Regarding the nat woi comment.

Jeez, I thought I was the forum moron around here... but it appears I have been dethroned.

Ken,
Your enthusiasm as a newbie is refreshing on this forum.
Problems you encounter and bring forward are things many of us encounter.
Keep asking those questions:)
Keep being the guy unafraid to raise his hand in class.
I for one benefit greatly from the solutions brought forward by fellow members.

the beauty of this forum imo - is people from all walks of 3D life getting together and helping each other without the ego.

Most other places I've gone on the net, usually have Pros looking down on noobs. Everyone is equal in iclone in that we focus on our love of art and share it.

Iclone brings the community back to a world where the competition is heavy and ruthless.

So it is encouraged from everyone from the company to user - to keep this spirit of community because the progress we can make together is immense.

I'm convinced that the worlds next steven spielberg is in this forum, but we have to create a sacred ground for him/ them to come out.

Dear Mr/Ms future Super Director - your pro audio guy has been here clearing the way for you! :cool:

"To define Tao is to defile it" - Lao Tzu

Gee, you make me want to be younger again. Too late for that.
Anyway, After several attempts to get this straightened out at Magix, I finally decided to take it off my computer and then re install it again. I am doing that now.
I bought it over the weekend and things may have been messed up because of the licensing and authentication issues.
I also began with the trial edition which treats the codecs differently.
I am hoping a clean install will solve the problem. If not, I guess I won't be using the Mpeg4 files there.
I have Magix Movie Edit Pro 2015 Plus. It should have everything I need and be able to authenticate it for me.
We shall see. If I finally find the solution, I will let you know so anyone else having that problem will be able to fix it.
One of the reasons I wanted the software is that they allow you to make Tutorials (If I ever get that good.)
Ken:)

Hope you get it sorted out Ken! Can't wait to see what you come up with!:P

That fixed it. Apparently you cannot activate the codecs if you have the trial version downloaded.
It did manage to activate the program with the trial but when you try to do anything with the Mpeg4 files it will always direct you to the online activation and then give you an error.
After I took everything off the computer and then reloaded and installed the program they tell you when you purchase it, everything will work fine.
Hope this helps anyone in the future having this problem.
Ken:)

Can anyone who uses Magix tell me if I really need all of those additional things they have me downloading? It looks like it is going to take a few days non stop to get them all loaded.
Ken:)

Apart from Video & Audio CODECS supplied & Installed by Windows OS, all others Installed by NLE Programs, are paid for by NLE Program Developers to the CODECS relevant Developers, on  a single usage basis. Hence the Activation Keys.

That is - They only pay for the CODECS used.

Get it? Got it? Good ;)

I was referring to the 5800GB of templates and Title things along with fades and things like that which are in the Additional things in the Help menu.
I finally have the Codecs so I am okay there now.
Thanks
Ken:)
I am heading up tp put my boy to sleep soon so I will be on my Kindle later.

It's not 5800 GB but "just" MB :) = 5,8 GB.

Most of it is probably irrelevant for you (if you use the program only to iClone bible stories and publish them on the net)

Eg "Menu templates" are for making menus for DVDs. "Movie templates" are mostly just some smart things for home videos. "Slideshow maker" is for making slide shows from fotos...

I suggest you download "Fade effects" and "Title effects" - and if you want an easy way to get simple background music, then "Soundtrack Maker styles" also.

"Design elements" are mostly just for fun, but there a couple useful things included. "NewBlue Titler" can make special titles, but is a bit difficult to use, i think.

Agreed.  I don't know Magix, but you probably don't need a lot of fancy add-ons.

99% of transitions are cut/fade/dissovle.

Very rarely you might use a wipe/push (slide to the side, or top-to-bottom).

Video editor programs love to advertise their 850 stunning transition effects.  :w00t:  For home movies of your vacation it can be fun to use stars, hearts, fireworks, and stuff like that.  But for any "move" it's just going to be cuts and maybe fades/dissolves.

For titles, a simple "scroll up" will be about as fancy as you need to get, and you can even do fine without that.

I'm looking forward to your next "Ruth" work-in-progress update.
