Has anyone got any experience in using MAGIX eDITOR 15 Plus. I have a problem in capturing from a DV camcorder. It's a queer happening, I can capture to the hard drive with no problem. But when I try to import the shots as a project on to Magix, only the first scene comes up, and the rest of the shots are just not there. The whole shots have been recorded okay on the hard drive because I can play them back via Windows media player. Funnily enough anything captured by Adobe on the hard drive can be imported by Magix as a project with no problem. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that there are breaks in the timecode when the camera stopped and started when originally shooting the video. I've noticed now that when capturing from the camcorder if I stop the recording at the end of the scene and start it again when the next scene appears then Magix will import all the recorded scenes as they appear on the harddrive. Anyone got any ideas, I've just been told that a friend of mine is having the same problem. What are we doing wrong, or what are we not doing when we should be? Roy
Panic over. I have now solved the problem. Just as well as the company never answered my E-mail. Everything is working now and I must say it's a very good editor. once you can understand how to use it. It's much quicker and it's not so time consuming to do any operation as Adobe Pro2. Once you can understand the advanced applications I would imagine it stands up to any much more very expensive editors. I noticed at once that the preview and actual programme monitors show a stunning image compared with the Adobe programmes.
Interesting comments Roy. I have worked through the various upgrade versions of Magix over several years and have v14 currently on one machine and v12 on the other which I tend to use the most. Have been wondering about moving up to v15 which I notice is now available here in New Zealand.
I would be interested in hearing more comments from anyone who is using v15 and from anyone using the professional version they have out now v1.5 i think that is up to now.

I now find that certain applications on the editor causes the programme to crash. This has happened on three computers. I am also finding that some things I can do easily on Adobe I can't find a way of doing on Magix. Roy
