Animate objects, effect curves

The "Effects" tab under "Video effects" and "Movement effects" provide you with the
effects which can animated using keyframes.

The following objects can be animated:

• Combined objects
• Video objects
• Image objects (still images)
• Title objects
• Audio objects (in the Media Pool under "Effects" > "Audio effects" > "General")
• MAGIX 3D Maker objects (3D texts)

Note: This function is available only in the Plus/Premium version.

Preparing animations
• First, select the object in the project window to animate. For complex
animations, we recommend placing a marker beforehand for orientation.
• In the Media Pool, open the "Effects" tab and click on the effect you would like to
animate under "Video effects" or "Movement effects".
• If necessary, set up the effect however you would like it for the start of the
animation.
• Using this button, at the bottom of the Media Pool, a timeline may be
shown or hidden. You can see here which animated effects are currently
applied to the selected object. Keyframes may be placed, selected,
moved, and deleted.

There are two stippled lines in the timeline to
help you orientate yourself while you edit
movement. These lines will help you recognize
the start or end of the transition.

Place keyframe

Click the timeline to set the playback marker at the locations where a keyframe
should be added.

Note: You can also use the timeline in the project window for exact positioning.
Using project markers (view page 119) is recommended in this case.

• This button places keyframes for all parameters required in the animation.
