Is there a way to play the same frame of a video for a select amount of time?
If you want to achieve the effects of a single frame within a motion video freezing for a certain amount of time in Movie Edit Pro, this is how it's done:1.) Open Movie Edit Pro and load the video you want to apply this effect to.2.) Locate the position/frame you want to freeze within the project using the play cursor. Make sure that you're working in timeline mode for the highest precision and best ease of use. The picture you want to freeze most now show up in the preview monitor.3.) Now, you need to extract a still copy of this frame from the video into a graphics file. In order to do this, go to the following position in the program: "File" menu => "Export movie" sub menu => "Single frame as BMP (or JPEG)". This will bring up a simple export dialogue where you mostly just need to name the exported graphics file and specify a location for it to be saved.4.) Right after you've confirmed the frame export dialogue to save the picture and you're back in the main screen of Movie Edit Pro, hit the "T" key on the keyboard, while the play cursor is still in the right position, to split up the video clip at that position (where you want to insert the still frame you have just exported).5.) Hold down your left mouse button on the video object part to the right-hand side of the split and pull it further to the right to open up a gap that is as long as the time period you want to freeze the frame for. Now locate the exported still picture on your hard drive in Movie Edit Pro's media pool and drag & drop it down into the gap between the two parts of the video. Now you might still want to make adjustments as far as picture duration and video object positions are concerned and you're done.This would be my approach. Hope it helps. This technique allows for great artistic possibilities.

Why format of video 16:9 is recognised by Magix as 4:3 how can i use Magix to edit 16:9 video?
If the aspect ratio of an imported video file is not recognized correctly, you can adjust it manually. Just right-click on the imported object's video track in timeline mode and bring up the "Object properties" dialog. Manually set the aspect ratio to 16:9 in the appropriate drop-down list and confirm the dialog by pressing OK. Make sure to set the preview monitor to the matching aspect ratio, so the video gets displayed correcty.

Delete vocals in a song/ Zangpartij verwijderen uit een bestaand nummer
I'm afraid once the song exists in form of a mixed-down audio file or CD, it's not possible to isolate and remove one element anymore. You would need to have access to the original multitrack recording (e.g. on multitrack tape or as a project file for a sequencer software) in order to be able to simply remove or replace a vocal or instrumental track. The closest thing to this you can do with the mixed-down result of an audio production is the filtering out of certain frequency bands (e.g. the "karaoke" effect), which can muffle elements of the song. However, this doesn't work equally well with all audio material, generally doesn't completely remove the undesired element and usually also affects other elements, resulting in a general deterioration of the music's quality.

How do I add my mobil phone?
You should check in the documentation of your phone, or possibly with the provider/manufacturer, what kind of possibilities and interfaces it provides to communicate with your computer and how you need to go about using them. Some phones will allow for the transmission of data via Bluetooth or infrared interfaces. However, the most reliable way that exists with almost any modern phone is the direct connection to the computer via a data cable. After the connection has been established, you can use the software suite that is provided by the phone's manufacturer to communicate with the phone and transfer data.

Chroma key
I'm afraid while theoretically possible (albeit not in the Magix program) this is practically not feasible. Footage that you want to use for chroma keying effects need to be shot in a studio in front of the appropriately colored background. While manually isolating an object in a still photo works fairly well, trying to apply this technique in the world of motion video would be an extreme challenge and not only require a lot of time and patience, but also a highly specialized software that supports this operation.

how do I cut pieces out of a small scene ?
In order to be able to perform an operation (e.g. copying & pasting or deleting) on just an individual segment of one consistent piece of video, you need to chop up that piece of video into several objects first. The key to all of this is the split function that you can reach via the hot key "T" on your keyboard. Make sure to edit your arrangement in timeline mode. Place the play cursor at the beginning of the segment that you want to cut/copy or delete. Press "T" on the keyboard. You will see that the consistent video object now gets cut up into two video objects at the cursor position, both of which can be manipulated separately from now on. Now, position your cursor at the of the desired segment and press "T" again. Another cut will be placed and you will end up with three objects. You can select the segment in the middle separately and copy or delete it now. Once you get the hang of using the split function to chop up objects in Magix video editing programs into separate objects, you will probably understand pretty intuitively how you can utilize this in your editing process and what technical and create possibilities this offers to you.

How do I convert m4p to mp3 from Magix?
M4P is a protected format that is subject to digital rights management regulations. It cannot be converted to an unprotected format like MP3 for legal reasons. The newest version of Magix MP3 Maker supports playing and converting Apple's unprotected AAC files (M4A). However, for the reason pointed out above M4P is just a no go.

Home page no longer found by google.
I second what Lazerboy wrote. Keep in mind that search engine ranking optimization is a science in its own right. Especially professional websites employ specialists that are exclusively devoted to ranking optimization. Beyond filling out the keywords and description fields in Website Maker, which will be transferred into the appropriate HTML meta tags on your published website, your website's results also depend on external factors, e.g. the number of websites linking to your site and the status of those referrals. You could also manually submit your website's URL to some search engines and web directories to get things going. There are (free) auto-submission services that will help you to bulk submit your URL to a high number of directories. Some of them are a little fishy, though. If you use one of them, make sure to use a dummy e-mail address, as you *will* receive spam...

What the hell happened to the simple Right Click End marker??
Please make sure to properly distinguish between the different kinds of markers in the program here. Music Maker doesn't have the exact same start and end marker concept as Video Deluxe, with the start marker also being the playback cursor. Music Maker features two smaller tracks above the actual content tracks. The lower one of these two with the scale on it can be used to position the play cursor via left click. The upper one is used to encompass the relevant part of the arrangement between a start and an end marker. This end marker is still positioned via right click. You just need to make sure you're in the right track to do this.

Live audio recording delay....
Many factors could lead to excessive latency when performing an audio recording. However, before you invest a lot of time and effort into optimizing your system for improved performance and to become to perfect home recording machine, you should check whether your program is already using ASIO as driver model. Not sure what audio program you're using, but in the program's settings you will find an option to choose the audio driver. Switch to ASIO and pick the ASIO driver of your sound card or the generic "low latency" ASIO drivers from Magix, if your sound hardware doesn't provide ASIO drivers. Latency time should be reduced to a minimum now.I hope this helps.

How can I set up a 3/4 waltz rythym in Music Maker 14
Go into your arrangements properties (e.g. by pressing the "E" key). Among other things, you will find a little drop-down list with different options for the time signature ("beat type") here. Naturally, this merely adjusts the mode and layout of the program. If you're basing your work on ready-made sampling content, you will need the suitable 3/4 material. I hope the future will bring us loads of Magix waltz soundpools. ;-)

Impossible web site to see with Mozilla
Not sure what website you're referring to, but I assume it's just a matter of browser configuration. I'm also successfully viewing every component of the Magix website (including this knowledge community and the Magix online services) with Firefox 2.0. If you're having problems with the Magix website service, make sure to install an up-to-date versions of Adobe Flash Player. The website will function as long as this plugin is available for the browser of your choice, which is definitely the case for Mozilla Firefox.

Sorry, I can't really speak Dutch - but to answer your question, in that version, there is no way to ungroup the audio and video unfortunately. It's not a feature in that product line. You would have to opt for "Video Deluxe" in order to be able to do this.

You could try turning off the cache - go into program settings and click the "no cache" option under playback. That sometimes helps. Otherwise, you could email tech support and maybe they could get to the bottom of it.
