VideoStudio :: Sounds Disappear When Import Movie To Timeline
Dec 14, 2013
I am completely new to movie editing of any sort and Corel VS x6 Ultimate is my first dipping of my toes so to speak.
When I import a movie into the timeline, the sound from that movie plays for approximately the first 2-4 minutes, and then cuts out. When looking at the sound mixer in the timeline, I can see where the wave simply cuts out at a point between 2 - 4 minutes (the actual time varies for each movie but it is within that 2-4 minutes bracket for all).
I have imported several movies and it is the same for each of them. The only time it doesn't happen is if the imported film itself is only of short duration (3-4 minutes). The other movies all are of approximately 10 minutes duration.
Is there a limit to how long a movie must be when importing to VS? If so, it seems awfully short?
The movies are game recordings made in game using Nvidia Shadow play. All of them play perfectly fine in an actual movie player with the full recorded sound throughout.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the VS software to no avail. I'd really lik to edit the raw footage from the games to make some nice edited movies (figured I would use these game movies to learn the VS software).
I've failed to get any sounds out of my version on my desktop even after uninstalling/reinstalling?? I have a version working well on my laptop. What can be the problem? It is a 'trial' version but I have paid for it and have a key but it doesn't seem to want me to enter it and there's no 'buy now' on drop-down menu in 'preferences'.
I have a question regarding Smart Sounds. Video Studio Pro3X had a "library" of smart sounds that allowed one to create music clips to match video duration. When I installed X4, I noticed the auto music function was not enabled. I also discovered that when smart sounds 5 tried to update in X3 that it maintained that it could not find the source file.
My new Pro X6 doesn't show me the Smart Sounds. You can't klick something in the smartsound window! I also have installed Pro X4, and here I have all smartsounds!
I have a 1 hour long project. Nothing too complicated. There are about 20 smart sound clips, no clip longer than about 4 minutes. If I disable the Smart Sound track, the project renders correctly. If I enable the smart sound track, I get a crash at about 95% along the render. If I select smaller portions of the project, say 15 minutes of it. It might render. Sometimes yes, some times a crash at 95%. what I can do to fix the crashing with smart sounds?
Note, same project on two different machines acts the same way. Reseting VS X6SP1 didn't change a thing.
I have some very long movies and want to insert some short parts of it in the timeline.So i open the movie in the footage panel mark in and out point and press ovelay insert to insert this part in the timeline.Next time i open the same movie in the footage panel to mark the next part i want to insert in the timeleine, my timeline playhead jumps to the time where my playhead of the footage panel is in this clip. is it possible to unlink the footage panel and the Timeline?
I've seen a few references to this in the boards. The sound is like "bleeps" or "heartbeats" only when playing the project. To hear the normal sound, you have to play the file. But if you have an overlay track, this makes it impossible to see how the main track and the overlay track look together while listening to the sound.
One recommended "solution" says to look at a particular youtube video (link provided), which I did. I thought it would provide a solution, but all it is is a demonstration of the problem.
Some say to re-install x3 without the service pack. It seems to me I was having this problem before I downloaded the Service Pack, and I hoped the Service Pack would FIX this problem. That makes me doubtful that the suggested re-install of x3 without the service pack will resolve the problem. And doesn't the Service Pack have other important features that would be missing without it? It's hard to believe the only component to the Service Pack was to screw up the audio.
Furthermore, uninstalling x3 and re-installing it looks like a very long and complicated process. I don't understand why, if Corel is aware of the problem, they don't provide a patch or update that fixes it. Why is it left to the presumably tens of thousands of users to each go through the difficult uninstall and reinstall process?
Do I have to invest in x4 to resolve the problem? I'm very bothered by that. Is there any guarantee that x4 doesn't have the same problem? Corel is aware of a problem with x3 and their response is to shell out another $50 to $99 to fix it? How do I know that x4 doesn't have a major problem that when Corel becomes aware of it, their answer will be to pay yet another $50 to $99 to buy x5?
