VideoStudio :: Exact Placement Of Overlay Clips
Apr 5, 2011
I am doing a project where I need to overlay short clips on top of a longer clip, but at exact/specific placements/timecodes.
Try to just constantly drag the overlay and hoping to hit the exact place, is exasperating.
Is there any way to just say "put the overlay at hhmssff"?
I now have VSX4 but could not finds such a feature/option.
Also, another thing that has been annoying all along and still not addressed in X4 is when it comes to rendering/"sharing" a movie. I am always forgetting to turn off the annoying "automatically play the resulting video after rendering".......so I will start a 2-hour rendering process and all of a sudden, from the other room, I hear the video playing.
Isn't there some place to permanently turn off this !@#$%^&*() default?

I am using photos for a slideshow. How do you resize a photo or video on the overlay track to the exact size on the timeline? I know you can use the resize handles but is there a faster way?

I've been choosing different transitions for clips in overlay tracks. All of them applies the effect without transparency. I really don' t like the white, black or whatever color while playing transitions. It's better for me to see the cross fade between both clips directly. Background settings (in Preferences) allow to change color but not choosing transparency.
I'm using Corel VideoStudio X6 Pro 16.1.0.45 Ultimate.

This is a new fault which has appeared with Corel Pro x3. When I play clips on the overlay tracks as a project they play faultlessly. When I play them as a clip on any overlay track, there is no sound and it stutters instead of one constant speed. I have installed the program twice now trying to fix this problem. I am editing in Standard Definition. What could be causing this problem? This occurs with all files on the overlay tracks played in clip mode.
My computer is a Pentium (R) D CPU 3.00GHz, 3.25GB of RAM, Windows XP Pro, Intel Motherboard, ATI Radeon HD 5450, 512MB DDR3, IDT Audio. Sony HVR-V1P Pan NVGS400

I would like to use coordinates to place the center of a radial blur. Is this possible? If not, then is there any other way to accurately place the center, other than guessing by dragging the thing around in the white box?

I have been a user of Media Studio pro 8 for some years now and I have just downloaded and installed Coral Videostudio demo version. I am working with overlays and in particular to rotate an overlay together with motion.
The motion side I can see how to do it but I cannot find a rotate options which will rotate the clip a degree at a time. The only rotate option I can find is in 90deg at a time.

I would like to have the overlay tracks be increased up to 99 tracks, like some of the other programs have. They also have more audio tracks available as well.

All of a sudden my Videostudio X4 will not play any clip for longer then a second or two. When you play a clip or the project it plays for 1 or 2 seconds and stops just like you hit the stop or pause button. Click play again and it does the same thing. Makes it really impossible to edit. It had been working great up until last week. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still have the same problem. I have excluded my anti virus from scanning the Corel folder.

So I drag and drop a bunch of video files into the timeline and want to mute them all in one easy step. It would seem that all you would need to do it right click and mute while they are still all selected from the import but the mute setting isn't active. meaning I have to mute each clip separately. That takes a LONG time.

I've installed NewBlue ColorFast, and it shows up in VS X6 as expected. If I drag and drop it onto the video track, the changes I make apply, no problem. But if I drag and drop it onto the overlay track, then make the changes I need, they don't stick … they go away when the dialogue is closed. Is this filter limited to the video track only? Or do I have a problem here?

I rendered (in animation software) a series of .png files with transparency for an overlay in VidStudio. 150 of them that all need to be shortened from the default photo duration of 3:00 seconds. Plus, for each one, I will need to adjust the size of the overlay track. Is there a way to manage the entire track for these adjustments? Or a place to adjust the preferences..?

Is there any way to crop a video clip in an overlay track-not just change the size of the entire image keeping it intact.

When I try to combine 2 videos to play over each other (i.e. one full screen one anchored in a corner) the overlay track plays at an accelerated rate with no sound, whereas the main video will play as normal. However if I switch them around the same problem arises, the overlay video plays fine the main accelerated with no sound.
If I play them separately they will both play fine. The video I am trying to anchor was recorded with a webcam and therefore may be the problem. If I need to give more details w/ specs etc.

I am attempting to put together a video showing the subject (my wife) as she is working in her flower bed.. I shot the video from a tripod. I have a PNG photo of a fence with a knot hole. I am attempting to follow her as if I am seeing thru a knot hole.I have the video of her on overlay track 1 and the fence/knot hole on overlay 2. How do I track her in the middle of the knot hole? Can the overlay tracks somehow be key-framed?

Is there an advantage to putting videos or photos on the main timeline as opposed to starting everything on an overlay track? On a previous post (Resizing overlay tracks) resize problem with photos and began to wonder if all of the editing couldn't just take place on overlay tracks.

I'm just about ready to buy Corel Studio Pro X5, but one "issue" is bothering me, I cannot fade in and out the overlay track. I can drag the cross-fade onto the image or video, but it doesn't cross-fade with the actual video. Instead, the screen suddenly goes black and the overlay track fades in. Same on the way out, it just fades to black (queue the music ) and then the underlying video pops back in.
I'm using the 30-day trial Video Studio Pro X5.

