Should I try and work with two different formats in my time line or should I convert both files to the same format first, I'm using dv-avi files and MTS (AVCHD) files. Project will be going to a standard dvd. Both files are filmed in 16:9 .
View 13 RepliesWith the installation of SP1 (VSX4), the options to create a blu-ray video file (assuming 1920x1080 only, though the same options exist for 1440x1080) are now:
Blu-ray (1920 x 1080)
Blu-ray H.264 (1920 x 1080P)
Blu-ray H.264 (1920 x 1080)
Now, I want to create a 'standard' Blu-ray disc of family videos. My camera is a Canon Vixia HF20, recording in 1920x1080 in the '60i' mode. The camera creates AVCHD formatted files. I know I don't want the progressive option, however, what is the difference between the other two options (is it MEG4 vs. AVCHD? If so, what should I choose when creating a new disc?). I want my disc to support as many blu-ray players and HDTV's as possible since I will be giving copies to various family members (meaning I don't want a format that supports only the latest releases of blu-ray players).
I am new to Pro X3 and am having problems with titling when creating a DVD. I haven't found the programme intuitive at all with no indication of where to start with creating a title format and chapters. Having finally found it , under creating a DVD under Tools, hardly obvious, I found that there was a drop down list of formats under Fun and Historic but no indication of how to create ones own format. I searched the forum but could find only one item but on opening it found the video section was blocked out with the usual red cross in the corner to show it wasn't available. I have the latest upgrade of Direct X which I imagine should have opened it. I tried to open my own folders to obtain a photo. but the programme failed to open anything. which I assume came with the programme. I've deleted all these. Will this have created a problem and should I reinstall the programme?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have found that the program Videostudio x5 does not play MPG formats.
When using SHARE-Custom-MPG the program renders the video, then displays a general error message and closes the program.
It seems to play AVI, MOV, MP4, WMV, Webm, UIS formats.
Other players work - ie. VLC , Media Player Classic and DIV-X. A black screen is shown in WIN DVD silver.
I have loaded H-Lite 9.90 , FFDSHOW and Windows 8 codecs, but this made no difference.
I have downloaded and installed Videostudio X6 as a trial, but this made no difference either

My latest problem is file formats! I have two cameras, one of which produces .AVI video format. I have found that Corel does not "read" this format - or am I wrong? I am working from a card reader. I have succeeded in using the latter files in VS but only by converting to MP3. I don't want to part with this very handy camera so am I missing something in that perhaps I can change some setting to enable Corel to recognise .AVI files? I don't want to have to use the editing suite which came with my Traveller camera. I have found it is easy to load via Picasa - which accepts many formats - but it's when I come to insert media file to the VS library that the trouble starts - obviously because the files are .AVI.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a video that in its native format is 1920 x 1080. I need to add our logo to the corner and I have easily done this. Now I need to render it out into several different formats. Rendering it as an MP4 isn't a problem. However, I can't seem to get anything to work in the WMV category. Each time I try to change the size attribute of ANY of the 'profiles' I receive an Access Denied error from Windows Media inside VisualStudio. After I click OK, it tells me to restart the codec and try again. I can pick any of the profiles and receive the same error.
After that issue is corrected, I have another one that is similar. At the 1920 x 1080 resolution, the black bars occupy quite a bit of the viewing window. I can easily 'crop' them off but then I am faced with the same issue as above. How to I set ANY of the formats (MP4, WMV, etc) to 1772 x 472 as the finished size. None of the file types allow you to change the size. Am I missing a simple step here? I have a feeling I am.
When capturing video, other formats besides DVD are missing. I am trying to import video for outputting Blu-Ray but I am unable to select Blu-Ray as the imput format. It's not greyed out, it's missing along with other formats. The only format that you can select is DVD.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have several different video clips with different formats from different cameras I'd like to use in one project. Is this possible and if so, is the rule to use the lowest common denominator? e.g. One file type is 25fps, 720x576 non-hd and another is 50fps, 1280x720 hd, so the output would have to use the first specs? What about different clips and the upper, lower, frame based thingy? I did try one experiment combining the two examples above using the first specs to create and avi file and the original 720x576 quality was reduced but the 1280x720 came out fine. Thats why Im asking - If I created the output based on the first lower specs, why did the clip with those specs turn out worse?

