Magix Movie Edit Pro - Basic Editing Part 2 - Cutting and Trimming

browj2 wrote on 4/25/2017, 1:23 PM

This tutorial follows on from Basic Editing Part 1 and covers Cutting or Splitting and Trimming video objects, including trim start, trim end, and what happens depending on the mouse mode selected. I also show how to use the Object trimmer to fine-tune fades and cuts. These are the main editing tools that you will use the most.

Enjoy!

John

Bonjour John,

Bravo pour ce tuto.

Toi qui maîtrises le français ne pourrais-tu pas faire la traduction.

Bien cordialement.

Gilbert.

Bonjour Gilbert,

Merci.

Comme tu sais très bien, faire un tuto prend énormément du temps dans une seule langue; une deuxième encore beaucoup plus. Je n'ai pas tout la terminologie en français (j'utilise le fichier d'aide de 2014 pour m'aider), et de l'apprendre ajouterait beaucoup au travail.

De plus, j'ai une liste des tutos que je veux faire et je n'avance que lentement. Et, je n'avance pas vite sur mes propres vidéos non plus.

Alors, je vais rester avec une seule langue mais je vais penser à peut-être faire une traduction du texte et de le publier dans le futur.

Finalement, je te félicite pour tes excellents tutoriels!

Encore, merci,

John

Merci John pour ta réponse. Je comprends parfaitement, aussi pas de soucis, mais comme tu avais l'air de bien maîtriser le sujet et que ce n'est pas mon cas, c'est la raison pour laquelle je m'étais permis de faire cette demande.

Merci aussi pour ta contribution sur le forum toujours très pertinente.

Bon courage.

Gilbert

Thank you John. The best of any tutorial I've seen since buying the program. I'd guess that not even 15% of the You Tube videos are worthwhile and I concur with your assessment on the information contained in your beginning tutorials. They probably save people about a year of trial and error experimentation. This program is a bear to learn so thanks again for a great contribution to the cause.

John, Thank you for these introductory videos. They will certainly save me lots of time and frustration once I finally get to actually editing some video.

 

In the mean time I am really struggling with how to either record decent quality video, or record elsewhere and import into MEP. I have had no success at either thus far.

Do you know of any tutorials that teach how to record with MEP? I've spent HOURS searching and have yet to find ANYTHING on recording with MEP. I'm hoping you can point me to a good starting place.

 

Thanks,

Bob

So, it appears that I watched this video about a year ago before using MEP hardly at all. Now that I've watched again, after using the program a little while, the techniques you demonstrate make much more sense.

Thanks Again.
