Nice prog, even my 12 years old son can work with it.... And it was the only prog which can read directly video-data from my home hd-cam :-)

"MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 14" It's marketed as a home/family video editor so most of the "pre-sets/samples" do not interest me. However the "video effects" menu option in the editing section seems to me to have a very useful set of comping procedures. The internal help documentation is a massive strength especially compared to the printed manuals and the online support community. I wonder if other, over-the-counter AVI editors (it does more than AVI of course) have similar "hidden" abilities. >adding titles and filters with this video composer you own? I mean filters for color correction and stuff like that. Yes, it can do all those things and far more. My guess is that it can do frame by frame bitmap editing but so far I have only needed to edit whole "takes". A winner for me was the chromakey ability (blue screen and I'm not sure that this can be changed for the app). Because the pre-sets are for family type projects, I have not bothered with its title and text procedures. Prefer to do them in RS. I got it because I wanted something more specialised and extensive than the Windows MovieMaker app that ships with XP. It cost me $NZ160.00.

I do own AE but I'm still interested, because as a teacher I meet people who're not always familiar with bitmap or video editors. And of course I like to offer them cheap possibilities. Most of the time they just bought the 3D app and don't like the idea that they need to buy additional software for editing bitmaps. Might sound strange, people wanting to create 3D visuals and don't know about bitmap editors. But most of them are CAD designers who wish to create good looking presentations. Can you do stuff like adding titles and filters with this video composer you own? I mean filters for color correction and stuff like that. Arjo.

If you can live without the shadows then green screen is a breeze. But I have no idea on AE comping since my comping app is probably not up to pace and remains largely unknown to me. It cost about $US80.00 as opposed to AE at what, around $US1000.00?? The winner has to be frame by frame rotoscoping then!!! Lol.

If so then "Who needs After Effects"? Lol.

Offcourse it was in tutorprojects/material/vsl/alphashadows :) This is what I mean by imposing shadows into live picture or into live film. Sorry guys. This tutorial gives quite good shadow control. Still have to investigate this more though. Hmm.. Now I have get light effects into live video:) Ville On 05/17/2010 10:31 AM, Matthias Kappenberg wrote: It's in the "Material" as Texture Map.....
