I want to butt two films together (which were made separately and titled separately) and currently still exist as project files within the suite and turn them into ONE film with some small further editing.
when producing quiet long films (e.g. 2 hours), is it better to split it into e.g 3 individual projects, or is it better to work on it as one?This, because I want to avoid the loss of data or already produced sequences, if one project is getting to big.
I have been using Photoshop for over 4 years now and only recently have I been faced with something I wanted to do but dont know how to do: editing 2 layers at once.
I understand you can put 2 layers in a set or use the layer link option in the layers pallete, to essentially move 2 layers around the workspace at once. However, what is the solution for applying blur/dodge/burn/smudge type effects but having it take effect on 2 seperate layers.
I know that I could merge them together and this problem would be circumvented entirely but thats not what I want. I sitll want to have them seperate, once Im done. I also know there is a long process I could do of saving the selection of one layer, merging it with the other layer, applying changes and then using the saved selection to extract the content back onto a seperate layer again.
Situation: I have three interviews, edited in each their project file in X5. Now I need to combine them in one project, from where I will add news stuff and edit existing stuff.
How do I merge the files into one project file which is still fully editable - for every element in the whole timeline?
Sure I can create a new project file and import the .VPS-files, but the three interviews will then show us as non-editable blocks.
Have been working within a new layout. Inserted border & titleblocks. Then I created several viewports and established those views. Some how now all items created on the border layer [borders/titleblocks] do not display. They do how ever plot and preview. Did i enter into some editting mode to just viewport? How do I restore?
I'm using Illustrator CS6, Windows 7, Intel(R)Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @3.40GHz, 16GB RAM, 64 bit operating system. I use the pattern editing feature a lot, and recently it's starting crashing, usually when I try to save after editing in the pattern mode (it's only just started doing this). I don't know why it's started doing this, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the complexity of the pattern.
Ever requested multi-image editing capabilities which would allow you to see more than one graphic (full size) on the screen at once? I'm constantly editing multiple graphics at once (often copy/paste into one or the other), or comparing two graphics side by side, and I REALLY miss this interface from the old version of Paint Shop Pro. (Not the new, devil version of PSP by that spyware bloatware peddling "Corel" company, I mean real PSP (version 5 or so), by JASC. Corel ruined that program! )
Example:
If this is possible to do in Paint.NET easily, another thing would be to provide a way to auto-layout multiple open image windows (attempt to arrange all open windows so that each image is fully visible with no window overlaps).
Using the editing "Guided" mode of Photoshop Elements 11 the working progress line hangs at 75% and Guided mode not works ! The "Quick" and "Expert" mode, instead, working well. I specify that I use Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I don't have Antivirus or Firewall activated..I have already tried to delete all Preferences, all Elements 11 cache folders, etc., tried to uninstall and re-install the Software..
Lightroom is getting hung up when "Preparing file for editing" while trying to edit in external programs. Lightroom 4 did it when I tried to edit in Silver Efex Pro. Now I have a new computer and Lightroom 5. Lightroom 5 just started doing it when trying to edit in Silver Efex Pro AND Photoshop CS5.
We thinking about buying Adobe Premiere Pro for production of movies shown as LED banners on sport arenas. We need to make a customised projects and sequenses where 20 small movies are shown on the screen at the same time. Full screen has a solution on 2560 x 1120 px. Each small movie has a solution on 1280 x 112 px. The 20 movies filles up the total screen. Is this posible and an eacy thing to do in Adobe Premiere Pro?
Are there limits on how long time laps films made in PS6 can be?
I'm trying to create a time laps but PS6 does not include all the images in sequence 0001 to 1360? It simply creates a movie in 27 seconds and cuts out the 400 latest pictures!
PhotoPAINT doesn't cycle through the images of an animation right after creating a new one.
Here are the steps to reproduce:
Create a new image and select, say, 5 frames for the image. Add some imagery to each of the frames (and don't forget to flatten the object hierarchy as PhotoPAINT doesn't deal with graphic objects for animated images.) Open the Film tool window and hit the [Play] button. Result: The image does not get animated.

While creating various circular masks with a radial gradient from white to black, whenever I change the blending mode of the mask path Ai will throw me out of mask mode into layer editing mode. Since this is on a large document of ~2Gb file with multiple artbords for large poster & UI refresh speed is slow, this has become quite frustrating. Is this normal Ai behaviour?
I've been using VS 11.5 Plus for several years with no problem. Recently, I received a new camcorder, a Sony HDR-CX305 which produces .MTS files. I can open the files with VLC and Windows Media Player. For editing in VS, I chose to use proxy files. When I put the files on the timeline and play them in project mode, everything is fine (display & sound). But in clip mode, the clip is played really fast, less than 1 second, which makes difficult the editing.. I tried with smart proxy disabled : same problem.
I have seen others with this problem. I have downloaded all current codecs. I have audio in clip mode but not project mode. All attempts to edit and save file result in no audio.
this is the third version of video studio I have purchased.
Since the AVCHD format is really buggy (try putting text overlays exporting in AVCHD mode--the result is horrendous), what mode actually offers consistent 60fps, if any? Or does Corel not officially support 60fps?
The blu-ray modes will output a file that flipflops back and forth between 30fps and 60fps.
The HDV modes do the same thing.
And since I can't adjust the project properties to ANYTHING HD (they've crippled being able to do that), I can't adjust any sliders, it's all about selecting one of these modes. So which one offers a true 60fps in HD besides AVCHD which is buggy?
All the avi's (divx and xvid codec) that i load and put in the timeline have no sound in project mode. When i make a output file there is also no sound in the .avi. When i select a clip in the timeline there is sound....I Have updated divx and xvid. Using WIndows 7 32 bit pro and Videostudio X4.
I'm looking to upgrade from my copy of Ulead's Media Studio Pro 7. According to the Ulead's web site, "Corel is not planning any future updates to this product" so I'm assuming that Video Studio Pro X4 would be Corel's replacement product.
Media Studio Pro is the FileStrip Mode of the Timeline Display. I'm experimenting with the trial version of Video Studio Pro X4 and I haven't found a way of getting that type of display mode. Is it possible to get the timeline to display such a mode?
X4. I also got the Canon today and was looking at the rendering modes in X4.
Here is my question. I shoot a video in 24fps cinema mode, import it into VSX4, after I edit it and render it will it alter the frame rate and remove the "Hollywood" movie effect of 24fps?
I was in process of editing a block in "block editor" mode. I saved the dwg and exit instead of saving the block, exit block editor and then exit the dwg. When I opened again the dwg what I see on display is just the block. How to close the block and open the entire dwg?
I'm a long time user of Videostudio Pro all the way back to Media Studio Pro 6. I recently purchased VideoStudio Pro X3. I am working with HD video from a Samsung HMX-H200. The MP4 files were moved to my computer directly from the SDHC card. The format of the files is 1080i. I believe the camera records at 60 fps, but in VSP it is reported as 29.97.
The problem is as follows... I can load a clip on the timeline and play it in project mode, but if I try to play it in clip mode, the preview window goes black and stays this way until I press the stop button. Even stranger is I can scrub through the clip just fine in clip mode.
I have tried both SP2 patches. I have applied the latest Direct X updates. I have re-installed VSP. I tried this with Smart Proxy on and off. I've tried several other system wide optimizations like like cleaning the registry. No luck.
I'm trying to convert VHS to DVD. I have VS4Pro and a Hauppauge Collosus capture card and I get the error "unable to switch to cpature mode" when I'm in the capture tab and click capture video. VS4Pro recognizes the card but pops up the error "unable to switch to capture mode". In device manager, the drivers for the card appear to be installed/operating correctly.
I am using VS Pro X4 with Windows 7 home premium, Processor Intel (R) Core (TM) i7 CPU Q820 @ 1.73GHz 1.73 GHz. 8 GB RAM. 64 bit op syst. NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M. Also I am mostly using GoPro 2 Mpeg4 files (which I have updated so I can finally use it in VS) When I am edit mode and click play back to view what I have edited prior to rendering. It often plays ok until it goes from one clip to another then it starts to play jumpy or jerky video including the sound. Which makes it impossible to see how well your edit is. If I leave it for 1/2 hour or so and come back to it, it sometimes plays fine. But then add more clips to the vid or add in a transition or effect it will then play back jerky again.
Using VS X2, There is only black screen when editing sample file or any other video. All load correctly and can be viewed as individual clips but only black screen when playing "project" . Have re-installed program (repair) - no change.
When outputting as an MP4 file, the result is SO ugly, it almost completely destroys any fine detail in the image, and the sound is total garbage (it sounds like a 22k 64kbps mp3, just utter crap), so MP4 is just not an option for me.
Unfortunately, as it has been brought to my attention, Corel doesn't seem to truly support 60fps, even though most new cameras film in 60fps--so when I use the modes that are supposed to be for 60fps, it flipflops back and forth between 30fps and 60fps. I just want an output that's consistent, not this flipflopping garbage. There's ONE mode I can use, AVCHD, that gives me a consistent framerate AS LONG AS I don't put any titles up, and as long as none of the source material is of a resolution different from the main--otherwise it will look like a glitched mess.
Since they've crippled being able to adjust the project properties outside anything DVD quality, I can't really adjust anything.
Is there an output mode that will give me a consistent 30fps that supports 1080p?
X4. I created a 48hz sample rate 24 bit WAV file on my portable Tascam recorder.. I am creating a sales presentation for my invention. I have brought in many different videos I created on my camera and have edited them successfully with single clip and multi clip. Also have been able to split audio out of video. adjust sections using the nodes with the sound mixer.. move audio after split to different areas on the timeline.. However I need to do some voice over work. I figured it would be much easier and better quality for me to use my tascam to create the wav's and then just drop them into the project, edit them and place them where I want them, mute the voice I have on the video..
I was able to bring the .wavs in just fine.. and while editing them in clip mode they play just fine, I can shorten them or cut them where I need too. But when I choose to play back the project with the .wav in one one of the additional sound/music tracks I get very nasty static only. None of my recorded voice is audible. click to clip mode on the wav audio and it plays perfect. I tried moving it to the voice over track area and same exact problem.
am I missing a switch function somewhere? I made sure I muted the video clips above the .wav in the timeline. The manual says to use import option to bring in audio files but I do not see an import button anywhere? missing something? seems to me the drag and drop or add to library a wave file should work.. ??
In VS Pro 4, in edit mode, I get no sound when I play the project but sound is OK when I play the clip. Then if I switch on the sound mixer I get sound when I play the project.
Recently upgraded to X3 despite reservations on the 'Burn' capabilities (see many threads in this forum). Having completed a project I now want to burn a DVD. The options available in X3 do not excite me - it seems that there is a forced exit from X2 into either DVD Factory Pro or DVD MovieFactory 7 SE. Played with these but then breached my low boredom threshold (is it worth persevering with either of them? Both look a bit Mickey-Mouse)
Decided to fire-up my trusty copy of X2 and do the burn in that.
On the first screen I noticed that the 'Next' button is partially obscured by the 'Setting and Options' button. But enough is visible to proceed to next screen. But problem arises on next screen where 'Next' button has now become 'Back' button and 'Next' button is no longer visible. Therefore I can only go backwards but not forwards (a metaphor for life?)
Have tried an uninstall and reinstall of X2 but problem remains exactly the same. Did not have this problem before I installed X3 (on same computer).
Questions:
1. Is there a keyboard shortcut that will take me to the next screen when in Burn mode? 2. Is it worth persevering with either of the burn options in X3 or are both inferior to the X2 burn?
I am working on a new project in X5 and I want to change character size in Title mode. When I click on the box with 30 as default size I get only a white line under this box instead of a box with the different character sizes. IWhen I want to apply animation to the text than I got also a white line under the box where the different types of animation should be shown.
