just purchased PaintShop Pro X3 and VideoStudio X4. I have a Panasonic camcorder which writes to mini DV tapes and has Firewire output. I previously did my editing using iMovie on an ageing Macbook. My new Windows 7 laptop doesn't have a firewire port therefore I was hopeful of capturing the raw footage on the Mac and then importing it into VideoStudio on the Windows laptop. When I try and import the .dv files created by iMovie I get the error 'File format mismatch'.
The videos play fine on the Windows laptop so I don't understand why VideoStudio can't read them.
I was thinking I could perhaps use something to convert the videos to a format readable by VideoStudio.
Have an open image in gimp 2.8 on suse 12.2, I call the "import palette" function, I set 64 colors, step 32, check the "from all layers" etc etc, and in the preview I see the 64 color palette I'd like. Looks good.
BUT: underneath the preview it says "the selected source contains no colors."And continuing the palette is indeed empty.
I recently discovered a 'change' to my 'Source Panel' window when I try to Import new files from my CF cards. I have 4.2 installed. All that is available on the left hand side of this window is the 'Other Source' pull down box and never any file source like my hard drives or CF cards or anything that used to be there prior to about a month ago. I reinstalled this program twice without any changes. Have I shut something off by accident? My buddy has the same program and he cannot find any reason my should be any different than his but it is.
Although rendering seems to work when I try to import media with cache media selected and link to source media unselected the jobs queue just shows the status 'waiting' on the imported clips.
just shot a interview using two cameras and now I am a little lost to edit them in Video Studio X6, how I can add a new track for video so I can mark and split those sources in the same way? I cant find a way to work with onbe source at Video track and another in the Overlay track... I need to sync both files and do the cuts for the show to work better.
Eventually I can get it to work but sometimes only after many (10-20) tries. Very frustrating since it is possible - just not reliable.
When I am in Capture (Visual Studio SE DVD ver 10) and go to Options - Video and Audio Capture Settings and try and select S Video (default is Composite), it seems to take but after clicking OK and the Change Field Order window pops up and does its thing, it frequently will not 'take'. I repeat numerous times until it does take so it is possible.
Any configuration file that holds the default settings for this so I can set S Video as the default instead of Composite. Then (I assume) the problem wouldn't matter.
Corel VSX4 now says "Either no video capture driver is installed in this system or do device is connected" now I am unable to capture new video from any source. W7 64B and I have downloaded the latest updates.
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.
My daughter has need of software to burn dvd's from her old digital tapes. She has an older copy of adobe premier and has the editing done. The tapes are probably d-avi? She is using windows xp prof'. Should i just buy her VS-x3 so she can use that burner that corel lets us download?
In VS X4 we do not have the ability to match the project properties to the specs of the source video. When editing "project properties", we only have two choices for compression (NTSC DVD and PAL DVD) which only allow a maximum resolution of 720. In X2 we had many more choices which included MPEG-2 where we could get up to 1920.
I thought it was rule number one to match the project properties to the source video. Maybe that is not so important anymore, but snapshots for freeze frames must be done in project mode to include any attributes. The resulting snapshot is the resolution of the project properties and therefore not the same as the orignal video. Once rendered, it will not look the same as it's parent frame. Maybe freeze frames are not important to anyone else, but they are to me.
I shoot with a Canon HV20, so I need 1440x1080. I have created an empty project in X2 with the correct properties that I use to start projects in X3 and X4. X4 appears to maintain the project properties once they are set.
I'm in the process of evaluating several video editing programs. So far I've used AVS Video Editor, Cyberlink Power Director and Adobe Premiere.With each program I've spent 30 minutes making a quick demo video to see how intuitive it is and how well it performs. Today I downloaded Corel Visual Studio and decided to give it a go.
I've run into a problem straight away.I've tried to import raw avi files.So I'm using the "Select Import Source Folders" screen.When I navigate to the folder containing the files the OK button is greyed out and won't work.It's greyed out all of the time.
I need to copy a layer from one drawing to another, the problem is that one of them is in model and the other one is in paper. The method I tried using was: I used the q select command to copy all objects from one layer on to the clipboard and then tried pasting it in the other drawing (which was in paper) - and nothing got pasted.
shot video at 120 fps HD MP4 NTSC/HD (720 not 1080), with an Lumix FZ200 camera. Saves to hard-drive with Panasonic software. Plays proper in VLC. Video Studio closes down when attempting to import it to the library,when in the edit mode. I can import jpegs or regular videos no problem. Using VSx4. This should be like using video shot with a GoPro Hero3.
I recently purchased Video Studio Express 2010 and cannot import avi files that were created using a Flip. I have tried importing them from both my hard drive and a flash drive. VSE does not recognize the avi files on either drive. I have been able to import mpg files without any problems.
I am new to using Video Studio Pro. I would like to animate my Paint Shop Pro png files or gif files with Video Studio. I figured out how to make the video work and figured out how to change the speed on individual frames. My problem is saving the project. I can only save it as a VSP file and it is too big to upload to Photo bucket. The whole animation is 15KB.
Can you change the save as file extension to include animated gifs?
I'm having with x3 when I import MOV files from an IPhone 4s onto an HP pavillion dv7 4270us laptop with 4 gb, 1.80ghz.
The playback is very choppy and almost paralyzed, while the audio does fine.Also, x3 constantly shuts down with a brief error message telling me to contact corel support.
Should I be converting these video clips before I import them into my capture folder on corel?
I'm trying to preserve quality since the iphone4s takes a pretty nice video, definitely rivals my canon dv and most HD flip cams I've seen.
