John, do you have any examples that you can show us? I'm quite curious about the animated graphical overlays you mention.

Hi Boy,
Indeed I do:

Thanks, John. Yes, I remember now. You posted one of these before. I use Pinnacle Studio, so I tried the avi with transparency export option at the time but the tweening steps were not exported. I reported the bug but forgot all about it. Anyway, I'm happy to say that it does work now. This gives new creative options for my video editing. So, thanks again!
Added: Nice tutorials, by the way!

Hi Boy,
Pinnacle Studio is a very good program (I also have it), but you can't do the same thing with Xara. Movie Edit Pro/Video Pro X send the selected video clip to Xara animation as background. There is not much out there quite like this, if anything.
For anyone who would like to get Video Pro X12 (top of the Magix line, not Vegas line), it's available in a HumbleBundle for about 30$US. The current version is 13, but due to many still unresolved bugs, one is better off with 12. There is also some other stuff to round out the offer.

All of the above, and...
The option to reopen documents currently open when you close the app - even unsaved ones
Right click copy. I know some people find this annoying, but I find it so quick and efficient and really miss this feature in other graphics apps
Right click option to make a bitmap copy. Again I find this very useful for quick experiments, and for example applying photo filter presets (which sadly only work on bitmap objects) but…
Live Fx. The feature is superb particularly when you use filters that allow you to re-edit and change the resolution (dpi). Also the ability to apply multiple Fx to the same graphic which can (wait for it...) be vector or bitmap (brilliant!)
The extrude tool and... and...

The trace tool
do I detect a lack of seriousness here Mr B
assuming it is the bitmap tracer you refer to then actually, for a small handfull of very specific tasks, the xara bitmap tracer is my favorite of the lot
like vectorising charcoal bitmap brushwork which results in a clean and scalable line without losing it's core texture

Nothing lasts forever...
