Size/Position Maximize: changed in MX?

terrypin wrote on 6/18/2012, 2:49 AM

Can others reproduce the following behaviour please, which only arises for me in MEP MX, not MEP 17.

Select an object, say a JPG. Using Movement > Size/Position create a KF at its start with a zoom of say 150. Then move the slider to its end and create another KF by clicking Maximize, which in all previous versions has been equivalent to entering 100 for that specific KF. But in MX that gets applied to all KFs. Removing all animation.

A deliberate change in the meaning of Maximize after all these years, or a bug?

Hello Terry,

Yes, exactly the same happens here. MEP MX set all KF back to 100% with Maximize. But MEP 17 does not. ---- And MEP 16 is different.

Thanks for confirming, Andreas.

And I've also found that the same thing happens with the Centre button.

It definitely seems like a bug to me. If we want to remove all size and positioning KFs, that is what the Reset button does!

Hi Terry

I occassionaly get this in both MEP 17 and MX - it appears to be related to the particular effect you are trying to change with keyframes.

I just repeat the first setting after the second and everything is OK

Hi John,

Never happened for me in MEP17 or earlier. Same with Centre. It's a bug IMO, as neither of those buttons now has any sensible purpose in MX. They effectively do the same as Reset.

Hi Terry

The particular effect in 17 that is regularly did it with me was image rotation.

Reproduced by Magix Support.

This and the audio recorder 'jumping marker' bug slow my workflow down so much that I've reverted to MEP17. Unfortunately that gives me problems when exporting to HD MP4, so I'm hopping between the two versions.
