Features

EDITING

• Split and trim - With the new "split and trim" tool including dynamic preview, previewing and cutting video footage is easier than ever before. Simply move the tool along the timeline and click to make edits using the real-time preview in the video monitor. For precise, direct trimming of video clips.
• Full track handling - Tracks can now be reordered, deleted and copied – even retroactively. Using the active target track, you can import media such as video or music with absolute precision to the position you want on the timeline. New track and object color schemes provide a clearer overview of items.
• J and L cuts - Audio and video can be independently trimmed using shortcuts. Documentaries and interviews are now easier than ever before to edit thanks to a fluid workflow and overlapping objects.
• Find and close gaps - The new split and trim tool locates all gaps on the timeline – you can then simply close them with a single click. All clips merge correctly without leaving any black frames.
• "Move object content" mouse mode - Video object contents can now be easily selected in a manner which maintains the editing rhythm.
• Multi-track & multi-format timeline - The multi-track & multi-format timeline enables you to import and edit different video formats in SD, HD and UHD resolution without having to convert files into a proprietary intermediate format.
• Three and four-point editing - Precisely inserting video clips into the timeline using the three and four-point editing features is easy. You can define start and end positions by placing in and out points in the video monitor and timeline.
• Time stretching - In MAGIX Video Pro X, you can change the length of your video and audio objects simply by stretching and contracting the object in the timeline. Audio objects maintain their original pitch.
• Beat-based editing - Using the new snap markers, you can now cut music to perfectly fit the scenes in your movie.
• Advanced search for gaps - MAGIX Video Pro X features a special tool that searches for any unwanted black areas between clips. Simply start a search and the program will list all gaps in the arrangement. These can then be individually selected and edited if necessary.
• Nested Sequences - Save time so you can focus on what matters most. With nested sequences, you can add finished sequences to your movie as entire objects. Effects are then applied to the entire object and no longer need to be carried over to each scene in the sequence.
• Multicam editing - Multicam mode allows image control in real time on up to nine tracks, depending on system performance. Clicking on the preview videos let you change perspective live and mark all edits precisely and organically. By analyzing the audio material, multicam recordings can be automatically synchronized and added before editing.

Templates are an efficient way to create great movies in just a short space of time and without too much effort. Complete package for 360° video With its new, fully automatic 360 image stabilization feature, special 360 transitions and integrated stitching, Video Pro X is your all-in-one solution for 360 editing.
