I have a few questions i just downloaded the demo version
1) how do i set it up to auto detect chapters in corel video studio x5
2) i am trying to burn dvd from a sony ccd - trv43 camcorder what are the best setting to use to burn the dvd .
I don't even know if this is possible, but I'd like to create an action, script, etc. to detect and stroke a series of lines.
I'm a fingerprint examiner who traces fingerprints in photoshop and some action to make it easier would greatly increase my productivity.
I'm new to Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6 and to graphics in general.
In layman's terms I would like to know how this programme can auto detect a foreground image (any non-square/non-rectangular image), select it and then delete everything else around it.
Whatever is deleted around it needs to be transparent, not white, so that I can copy and paste the sole foreground image into Powerpoint so that the image doesn't end up with a square white background around it (especially when my Powerpoint template has a non white background).
I'm not working with finnicky images or detailed photos. They're mostly two colour stock images like black silhouettes of people against white backgrounds, so I thought that kind of image would be relatively easy to 'smart select' and separate from the contrasting background colour.
Can this Xara programme do this for me? If not, is there any other basic and cost effective programmes that can do this for me? It's literally the only editing function I need in a graphics programme.
It seems I can't do this simple thing. Using Pro X2 I rendered together 4 mini videos on different subjects. Total time 40 minutes. I hit Share>Create Disc> DVD>Add Chapter (I added 4 chapters)>OK>Selected one of Thumb Nail Menus templates>Preview... and the menus shows only one chapter thumbnail, saying 1/1. I've done it over and over again and can not get my 4 chapters to show on menus template.

