Yes Eric, John has done an excellent video on integration of the two. Perhaps he'll post a link as I can't find it right now.

Hi,
Here is a link to a recent tutorial that I did on creating masks for MEP/VPX directly from MEP/VPX using Xara:
https://youtu.be/rFnM5YdPEGk
and here is another, more appropriate showing how to open Xara from MEP, create or draw whatever, animated or static, and it comes back onto the timeline. I am in the process of redoing this one properly.

There are instructions in the MEP and VPX manuals to do this. Search for Xara in the help file. Here is an excerpt:
"Create overlay graphic/animation
Create vector graphics or animations in an external editor such as Xara Designer Pro in order to use them as overlay objects in MAGIX Movie Edit Pro. A typical use scenario would be to draw an object in order to darken certain portions of the video, such as a black bar to cover a person's eyes. Overlay objects aren't bound to the source material by grouping. They can me moved and edited as you please."
I am also in the process of doing a tutorial on the various ways that Xara is used with or by MEP and VPX, including Xara 3DMaker. I did a tutorial recently on MEP and VPX with 3D Maker.

How did this Thread got hijacked?
Acorn - installed Xara software: Cloud+/Pro+ and most others back through time (to CC's Artworks). Contact for technical remediation/consultancy for your web designs.
When we provide assistance, your responses are valuable as they benefit the community. TG Nuggets you might like. Report faults: Xara Cloud+/Pro+/Magix Legacy; Xara KB & Chat
I agree, a second thread would be good.
See post 2, mine.
The original topic was a lament of Xara/Magix not taking advantage of marketing opportunities to get new users. See the last paragraph about Xara and Magix failing to market the use of Xara with the movie editors and that they work together. Each product should be marketing the other. onle picked up on this and asked how they worked together, and that is how we got off-topic.
More users = more money and, hopefully, more money for program development.

Sorry. But, I learned that my 2 pieces of software will play together. I am quite ecstatic. I envision some light night highly caffinated experimenting.
As per the original thread; Xara, please don't leave us behind. Please make me feel like that subscription fee I pay is really worth it. And maybe listen to the compalaints here and take note that just because you said everything is alright 6 months ago doesn't mean your customers believe it. If things really are all right then YOU XARA just might be doing a bad job of communicating that message.
thanks!
eric
