Exchange with other postproduction programs

Support for video and audio plug-ins

Expand MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5's extensive effects palette even more with numerous video effects plug-ins. MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 supports the plug-in format of the freeware video editing software VirtualDub, as well as the "VitaScene" and "Adorage" by proDAD. A selection of tested VirtualDub plug-ins may be downloaded as an installer-package directly from MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5. With DirectX plug-ins, audio effects of other manufacturers may also be embedded. The included VST-DX adapter light" makes it possible to embed  VST plug-ins as well as DirectX plug-ins.

Flexible user interface

MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 offers a flexible user interface which allows windows to be adjusted for any working situation. Both preview monitors can be enlarged to fullscreen and moved around, e.g. to use multiple monitors more effectively. Even the project folder, the time axis, and the Media Pool can be scaled and moved as separate windows.

Customizable basic settings

Users who have switched from MAGIX Movie Edit Pro can select whether they would like to work with the familiar workflow or with the new Video Pro X concept, including source and program monitors, the project folder, and many additional new functions

Custom keyboard shortcuts

Specify the keyboard shortcuts for all of MAGIX Video Pro X's menu functions however you like.

This allows you to adapt existing shortcuts to your requirements or to add new ones. This feature is especially useful for users who have switched from a video editing program from another publisher.

Improved! Multi-processor support

MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 uses the advantages of the most modern processor architectures to shorten the rendering times of complex projects on multi-processor and multi-core systems. MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 uniformly scales HDV material on up to eight CPU cores to produce results faster than ever before.
GPU hardware acceleration

The optimized real-time architecture uses not only the resources from the high-performance processor, but also those of your graphics card to decode HDV video, calculate transitions and effects, and to mix video tracks, overlays, and titles as effectively as possible.

Image stabilization

Built-in image stabilization balances undesired picture movements. The motion stabilizer equalizes inadvertent movements in the image by moving the image in the opposite direction in accordance with the wrong movements.

This produces unusable edges in the footage that are cut off automatically, and black strips replace the edge of the shifted picture, which are then removed using a zoom shot. The result: A clearly more stable, almost imperceptibly larger picture.

3D title effects

MultiCam editing

Synchronize up to four camera recordings of events like weddings, concerts, or theatrical performances, and change the perspective in real time with a mouse click.
Absolutely unique on the market: save precious time wasted on painstakingly synchronizing video recordings using visual and sound events by hand. Video objects can be synchronized using their sound tracks. For this, their soundtracks are compared for similarities.

Time Stretching

Change the length of your video and audio objects simply by stretching and dragging with the mouse. Audio objects maintain their original pitch.

NEW! Controls for audio effects in the effects area

The redesigned and reorganized audio effects palette make it possible to set keyframe animated audio effects even more conveniently.

Precise keyframe functions with Bézier curves

The keyframe editor enables extensive control over video effects in two steps: Quickly access object-based effects settings in the Media Pool and precisely edit Bézier curve control on the timeline directly as required.

3-way color correction

Use color wheels with shadows, median values, light, and professional exposure control according to the lift, gamma, and gain principles. Smooth out color errors, produce a "special look", or highlight naturally present colors.

NEW! Secondary color correction

Edit shadows, mids, and brights separately for the foreground, background, and in an extra master layer. The foreground layer features an easy to use eyedropper tool. Change, highlight, or understate individual colors - the blue of the sky, the green of a field, or the red of a dress. This also helps you apply the "Leave color" effect: e.g. red remains and all other colored objects in the image are displayed in black and white.

Broadcast-quality audio editing

MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 supports audio formats, which correspond to the High Definition  standard from Intel. This means that stereo signals at a sampling rate of 192kHz with 32-bit and 8-channel signals at a sampling rate of 96kHz  with 32-bit may be used.
Professional broadcast-quality effects like DeClipping, DeNoiser, DeHisser, equalizer, compressor, stereo effects, echo, reverb, pitchshift, and more help you get the best out of your sound.

Real-time audio mixer

MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5  includes a real-time mixer with a master effects section. Besides the effects in the audio object (reverb/echo, timestretch/resample, Surround, etc.), a separate effects rack with equalizer, reverb/echo, compressor as well as plug-ins can be used in every mixer track.

Dolby®Digital 5.1 Surround sound

Use Dolby® Digital 5.1 Creator to create real Surround sound with channel control and mix it live with the audio mixer.

Master audio level display

The master audio level display, which is integrated directly into the timeline, indicates the total volume at a glance to avoid clipping or and distorted sections in your work.

Sample-exact audio editing

The 1/25 secod raster in video editing programs is often to rough for audio editing. MAGIX Video Pro X  features sample-exact audio object editing (e.g. 1/48,000 s) for precise cuts, transitions, and video image synchronization.

Synchronization with external devices

MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 offers synchronization with external audio devices via MIDI Machine Control (MMC).
Receive MMC commands (slave): MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 follows jog shuttle operations, fast forward and rewind commands of external devices. MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 additionally receives the current playback position of the device and shows up as an additional blue cursor in the timeline.
Send MMC commands (Master): MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 operates as Master. The external device follows the time position every time the playback cursor moves to a certain position within the arrangement.

NEW! Burn AVCHD videos onto DVDs

Before, in order to be able to watch edited AVCHD videos on TV, these had to be burned to Blu-ray Discs™. AVCHD videos easily with any conventional DVD player onto thrifty blank DVDs – without a costly Blu-ray burner.
DVD authoring with up to 8 audio tracks
You can set your DVDs up with up to eight audio tracks. This is especially useful for creating multilingual DVDs or DVDs with different sound formats (5.1 Surround, stereo).
Create DVDs using numerous attractive templates that you can manually customize however you want. Menus that you customize can be saved for later, too. Extended MPEG-2 settings provide full control over the image quality.

Export to Blu-ray Discs™

With MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5, creating movies on Blu-ray Disc™ is just as simple as with DVDs. Get the full HD quality throughout the editing process and burn your project to Blu-ray DiscsTM with animated menus and 6-channel PCM Surround Sound with the same range of functions you know from DVD creation (BDMV).
