Transfer and Saving of a group of movies to a PC/Hard Drive/Flash drive?

Hi. I have recently purchased Magix Pro 17 Edit Plus.

I have edited and grouped a bunch of movies and have saved one file to the PC as a MPEG file.

When I go to transfer that file to a flash/hard drive it does not permit me - saying too big inspite of their being plenty of space in the drives.

Also when I use the option of save to device it will only save in the AVI format with its lowest resolution.

Any ideas how I can save, transfer and store the edited project in its max resolution or close to it?

If the flash/hard drive is formatted to FAT32, the file size limit is 4 GB. If so, you have to format them to NTFS. Right-click on it in Explorer and then Format. But, All the content will be erased, so take a backup first !

This should not be the case. In the window and dropdown that opens, if you "select your device" as "user defined > video", it will give you the option of multiple formats / resolutions that once customised through the advanced settings, can be saved as new "devices" (profiles).

Have you updated this old version of MEP with its latest patch via Help > Online update?

Do not use the Device option - use File, Export movie and select your file type and adjust the settings as required.
