in this MAGIX music maker tutorial i'm going to show you how to make videos
with music and pictures welcome to simple green tech I'm Zane
and on this channel I do audio tech tips tutorials and reviews to help you
unleash your creativity now one of the least talked about features of MAGIX
Music Maker is its video creating capabilities you can use Magix music
maker free plus or premium to create videos for your music and if you haven't
downloaded the free version of MAGIX Music Maker yet I put a link in the
description below so you can easily head over download it and then we can get
started right now I recommend doing a mix down of your song first instead of
creating the video in your songs actual multitrack production project this way
you only have one audio file to work with but if you do prefer to do it the
other way you can also add it to your songs project too the easiest way to
turn your song into a video would be to grab a picture of something or maybe
create some album art or whatever you want on the image just make sure you own
everything on it and you aren't stealing somebody else's photos ideally you want
this picture to be at least 1920 x 1080 so you can create a nice HD video and
once you have your image selected click and drag it onto an empty track hover
over the edge of the clip so you see the two arrows like this then click and drag
so it's the same length as your song and now all you have to do is go up to file
and for this I'm going to export as avi but there are some other options that
you can use in here for video but I'm going to use a bi and now in the
resolution change that to 1920 x 1080 if you are doing some other resolution
change it to that and you want to make sure that your framerate is at least 30
frames per second your aspect ratio should be 16:9 and over here in media
you want to make sure that says video and audio then you can click on the
folder down here and then you can select a folder that you want to save your
video into you it a name click Save and if you have
start and end markers like these this yellow bar here these are start and end
markers and you only want the section within those you can have this checked
I want my entire project to be exported so I'm going to uncheck that and when
you're ready click ok so that's the easiest way to do it but what if you
want to add some text or maybe even some actual video to it you can do that
within music maker too you can add avi wmv and quick times MOV video files into
music maker at this time there's still no support for mp4 files but right now
let's look at bringing in some text into our video first I'm going to start with
a background image I have that loaded here I'm going to stretch it out so it's
the full length of my song and if you just want to add a quick title you can
right click into an empty track go down to create new object and then go to
create new title object and this is going to bring up the title editor here
and you can type in whatever you want here and you can change the size of the
font and the font itself by clicking here and you would just go through all
of your fonts then select a size and you would choose ok now you may want to make
sure that it's centered so you can click the center button like that now how do
we know what it's going to look like let's click OK here and if you go down
over to the side here you see this little button right there click on that
and now we have our video preview here if yours is smaller and you want to make
it a little bit larger you can right click here and go to video monitor
resolutions and you can change the size of this video monitor here now all of
this black area around here that's not going to be in our actual video so you
want to make sure that all of the words in your title are over top of your image
that's 1920 by 1080 so with our video monitor open let's go back into our
title editor and you can do that by double clicking on your title over here
that brings up the title editor now we can change the alignment if we want you
can move it up and down or like I said change the size and if that's all you
want on the screen you can just click OK and you're done but there are some other
things over here like some presets to make it do some interesting things now
you see this one is too big not all of it will show up in the video so you can
change the size of your font here and that one will do that
up and down you use these sliders over to the side here and then use this
slider here to move it from side to side
and if you want your title to be on the entire video you would just hover over
the edge of the clip stretch it out if you're thinking of doing a lyric
video you can create a new title sequence for every section that has the
lyrics and you would just line them up however you want your lyrics to be lined
up on your timeline and once you're done you would go up to file just like we did
before go to export and click on whatever video type you want then go
through this whole process again click OK and you're done click here for my
