Answer:
Start MAGIX MX and place a video in the timeline and select it. Then open the Plug-ins-manager in the Effects (1) / Additional effects (2) register.
The Plug-ins manager starts, in the Available plug-ins (3) area on the left you will find proDAD (4), double-click to see all the proDAD Effect-Plugins available, e.g. Mercalli 2.0, Vitascene and Adorage.
Now select proDAD Vitascene (5) by clicking. Then click the Insert plug-in option (6) to start Vitascene. Now select an effect and apply it via F12. In thePlug-ins for the current object area (7) you will see proDAD Vitascene (8). Click OK to apply the effects. The effects will be shown in the preview.
Now you can use Vitascene, Adorage or Mercalli repeatedly without changing any previously set effect. Please be mindful of the order of the effects in the Plug-ins for the current object area, because some effect(s) might be covered as a consequence of multiple use and accumulation) of effects. You can modify the order via Drag & Drop.
If you want to delete an effect in the Plug-ins manager, select it in the Plug-ins for the current object area and click the option Delete plug-ins to clear the effect or the plugin in the list.

Answer:
Effect templates from Vitascene can be used directly in Vegas Pro/Movie Studio.
In case that you use keyframes, make sure that you set start and end keyframes in the Sony-Videoevent-FX dialog. Otherwise the Vitascene-Effect (with keyframes) will not be applied in Vegas Pro/Movie Studio.
Adorage effects can only be applied if you set start and end keyframes in the Sony-Videoevent-FX dialog.
To animate video filters in Vegas Pro and Movie Studio it is essential to set keyframes to mark the starting point and the ending point of the animation.
First start Vegas Pro or Movie Studio and place a Video (1) into the Timeline. Then go to Video-FX (2) register to apply (e.g.) Vitascene (3) to your video as a video effect. The Videoevent-FX (4) dialogopens. Click Animation (5).
A Timeline (6) opens in the Videoevent-FX dialog. A starting point Keyframe (7) is being set automatically. Now move the Position slide button (8) to the end of the Timeline and click the option + (9). A Keyframe (10) marking the ending point will be set.
Now click Edit Vitascene in the Videoevent-FX dialog. Vitascene starts. You can select an effect (11) from the effect list and you can modify various effect settings in the course of the video by setting Keyframes (12).
Apply the effect by clicking F12 and then return to Vegas Pro or Movie Studio.
There are no more Keyframes necessary in Vegas or in Movie Studio, you carry out all the necessary steps in Vitascene.
Note:
The same procedure is necessary for proDAD Adorage Effects. Make use of Sony Vegas 10 Pro and Movie Studio 10/11.

Answer:
proDAD Adorage is supported in Avid Studio 2011
Note:
For using earlier Adorage Volumes in Avid Studio you either need the Adorage Updater from the proDAD online shop or you can buy Adorage Volume 11 or 12 directly in the Avid online shop.
In either case, the plugin for Adorage 12 will be integrated (as transition and as effect) in Avid Studio, which will also allow the application of earlier versions.
Those customers who have bought Adorage Volume 1-12 from proDAD, need the Adorage Updater in order to use Adorage as transition an as effect in Avid Studio.You will find the corresponding link in the Login area.
Online registration of your proDAD product is required for getting the update in the Login area. This update is essential for the use of all the installed Adorage Volumes in the new Avid Studio version

Answer:
At the moment, you are provided with basic information on the technology by proDAD Vitascene. One aspect that is particularly important for correct use is compliance with the requirements in terms of your PC.
What is a GPU (graphics processing unit)?
Modern graphics cards have an extremely high level of computing power, which is vastly superior to that of the CPUs used in PCs. With Vitascene this power is used to create effects! Digital processing is carried out by the graphics card, speeding up the whole procedure enormously.Brand new technology – 50 times faster than it used to be – with an accelerated GPU!
The advantages of GPU processing:
- up to 50 times faster than using a CPU
- perfect quality using 16 bit and 32 bit IEEE
- more precise processing for improved quality and sharper details
Is your computer suitable for GPU processing?
Click here to check your PC: GPU-Test
1. Carry out the test to find out wether your computer is suitable for GPU processing. If the result is positive, the following dialog will open.
Your graphics card allows real time depiction of the Vitascene effects without any limitation.
2. If there are limitations in terms of suitability of your computer for GPU processing you will see the following dialog:
3. There is also the posibilitythat your graphics card does not dispose of the GPU-related requirements for using Vitascene. In this case, the installation of Vitascene 2.0 will not be completed.
Possible limitations on the processing power of your craphics card:
- An out of date graphics hardware driver
- An out of date version of DirectX
-
The Video editing software also requires VMem of your
graphics card (in case your are using Vitascene as a
plugin)
- Differences between the use of SD material and HD material. HD requires more processing power.
System requirements:
- Pixel Shader 3.0
- VMem 512MB min, better VMem 1GB
- Operating system min. WinXP, better Windows 7

Answer:
After having installed the Mercalli 2.0 Plugin for Mac (for example Final Cut Pro), activate Mercalli 2.0 as a Plugin by using the UnlockMercalli program which you find in Programs/proDAD/Mercalli 2.0. As soon as the program starts, you enter the serial number and click Unlock. At this stage, Mercalli 2.0 should be correctly installed as a Plugin on your Mac.
If you still see 2 diagonal lines (X) in the preview, the installation didn’t work out. In this case, please contact our support via customerservice@prodad.com. You will soon receive a solution to the problem via email.

Answer:
The reason is that the preset T-Online DNS Server can’t resolve the Download link, which is why the Download page isn’t found.
After replacing the server with the Google-DNS server the Download will work out well.
