Video Mode
Compatibility Mode (Video for Windows)
This mode works on all systems. Activate this mode if there are problems with
playback.
Hardware Acceleration (Direct 3D)
This mode offers extreme increase in speed by calculating mixing, effects, and various
transitions the the graphics card directly. Depending on the graphics card,
performance can increase by 300%. The graphics card will not be used during export.
Note!
To use this mode the graphics card must possess at least 128 MB memory.
You will need to install Direct 3D 9, or higher, and the graphics card driver must
support "High Level Pixel Shader Language 2.0". MAGIX Fastcut checks the
corresponding properties when this mode is selected and switches it off if
necessary.
Alternative Mode 1 (Mixer Overlay)
This mode performs hardware-based deinterlacing for output onto a PC screen or a
projector, whereby the playback quality is significantly better than with interlaced
analog video recordings.
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.
This mode is only superior to "Overlay Mixer" mode with a limited number of
graphics card models.
Fade in/out time for background:
You can set the length of the fade in/out time for
the background audio. The values are given in milliseconds (ms).
Reactivate hint dialogs
Once installed, MAGIX Fastcut displays a number of safety queries and instructions
at various points in the program. These may be switched off by clicking the small box
at the bottom that says "Don't show this message again". To display these warning
messages again, select the "
Reactivate hint dialogs