MPEG-4, DV, DVD and the difference between this and Create Disk?
I have created my project on a laptop that does not have a DVD Burner. Should I create an MPEG file and copy it over to a desktop that has a DVD burner? Just looking for the best way burn a DVD.
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 had a time where I shot some home videos on my old Sony DV camera (type2 DV 29.97fps) and also some on my other digital cameras of various models which recorded in mjpeg (20fps), h.263(30fps), mpeg4sp (29.97fps), and even a few .asp. I want to combine all these in chronological order on DVD. But I worried about which format to choose when rendering such a mixture, since I've heard that type 2 DV should be lower filed first. Will that mess up the way the other files are rendered? I was wondering if i should render the DV out to DVD compliant mpeg2 first and then add in the others in another project.

If I so much as drop 3D file onto the timeline and tag it as 3D (SBS L-R in my case), I get the "... lost 3D attributes..." message when I try to create a 3D file. I tried tagging a 2D file as 3D for S&Gs and got the same result. In case it matters, the files are in .avi format (and even rendering a 2D version of these makes a jumpy video, but I digress...).
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn X2, if I waited long enough once a video was loaded into memory, I could rewind/forward/clip to any point in the video on the timeline just about instantly. In X2, if I tried to forward/rewind/clip to a point in the timeline in the video without waiting, it would give me about 1 fps when moving the current point in the timeline, and it would also play the video at the same 1 fps--until I waited a while.
In X3, the video can play pretty smoothly just about right away, but no matter how long I wait, moving backwards in the timeline gives me about 1fps, and moving forward sometimes gives as much as 8fps--but it is never smooth. Was this behavior by design? It makes video editing a total nightmare--it takes forever to find cutpoints in the video. How screaming-fast of a machine must someone have to not get 1fps when moving backwards on the timeline in X3, and is there something I can change in settings that might offer a better framerate?
Should I re-install X2 so I can move in the timeline at a decent rate, then import it into X3 for the final output, or is there a better option?
I am trying to edit and render video that was shot in 1920 x 1080 in the best quality possible but the finished product ends up being 720 x 576. When I go to project settings, the highest frame size I can select is 720 x 576, the User-defined option is greyed out. I am using Pro X2.

I have edited these avi files many times with x2 before. I tried opening mpg files and they were ok. So im guessing its to do with an avi decoder? - but if so why does the avi file play fine in windows media player?
I'm new to video editing and am using video studio Pro X3, everytime I edit some video or want to use a clip. The trimmed video always flashes the first frame at the start and finish of the trimmed clip. Also when I add a subtitle or text in the time line, that first frame flashes by at the beginning and end of of the text. This is very annoying and doesn't look very good in the project. How can I remove this first frame and how do I prevent it in the first place??

