Importing Magix Maps

I have somehow managed to change the file extension on my Travel Maps to now open with Photostory, the actual software and now I cannot play or open/insert map into Photostory. File extension is MXGEO but I am not sure how to change to the correct one. Sorry, I hope this makes sense to someone. Currently Have latest version of Photostory Deluxe. Thanks. Jan

I can see that Movies and Tv has opened my files in past but this choice does not seem to be available to me now even though I can see it is installed on my computer.

Hi Jan,

MXGEO is the file extension for a Travel Maps project. You cannot use this in PhotoStory. In Travel Maps, you have to complete the process under the Finish tab, Start video export with Edit in PhotoStory checked. Once the video has been created, you can exit Travel Maps. It will ask you if you want to save the project. Do this if you think that you will need to come back to edit the same Travel Maps project - this creates the Travel Maps project with the extension MXGEO. After exiting, you will now be back in PhotoStory and the map animation should be on the timeline. Look at the filename; it's a .wmv file, which is a video format.

It seems that you are new to video editing and PhotoStory. I suggest that you do some reading in the manual to understand how it all works.

John, thank you so much. This makes more sense to me and I think I was missing out an important step. Will certainly have a look at the manual. Much appreciated.
