I need to make a few videos and then use those to make another and then use that to make yet another.
Is there a best (or better) format (avi, wmv, mpeg, flv, etc) for doing this to have the least loss due to the reuse or is there some trick to avoid loss (other than mastering everything in one project from the originals)?
I want to re-edit -remove some parts, adding a title- a fullhd VSX3 rendered file which looks and plays perfect. I never have problems with VSX2/3 even when re-editing. This time, it first takes seconds before it opens in the preview window when I click the library tumbnail. It freezes (with created or without smart proxi) for several seconds when I try to cut, or whatever on the timeline.
It only gets somewhat better when de-selecting "audio while scrubbing", but remains still much more "freezy" than all my other (rendered) files. It's a ~2.5 Gb AVCHD file rendered at 18Mb/s VBR in VS. The only thing what is different is that it contains (pre-converted to AVXHD) SD parts from a JVC camcorder (.mod), but it all plays back flawlesly in several HW and SW players.
My problem is that I made a new folder that I call "photo manipulation" and moved my "save" folder into it with the new droplet I created. So the action can not any longer save in its original path and my photos get stuck, not even manipulated in photoshop! All I wanted was to add the new folder in the "save" path between two forward slashes. The answer apparently is to double click on the action's relevant portion and enter the new value.
As indicated in this segment "Overwrite a single command" as copied and pasted below. "In the Actions panel, double-click the command. Enter the new values, and click OK." This does not work for me - when I double click on an action command I get a pop up from "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended" with the yellow exclamation mark and [The command "SAVE" is not currently available] Continue Stop and there is nothing more happening whatsoever.
As said b4 I would have been faster to re record
Well I had to re-record it from tape. I was wondering because I have never done such a long one, what may be the best settings as far as bitrates trying not to loose any more quality than necessary.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have bought a new HD Camcorder. I understand that I need Blu-ray disk in order to burn my movie to HD format.
I am using the VS Pro x3 program. Before the burning process, in the "Create Video File" step, I have (among the others) the Blu-ray template, the AVCHD template and the HDV template. Which one of them I have to choice?
In the DMF 7se the output format of Blu-ray disk is BD.
My main camera saves AVHCD files at 29.975 fps, secondary camera saves mov files at 25 fps, and third camera saves mpeg-4 at 30 fps.
I often wonder if I should just convert all the source clips from all three to one single format for editing, as perhaps it would be easier to ensure the audio and video stays in sync, and it just seems the right way to work.
What would the optimum format be for me if I started doing this? HDV? Actually I want two answers - best compressed format, and best uncompressed format.
I've been creating video files in Pro X5 to upload to Vimeo. They are fine but I wondered if I could create a better quality format to watch on my laptop e.g. in terms of Kbps etc. The files are:
MPEG-4 Files
24 bits, 1280 x 720, 25 fps
Frame-based
H.264 Main Profile Video: 5000 Kbps
44100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
MPEG AAC Audio: 128 Kbps
They are created from source files which are:
PAL (25 fps)
Microsoft AVI files
24 bits, 720 x 576, 16:9, 25 fps
Lower Field First
Matrox DV/DVCAM -- type 2
PCM, 48.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo
What would be the best format quality for a laptop? I tried 20,000 Kbps and 256 Kbps sound for the heck of it but the laptop struggles to play them.
I used to own Ulead Video X2 and after consulting many times with Ken Berry I was successful in some important projects. I now have purchased VideoStudio X6 with the hopes of it performing well right out of the box. No such luck. I have installed in on my HP work laptop thinking it's much more powerful than my home PC, but in trying to create my first project, I am not able to simply import a jpg to do a slide show with music. It gives the error "Unable to open file [xxx....xxxx...jpg]. ! File format mismatch [16803:1:3]"
I have of course scoured the web and have seen some other users struggling with the same error. So far all I've seen is that it may be the video card or Update to the Graphics board driver. I'm not too techy though I work at HP...and am really nervous about altering any updates on my work laptop. I haven't yet tried any updates or patches thinking that if I just got this, shouldn't it be the latest? I was successful in importing video from an iPhone and I've been successful with mp3 audio files as well, but the jpg's just aren't working. I even tried converting the jpg files to pdf format - but that's not supported I see as an importable file.
I have also noted that if I try to view the sample pictures from the library, it tells me "Original file [C:program filescorelcorel videostudio pro X4samplesimagexxxxxJPG] doesn't exist. I am able to view the sample video clips. But when looking at where Corel was saved on my system, it didn't default to "Program Files" which I thought is what it stated upon installation, but it put it in "Program Files (x86)" So I don't even know if I can relink to fix that. Even if I do, that doesn't solve my jpg fundamental problem. I hate to sound like a whiner, but I'm really discouraged and hope the fix is easy after spending so much for a reliable Video SW program. My wife's best friend passed away and I've promised a tribute slide show for her wake to be completed in the next 2 weeks.
Is it possible to Capture in MPEG FORMAT with Pro X4?
It was possible with Pro X2 but not with Pro X3.
I have a created a video using my Sony XE105 handycam in HD and edited it successfully using X2.
I can then export it to WMV format and view the file in superb quality in windows media player. However, when I try to export into FLV format, I get the message about converting and it sits at 0%. I have left it for over a half hour without any movement before deeming it as having "hung" and trying again.
I'd really like to export movies in FLV format rather than WMV?
I have problem when I import video. It's says unable to open file, file format mismatch. I have make a clip for Wednesday!!
In addition, LAST TIME WHEN I pressed "create video file" it stopped in the middle of the saving. Why did it happen?
I have just download and installed Corel VideoStudio Pro X4. Mainly with the expectation I could import and work with MTS file formats.
However I've gone to import them and it comes back with a file format mismatch error. This doesn't make any sense to me, as I read up on it and thought the program could work with these files.
The files that I want to import are very big, eg/ 206mb and 418mb. Do I need to downsize these to work with them? If so, how do I do this?
I am currently on X6, but have had every version prior produce the same problem. When I create a Video File using the "Custom" avi (Xvid) option, it doesn't matter which Audio format and setting I select ( and I have tried them all !) when I play the file on my TV ( Panasonic - New) I get a message that the Audio file is unsupported, and there is no audio.

