Magix video pro X wont let me select multiple objects and resize them together

VPX 12 does here. Select the objects and resize/position as required.

Could you describe exactly how you're attempting this?

My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.

Im highlighting all the objects I want to resize and then selecting the option to do this in the effects tab, I then resize but when I've done this only the first object has actually resized, thank you

@warren-Loomes

That is the technique I'm using. After I highlight the objects, I click on Effects>Size/Position and I drag the crop box on the monitor to resize it and position it somewhere. That resize and reposition is applied to all of the selected objects.

Are all your objects staying selected ie yellow?

As soon as I adjust anything in Size/Position, "X-pos Y-pos Width Height" pops up on the top of every yellow object.

What exact version of VPX are you using (Help>About).

A screenshot of your VPX screen, with your object layout, would help.

VPX 12

@warren-Loomes @AAProds Yeah I'm getting that in VPX14, when i select some/all, change size with SPR only the first changes, @warren-Loomes right click on the one you've changed, Copy video effects, then - right click Paste video effects.

@warren-Loomes

Which version of VPX are you using?

As per what @Former user mentioned, the shortcuts are:

- to copy the effect

Shift+- to paste the effect (without the +)

VPX with the new SPR does not apply the effect to multiple objects, as @Former user indicated. However, you can use the above commands to paste to multiple objects in one shot. So, - on the object with the effect, select the other objects, Shift+- and the effect will be applied to all selected objects.

Thanks for the video thats a great work around, thank you very much @Former user

I am evaluating the trial version of VPX15, and had the same problem: select multiple objects, the first object turns orange, the rest yellow, then resize, but instead of all of them resizing, only the one in orange resizes.
The work around described in previous comments works, but WHY is a second step necessary? WHY didn't the engineers program it to change ALL selected objects at once, like it worked in Magix Movie Edit Pro? The workaround should not be necessary. Since I add effects to multiple objects quite frequently, this may be a deal breaker for me to buy the full version.
