Magic movie behavior cannot be changed. The Magic style and Theme Designer for the same theme can give you full control on what is displayed and eliminate repeats and duplication of the same photos. Try Magic Style first. It works very well for me.

Thanks. Magic Style worked better, but it only included about 1/2 to 2/3 of the images and cut off videos. Best I can hope for, I guess.

I was hoping that an experienced Magic user would reply to your question. I don’t use it enough. You did not state in your original post which Magic Movie template you were using or that you were using video too. The behavior is different with each template. Some include Theme Designer and allow you to remove the duplication. If you have several hundred photos they may be too hard to remember which has been played already.

Don't have the problem you stated above with Magic Style. Every image I selected get used at least with the Grid template.

It may be better to contact Cyberlink Support and explain what you want to do. An expert there may be able to help tremendously, and it would be great if you post their suggestion here for all to see. This would help other users who may have the same issues.
