VideoStudio :: When Produce MP4 In X4 It Shows Thumbnail In Video File
Feb 2, 2012
When I produce a MP4 video file in X4 it shows a thumbnail in the video file. I cannot figure out where this image comes from. It seems sometime to be the first video image from all tracks, but sometimes it is just the upper video track and sometimes it is a picture from a later point of the video. How does it work? And how can I control which image is used?
I would like to produce high quality video files from VideoStudio X4. I can produce MP4 files 1280*720 (16:9), 25 FPS, but how do i produce similar quality (and aspect ratio) in FLV format?
How does one change the thumbnail for a video clip? By default, VS Pro X3 seems to use the first frame of the clip. I would like to choose the frame. Is that possible in VS?
Is there a way to show more than just one thumbnail from a given clip when inserted into the video track? Currently in VS X4 I get just a thumbnail at the start of the clip and a blue bar after that. In Microsoft Movie Maker by comparison you get thumbnail after thumbnail from the various frames within the clip, I also see in one of Trevor's tutorials (bottom of the page) URL.... there's thumbnails galore but he may be using images rather than a video clip.
Video type: MPEG-2 Video, Upper Field First Total frames: 7,932 frame(s) Attributes: 24 bits, 1920 x 1080, 16:9 Frame rate: 25.000 frames/sec Data rate: 100000 kbps
I downloaded a video and at the bottom is a crawler(bar at the bottom that shows sports scores). I want to crop this off-is there a way to perform this function? I saw the cropping FAQ but couldn't find how to crop the bottom. I am using VS X2.
The organizer in my PSPX5 U only shows video files, AVI, MOV, etc. I will not display JPG or other still image formats. I also have VideoStudio X5 U installed. I removed PSPX4 where the organizer worked properly. I cannot find a setting to disable or activate a file extension other than in the Preferences, where there is no mention of a video format.
I have a several dozen shots, Quicktime ProRes 422 HQ. When I try to import them into Premiere CS6 all the arrives in the bin is the audio of the clips. The video has been stripped. But if I play the clips outside Premiere - just double click them open and play them with Windows Media Player, they play fine.
I'm not having trouble with any other formats.
Just the ProRes. And I must have the necessary Quicktime ProRes plug-in installed, as the individual clips open and play fine.
I am not able to save the changes that I make to the starting position of my scenes thumbnails when I use a Thumbnail Menu to create my DVD. I am using Video Studio X4 with Service Packs 1 and 2 installed running on Windows XP Home, SP 2 with all updates installed and DirectX 9.0. The scene changes work fine when I Preview them but they are not saved when I close the Create Disk sub-menu. When I return to the “Menu and Preview” section of the Create Disk sub-menu, the Main Menu scene change is present as is the Chapter 1 scene change but the other chapter scene changes are gone. What can I do to correct this?
I recently purchased Video Studio Pro X3 - and after going through the knowledge base and product read me, I have been unable to find an answer to the following problem I have:
PROBLEM:
I have a number of videos (HD 1080p) that I have recorded. Each video is on average 50 minutes in length - what I want to do it to be able to do is to slice this video into 10 x 5 minute videos (based on topics discussed in the video), (so essentially clip the video into these segments and edit each one) and then when producing the video file - actually create 10 separate video files (all with editing in place) instead of one single large file.
As far as I have been able to work out, I need to go through the whole file, clip relevant sections, edit them, and then save project. I then need to go trim the saved file 10 times, to extract each time the single 5 minute video I want to create. This is a fairly manual and time consuming process, hence my hope that I can create 10 files based on the clips I have made in the larger 50 minute file in one go.
as I have 30 videos to edit, so looking for ways to save time!
In Microsoft windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit when PDF is created in Coreldraw X6 64 bit PDF Icon dont shows Thumbnail on Desktop. I can see the thumbnails from other's PDF
The Organizer thumbnails is showing broken images for some pictures, but when I look at the pictures using Windows Explorer or any other photo editing program, they are fine. I've already tried right-clicking the image and clicking "Update Thumbnail". How can I fix the thumbnails?
My L 4 Library suddenly shows only the first thumbnail in a catalog. All the rest of the thumbnail windows are grey. Only thr last import sghows the full catalog.
I was wondering, after I make a walkthrough in Revit, Is there a way that I can produce the walk-through into a video which I can open separately (like with windows media player rather than through Revit). If so, how?