For the first time since, I've burned a multi-chapter DVD and when I play it there is no audio on Chapters 2-4 but it sounds fine on the menu music and the first chapter. Each chapter is an AVI and plays fine in VS and then in the menu preview.
I've reinstalled the software a couple of times and tried a different DVD+R but still no audio on half of the disc.
Any way to add more Chapter pointers on the actual DVD menu itself. It seems like the provided DVD menu templates, and I've installed the extras in VSP X4, only have 4~5 chapter pointers per DVD menu page. There's plenty of screen space to add more chapter pointers but how to do it. I tried clicking on one and doing a copy, but can't seem to go any further than that. I must be missing something somewhere. I want to have 6~12 links to chapters on each DVD menu page. I don't need a preview image for each chapter pointer, just a simple text pointer is fine.
Is there a way to do add more to the DVD menus?
I am operating Videostudio ProX5 and this is my first attempt. I have transferred my film, edited, added music, added chapters with the little green marker, but when I create disc and try to use the chapter menus it finds them but will not create chapters.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems on two different PC's with creating a Share/Create Disk/ DVD project in Video Studio 11+. On one PC after I create the DVD project (three separate videos each with its own menu, etc) and save it, when I return later to actually burn the DVD the chapter names are gone. The rest of the information seems to still be there.
To try to get around the above problem I moved the videos, music, etc to my laptop (also Video Studio 11+) and there when I add the three videos to the Share/Create Disk/ DVD project and then click on Add/Edit Chapters, the video does not open up to allow me to move the jog bar and add chapters. If I click on the auto add option Visual Studio crashes.
PS...I have the same experience on the laptop with Video Studio 12...
I finally have my project done. I click Share, then try to change the bitrate lower it says I am 2.5gigs over. When I change it nothing happens on the left side, it still stays the same. Also it does not import my chapters that I have set in the editing mode?
I have saved it to a video file, in case it may be easier to do it that way? I have a difficult time finding it in the their programs library. X12 use to automatically import your chapters from the editing mode when they were set.
Either I am confused (which can be easy) or it is more difficult to figure things out in X3.
I have a single project in X5 with which I want to have several chapters on a DVD menu. The trick is that I want to have all of the chapters on the first DVD menu that comes up, not on a sub-menu to the main menu. The only way I have been able to accomplish this is to break the project into separate projects per chapter, then load each individual project into the Create Disc sofware through the Add Media option. This is a big hassle and something I do not want to do very often. Is there an easier way to accomplish what I am wanting or am I out of luck with this software?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe last version of VS I've used was V10. Just installed X5. I'm making a disk that has 2 videos in it. I want 2 menu options, one for each video file. The way I used to do it was to create 2 projects. In each project I'd edit the video as I need. I'd then create a 3rd project and add both projects with the edited videos in them.
Is this still the way to create a disk with multiple videos in it or is there a better way? If I do it this way will I get any audio sync problems? Had that with older versions.
Also, can I edit 2 videos in the same project without having them both in the same timeline?
been using Videostudiopro X5 for few years typically just for weddings and I do not use chapters. I need to edit and produce a dance recital this week and wondering if this is possible:
Producing 2 hours to a DL disc and will have 34 total dances. I will set a chapter marker for each dance. When it comes time for the menu, can I have 17 chapters on 2 pages for total of 34? I would like to have one menu page with 2 submenu pages, 1 submenu page for Act 1, 1-17 with song name and another for Act 2, 18-34 with song name.
I can do this with Sony Vegas, but prefer editing with VSPro.....
I have created a presentation made of up an audio track adn lots of images, some video, text etc. I thought I put chapeters in and named them by inserting the green triangles in the timeline.
When I rendered to a DVD none of the chapters show up. How to get the Chapters to show up in DVD (or other vieo format)?
I upgraded from the old Video Studio 10 Plus to the Corel Pro 3X. I am now in the process of downloading all the Get More updates. While I am doing this, here is my Menu/Chapter problem.
1. I created the first video (part 1). I somehow have a main menu, and the the second menu has my chapters to select. Yay! I saved the menu to My Favorites. The DVD works great, a person can select a chapter to play,etc.
2. Now I am trying to create the second video (part 2). Somehow in My Favorites I have two menu templates from the first DVD I created. I have tried selecting each one and am trying to create a main menu, and then the second menu with 4 chapters. But each time I end up with 4 chapter menus, but I want the second menu to have the 4 chapters on it that you select a chapter thumbnail that your want to view.
I hate to start from scratch because I like the fonts, etc. from the first DVD, which is part 1.
I recently created a dvd which includes 'chapters'. I 'create Video' (DVD) file then 'create disk' to DVD folders on hard disk and then use Ashampoo to burn to DVD.
My 'Create Disk' has two menus, the top menu for the 'only' Video file and then the next menu which includes 2 chapters. When I do a 'Preview' BOTH menus appear (I click on the small window of the top which shows 30 seconds of the video file and then the second menu appears with my 2 'chapters which also have small windows displaying 30 seconds of the relevant part of the video file).
ALSO in the 'currently displayed menu I have 3 menus in the drop down - 'Main Menu', '2012 trip', and Main Menu: Note Menu (where this came from). So it all looks good as I expect. HOWEVER the resulting DVD NEVER displayed the second menu.
I'm at the stage in Trevor's guide entitled 'My guide from Mpeg Capture to Burn'
Burn a DVD
stage 11/ add menus and chapters as required.
I have navigated to the exact points and done add chapter for each point, but the Thumbnails are not the best possible for the indicating the section's contents.
Post says double click on the thumbnail. I do that, navigate in the preview window to a more representative scene. Then it appears all I can do is 'add chapter', then it appears on the timeline as an extra chapter. My question is has it really increased the chapters, or is it just that UVS only has this way to show the new Thumbnail ?
I usually create several smaller .vsp projects for managing purposes and in each project I create several chapter points by inserting the green arrow icon as described on page 96 of the user guide. I then combine a couple .vsp projects in order to fill a dvd by the following sequence:
1/ start with a new blank project
2/ click on 3 share tab up top
3/ click on create disc / dvd
4/ add 2 vsp projects or more
5/ Click add/edit chapters to confirm proper chapters points have carried through from previous vsp projects
It is at this point where I notice all chapter points have been deleted from the individual vsp projects which is very frustrating.
I have also updated with SP1 & 2, and I have checked to see that the software is up to date via the Corel Guide message center and it says that it is.
I have also noticed that if i create a DVD of one project, the chapter points stay intact, however the name of the selected clip changes to untitled.
I have setup and renamed the chapters in the timeline using the Chapter Point Manager. I enter the Share section to author the DVD. Create Menu is check marked. I enter the Add/Edit Chapter to Automaticall add chapter info. I click OK and click next to choose a menu template and discover my renamed chapter info is gone and set to the default Chapter 1, chapter 2.........
I go back to the project to check on the chapters points I renamed and discover all the renamed chapters are gone. Is this a bug?

