In VS X4 Create Video File there are several AVCHD settings.what the difference is between AVCHD 1440 x 1080P and AVCHD 1440 x 1080 ?With and without "P"?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to match the project settings to an imported HD video clip (1920x1080 *.mts).I've been using videoStudio for years but only in 720x480 SD. I just got a Panasonic HDC-SDT750PP HD camera and want to make sure the video output file makes the most out of both camera and X3 but in project settings it only allows 720x480.
Does the project setting have any affect on the final video file?The properties of the video file says 1920x1080 24b H264 yet the source file extension is *.mts
My intention is to create a HD video file that I burn to a Hybrid DVD until I get a Blu-ray burner but what format to save the file in if the X3 project setting only goes to 720x480.
I've just completed my first project and when I attempt to create a video file for hard disk output I'm unsure what option I should select from the drop down box that gives me the highest quality without re-rendering the video.
My AVCHD 50p original files are according to the file properties in VSP -
PAL HDMV
H.264 Video
24bits, 1920/1080, 16.9
50.000 frames/sec
Variable bit rate (max.26000 kbps)
Dolby Digital Audio
48000 Hz, 5.1 channels 384 kbps
So it looks like I need to select AVCHD 1920x1080 50p however in the properties for that file creation, the video bitrate is max 20000 kbps (my video 24.7) and audio is only 2.0 (my audio 5.1).
I really would like to retain the 5.1 audio and my higher video bitrate.
Also when I view the project properties the video is shown as 1024 x 576.
PAL double (50 fps)
Microsoft AVI files
24 bits, 1024 x 576, 50 fps
Frame-based
Uncompressed
PCM, 48.000 kHz, 16 bits, 5.1 Channels
I have a h.264 video file in .m2ts format, captured using a TV card, and I want to burn this to an AVCHD DVD. I've been trying to do this with VSX4. I don't want the video to be re-encoded because it's already in a suitable format. If I open X4, and then Create Disc and insert the video, the video plays fine and everything looks OK. However, when I click Burn on the final screen, I get a message saying that the video will take some time to render (oddly, since I've chosen the option not to convert compatible files, and VS seems to be taking notice of this choice because if I de-select it, the video size on the disc indicator increases). If I click OK, the rendering process seems to start but it jumps to 3% and then nothing happens. It just sits there.
I thought maybe VS had a problem with the video, so I tried inserting it onto the timeline, and I can edit and output it from there without any problems. But, I can't burn it to AVCHD DVD without re-encoding it, which I don't want to do because it will reduce the quality of what is already a compatible file.
What are the best Project Properties settings to choose when starting a project with AVCHD source clips? I may be asking a dumb question here, but I have tried to search the database, and can't find a thread that gives me what I am looking for. My camera is a JVC Everio GZ-HM320B and the clips it records have the following properties:
File Format - NTSC HDMV
Video Type - H.264 Video, Upper Field First
Attributes - 24 bits, 1920 x 1080, 16:9
Frame rate - 29.970 framse/sec
Date rate - Variable bit rate (Max 22599 kbps)
Audio type - Dolby Digital Audio
Attributes - 48000 Hz
Bit rate - 256 kbps
These clip properties were taken out of VS X4 by right clicking a clip and selecting Properties in the menu that popped up. I am concerned that I might be loosing some of the original clip quality when creating a project. I have read elsewhere on this Board that when creating an AVCHD DVD, the best workflow is to choose Create Disk after completing a project, Rather than choosing Create Video File. When I choose Create Disk, the burn module starts by defaulting to LPCM audio, and a Video data rate of 16000 kbps. I know these are adjustable to Dolby sound and up to 18000 kbps Video rate, but I wonder if I choose a different Project Properties setting when I start the project, if I might save some video quality.
My camera films in AVCHD 1080, 25fps. I currently use VideoStudeo x6. i have been using it for a while and when i export for youtube videos, i find its only quality video when you change the youtube video to HD. Is there a way to set the video, so its still crisp and clear at 360p/480p, as i find its always distorted at these levels, although the footage is amazing in hd. What are the exact project properties i should set and the file export settings.
I am fully aware of the settings for youtube, however is it because iam filming in AVCHd i cant get that clean crisp look at lower levels on youtube? as the best setting for youtube are mpeg files. for reference please check this video i did: [URL]......
I used a video light in lower light conditions to take an HD video (in AVCHD) which will be rendered to PAL SD DVD. Unfortunately the main speaker has red eye. Can my VSP x3 remove this?