I have a trial version of VideoStudio Pro X4.The overlay tab is not present at the top of the interface. Is this feature left off of the trial version? The video I have in the overlay track is blank and cannot be seen over the main track. Am I doing something wrong or is the feature not part of the program? I need to be sure there is a chroma key feature that works well before buying the program.

Using Video Studio X4 I have noticed that I can insert a Title to the overlay tracks. The initial title goes to the title track, but can be dragged to the overlay track.
I’ve had a look at the track manager and as expected there is still the option to use two title tracks. Even so the ability to use the overlays for titles is very interesting.

If I place a video in the overlay track, it doesn't retain its normal size, but is resized to small window in the middle. This makes it very hard to align components with the video track. Is there some way to disable this resizing of the overlay track video and just have it retain its normal size? (The same size as the video track video)

I haven´t used VS X3 for a while... everything as fine. Recently I used it again, and it happened that the fade-in/fade-out buttons (in the video edit group of controls) for the overlay clips do not work. Even though I select them to enable the fading, the overlay video starts without any fading.Is there any special setting somewhere that can change the behavior of these buttons. Also the rotating fade in/out does not work ay more.

I have seen tutorials and used successfully the process needed to produce a cross fade between the primary video and overlay tracks in VS pro x5, but it's a process requiring several steps. I was recently revisiting my VS version 9 located in another computer when I noticed that VS9 seems to automatically place crossfades between the two tracks.
Is it possible to do this in VS pro X5? Was this feature abandoned on versions later than VS9?

I now know how to get my main video and overlay tracks to cross fade. I also know that the default cross fade effect using the overlay properties option has a duration of approx 30% of the entire clip.
Is there a way to control the duration of the overlay fade in / fade out?

I'm trying to key frame an overlay video ( or picture) from a distorted position to another different distorted position. I tried Picture in Picture but that effect only changes position not distortion (well it can be distorted with rotating x,y or z but it does not give the desired effect). So how can achieve that effect
My second problem is that while the video (or picture) moves from one point to another point at certain positions I want that video become invisible. Again I tried Picture in Picture. Why picture in picture gives a black background? First I tried to remove that black background with chroma key but some parts of the video became invisible (because of black background). Since I defined a mask, I can not define another mask to specify invisible positions. When I tried mask frame for that video, the mask frame also moves with the video. I want the mask to stay where it is.
My last question is about texts. I want my text to move from right to left. There are lots of fancy text effects, but I couldn't find that one. There is one close to that one but the letters bends to one side.

Have just started working on VS and discovered a strange issue. I can put a piece of video in the clip window to mark in/out points and it plays fine. When I drag it to the timeline and play as a clip, there is no audio!

I have ONE large 1hr AVI file captured from a DV camcorder. I have used Corel Videostudio to "split by scene", and that works fine, all clips are cpatured. BUT the shooting date for the clips are shown as the same date and time for all clips.
Where can I see the actual shooting date for each clip? I tried to use the old Win Movice maker on a WinXP machine, and here it works fine.
In corel VS I also tried to take one clip in the middle of the file and used the shared function to create an DV AVI file. This file I imported to VideoStudio - and now the date and time for this single clip is right. Unfortunately if I a convert all clips into one single file again I still have the problem.

In the past using VS10+ I noticed an issue importing sound and music clips. I did import them into my project from my music folder without any problems. The issue is when I deleted the sound and music clip from my folder it disappeared from my video project and I would have to get the clip back into my music folder and keep it in there until I burned a DVD. Is this routine for VS?

I am importing some .avi files and burning to a disc. Most of the .avi clips are fine on the DVD, but two that have panning sequences are very jerky. I checked the source .avi files and they pan smoothly.
I've explored changing the Speed to Quality slider and also the Frame Type (Upper/Lower field first) setting to no avail.

Cannot preview .MPG files.VSPro5 won’t play MPG clips.
I have only ever worked with AVI files, MOV files OR Video_TS files with few problems and have recently upgraded from CVSProX4 to X5. A family member has asked me to put all his home movies onto DVD. These are in MPG format.
I can import all the individual clips into CVSProX5 – however, the clips will only play when they are selected as the whole project. Selecting an individual clip for editing purposes results in a green screen. However I can manually move the scrubber through every frame within that clip (with an absence of sound) – but will not play that clip. I have converted some clips to .MOV format and can then play (and edit) and listen to individual clips.
I don’t particulary want to convert many hundreds of individual .MPG clips.

I just created a project with many different clips. Some of them play perfectly while others are jerky in playback. The original videos were imported to Correl from video files downloaded from the internet. Some of them are MPEG and others are AVI. It seems that the MPEG files play fine while the AVI files are slow. Not sure why this is since I created another very similar project and the AVI files in that project played back fine.

How can I rename clips in the library. For example, after I split or multi split a clip, I have multiple files with the same name? I cannot click or rightclick, and then rename the files to keep them separate.