I used VideoStudio Pro X3 to create a project and I created 30 chapters, but when I create the output video file (Blu-Ray NTSC H.264 1920x1080), the chapter information is not retained, so all I have is one big video file and don't have the ability to skip to other chapters.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create a DVD with 3 or 4 simple links to chapters and extras that can be accessed with a remote from the DVD menu. I am sure it must be possible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can add chapters to my video and then rename them to my liking. When I go to share and then automatic chapters, all of my names disappear and get renamed to the time marker. Is there anything I can do about this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use VS Pro X4 sporadically, but I seem to recall that when previewing my work before burning a DVD, I was able to see my chapter's/menu's that I created - in the Adding/Editing Chapter option. I would then click on their remote control and select/test out my "links" before burning a disc. I must be doing something wrong because when I choose Preview, my main screen custom menu doesn't appear.
If I play around a bit, I can select "Top Menu" on the remote and click a number - which brings me to the chapter (but again, I can see my main menu/chapter screen - the screen that would appear when someone loads my DVD to play it).
Seems like the greatest number of text chapters one can have on a DVD menu screen is 8. On the other hand, there is one thumbnail template that permits 9 (although the layout option under customize still only permits no more than 8 in one screen).
Are these real limits? I would have liked to have had 9 text chapter links on one screen but can't see anyway to get it. All in all I'd like to have an option where one builds a menu from scratch (background, buttons, etc), with a drop down list of chapter points so one can link them with text or thumbnails (a la Pinnacle).
If I put a Video on a DVD, with the menus in VS11, I can name it, then I see the chapters. I can put two Videos on, with chapters. What I want to do is, put two videos, with separate Names, with their own chapters.
Can't explain very good, so I'll give an example; I have a documentary that aired in 2 parts. I want to put both of them on a DVD. I would like the menu to have the title of the documentary, with both videos as a choice.
DOCUMENTARY NAME
1. Name of part one - with it's own chapter points
2. Name of part two - with it's own chapter points
This way I can put the disc in, go right to part two without having to go through each chapter until I get to the second video.
I am making a slide show with Video Studio and would like to create a menu on the dvd with 4 chapters for the main slide show and one special feature type slide show that would be part of the same project that can be selected to play seperate from the main slide, but on the same menu. Is this at all possible to do.

VideoStudio shows EZCAP in it's video capture list and do capture video via EZCAP.
But in stop motion, VideoStudio dont list EZCAP... so no stop motion. What a disappointment...
Do you think that if VS can capture video from EZCAP, there is a way it can also detect it for stop motion?

Just upgraded from X4 to X5, and it seems something is wrong. When I click the Auto Music icon, all options are greyed out.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWorking on the trial x5 and have a random problem. Imported videos, 1280x720, randomly display a stutter in the audio track when playing in project mode. Play fine in clip mode. Play fine before import. Video plays fine. Also weirdly, if I stop and restart the video at the point of stutter, the stutter goes away. By random, I mean 4 out of 5 videos imported in the same format work fine and the place the stutter start seems random between clips that display the problem.
I am using the default settings of the download trial, though I have messed with the proxy, edit format, and other settings to no avail. I have installed the recent service pack.

Vidoes are captured with an android phone and properties are H,264, 24 bit, 1280 x720, MPG4, Interestingly the frame rate seems to vary between 19 and 26 fps., Audio is 44100Hz 16 bit stereo 96Kbps bitrate.
I've use x2 on a multimedia tower no problem but I've gone mobile. This problem makes the software almost unusable for me. Three or four out of five imports with same parameters (except the variable frame rate) work fine.
I just finished a project in Vx5 pro but was unable to save it. When I tried to save it I got a message "could not save data" and the program shut down. Usually after a computer crash etc when I open Video studio again I get a message "would I like to reload the previous project", however on this occasion it didn't give me that option.
I have it set to do auto backups every 5 minutes but can't find where they are stored. I can rebuild the project but would save heaps of time if I could find the backups.