i bought VSP4x about a month ago to try to get back into video editing (was originally using Media Studio on my XP machine but it isn't supported on Win7) and was working fine with video acquired through the method capture -> edit - > share. but once i started bringing in videos from other sources it started going bonkers. one source i get my video from is a screen capturing program called Bandicam. it creates standard Mpeg encoded VBR AVIs. i would editing my footage cut, and snip where needed. add some text and then render. as soon as it hits 1% of rendering it will come back with a unspecified error and give me a dump files to send to tech support. i then proceed to find tech support but was unable to find any sorts on the website that wasnt going to cost me $20 just to send an email. i searched everywhere i can after that for a solution. couldnt find one.

is it posible choose 'framebased' format while burning bluray dvd using UVSX6? how?
since i found the result disk i burn with 'upper field first' looks not as sharpness as the m2t file output with bluray h264 30p (framebased) format, it looks like there are only half pixels amount in vertical direction.
P.S. i look result disk through BD dvd player software on my pc.
I've been experimenting with syncing audio and video in a precise way (something like URL....), and have found that in every output format except "MPEG Optimizer...", the sync is a little off... or at least different than the preview.
Through experimentation, I have found that you can be off by one frame and not really notice, but two frames and things look "amateurly" synced. Given that there is one frame leeway, I figured that rounding due to frame rate differences are accounted for, but this is not the case.
In some cases, I have also noticed transition and F/X changes, depending on the output format. For example, I have an image of a statue with "AutoSketch" applied. In the preview, everything looks wonderful. In HD MP4 output, the statue is drawn top to bottom, then the base of the statue disappears and is re-drawn. In DV and WMV format, the drawing is noticeably different, even though the resolution is the same.
What gives? If we can't count on the output to be like the preview, then all that time spent making a killer sync is just wasted
I have a canon 100HF VIXIA that produces AVCHD files. I have been having problems streaming edited videos (VSX3) to my Western Digital Live Plus media player and Samsung BD player...I get very choppy video and sometimes complete stops. My playstation 3 can handle these streams but not the other media players. What would be the best file format to render these videos (in HD)? Should I be outputing these as Blue Ray mpeg2 INSTEAD OF acvhd?

The Share - Upload to Web - Vimeo MPEG-4 4:3 option gives you:

24 bits, 640 x 480, 25 fps
Frame-based
H.264 Baseline Profile Video: 2500 Kbps

Is this OK? Vimeo said they pillarbox all SD videos (ie. smaller than 1280x720) in order to fit them into their standard player so should I do the Vimeo HD 16:9 option for instance?

I created a 4 minute video project in VS Pro X3. Source of video clips were from a Sony HDR-CX550V camcorder. I added some titles to a few video clips and 3 titles on a "Graphic - Color" background. When creating a video file (under SHARE) and choosing Blu-ray ----> NTSC MPEG2 (1920 x 1080), I found the following: Video clips are sharp, no problem, but the titles have black lines at irregular intervals, to the point that the letters cannot be read. What may be the cause and how can I eliminate this problem.
View 4 Replies View RelatedGiven that it seems to be a good idea to render VSP projects to a single video file before attempting to create a DVD through Share Create Disc, I am wondering what is the most optimal type of video file to initially render the VSP into.
The video from my camera comes in a ACVHD 1080/60i. My target final disc is either 1) standard DVD, or 2) Blu Ray. I have been rendering the VSP into a 1920x1080 AVCHD format.
What's the best format to use when transferring VHS tapes to my p.c? I've tried AVI but an average tape takes up to 400Mb on my hard drive which seems excessive. The VHS tapes mainly have films and documentaries the majority of which will be deleted once I've watched them on my PC.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFirst, some glitches (short freeze frame) at video transitions. Usually at the end of the transition. I could upload some samples... The problem persist in both : hardware or software accelerated mode.
Also, when i want to create a video file and i use the "same as first video clip" even the project is a HDV 1440x1080 format, the video is created as DVD 720x576 4:3 aspect.
I'm using Video Studio Pro X2 on XP.
I have a personal website and upload video files for people to download. My videos are around 45-60 mins long and I save them using MPEG optimizer usually, resulting in file sizes of around 2GB. These files take a long time to download, and I have to upload them overnight. I've downloaded video files of around 60 mins in duration from other sites which have been only 500MB in size. These tend to be WMV files 25bit with frame size around 640 x 480 and bit rate of around 1122fbps, frame rate 25fps.
Is this the best format for achieving a compromise between quality and file size? The WMV options un custom are much smaller frame sizes, where can I find the right option? Is there a better format available in the custom menu?
