Video Pro X 1.5

MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 is the specialist for DV, HDV, and AVCHD recordings, professional special effects, and detailed audio dubbing. A flexible user interface and highly developed video technology enable an optimized, customized workflow for perfectly designed videos in studio quality image and sound.

Complete support of the new AVCDH substandard for camcorder and digital photo cameras.  AVCHD lite supports video recordings up to 720p and may be imported without difficulty into Video Pro X for further editing. The processed results may be burned onto AVCHD disc or Blu-ray™ and played back on Blu-ray players.

XDCAM file import

MAGIX Video Pro X 1.5 supports importing and editing of professional XDCAM material without the need for additional upgrades.

Import and edit different video formats in SD or HD resolution like DV, HDV, or AVCHD without having to change the project settings or convert the files into a proprietary intermediate format for long periods of time beforehand.

Import AVI file sequences from compositing programs like Jahshaka or After  Effects™ via the integrated alpha channel support. Insert .psd files with multiple layers without converting them directly into your project.

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.

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.

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.

The integrated MAGIX 3D Maker transforms any text and shapes into high-quality 3D graphics and animations. A number of designs and templates in different styles, plus intuitive real-time editing and easy-to-understand tools will quickly help you produce professional results.

For example, create dynamic title animations, spectacular intros & outros, lively decorative elements, and chapter and DVD menu titles.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