I would like to save my movies as WMV files at a size of 640x480 . I found a template in the movie templates manager that has the size , however try as I might I cannot get to save the file at around 500mb's . it keeps saving the file at around 120 mbs how to adjust the save file size
I have not renamed or moved original elements, yet when I recently opened an on-going project in Photoshop Elements 4.0, about 1/4 of the media elements were gone. Why? Is there a way to troubleshoot this? Anyway to recover these slides? Can't see that any photos, etc in the Organizer have broken links.
In VideoStudio Pro 4, I was able to modify the proportions of my movie : stretched it or squeeze it, in or out of proportion. I can't seem to do this in Video Studio Pro 5. A strategic admittance to promote the next "Hyper Super Ultimate" 6th version 6 ?
At the EDIT step, the voice level of each HD clip is in reasonable level, but during playback of the entire project the voice level droped down. Also after rendering the voice level is still low. On the other side, the voice level of imported music from audio CD doesn't changed. Is it suppose to be so? I am using the Pro X4 program.
I have a sequence of still jpgs I rendered out of Maya. There are 90 total. I want to throw them into the editor at 30fps and have them be in order. I have tried simply copying them all and dragging them all at once onto the timeline but that leave each image at 3-4 seconds per image and they are not in order.
I know there is other software I could use to do this but since I'll be editing the video in Video Studio I thought it would be nice to be able to do this inside of it. Is this possible with Video Studio?
I made a new template for creating a 30Mb/s "one keyframe/frame" MOV output content which worked well when set via custom settings. When I wanted to use my template in the "create video file" prompt, my VSX3 "needed to stop" ...and I was asked to send the .DMP file to Corel tech support. VS restarted OK, but once I selected "create video file", same story: stop.
Trying to delete form the movie template manager, same story: stop. Changing the settings to lower performance MOV in the temlate manager worked, but still same result when trying"create video file". Couldn't wait for the Corel support. Full reinstall solved the problem.
I'm trying to remove a watermark in an old movie made of my son in high school (about 8 yrs old), by a friend of his. It's right in the middle of the screen in bright red. They didn't care about it back then as it allowed them to format their movie online. Before I put this very short clip in my memorial video I want to clear that out. Don't know what original software was used. My son's friend can't remember either. Does Videostudio have a way to fix this?
How do you burn a movie to a dvd disc? I created my movie, then clicked share tab. DVD factory 2010 opened up and I created my menu. After 3 hours of converting file the burn said failed with no explaination. So I then made a file of the movie. Opened vs3 again and tried to burn the saved file which was an mpg format to disc. The program doesn't recognize mpg files only vsp files. The program made the mpg file. So how do I burn the mpg file to disc?
Using Video Studio Pro X5, I edited a home video and saved my project into vsp file. When I previewed the video, it looked fine. I clicked Share, Create Disc, chose DVD, click Next, Next, Output, chose Create to Disc, and clicked Burn icon at the bottom right. It rendered for a while and completed.
When I played the DVD, the movie loops (meaning it played to the end of 15-minute video clip and did not stop, it went back to the beginning and played again and again)
I have been happily using this program for a few weeks and have nice movies and view well on PC. Only problem I find is being able to save a Movie to dvd to play on a dvd player. The only way I can do it is to save the movie as a video file and then burn to disc using Windows DVD Maker. As far as I can see I have tried all options on Video Studio, and have had no success at all.
I can successfully output an .mpg file for a Windows 7 laptop attached to a LG BX324 Projector [URL]
I use Share | Create Video File | HDV | HDV 1080i 50i for HDV option to achieve this.
I would like to output a movie suitable for an Apple Computer, in frame height 1080 x 1440, as this presentation is for a lecture theatre.
Currently, I do not have access to this Apple computer. I am trying to play a movie generated by Video Studio on my Win 7 PC using my Windows QuickTime Player 7.7.1.
