Magix Movie Studio 2024 Suite and Adobe Premiere Elements

johnebaker wrote on 2/27/2024, 4:34 AM

Hi

None, however I would suggest avoiding importing/exporting video between the 2 programs -each re-encode will reduce the quality of the video just like photocopying a copy of a copy etc does.

I would also say that depending on what you want to do in Elements, depending on the version, could possibly be done in Movie Studio.

Hi.

It's certainly a cheaper way to obtain the New Blue effects suite if you don't already have them.

In that case I reinstall Adobe Premiere Elements 4 which I used years ago before switching to Magix.

Hi

Ray - I can see no offering of NB effects on the Adobe Elements web pages can you link to it please.

Re-installing Elements 4, released in 2007, is not going to give you the NewBlue Effects suite.

You will have to purchase, as Ray has hinted at, the latest version of Elements.

Hi John.

Try here. There are a number of surprising effects available and it looks like their version of Find Edges actually works.

@johnebaker @Alfns

On closer inspection the effects now seem to be their own with the Adobe Sensei AI versions. I wish these companies would update their webpages.

Unfortunately I can't manage to adjust the window in Magix 2024 to the display of the monitor, so I continue with Magix 2014.

Hi

. . . . I can't manage to adjust the window in Magix 2024 to the display of the monitor . . . .

Do you mean you have an external monitor plugged into the laptop?

Check the Windows settings, System, Display that the Scale option is set to 100%.

If that is not the issue with adjusting the Window of MMS 2024 to the laptop screen (monitor) can you give more details.

I have an external monitor connected to the laptop but it is the same phenomenon on both monitors. The external monitor displays an enlarged copy of what is displayed on the laptop's monitor.

Hi

What is the resolution/aspect ratio (AR) of the external monitor?

If the AR is not the same as the laptop ie16:9, you will not get the MMS 2024 to fit either monitor, this is due to the option in Windows settings shown below being set to Duplicate these displays.

When plugging in an external monitor with my laptop, Windows is set to Extend the desktop so I can use both the laptop screen and the external monitor moving the preview monitor as shown below - this image is from my PC however my laptop + external monitor is the same layout.

This arrangement is set as a custom layout, so I can switch between single and dual screen working - to set a custom layout arrange the panes as you require then select Window, Windows arrangement, Save give it an appropriate name a function key shortcut will be automatically assigned to the layout which can be used to switch layouts quickly. You can create multiple different layouts and save them.

In my case, the shortcuts are F9 for the default single screen working and F10 for Dual monitor

Resolution. The laptop and the second monitor

Alfns wrote on 2/28/2024, 2:21 PM

Is it possible and feasible to have both Magix 2014 and Magix 2024 installed at the same time and use them alternately?

@Alfns

. . . . Magix 2014 and Magix 2024 installed at the same time . . . .

Yes, I have MEP 2014 installed, for testing, and MMS 2024 for editing.

It should not be necessary to remove MMS 2024 before installing.

I am puzzled by the issue you are having, the external monitor is the same resolution and Aspect Ratio as the laptop screen

Hi John.

Would it make a difference if they had different refresh rates?

@CubeAce

Hi Ray

It should not, when I connect my laptop (144Hz) to a second monitor (100Hz) via HDMI, I have no issues.

I cannot test as the second monitor is not available at the moment.

Now I have reinstalled Magix 2024 and am met with attached opening screens when I start the program. Image 1 shows up first and when I try to adjust I get to Image 2.

Alfns wrote on 2/29/2024, 3:07 AM

Now I have manipulated so that the opening screen of the program looks like this and I will try using the program now.
