I use Corel PaintShop X3 for my photo’s so logic says if I want to edit videos I need VideoStudio X4!
I have HD video taken on a Canon G12 camera which is a MOV file. When played on my Windows computer it opens in QuickTime.
My question is will Videostudio X4 upload the MOV files OK for editing and can I convert to play on QuickTime or Windows WMP?
My current workflow is to use 3ds max to render image sequences of animation, then to use Media Encoder to convert them to mov files using the Quicktime Animation codec. The problem is that using these clips in Premiere prevents me from scrubbing the sequence timeline fluidly, even tho all of the files are being accessed from a Thunderbolt drive on a Macbook Pro. Even opening them in the Quicktime player causes sluggish playback. The images rendered are 1280x720. Because of the animation being frame based, I need the derived video to not drop frames like some codecs do, so the Quicktime Animation codec prevents that and it preserves the alpha channel in the images. So my question is, what can I do to improve this so that scrubbing the timeline becomes fluid?
View 16 Replies View RelatedI got a new laptop and loaded VS x4 on it. I have a complex edit that I started on my big desktop, where everything worked fine. I have a mix of AVCHD and MOV (1080i QuickTime) files, and they work together with no problem on the desktop computer.
However, the new laptop simply can't "see" the QuickTime files. I can't load them into the Library, so I can't re-link them in my project. I updated my version of VS x4 to SP2 on this computer, and still no go with the MOV files. How do I get VS to recognize the MOV files?
Edit: I can play the MOV files on the computer and I loaded the latest version of QuickTime. But VideoStudio still doesn't recognize QuickTime (MOV) files. MOV is not a selection in the drop-down list when I choose formats of videos to load into the Library.
I never had a problem exporting my projects as Quicktime MOV files until a few months ago. Now it seems when I create a QT file they come out blurry/ fuzzy/unusable. I have uninstalled/reinstalled VSPX3 and QT (and have tried to do it on several computers) but nothing has worked.
View 4 Replies View RelatedEvery Quicktime I import and cache into my project won't play audio, even though the audio tracks show up in the timeline with waveforms and the seqeunce specs match that of the source audio. Apparently Flame users are having similar problems. I'm having to strip out the audio into AIF for separate import and re-sync.
Oddly enough, I can hear the audio prior to import when playing the preview clip in Media Hub.
I just set up a new PC and loaded Pro X2 that I had bought a year ago. I also downloaded the patches. It appears that I can not place a MOV file into the timeline like I could with version 10Plus. 10 Plus did not work well but it did load. So, am I missing something here or do I need to convert all MOV files into something else.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been re-downloading my old Mini DV tapes. I have close to 30 of them so that's a considerable amount of data. I would like to do a reasonable (up for discussion of course) compression of the DV files before sticking them on my NAS box for all eternity (mirrored storage and backed up off-site).
I tried to use the batch conversion tool with several codecs and it generally works but I can't find a combination of codec and settings that leaves the video at the original 720x480 resolution and aspect ratio. When I pick, say, mp4 or m2t formats and 480p resolution I get 720x480 video but there are letterbox bars on the left and right. I do select the 4:3 aspect ratio.
What are the right settings for this task? I can figure out the right compromise for bitrate but I want 720x480 native resolution, no scaling. If I shouldn't use this tool for the job but something else
I've tried to compile videos in Quick time format at 800 x 600, 65% quality, using MPEG4 compression and each time it compiles at a much lower resolution than it should be, I used the Indeo compression for AVI and THAT compiles to my liking at 800 x 600, 65% quality, DivX is only free for 15 days, Xvid and Windows Encoder makes no difference (that can be noticed), Quicktime, DirectX and Windows Media Player is up to date.
I'll try compiling it using a compressor other than MPEG-4, but I'm not too hopeful of improvement, why it can compile AVI, but not Quicktime, I tried batch converting AVI to Quicktime, it still doesn't work.
How to render HD 1920 x 1080 video clips into the .mov, 1080p format required by my stock agency. I've gone into Share>Create Video File>Custom>Quicktime Movie Files>Options>General... but I am unable to find a 1920 x 1080 option. 800x600 is the highest setting with the default being 720x480. I'm using VS Pro X4 and also tried X2.
Original clip info for one camera: Type H.264, 24 bits, 1920x1080p, 16:9, 59.94fps Vari. bit rate 26,000
Any recommendation for a quicktime .mov compression setting that results in good quality and a manageable file size?

I'm doing a video and the client requested the final product as a quicktime file. I've had good results with creating .wmv files but haven't had much luck with .mp4 or .mov files. Using the "custom" option under "create video file" I select "Quicktime Movie Files" as the type. Every compression option I choose comes out crappy and a very small file size. When I select "no compression" the video looks great, but it's almost 2 gigs (the video is only about a minute long). The client will be uploading this video to a product page on Amazon and I think they have a maximum file size, probably around 500 MB.
I hope to convince the client to just accept a .wmv or maybe even a .flv file instead since I think Amazon accepts both of those. But in an effort to give them what they want, I hope to deliver in a .mov format.
I would like to convert my recorded mp4 videofiles with Corel Videostudio X3 to for example a DVD. The mp4 file is from a Sony DSC-H5 photocamera. It is HD quality not 1920 but i believe 1440 or something like that. What are the best settings to convert the mp4 to DVD without losing quality?

