Video output to external device
Activate video playback: With this option, you can display the project window view
on an additionally connected monitor. Without additional hardware, you can play a
preview in any mode in order to see how the final material looks.

You can set the playback mode separately for the project window (including all
preview windows and effects dialogs) and the preview monitors during recording and
in the video recorder.

Video mode:

Hardware acceleration (Direct3D) is the default setting and as a rule should not be
changed, since it delivers the best results. If you notice problems, such as the image
turning black, you can try to see if picking another mode helps. The Compatibility
mode (VideoForWindows) completely turns hardware acceleration off, which should
deliver the best results. However, it is also the slowest mode and can result in choppy
playback. These options are irrelevant for data export or disc burning.

Note: Only change the video mode when there are problems with the presets, e.g.
choppiness or lengthy screen distortion.

• Standard mode (hardware acceleration, Direct 3D): This mode offers an extreme
speed advantage by letting the graphics card directly calculate mixing, many
effects and various transitions. Depending on the graphics card, performance
can increase by 300%. The graphics card is not used during export. If you
activate this mode and have multiple graphics cards installed, you can also
select which graphics card should be used.
• Compatibility mode (Video for Windows): This is the standard mode that
functions on all systems.

Important: To use this mode the graphics card must have at least 128 MB memory
available. You'll need to install Direct 3D 9 or higher. The graphics card driver must
support "High Level Pixel Shader Language 2.0". MAGIX Movie Edit Pro checks the
corresponding properties when this mode is selected, and switches it off if
necessary.

• Alternative mode 2 (Video Mixing Renderer 9): This mode uses the hardware
de-interlacing function of modern graphics cards together with DirectX 9. Make
sure that you are using the most recent version of your graphics card driver,
which must be compatible with DirectX 9 to function properly.