May I ask, is this the way I can test if I can successfully generate a movie suitable for an Apple computer using my Win7 PC?
I've been stumbling around with the share options, but all I seem to be generating is movies of a small size e.g 576 x 720.
Which Share settings should I be using for movie of 1080 x 1440?
I edited some video for my daughter's drama class and burned a disk for her. When my daughter presented for the class on her teacher's computer there was text covering the video that seemingly had nothing to do with the video. I can't reproduce it and I don't even know what kind of system the teacher uses, but is there some trick to burning a disk so that it displays the same on anything and everything?
I have a number of panoramic images that I'd like to add to a movie with videostudio but I can't seem to figure out how to pan them properly... the images are long and narrow (as would be expected). is there any way that I can use them with out have a big black boarder top and bottom?
I have tried burning a Blu-ray disk using Movie Fatory 7 without any success. First of all I tried to burn an mpeg file to the disk (File Format not supported message in DVD Movie Factory), then in VS4 I tried "create video file" as a blu-ray format PAL Mpeg2 1920x1080 in VS4 - then went to "Create Disc" opened DVD Movie Factory 7 and selected BluRay, (File Format not supported message in DVD Movie Factory), so then I searched these forums and found that it looked like I should create a AVCHD file format in VS4 PAL HD 1920, so I did that and then went to "Create Disc" and got the same error message that file is not supported.
How do I create a BluRay disc that will play in a bluray machine? I have bought blank BluRay discs, but Movie Factory won't burn my file formats?
It is always a pleasure as well as informative experience. My question is simple I would like to incorporate a Powerpoint presentation to my video project. Is this possible? If so how would I go about uploading the PP files to Video Studio Pro x4? Or even better Is there any way for me to create Power point like video screens with Video Studio Pro x4 editing or templates?
I cannot fade out the sound at the end of my movie.
I have just bought VideoStudio X5 and added the SP1. On my first try, I have added a MP3 file on my silent movie, on the music track.
On this track, I have shortened the music to the end of the movie and with the sound properties panel displayed, I have click the fadeout button which is now on. But when I test my movie or when I generate a video file, the music doesn't fade out and stops suddenly at the end of the movie.
The movie clips in my "project" are not playing the audio. Yes, volume is on and I have ensured that the volume is all the way up and that the "mute" option has not been selected. Screen cap is attached of the video tab.
When I click on the individual "clip" the sound works no problem. The other audio files are also working no problem.
I should mention that the original file was an IFO file from a Sony Handicam that I converted to AVI which I dragged into the program.
I bought the new Olympus TG-1 camera, and want to edit movies that I shoot so I downloaded trial of latest Video Studio Pro X5 to try it out. But I'm not satisfied with the quality of the rendered file. The result is not smooth. For example, I shot a short movie clip out of the window of a slow moving train. When I play the original file everything is nice and smooth, but when I import the file to Video Studio and render it (without doing anything to it, no effects or anything) the result is a stuttering movie - kind of like some frames are missing, or maybe duplicated... (Sound is just as it should, no problem there.)
Source file is .MOV (quick time) 24bits 1920x1080, 29.970 frames/sec according to file properties in Video Studio. Using GSpot i get the following: codec avc1, name H.264, 19641 kbps, 29.971 frames/sec
I've tried every format under "create video file" in Video Studio but the result is the same every time no matter what I do, although the option "Same as first video clip" is not available (it's dimmed when using clip shot with this camera). My system is PAL and I know that 29.97 fps is not PAL standard, but I also tried rendering custom format where the result was a 720x576 clip with 29.971fps (but kpbs is only 1024) but still the same stuttering movie.
With prior versions of VideoStudeo I could create a movie and write it to a folder instead of a desk. I used this to preview movies before burning them. How to do this in X3. Neither DVD Factory nor Burn have this option.