Footage filmed with a panasonic cam, using Pro 6, when I hit share tab - create video file - I have many choices but I would like to save it as high format as the original, so do I hit , (Same as First Video Clip) or (AVCHD) both are nearly the same I'm guessing, I've saved in both formats and both ended up been the same size. What one I should save to ? I have added the properties of the original file.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using VS2 and have been working on creating a "hybrid DVD" AVCHD video. I have a Canon HD video camera and an HP computer (w/regular DVD burner) with an i7 quad. Hybrid DVD is played on a Bluray player and HD TV. Everything is working well with editing the clips etc... Rendering has gone well with no real problems. I recorded video at the highest setting 24 Mbps. When I click on properties for a (m2ts) clip in the timeline it indicates 21,0000 to 22,000 Kbps that seems normal. I than go directly to the burn step (Create disc>AVCHD) and proceed to burn the disc at 4X. When I click on the middle icon (thumbwheel) these are the properties:
MPEG files
24 bits, 1920 x 1080, 29.97 fps
Upper Field First
(HDMV-NTSC), 16:9
H.264 Video
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 18000 kbps)
Audio data rate: 384 kbps
Dolby Digital Audio, 48 KHz, 2/0(L,R)
These settings seem normal to me. Also, the "do not convert compliant......" is checked.
This is what I am not understanding. When the 18 minute HD project is brought into the burn disc module, it shows only 1.45 GB of data and after the disc is burned, the video file properties found on the disc show a total bit rate of 11,768. As a test with the same project, I did a (create video file>same as first clip) and created a mpg file that is 2.75 GB in size with a total bit rate of 21,649 which seems normal. I understand VS has a max of 18K but shouldn't I be able to create a hybrid disc with a data rate close to 18K. The video at the lower bit rate plays and look ok using my BR player but I wanted to find out if I could create a higher quality video on disc.
I have read probably every post relating to what I think my problem is and after trying a couple of things, I cannot increase the total bit rate of the video on my hybrid disc.
If the Pro X3 Service Pack includes dealing with AVCHD Lite video files?
It says "...the update provides: Updated camera support – broadened MPEG-4 capabilities add support for additional cameras, including selected cameras from Flip, Canon and more "
Just bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-Zs7 wich shoots AVCHS Lite HD video and a lesser quality .MOV files as well. I wanna know if Prox3 can deal with these before I upgrade!! I have Prox2 right now.
I'm about halfway through my 30 day trial of VS Pro X4, and starting to feel a little more comfortable with the software, but a few things are still puzzling me. Granted I've only scratched the surface of the SW capabilities so far.
I took the plunge and got a new Panasonic HDC-TM90K HD video recorder to replace my old 8mm analog Sony. I've only had the opportunity to use it several times, so far so good.
The Panasonic camera comes with HD Writer AE 3.0 software. Pretty rudimentary compared to VS Pro X4; does the basics, trimming, titles, transitions etc. Not bad, it works, but definitely not as sophisticated as VS Pro X4. However I need software that can capture the 8mm tapes I'm converting, which the Panasonic SW cannot, really don't want to learn/use two software packages so hence trying to focus on VS Pro X4. See thread viewtopic.php?f=1&t=41255 for my question re: mpeg compression.
Using the Panny HD Writer SW I was able to capture and burn AVCHD DVD's from the Panny camera SW without issue, not too difficult considering this is my firt time doing all this stuff. AVCHD DVD's play just fine on my Sony Blu-Ray.
I tried capturing the same video content from the Panny camera with VS Pro X4 and could not. VS Pro X4 is stating there is no camera attached. I believe the Panny SW is hijacking the USB connection first and hence is controlling the connection to the camera. I tried looking for some services that the Panny SW has running and closed the auto-run of the Panny SW, but still no luck. I haven't tried uninstalling the Panny SW, that's next.
I was however able to import the files from the Panny camcorder using the import function in VS Pro X4 by selecting the files I wanted. Imported files are the exact same size as the files imported in the Panny HD Writer AE 3.0 SW.
Was able to make a simple little video by adding a title, couple of transitions between clips etc, couple of chapter markers. All went fairly well. Then did "Share > Create Disc", used the default (only) disc template that came in the VS Pro X4 SW trial, selected AVCHD and burn disc, no issues, until I went to play the disc in my Sony Blu-Ray. Once the action in the video picked up and there was significant motion in the video the video started to break up, don't know the technical name for it, digital artifacts maybe? It doesn't look like the deinterlacing examples I've seen, which appear to be unaligned thin lines, this is more blotchy, like blocks of data not being filled in.
So then I tried it again and selected 2 pass conversion, this time it worked, which is good, but does that need to be done anytime your burning HD content to a AVCHD DVD?
I am editing a video using VS X3 and am using both AVCHD 1080i and AVCHD lite 720p clips.
What would be the best format to retain quality when I render as a file and then copy onto a USB stick to play on my Bluray player? My player seems able to read most formats.
In order to create a video file in the AVCHD 1920X1080 format, I have the following options in the VSP X6:
AVCHD (1920X1080)
AVCHD (1920X1080, 24P)
AVCHD (1920X1080, 25P)
AVCHD (1920X1080, 50P)
What is the differences between those formats, so I don't know what to choose. My original clips are 25 frames/sec, does it means that I have to choose the 25P?
