Have just started working on VS and discovered a strange issue. I can put a piece of video in the clip window to mark in/out points and it plays fine. When I drag it to the timeline and play as a clip, there is no audio!
View 1 RepliesI am a long time Pinnacle Studio user trying out the demo for VS6 Pro. Is there a way to adjust the volume at a point in the project so that the audio to the right follows the volume setting, including all the clips to the right of the edit point? I like to bring down the audio for a good portion of the project then bring it back up etc. It would be very time consuming to have to do this for each clip.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've have saved a video/photo project that also has several audio tracks. These tracks all seem to be at different audio levels. Is there an easy way of adjusting them all so they will play at similar level ? Or do I have to go into each one and rely on my ears to get them to sound about the same?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying out Corel VideoStudio Pro X4,when i insert different clips into the timeline, as the project plays the audio doesn't start instantly, and there's almost like a 1sec delay before the audio appears.
I seen that there was audio fade in/out options, which can be set to 1-999 (but no 0)
why my audio level in my clips diminishes when imported into X4? The level is fine when the un-edited clip is viewed in Windows Media Player but is significantly lower in X4 when viewed in "Clip Mode" and even lower in "Project Mode".
I've raised the audio level as high as 500% but it's just not the same level and quality as actually recorded.
I've attached the properties from a short clip.
I've been using WMM for all my productions and have had problems currently. With the importing of clips, audio and burning of DVD's. When I first started making home movies I dabbled in the VideoStudio Pro x3 and thought it was too complicated. Now I'm wanting something more and have decided to try and use it.
So here's the question. I notice that I do not have the Burn option on my menu. Again this program came on the computer when I purchased in 2011. I'm running an HP Laptop with Windows 7 premium vista if that sounds correct. Not too savy on computers but learn as I go. Wondering if this program is a scaled down version of the StudioVideo Pro x3 and have to add that feature somehow.
I have purchase VideoStudio Pro X4 and in the sound library there are only 2 sound clips to choose from!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just created a project with many different clips. Some of them play perfectly while others are jerky in playback. The original videos were imported to Correl from video files downloaded from the internet. Some of them are MPEG and others are AVI. It seems that the MPEG files play fine while the AVI files are slow. Not sure why this is since I created another very similar project and the AVI files in that project played back fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedProblem I was having was using clips of various sizes and properties in the same project. Original entry follows below.
I have a new system (see my profile) that I think should work with Pro X4 just great.
However, I had some AVI videos I tried to edit. I could not get frame resolution in the time line, as I remembered getting with older Corel products editing MPEG files.
Nevertheless, I was able to edit AVI and get good results as long as the AVI files did not have sound. When I tried to edit AVI with sound, preview was unusable. The transitions got lost during the preview, and the sound dropped out around cuts and splices and transitions.
Needless to say, editing did not go well without a decent preview. Are these artifacts of trying to edit AVI files, or is there something else amiss? Should I be capturing in MPEG or some format other than AVI?
The following settings seemed to get the best preview results, but I still had sound drop outs around cuts, splices, and transitions (which are splices). I expected the sound to x-fade around transitions.
NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Upper Field First
(DVD-NTSC), 16:9
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 6000 kbps)
Audio data rate: 384 kbps
Dolby Digital Audio, 48 KHz, 3/2(L,C,R,SL,SR)
I set the project to MPEG, even though the source was AVI, because it seemed to improve the preview response time a bit, but not enough to make a real difference.
By the way, i use it for a whole week, and it worked just fine, until today i have this problem.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using VideoStudio v11. I have a long section of video which is of someone making a speech. I want to insert some cut-aways into the sequence, whilst obviously retaining the audio running sequence.
I have split the audio from the video track, but I can't seem to figure out how to remove a section of the video and replace it exactly with a cut-away section of video. I need to keep the video and audio in sync. Maybe I am going about it wrong and don't need to split the audio off - but then how would I insert just a clip of video without disturbing the audio.
I have a project with dozens of clips. Is there any way to mute or split audio for all or multiple clips rather than doing it for one clip at a time?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to integrate 16:9 HD video clips into a 4:3 project (or vica versa). Obviously it will take cropping the edges but how? VS does not appear to be up to the task that I can figure. Maybe a third party utility?
View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically, I want to use part/pieces of several project files already created, i.e. to combine the chosen sections into one new project file. Have looked in the Manual and cannot locate the answer! I am now using Prox5.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a project that pulls together many short clips from many much longer video files e.g. there might be less than a minute pulled from a 60 minute file then another then another etc. I found that my computer (which is reasonably beefy) was struggling to cope with the workload so I split the project into separate project files i.e. Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. My thinking was that once I had done all the editing I could cut and paste all the clips into a single new project file before rendering the entire thing. But I can't work out how to do it! Sure, I can copy and past individual clips or even a sequence of clips but on pasting they lose all the editing I've done! I just end up with a uniform bunch of unedited clips!
I guess the alternative is to render each project file (1, 2 and 3) separately then pull the rendered videos together into Project 4. I can then render Project 4 to give me my final 'movie'. But surely that means as I've rendered everything twice I'm suffering a quality loss?
So the question is: is there any way of copying edited video clips from one project file into another project file AND retaining all the edits?
I have previously created a project using avi files and successfully burnt a dvd. Now when I reload the project all the AVI clips on the timeline are "unreadable" (black and white horizontal bands) yet they have not been moved from their original folder and all clips are visible on under "video" on the "edit" page. I have even tried relinking but to no avail. All the clips still play perfectly on Media player.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to render a video that is composed of video clips and an .mp3 music file, I'd like to get the finished file into as big of a file as I can. In order to do that, I select the MPEG-4 option. The good news is it typically will result in an approx file size of 250MB for a 2 1/2 minute video, versus 170MB for any other file extension. The bad news is the audio is full of pops and noise. The audio remains fine with any other option other than MPEG-4.
I've tried numerous ways to 'reconstruct' the file...using different audio file extensions (it seems to prefer .wma files but there is a noticeable drop in clarity), rendering the video only then adding the audio file and rendering again...nothing works. I've also tried to modify the rendering options in each video selection that Corel offers (this is in the window that pops up asking for the file name just before you render it), but the audio never gets better.
How can I reduce the audio volume for all the clips in the project? The original sound from the video clips is just ambient noise. I want to reduce it all by the same amount throughout the project, so that the music I put on the music track will be easier to hear, with the ambient noise being only a soft background. I can't find any control that lets me change the volume for all clips at once, and the documentation isn't very clear.

