feature requires an Internet connection.
The program keyboard shortcuts (view page 314) for commonly used processes and
functions are also very helpful.

Note regarding special program versions: This documentation describes the full
range of features in MAGIX Movie Edit Pro. The range of features may differ in the
program version/edition you have acquired.

Projects, movies and objects

In MAGIX Movie Edit Pro you will be working with "projects", "movies" and "objects".
In order to work quickly and intuitively, it is important to know the differences
between these three hierarchically-ordered terms.

Project A "Project" includes everything that you want to include on a disc.
Normally this means one or more movies and a menu structure for
selecting movies for playback. Projects can be saved as "MVP" files on
your hard drive and can be loaded later to do further editing to the
movies.

Movie A "Movie" can be one single video clip or a combination of clips and
photos. It can also include music, titles, transitions and much more.
Each movie can be exported individually as a video. The "project" can be
considered a type of drawer into which you can put multiple movies that
will be edited together and burned to the same disc.

Objects "Objects" are the individual units of the movie. There are different types
of objects (view page 104): videos, photos, titles, transitions, decorative
elements, audio (sound).

Summary: „Projects“ contain „Movies“ and „Movies“ contain „Objects“.