I wanted to give a little presentation of the building I had created by showing people a walkthrough of the model, however I thought it would look unprofessional if I have to present it within Revit.
I’ve just produced a short video, intended for Youtube, but in the ‘Share – create video file’ step can find no options to produce an mp4 file in 16:9. My preferences were set to 16:9 right from the start and all the material is either originally 16:9 or cropped to 16:9, so it would be nice to produce the video as 16:9. I tried a few other file type options that I thought might be suitable for uploading but can’t find anything on offer that would produce a small file size in 16:9.
My latest problem is file formats! I have two cameras, one of which produces .AVI video format. I have found that Corel does not "read" this format - or am I wrong? I am working from a card reader. I have succeeded in using the latter files in VS but only by converting to MP3. I don't want to part with this very handy camera so am I missing something in that perhaps I can change some setting to enable Corel to recognise .AVI files? I don't want to have to use the editing suite which came with my Traveller camera. I have found it is easy to load via Picasa - which accepts many formats - but it's when I come to insert media file to the VS library that the trouble starts - obviously because the files are .AVI.
I recently purchased Corel Video Studio Pro X6. So far it has worked great except for one issue. When using it to make DVD's, the file take up far more room than the actual file size is.
I've converted old VHS tapes to .mpg files and I planned on using Corel to create DVD's, with menus, for my family. I ran into the issue of the files being far too big, so after some research I discovered that .mpg files were not size efficient. I then used Corel to convert them to .mp4 files. So now, for example, a file that was 1.06GB (.mpg) is no 70.7MB (.mp4). So on disc the files are considerably smaller, with little to no video/audio loss. But, once I opened up Corel and started a new project and tried to use the new smaller files they still take up just about the same amount of space on the DVD's. On my HDD all of the converted files take up the same amount of disc space as just a few of the original files. Yet on the DVD I can still only fit 3-4 videos.
I just downloaded/installed Video Studio X4 Pro. Quite impressive. I've been using Roxio but too many problems so wanted to see if Corel is better. Have a minor problem that I haven't been able to solve. Background: I have 16 individual videos of foreign "soap operas" (all approx 3.7gb). All videos are either mpeg2 or avi. I copied all of them with no problem. Then, I wanted to eliminate some useless things at the beginning and end of each one. I went into a video editing program and trimmed approx 5 secs from the beginning and end of each video. After the trimming, I saved the videos to my hard drive in the My Videos folder in the Libraries. Then, because of some difficulties with Roxio, I decided to try Corel.
When I import a video, click on Tools, Create Disc, DVD, unmark Menu, then Burn, I always get the error telling me the total size is larger than the chosen project. This is what I don't understand. If the video, which is approx. 3.7gb,and I'm using a 4.7gb dvd, why am I getting this error? FYI: I went ahead and clicked on Yes, try to fit to disc, and after approximately 45 mins, it completed, ejected the disc and all I had was approx. 1/8" burn area. The properties of that disc showed it was a video.ts and when I clicked on it, the windows player opened and said can't be rendered. I don't under stand why X$ Pro says a 3.7gb video is over 7gb.
So like many new videographers is am shooting with the 5d markII which obviously shoots in HD.
However i cant seem to export my HD file out of VideoStudio.
When i drag the clip onto the timeline and right click on the clip and go to properties it says it is in 1920x1080. However when i go to create a video file ans click same as video settings it exports it to 720x480 at 29.97 frames per second. And the video was shot at 24fps.
So..
a) i don't understand why it is exporting it to totally different specs that what the project really is?
b) how to i export to an mpeg file that is 1920x1080 from VideoStudio.
I'm trying to use VideoStudio X2 to burn to DVD a file that I’ve downloaded to my laptop from my hard disk set top box . When I play the file in VideoStudio it's silent (whether or not I’ve added it to the timeline). However when I view the file (a .ts ) in Windows Media Player it has sound.
If I view other .ts video files in VideoStudio they do have sound, which suggests the sound for my laptop and VideoStudio aren't completely muted.I've attached a screen shot that shows the audio file properties as well as other settings.

I'm using Corel Videostudio Pro X5 and have been filmimg in ACVHD.MTS format this year for the first time on motorsport events, I've edited all my 2013 footage and all is looking great.and now i want to save the footage into a file on my PC to upload into Sony DVD Architect to make a quality DVD production.