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 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.
Audio in clips (video or audio) plays but will not play in project preview or in created video files or DVDs.
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)

I have not deliberately set any of the properties manually and they seem correct for my usage.

In the UK using Pal.

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 am not new to this software and have made many videos. The problem is that I got a new computer with Windows 8 and installed X4 VideoStudio. I can hear the sound file when I select the clip but as soon as I select Project, there is no sound. I am currently uninstalling the program and trying to reinstall.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I'm trying to create a music video in the latest trial of X5 (with SP1 and latest QT) with not much luck as the audio/video sync keeps changing.
I've imported all my .MOV files into a project library, files ranging from 50mb to 1gb in size.
Clip properties are:
Video Track 1:

From the get-go, when I Preview or Clip trim view any video segment, the audio is slightly out of sync. I've confirmed the original clip file is fine.
Since I am trying to sync only the video portion of the clip to a pre-recorded audio file I went ahead and lined up a few video clips with the audio file and it see if it would export in in sync but no such luck. Even after synching my video to my pre-recorded audio, the export is out of synch.
X5 looks like a decent program but if I can't even preview my clips with a good audio synch I think this X5 is tremendously flawed.
Just upgraded from X3 to X4 - created first project and as soon as I started trimming the video, I noticed that when I scrubbed through the project, there was no sound! I then tried scrubbing each clip, and that worked, then I tried scrubbing the project again, still no sound - tried clip on timeline and now no sound there also.
Threw out the clip, deleted the project and started over - same thing happened - audio dropped out as soon as I started cutting down the clip on the timeline.
Took exact same clip (simple .avi file) into X3 and works fine. Cutting it and editing it to hearts content, sound works fine in X3. Started over again in X4 - audio drops out AGAIN!
ZERO sound issues in any other program I have been using. Audio works fine in all other applications, except X4.
Yes "enable audio on scrubbing" is on - the audio is disappearing entirely from the clip. No audio on any form of playback as soon as I edit the clip on the timeline.
I have been playing with various clips and it seems X4 only does this on certain clips - namely the ones I have converted from .FlV to AVI - BUT, X3 handles them ALL fine!
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.