I was working for a while with VideoStudio ProX5 and I'm trying the demo version of VideoStudio ProX6 and I've got some issue...
First, my video files are .MOV from my Nikon D3100. 1920X1080 24FPS H.264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding.
My computer: HP Laptop DV6 Intel Core i3 350M @ 2.27GHz. 8GB of memory. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470. On Win7 Family Premium 64bits.
So it's a car video, cars are at street speed or lower and you can clearly see the sag of the cars. I've try different output (.avi, .mp4, .mts etc... ) from custom to the one included in the program and still sag like crazy.
My problem seems like it should have a simple answer yet I cannot find it anywhere and I even have the user manual printed out.
I have multiple tracks in my project and I want to insert something video at the front end (not the beginning but at the 30 sec mark of a 6 mon video) and have all contects of the other track move as well. I can make this happen when I am deleting "stuff" and everying will move to the left but when I go to insert things, I cannot get the other tracks to move to the right. I know this is a common occurence in video editing so this ability has to be in VS Pro 4 but for the life of me I cannot make it happen.
I know on the left side of track 1 there is down arrow that has an option to enable ripple editting and I do a select all tracks and enable ripple editing but when I try to do the insert, the rest of the track do not move.
I'm moving over from Pinnacle Studio 15, and so far I like what I'm seeing with VS. The preview pane is MUCH better for editing Hi Def video than what Pinnacle provides, so I may be a convert. But, in Pinnacle, it is easy to create a title, and change the background using stock photos, or your own photos for that matter. I'm having difficulty editing the titles in VS. Is there a way to change the background?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy 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.
We are giving Corel VideoStudio Pro X6 a trial. We recently attended a concert a client of ours performed. We video recorded this performance using an iphone 4s cell phone and then downloaded to a Toshiba laptop which operates using Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit . We video recorded one song that we wish to upload to YouTube. Our question is: how can we delete sections of the video portion of the recorded file without deleting the audio portion, and then add wanted video clips which have no audio ? Our goal is to replace sections of the video portion of the file with wanted "silent" video clips from other files without changing the original audio track and original timeline in any way. Can this be done using Corel VideoStudio Pro X6? We are hoping that Corel VideoStudio Pro X6 is the video editing software for us.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI thought about posting this in the X6 wishlist, but I thought I would post it here to see if there was any way to do this. Many times I will do a multicamera shoot with music and it all needs to sync up. lets use a music video as an example.
I set up three camera's start them recording, then I will clap my hands in plain view of all three cameras, I then start the music and shoot the video. when I am done, I will import the three videos into videostudio along with the music.
here's what I want from videostudio. I have three video tracks, I place each video into the three tracks. the currently selected video track is the one only one that is displayed. I find the same frame in all three tracks where my hands come together on the last clap, split them and remove the clip before the split. now all three tracks are in sync. now I place the music in the audio track and manually align it with one of the video tracks.
now you turn on a split mode, where when you split one video track, it splits all three video tracks at the same time. when you click on a split video track, it becomes highlited and is the one that is displayed. you go through and split the video all the way through. each edit will have one of the three video tracks highlighted and will be the one that is displayed. so what you have when you are done, is three video tracks, all split the same, one of the three video tracks is highlighted at each split and is the video that is displayed. basically you can quickly and easily edit the music video, all three tracks remain in sync and only the edits you want are displayed.
you can also drag the splits and it moves the splits in all three video tracks so they remain aligned.
I use cubase 6.5 to record my music and it has this function for audio. I have been wishing for the same thing with my video editing. can you do this somehow with videostudio X5?.
I have been using VideoStudio software for many years, so am familiar with the way earlier versions work.
I have been working on a new major video project using VideoStudio Pro X4 Ultimate edition the past few days, and have been relatively happy, even with the ProDad. But I have just uploaded some Wav files from a Zoom H4 and although they all load OK and Play OK on the timelines in CLIP mode, when I click on PROJECT and play the same sound files they just provide extremely loud 'white-noise', in other words I'm unable to edit the sound files at all! I thought that possibly the Wav 48.000KHz 24 Bit, Stereo files were at fault, but if I clicked back to CLIP and then pressed play, all the sound is perfect! So it is NOT the sound files but something within X4 Pro.
To double check my sound files, I opened up the exact same Wav files in the Corel Ulead Videostudio 11 Plus software, and ALL the sound files play correctly in both CLIP and PROJECT! This is a VERY serious problem because I cannot edit many important sound files with VS PRo X4 Ultimate edition!
I've tried some 44KHz 16Bit stereo files and they seem to play OK in Project mode within Pro X4.
I am using Video Studio x2 and I am trying to edit video from my HD camcorder. The video that I am trying to edit is in MPEG4 format and at a rate of 30fps at 1280x720. I have tried to change the properties within Videostudio but when I try to watch it or do anything else, the programme crashes and I have to start again. In the past I have to down grade the format to DVD, and then it works, but at a cost. Does VSx2 support this format or do I have to upgrade the programme to support HD editing? I am using a Laptop with a intel core 2 prossessor and a 1024mb Nvidia Geforce graphic card, which I feel should be enough.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to X3 and it will happily load 1920 x 1080 @ 50p x264/AVC files from a Pan HDC-HS700 just fine (and reports the details correctly but as PAL HDMV). As I play these back in native form on my HTPC (and they look stunning) I just want to EDIT them, then smart render them out in the same format.
This is where I seem to come unstuck, as if I choose "Create Video FIle --> Same as First Video Clip", X3 wants to pump it out as PAL, MPEG 720 x 576 @25fps! I can also not find or create a template that matches the specs of the format.
So
1) Can X3 handle 1920 x 1080 @ 50p x264/AVC out of the box
2) Is there a "tweak" like old versions where you can expose additional CODEC settings to handle 1920 x 1080 @ 50p x264/AVC
3) ....if not what alternative software does work with 1920 x 1080 @ 50p x264/AVC (as Pana's bundled HD Writer is very limited)
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.
have a newly acquired Canon HF S21 video camera that captures footage in AVCHD. I plan on using Corel for capture and edit.
My question is for other AVCHD users. Do you use any tools to convert the files to .avi? And then edit those in VS X3 in order to aid the rendering process?
Someone refered me to Cineform Neoscene. It is a bit pricey, but here it is: [URL]
Is AVCHD really a problem in VS x3? If I convert to .avi, will I be able to render to a BD DVD later on and still retain the HD image as good as that on the original AVCHD footage?