I watched the Corel X5 Pro demo of someone importing a DVD on video, but when I insert either +R/W or vanilla DVD disc with home generated content from a few years ago VideoStudio Pro X5 doesn't import. The Capture - Import from Digital Media finds the files on the DVD and even displays them and can preview, but I never get the "import" button going live.
I've discovered I have some video effects, like "Film Express" (which happens to be a NewBlue effect) in VSX2 that I don't have in VSX4. I'd like to use it but don't know how to import it and don't know where to find it, either. how I might move it over?
I have a Sony Handycam DVD403 that works great even though it is old. Was trying to import the mini DVD into X3. In the picture below you can see that X3 recognizes it, but the import button is grayed out.
Not sure the best way to go about this. I did not want to reinstall the Sony Picture Package software that never worked real well in the first place, but that is how I was able to import it into VS11. I was kinda hoping X3 would just import it and I would not have to use Picture Package. How to import my mini DVD's? The folders are:
importing DVD's in VS-ProX5. I currently have both versions 12 and 15 (Pro X5) installed on my computer. In version 12, if I import or capture a DVD through the VIDEO_TS folders it will give me many options for what I want to do with the DVD Folder. It will let me see my audio options, let me choose to include or exclude subtitles and even change to a different angle, which I have never used. So a home video that I am trying to import in ProX5 does not even give me the choice! It just inserts the subtitles for me! The problem is that this time I didn't want the subtitles since my movie is in English and the subtitles are for my non-English speaking family members..Where on the new VS is the option for choosing subtitles? I can't believe it's not there and that Vs12 is more advanced than VS15..
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.
Is there any way to import the extra angles from a DVD? There is only one box to check for each chapter but the additional angles are listed in the box above the preview window. I thought maybe clicking on them would do something but it didn't. I also tried "Select All" but only the first angle was copied.
Will I have problems editing video if some of the video is shot at 30 fps and action shots are recorded at 60fps? Do I need to import the video shot at 60 fps in a separate folder and or keep them separate from the 30 fps segments for editing purposes? How do you get the final project properties to match the inputed video if they are different? I am planning on shooting most of the video at 30 fps but would like the action shots at a higher frame rate for slow motion etc. How is this accomplished, or is it no big deal? I want to know before I shoot all the video so I don't have a problem later.
I am using Corel VideoStudio ProX4 to build a small movie and am having a problem with AVI files. When I go to Step 2 Edit, and click on the folder icon to "Import Media Files" I can see a set of mp4 and avi files I would like to use in my project.
The mp4 files open fine and play just fine. The avi files were opening fine last night, but would play in a jerky manner when an audio track was laid over them. I blew away that project and today tried to go to Step 2 Edit, Import Media files, and tried to import the avi files again now I get this message:
File format mismatch 1081:1:3
It will no longer let me import, play, edit the avi files. These files play fine in Windows Media Player so I'm not sure what is going on. I just installed Service Pack 2 yesterday, and I'm thinking this may be causing the problem.
I am in the middle of doing a video for my father in laws 70th , And have hit a problem every time i import or add a video to vs x2 it shuts down , its fine with photos , Soon as i add video it shuts down i thought maybe it was a codec problem and installed k-lite full pack but still no change.
I have multiple .VOB and other files in a "VIDEO_TS" folder that I can't import using either the "File/Insert Media to Timeline" or the "Capture/Insert Digital Media" function of this VS Pro X2 software version. In both attempted instances I am presented with a error message that reads: 'Not a valid DVD Volume. Report ID: 0x8000408fe(2302)".
As background, these .VOB originated from my own personal DVD's recording that failed to "finalize" due to an electrical disconnect with that Liton recorder, or software failure. Using the Isobuster software, and the page 3 instructions for it found on the excellent website of [URL] ..., I created the file that I'm attempting to import into VS. I don't believe this remedial step of using Isobuster is the cause of my VS problem, as the .VOB files it created are functional as proven by their playing in VLC media player software. Thus, I don't want to be chasing ghosts along that path, unless you can be certain that is where I should be going.
I have just moved to VSP5 from 4 and am having difficulty importing .cr2 files in Capture. Same photo files go satisfactorily into v.4 but are apparently ignored by the new version. Am I missing a setup or preferences step?
To make this point more specifically: I have created test folders containing mixed .mov, .jpg and .cr2 files - only the .mov are recognised. I have also created a test folder containing only .jpg and .cr2 files. On Capture, VSP5 reports "There is no valid content".
I'm looking to import an existing project into another, I want to do this because then I can move the files around and edit them individually rather than creating an .avi and importing that video onto the timeline. Is there such a command?
I'm running VS Pro x4 and I'm trying to import a video that I got from a homemade DVD which was created from a VHS tape. When I import the file to VS, the video is fine, but it thinks there's no audio with it. If I play the file in iTunes, then it has audio.
The video file's specs are as follows:Kind: MPEG-4 video fileSize: 324 MBChannels: Stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1Encoded with: HandBrake 0.9.6Video Dimensions: 634x480Video Codec: H.264What am I doing wrong?
I am trying to capture video from our camcorder dvd (Canon DC210). When we use VS11, it gives us the option of importing each title (time splitting) or all as one title. I can not find out how to do the same thing with VS X3, it only gives us the single title, all clips joined as one.
Using X5 I was importing a .MTS file, something I have done successfully many times before. This time X5 produced a .DMP file with the message to copy the file to Corel for assistance.
How do I contact Corel and copy the file to them? The error message was:
