In the past I've used a Panasonic SDR-S7 video camera which produces MPEG files with no problem.
I now have a Panasonic Lumix still camera which also takes AVCHD video. The individual files play perfectly in VS12, but as soon as I try to play the project to preview it, the picture keeps freezing. I thought this could be due to the new video's being HD but I don't think the individual files could be played either.
I've built a project up with several smaller project file components. It's an easier way to create a video than editing one big project.
Opening the overall project and running it on screen is not a problem. However, when I try to create a smart package of the composite project, I get a consistent error message rejecting the process because of the existence of the component vsp's.
Is there a way to avoid the error and create a smart package from a project file that has smaller component project files?
In VSX4, a particular VSP file is freezing but other VSP’s can be edited without problem.
It freezes during playback of the project, and individual scenes - audio and video. I have deleted individual clips - but it freezes at a different clip or at a different place entirely. I can play the first 17 minutes or so, but then it freezes. If I restart the program and play at any point after the 17 minute mark it freezes, sometimes immediately other times after a few munutes. Even scrolling after the 17 minute mark sometimes triggers it.
The message is: “Corel VS Pro has stopped working”. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
To try and resolve this I have:
Uninstalled and reinstalled VSX4 Pro
Updated to SP2
Updated QT and Direct X
System Restore
Full system scan

I have come across - the 1st time - a series of mpg video clips which, assembled into a project file on a 3rd party usb memory stick, irregularly freezes the preview image and sound while playing, usually in the 1st or 2nd clip in the file. Searching for a reason, I have played the file on two machines across both usb2 and usb3 connections, and using different versions of VS, and the freezing of the play occurs in all of them. At different places in successive events. The same thing happens with individual clips in VS, and individual clips in other video player software like media player and VLC.
I've no reason to believe that the software or even the files are causing this. At least, not yet. The only common element seemed to be the memory stick, so I copied the files from the 3rd party item to one I know is usb3, opened the project file and after re-linking, played it. Same thing happened in the 3rd clip. The results to date suggest that the player software (any of them) in doing the background data load from the memory stick at some point is taking too long, and thus the freeze. Which led me to review the file formats and size.
The freezing files are interesting - mpg format, but way bigger than I had expected for the duration involved. For example, one of the freezing ones is 1min18sec duration and 99,791Kb in size. Compared to a 51sec 22,224Kb file taken on a different camcorder. The duration versus size differences are substantial (for only a 27 sec duration difference the size difference is nearly 5 times), and one wonders why? Both of them loaded into VS show as MPEG-1 format on a right click properties display.
As far as I am aware, mpeg-1 is the same as avi format, and mpeg-2 and mpeg-4 are compressed and thus smaller versions of the same file length without loss of quality. Why mpg file should freeze during play in VS X6, X5, media player and VLC, on a desktop and a separate laptop machine?
Moved Videostudio X4 from a Win 7 machine to a new Win 8 PC.
Again it seems, audio plays fine when playing a clip from the preview window but not when playing on the timeline. (I had a similar problem with X10 and reported it in an older thread.)
Am searching now for more patches (and yes, I'm aware X6 is now the current version) but nothing obvious at the moment. Have found the SP 1/2/3 downloads on Corel's pages, but as it already upgraded to SP3 just after install, I'm guessing SP 1 and 2 are already covered..
I have been doing this project in X5 and was putting a still picture at the end. When I review the project it stops about a second or so from the end. I thought it was the song, so I took that out.
I changed the picture, did the same thing. I lengthen the time on the picture, it will place and stop about the same time from the end. Doesn't matter how long the picture is playing. If I take the picture out, the video just before it plays fine. I put a picture back in, and it does the same thing? I thought the project time may be set someplace? Doesn't seem to matter because I change the timing on the picture at the end. Stops the same place?
Certainly couldn't open an X3 in X4. If I wanted to edit/burn my X4 in the "faster" X5, why should I essentially start from scratch to take advantage of X5?
Project would be SAVED as an X5 project file, of course.
I add a video to the timeline video track (not the overlay track), and with 'clip' selected and playing... I have audio just fine, for the most part... sometimes the audio jumps and skips, and sounds garbled. With 'project' selected and the video playing, either the same thing happens as the 'clip' or there is no audio at all.
What I have discovered, is that this is common with AVI files. Other files, such as WMV, don't seem to have this problem. It affects only AVI files. The video plays just fine in WMP and VLC, as well as other video editors such as PowerDirector... so why dos VideoStudio have this odd sound issue? And I'm sure as Hell not gonna convert all my videos to WMV just to edit them.
This is on a fresh install of VideoStudio Pro X4 (as well as Windows), no updates, no Service Packs, no nothing... even WITH SP1 it's still does it. I've also removed and reinstalled my codec packs (from K-Lite to Shark007) with no difference.
I've also hear that people are now having this issue with VS Pro X3 as well (I have X3 to) so I assume it's pointless to install X3 as well. I really do NOT like using any editing software other than X4, since it's the best one I've used... so I do not want a reason to use something else.
I've recently upgraded the PC and re-installed VS10 onto the new, improved, beast in front of me now, but have hit a hurdle.
Whether I'm looking at an imported project or starting a new one from scratch, I seem not to be able to get the audio tracks to play when playing the project as a whole.
I can select the music track and play it from within the timeline without a problem, but select the project and all I get is the sound of silence.
after scanning and searching the forum I can't find anything that fits my bill so far.
Drivers have been checked and updated where found wanting. I'm at a loss to explain why. I never had this problem back on the old slow-coach...!
For info I'm running Vista on a dual core 2600Ghz machine with Asus P5K Pro 'board (on-board audio) and a GeForce 8600 GTS graphics card.
I'm green with Videostudio as i use pinnacle before.
The version I use is X5, I want to make a very good quality photo album with the videostudio, I want to make the blu ray, what do I need to set before I start the project? What resolution should I set and where can I set? someone said the AVCHD is the same as bluray, I don't know!
I recently upgraded to x6. My question is, there were some hd project templates that came with x3 that id like to use with x6. How to do this, or import or find the files?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to burn my project I have created on VSX4 to a DVD. I don't want to create a menu or add chapters or anything else, I just want to burn my project to the DVD.

Devices:
No special devices just the normal PC setup (using 3 monitors).
Video Studio version:
VSX4 Pro: SP1, SP2 and SP3 added with nothing else added (templates etc).
Source files:
Codecs Note:
I first tried VSX4 with only the codecs on the PC from a new install - that is a total wipe of the two SSD drives in the PC and a reinstall from 'clean' of Windows 8 Pro on the 'c:' main SSD and a new install of VSX4.
The PC then had adobe flash player added - mainly just for 'YouTube', 'DivX' and 'Xilisoft - Video Convertor Platinum' - a package I have used extensively before and along sided VSX4 without issue.
When I found that the audio issue continued I installed the latest available 'K-Lite' package via 'CNet - Downloads'. Throwing codecs at the problem is not necessarily I have used 'K-Lite' on and off for years though and have had no issues from 'K-Lite' (with VSX4).
Regarding .avi:
I am told there are some 800 plus known versions of files that have the .avi extension and this is problematic. However, I have tried many files and converted some to the somewhat 'standard' DivX, Xvid or H.264/MPEG 4 and had no luck thus far!
Have tried various source files from various sources. Have mostly tried .avi (DivX /Xvid) files but have also tried mpeg and mpeg 2. Have tried converting files from one type to other also.
I use the audio as it is per file and have tried splitting the audio and saving it as a .wav directly from VSX4 then using that .wav as a voice or music track. Split audio works in independent player (Windows Media Player) and plays directly in VSX4 as a clip but not when playing the project.
Project Properties:
PAL (25 fps)
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps
Upper Field First
(DVD-PAL), 16:9
I have not deliberately set any of the properties manually and they seem correct for my usage.
PAL or NTSC:
In the UK using Pal.
Error Codes:
None.
Trying to make:
So far just testing VSX4 in Win 8 and looking to make standard DVD of legally acquired old B&W movie(s) or home video only.
Additional:
All my PC drivers are up to date - I check video and audio drivers regularly and run windows update often.
I have .net as standard with Windows 8 but had to install an earlier version as it was reported as required by a game (Lord of the rings online).
End:
I know I have not given precise audio and video data but this is because no matter which video I use the problem is present - I have tried many videos and audio over the last week or so.
I wonder if this is a Windows 8 Pro issue only as when I had the same PC setup with the same VSX4 and the same software previously on Windows 7, VSX4 worked a treat! That is as close to 'same' as is possible - I know Windows 8 is a bit different to Windows 7.
I started a VSX5 project that my friend wanted to piggyback on with his VSX4 software . He tells me that VSX4 opens but nothing seems to happen afterwards. Does it mean that VSX4 is incompatible with VSX5 .vsp file projects ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using my older version of VideoStudio because I don't like the 14 - they switched too many things around.But I am trying to pull up a project that I was working on, and nothing happens. I go File/project and click on the .VSP and nothing happens. I also tried going to the .VSP on my hard drive and selecting "open with / Video Studio" and nothing happens.
This older version and the X14 are not in the same file folder.
Yesterday I re-loaded 11.5 and it worked for a while. I exited over night.Today it stopped fetching project files and NOW, it won't re-install. The disk is configured that it will only re-install twice..
My project is 11-minutes long. There is a lag of around 10-seconds when I am on the timeline and hit <space> or press [>] on the preview control. It wasn't like this when I started the project earlier today.
What can I do to get rid of this lag?
I have in my project a lot of video clip that I did a slip of the audio track.
If I need to delete one clip, by example in the middle of the project, the audio track corresponding is not deleted...and if I delete it manually, all the other audio track at right do not move to the left...so the audio track and the video clip are not sync anymore.
How can I correctly delete a part of my project?
When I try to open a vsp project in X5 using Windows 7 I am getting an error message saying, File is already in use, and a number 15055:1:1. I have been using this computer with X5 and XP professional and it works fine. I have a selection of vsp files that I use as templates, the only time I have had this message before is when I had my template vsp files write protected, which I have stopped doing. I have now installed Windows 7 on this same computer but cant open any of my previous projects. These projects were created using X5.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am playing a section of a project in Timeline view. The section is marked by the Trim Markers. Starts fine but then pauses/stops when it reaches the end of the accompanying music (an mp3) rather than at the second Trim Marker. Theses two points are different because the video fades to black as the music finishes. The video should continue to run for 2 or 3 seconds more with a black screen.
I've noticed that if I select the Sound Mixer and then play the section between the Trim Markers it works fine i.e. plays up to the second Trim Marker.
Also, it seems that if I create a video of the selected part of the project this works fine too.
I just seem to be getting the problem in Timeline view when I have black video that runs after an mp3. I have checked multiple projects where I have the same effect (fade to black as music ends) and I am getting exactly the same problem. As the sound stops, so does the playback.
Background is that I am new to X3 and struggling. I had problems authoring in X3 so used X2,. Then had a problem with X2 so re-installed. Then found this problem when editing again in X3 so reinstalled X3!
I tried to set my project as MPEG4 with resolution 1920x1080 and bitrate 30000 but I can not find how to do it.
Even I set to another format like M2TS it can set to 1920x1080 but the bitrate is only 18000.
I've got a project file that I've been working on for a few weeks. I made a couple of changes to it today and now it will not play through completely. It stalls right at the same spot each time and no matter what I delete in the project (trying to remove the offending element) it still stalls. What I mean by stall is that the player stops and the play button reappears. if I press play again, it plays a few frames and stops.
I'm using VideoStudio 4.
i was work on some project and it's was going well and everything was just fine but then i've saved it and close the program (went to watch tv). after few minutes i've opend the program again but then the sound didnt play with "project" but only when i play the clip alone or in edit sound mode. * when i'm playing the project on "audio" instead of "thumbnail" it's working fine...
i'm using X5
ii've record some of my screen in here: [URL]
I have assembled a project and shortened the sound track in the last segment. How exactly can I fade out that last segment only?

View 1 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 am working on creating a project and it all goes well when I have it in the edit tab. I am able to listen to the audio and watch the video.
When I hit the Share Tab and watch it the audio disappears and I can't hear anything anymore but can still see the picture.
I have split the audio from the video to see if this corrects the problem and it doesn't. I know my microphone is picking up the audio or I wouldn't be able to hear it in the edit tab. I have made several videos before using the program and have never encountered this before.
My VideoStudio Pro X3 crashes every time I run a project. The projects vary in length from 15 seconds to 30 minutes and comprise MP4 files in one and MOV files in another.