I have done this routine with my SD footage for several years and had no issues at all and created some great DVDs but now i'm using HD footage i'm getting lost with all the video formats that are available.
Basically which is the best format to save my video file onto my PC before i upload it into Sony DVD Architect? I tried the first option HDV which looked great and a reasonable file size but then it started to flicker and freeze during play back on my PC.
Also, even though i've been filming in HD i still only want to make a standard DVD because i share my work with friends who do not have Bluray players, will this be an issue since i have filmed in HD all year? All i after after really is the best quality footage i can produce for my DVD.
Importing VHS tapes to VideoStudio Pro X2 produces a video file and a .upd file with the same number. As I intend to store these files on my external Seagate HDD would it be permissible to rename them to correspond to each VHS tape? At the moment I've just placed the two files in a folder and named it eg: VHSTape_1, VHSTape_2 etc. Are the .upd files really necessary?
A friend of mine shot some video with his JVC everio on 1/8/11.The native files PLAY fine in VS3 however any attempt to convert to any output video file or just output the audio track (which is what I really want to do) results in random audio "skips" like what happened when an LP had a scratch and a stylus couldn't play it.I have VS SP2 installed along with the audio patch on the Corel site.
I've successfully exported the MOD files to other formats using a freeware program called Video Pad from nchsoftware.com, so I can only assume VS has a problem.
I thought before I downloaded that MOD file converter, that's been discussed here, I would ask.Seems that a PAYware software like VS, shouldn't have this problem.Prior to using MOD files, I used AVI files in VS and exporting to an audio file worked just peachy.
I have added a video file to my timeline and then chosen share dvd. I then added chapters and chose a menu (tried several) and then selected Burn to folder and normalize audio but just NOTHING happens after 3% (which appears immediately) have tried different videos and menus - none get processed. The CPU runs at 100% BTW I am processing thi on my laptop Win 7 (32 bit) Toshiba with 3 GB RAM and a IGB GPU so do not go by my profile
I have a previous version of VS and that works just fine. yes I uninstalled theat entirely and then decided to try VS 14
Video Studio Pro X5: I've saved a project with several clips and then tried to "Share" the video using Create Video File. After I get to the Save screen and click Save with a filename, nothing happens - it does not start rendering and no file is saved. But then I saved a short clip from the same file as a separate Project File, and I was able to create a video file or the short clip.
What would cause Share not to be able to create a Video File from a Project File?
I've been editing with no problems for a while now but every time I try to share/create a video file it fails every time at 95%. I'm assuming it must be something specific for it to fail every time at the same point and i've tried it in multiple formats but always with the same result
I new to VS X5 Pro. I have a very basic question, I'm sure.... Is it possible to not have the computer file name of the video appear at the bottom of the video for the first few seconds? It does fade away but is not acceptable to be there at all. Is this a Windows 7 config issue or something in VS?
I have this .avi file that I imported from a mini-DV tape through 1394 cable onto my computer. I opened this video file in the program, and I want to extract the audio file from it, but the "create sound file" command is unclickable. What should I do to get the audio extracted from my avi video file?
I captured approximately 1 hour DV file contained different scenes from different places. Now, I would like split this file for smaller parts and save them as a separate .avi files.
Is this possible to do this by VSX3 (e.g. cut or multitrim on timeline and save to separate folder each pieces?
If X3 cannot do this, what software you can recommend for relatively easy and quick multi-split, without loose quality?
My video is only for keepsakes of family and friends. I use VS X2 to create short movies. Once I create the movie I want to save it in a file of the highest quality given the camera it came out of. Would I get the best quality file by selecting Share-Create Video File- Same as First Video Clip? Once the movie is saved I wanted to delete the original video clips and the then useless .VSP file used to make the movie.
My thinking is that I do not want to keep all the video clips forever. Many of them are just no good. I use the best of what I shoot and put that into a movie. If I take this approach, will I be able to use movies saved as above to create a new production in the future? For example, create a compilation movie of my son in 2nd grade from the many shorter movies I took throughout the year. Would this compilation movie have the same quality as that created from the original video clips from the camera?
This is just a hobby for me and I don’t want to become buried under a mountain of video files that I will never use and eat up storage space on the PC.
