sneakymcfly,

Your message refers to 'Music Maker'. I've not got this program but my search of the Magix site suggests that only the 'Premium' version supports video. Even then, mp4 may need an additional codec activation as was the case IIRC with some the Magix's video editing programs. If your version can accept any other video format perhaps you can load the clip into windows movie maker and export in a compatible format.

Hope this helps,

Carl
