I seem to be having an ongoing problem with Magix Movie Edit Pro 2014 creating a slight static pop between edits, which can only be fixed by fading in each and every edit.
More noticible with headphones, notice the light (like a static pop) sound between transitions and slides
The last update did not fix this issue, and it is so anoying and un-professional or a time sucker otherwise.. Is there anything that can be done about this?
I presume the pops you are referring to are audio only? (Yes, I have viewed the web page you linked.)
The "pops" sound to me to be the result of creating audio waveform "joins" at points other than what are called "zero crossings". So, how did you record the voiceover audio? More detail on this may help to suggest a solution.

Hi,
Emmrecs is right, it is bad form to creat multiple threads for the same question. I too looked at the link and first, your audio mixing and mastering is virtually non existant. Audio levels are all over the map. As for the pops, just use a notch filter, or spectral cleaning to remove them. You could try a graphic or parametric equalizer but they are likely to remove audio frequencies that you want to keep in addition to the ones that you don't want.
The pops sound to me like they are all the same frequency but unless I did a spectral analysis on the audio track, I cannot be certain.
Remember this is a consumer product, and a video editor at that, so advanced audio functions are not something that the average consumer is likely to want or need. Sloppy edits, poor recording techniques, and lack of proper audio mixing and mastering techniques all contribute to bad audio. Proper audio recording techniques will virtually eliminate this type of problem.

Hi
As George and emmrecs have said duplicate posting is bad form therefore I have closed the duplicate post.
The pops that I can hear sound like a classic case of hitting the record button then immediately starting to record the commentary, such that you cannot edit out any of the 'switch' clicks when starting / stopping recording.
As George says the audio is full of issues and the use of different audio voice tonal variation / effects / correction is inconsistent.

Rxcuse me first time poster...I posted twice forgive me, I could not find that the first post was posted, so I could have saved myself from writing that message twice.
This is a plain audio recording voiceover recorded with Camtasia, exported, unmodified as an mp3 and brought into MEP 2014 , hiss reduction, a litlle eq adjustment, unleveled though.
there is also another music track added last.
I have done this dozens of times with 3 previous versions of MEP without this issue, and thought someone here might know before I start experimenting with different types of files from different sourcesand wasting hours.
I would love to get to the bottom of this before before I need to reinstall a previous version to get clean edits.
Hi sales18.
Understood about the double-post and apology accepted (at least by me!).
I didn't think Camtasia was really intended to be used as an audio-only recorder; that may be the problem, perhaps? If you don't have any other (specialist) audio recording software you could find and download the free Audacity and try re-recording your VO. Audacity is a pretty basic program but is more than capable of recording speech without problem. BUT, make sure you save your recording in .wav format, 16 bit and at whatever sample rate you are using in MEP, usually 48kHz. (mp3 can create all sorts of problems, given the different bit-rates, sample rates etc.)
Try importing this new audio file into MEP and see what the result is like; I have to say I would be extremely doubtful that the cause of your audio "pops" is anything to do with MEP itself.