I am having problems exporting my AVCHD file to my hard drive. The original file works fine in the preview window, but then exports as a very jerky video. The program I am using is VSX4 Ultimate, and there are no more updates available.
The video I am trying to export came from a camcorder SD card and has these properties:
File format: NTSC HDMV
Video Type: H.264 Video
Attributes: 24 bits, 1920 x 1080, 16:9
Data Rate: Variable bit rate (Max 26000 kbps)
Audio type: Dolby Digital Audio
Audio Bit rate: 256 kbps
Here are the project properties:
NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Upper Field First
(DVD-NTSC), 16:9
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps)
LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, Stereo
My goal is to export the video to my computer and have it look as good as it does in the preview.

I tried using the youtube uploader and was shocked how poor the video quality was...In the past I have experimented with creating a video file for youtube but my video's always appeared to be jumpy and miss frames once uploaded and took a long time to load, I read somewhere once to save the video as a HD .wmv file which did improve the picture quality a lot but didn't solve the missing frames or the long load time.
How to create a video file for youtube using Video Studio X2?
I have 50 inch 1080p TV and a media player that can play almost any format. I have VideoStudio X3 and a decent core2 PC running XP. I have a few 1 hour each video files that I captured from my sony SD camcorder few years back using Firewire. These video files are like 25GB each and not high def.
Now I have edited some of these video files but I am not sure what is the best format to use when creating video file to watch it on my HDTV. I don't need to burn disks or re-edit the files once I am done editing one time.
I have tried custom MPEG2 with 8000 bit rate and 100% quality and it looks okay but grainy on my HDTV. I tried avchd/Blu-ray and they look much smoother on HDTV however they are a bit soft and dull in colors and not as sharp as custom mpeg2.
There are so many formats like DVD mpeg2/AVCHD/HDV/Blu-ray with mpeg2 or h.264 and videostudio help did not do a good job explaining them So I would hope experts here would guide me what best quality format should I pick for these SD videos so that they look nice on my HDTV. Would picking aspect ration to 16:9 make any difference for these sd video?
I am sure when I buy an HD camcorder I would have better options to keep picture quality great.
I just upgraded to the X4. I never had this problem with the X3. I use a hitachi camcorder and the clips it produces are mpeg. The settings I use on the X4 are the default settings. When I place the clips on the timeline, they show up as 16:9. When I press play, they are still in 16:9 format.
However, when I create a video file using option DVD 16:9, I get the following problem. While the clip is playing, it will start as 16:9 then change to 4:3 and then back to 16:9 again and so on.
Is there a setting that I'm supposed to change. This never happened with the X3.
when i want to create video file in pro x4 the program crash, i reanstall the program and i stiil have the same problem.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAll my clips are 1440 x 1080 but, for some reason, the Project Properties are 720 x 576.Don't see that as any problem providing I can select the higher quality settings when I go to create a Video File. And that's where the problem begins.If I go Share/Create Video File/Custom I can see the properties in the Save Options box are 720 x 576 and I can't change them.I've tried clicking on Options and looking under the Compression tab but my only options there are PAL DVD or NTSC DVD. I can't find any option that will let me get the file back to the original properties of 1440 x 1080.I'm NOT trying to create a DVD - just a high quality file that I can play back on my computer and on my HD TV.

I shoot with a Zi8 in 720p mode. I import the file (MOV) and work on it in VSP X4 - no problem. I see the preview window in full widescreen (no black bars). I have tried every possible option to get an FLV file out of X4 without the black bars and it's no use.

I also get the black bars when I view the FLV file on my desktop using Wimpy FLV player: [URL]
Nature of the problem: Following the recommended procedure, I get to the phase where you created a video file. However when I go to preview the file, its badly pixelated.
Properties of your source files: All are clips from unprotected DVDs and play fine when captured.
What devices are involved and their mode of connection: Direct from computer's DVD player/recorder.
Project Settings: As listed under recommended procedure.
Output format: Mpeg to be burned to DVD.
PAL or NTSC: NTSC
Error Codes (if any): None
System information: AMD 64 3500+ w/ Dual SLi 7800 GTs and 2 GB of RAM.
I suspect that its a setting somewhere that has been changed because on a prototype I made using some of the same clips it worked fine. Then just stopped and started pixelating out of the blue.
I couldn't create DVD disk, or, couldn't create video file either. It would go to about 99% & then hang the system for hours (until stopped with Task Manager).
I had installed all of the updates, including SP2. I've uninstalled today & I will re-install in the next day or so to see if it works.
I've acquired the Corel Video Studio Pro x4 recently, and across an unplesant problem shortly after instalation. The "create video file" makes the program crash every time i press it.