View 6 Replies View RelatedFor some reason, suddenly when I import video frames to layers, it is now set as Quicktime files that can only be opened (AVI,MPEG etc) and won't pick up MMV files at all. I used to make a lot of gifs fine with WMV files (thats the only format Photoshop PS5 would let me open for years), now it is set up as Quicktime files all of a sudden. It only opens AVI files as well, other video formats pop up with blank screens and then go transparent. Is there any way I can fix this? I'd like to be able to make gifs with WMV files again.
Is there some way you can open MP4 files onto Photoshop CS5 as well? Converting Youtube vids to WMV is quite a process.
Photoshop CS6 Extened won't play or process Dolby Digital (AC-3) Audio Files from my AVCHD video files.The video plays fine just no sound at all. When processed still no sound. Are there any (AC-3) audio codecs I can download and install. How would I install them. Do I need to convert audio files to another format & if so how & what format.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm making some music videos, and I thought I'd get the best audio quality using .WAV files instead of MP3 files. Trouble is, when I load a .WAV into my audio track, all I get is a bunch of noise and loud hiss. An MP3 file works just fine. If I play the "clip" in the preview window, each file will play just fine, but the problem shows itself when I play the "project" in the preview window. Is this happening because my computer has choked on all the data, and it's too much for it to handle? Am I stuck with using the MP3 files in my projects?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAll 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.
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

I have an SD Pioneer dvd player...model dv-49av. It plays all commercial DVD fine, but never a DVD I burn from VS. However, any DVD I burn from Corel plays perfectly in my Pioneer 23fd bluray player.
Anything I can do to change this? The disk type (-r, +r etc.) doesn't matter and the DVD that won't play plays fine on the computer. The disk loads fine, but when I select play the video or chapter it just locks up and I have to restart the player.
Having produced my first video production on VS4 I made several copies on DVD but I have been unable to get any of those DVD copies to play properly on most DVD players. They all behave differently on on Different players, on some players they won't even start, some will start and play part of the way through before playing up. All copies behave differently on different players. I have been able to get most copies to play properly on my computer.
View 1 Replies View Related...adding effects in VS x5 pro. I just downloaded the trial after upgrading to a new laptop running windows 7 and was told I could not use my videostudio 11 or moviefactory 6 plus. So I have video that I imported from my SDHC card in high def, it played fine until I started adding a crossfade and a couple of slow motions. Now, every video had no sound. I have tried deleting them and bring them back in, but still no sound. It will play music over the tracks, but I have lost all my original sound. I thought I would be able to add some music and lower the original soundtrack at certain points, letting it fade in and fade out, allowing for the original audio to play through and along with the music. I am pretty dissapointed right now and need some answers. Also what happened to the moving menus? I am confused with the templates as well... begininng, middle end or complete. Is that instead of moving menus? Can I not make a moving thumbnail menu with music and chapters?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been creating a project for some time which contains a lot of video clips.Every now and then I position the 'scrubber' mid way along and click on the 'play' button to check what the effect is at the place I am editing.
Today after adding some more video clips to the end of the project and editing them when I place the 'scrubber' where the clips are that I have been editing and click on 'play' to see the effect instead of VS 'paying' my video from the position the scrubber was placed at it moves the scrubber to the start of the project and plays from the beginning. It was not doing that yesterday (I have added some more clips to the end of the project since then and editing them).This is VERY annoying as I cannot check to see what parts of the movie (project) look like without playing from the start of the project (30 minutes in length).
I download avi files and then edit them in Videostudio X4. THe avi's are always from different resolutions and framerate.
When i play the converted or edited avi files on my mediaplayer on a Widescreen tv then the video is played may time not full screen. Sometimes it is on top and sides filled with black borders.
I would like the video's always be full screen on tv (off course with good quality).
My question is: how can i see in Videostudio if the video can be played full screen on tv?
Let's say i have 2 video's: divx / xvid 576 x 320 at 25.000 fpsec and 512 x 384 at 188.900 at 25.000 frames per second. Would these files be played full screen on the tv?. How can i calculate that it is 4:3 or 16:9 and what must the preference be in Video studio itself: 16:9 or 4:3?
I'm trying to create a blu-ray movie that contains AVCHD videos of various vacations that I've been on over the past year (just your typical collection of home movies), but I've had problem after problem in trying to create the damn thing. I've used VS Pro X4 to create four individual movies (representing four different vacations, each saved as vsp files); I then created my "menu file" to compile all four movies into a single blu-ray with each one having menu buttons that then go to chapter sections. Then, due to VSX4 never completing a successful burn, I simply had it create the Blu-Ray folders and then used ImgBurn to burn them to disc.
ANYWAYS, what kind of project settings do I need to be using in VS? I will be playing the disc in a PS3 (not sure if that matters as opposed to a regular BD player). I finally managed to produce a successful burn, but it was only able to play once in my PS3 - for some reason after it initially played fine, it wouldn't play again even though there was no damage to the disc. The disc was a BD-RE DL by Maxell. I had previously tried BD-DL Verbatim discs, but I was never able to finish a burn with those.
I'm just trying to figure out why I'm having so much trouble getting my movie from my computer to a playable disc!! Dx

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I run my project with sound on, those clips shot with a HDV camcorder do not play the sync-sound recorded on them properly. I know that the sound recorded with the clops is perfectly alright as it plays properly when each clip is run individually. when they are run as a part of the whole in the project mode all I get is an unintelligible beating sound. I also have clips in the project that were shot with a DV camcorder and the sync-sound with them plays perfectly alright in any mode. I am unable to find any mention of sync-sound in Corel's user guide and am at a loss of what to do to make the sync-sound play correctly. I haven't attempted to lay my sound-track for the project yet.
