a file (hard to tell with the low res screenshot that magix allows). You should be editing the 3D title as described in my tutorial and in Help and the PDF manual. Ctrl+E brings up the Properties dialog in that

Purchasing Magix PhotoStory was a mistake. This program has a sophisticated user interface, but there are no tutorials. I don't recommend it to anybody. 

Hello hounddoggy56,   thanks for your request. I just had done that tutorial in german, but you can get the same (online) tutorials in english by visiting the samplitude website:   http://www.samplitude.com/en/category/tutorials   If you want, you can copy it and create your own *.pdf document!

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,

thank you for your help, still going through the pdf tutorial, I am experimating with music maker  control 2013  I will check it out and see what I will happen.................

Hi Wojciech,   I don't have or know of any tutorial specifically on 'stunning text effects'. But if you learn the basic techniques of fades, transitions and key frame animation then you should be able to create a wide variety of them. Study those basics in the Help or the PDF manual and by browsing (and searching) the Q&A and Forum sections of this site. Then if you need more detailed

Hi. I am a newbie hier. I noticed your tutorials which are really helpful (except one- YT movie is being blocked in Germany because of music used there... Germany is a strange country;))) Ok. I wanted to ask you if you have any tutorial on how to create stunning floating text effects. This is exactly what I need most now... that within my movie texts appear, disappear, float and so

Hello, I just bought the Magix music maker MX but I can't find the function that I am looking for. For example, the guitar chords, I don't know if I am on chord C or G or F or etc. Also I can't find where to go if I want to change the chord C to C7 or C minor for example. Can anybody show us here how to find these functions? because the manual that comes with it has no step by step method. This
