But the advantage is: Normally the hard drive is faster than the SD card. This
makes later editing more fluid. Besides that, you get a backup copy of your clips.
My personal tip is:
Use copy mode if, for example, you are going to start a big editing session of an
unrecoverable recording.
For all other projects – where speed matters – I use the direct import mode,
for example if it's only the ski clip of the day.
Should I use templates or manual editing?
MAGIX Fastcut offers the fascinating option to automatically apply professionally
created project templates to your clips. The program makes dozens of perfectly
aligned cuts – you will be surprised how impressive this looks with your own video
material!
If one of the clips doesn´t fit right, you can easily trim it afterwards using the trim
tools below the video monitor.
My tip: Give some of the templates a chance before starting with time-consuming
manual editing! Often you will get near-perfect results using a template and need to
make only a few small manual corrections - and all this can be done in a fraction of
the time of a complete manual edit.
Help! My video doesn´t play smoothly!
No need to panic – sometimes it is possible that the video preview in MAGIX Fastcut
jumps if your PC is overloaded. But this is only the preview! Your final video will be
exported fluidly – you can count on this!
