VideoStudio :: X6 SP1 Crashes When Using Smart Sounds?
Dec 2, 2013
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 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'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'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 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 understood that Lightroom does not use smart previews as previews in most cases and still uses previews as before for working on. I normally import as standard previews because this improves speed whilst working on them. I have just ticked the smart preview box for a couple of files that I thought I might want to work on after transferring them to my externsl drive and it crashed when set with standard, OK with minimal, I am now wondering if in fact the smart previews are the previews it works on and that by setting it to standard as well it has confused the program and that is why it crashed, but then why have the option of both or is it simply a computer resources issue trying to create both standard and smart previews.

When I ingest tape, I always turn off as many resources as possible, internet, virus, etc. When capturing with videostudio pro x5, if i select smart proxy prior to capture, i get skips that appear like dropped frames. If i turn off smart proxy, then capture, than start smart proxy queue, all is fine.

Ok, just got and installed the box version of VS X4. Uninstalled the TBYB ver and then installed the boxed full version. It retained all the custom instant projects I downloaded for the TBYB ver and all other downloads. I went through it all to see what content was added and saw a lot of new content.
But when I went to the Disc authoring program I saw only 6 basic and boring menu templates under AVCHD and Blu-ray and only 3 templates under BD-J while all the smart scene menus were found only under DVD?!?
Why are the smart scene menus missing from AVCHD and Blu-ray?
I also find it sad to see the 3D menus in the really bad DVD Factory Pro 2010 not available in X4 but interesting to find the templates in instant projects.... any way of making these DVD menus for AVCHD or Blu-ray?

Using Smart Proxy ,to show the Smart Proxy have been created , a small double icon is placed within the thumbnail in the folder and also in the clip on the timeline . The clips in the project are playing smoothly. But when I close the project and re-open it later on, I notice that the small double icons have disappeared and the clips on the timeline are no longer playing smoothly but jerky.It seems as if they are no longer smart proxy files although they are still in the Smart proxy folder.

How the Smart Sound stuff works so maybe I'm missing something. I've been using it since X4, now I'm running X6Ultimate. Both X4 and X5 have been uninstalled. I am running QuickTracks 5.1.8. I purchased the downloaded versions of VS.
Now, in X6, when using Auto Music I have the Scope set to Owned titles. It shows I have 11 albums available to use.
Of those, the Add to Timeline is always greyed out when these albums are selected. Family, Good Times, Positive Outlook, Scoring Essentials
Why can't I access those albums? If I click on SmartSound Quicktracks I can rebuild the smartsound database, no effect.
On the Albums tab Only the following Albums are listed, Core Foundations, Family, New Standard and Online Purchases. All but Family show Available = Yes. Family shows No.
If I select Family and click on Properties there are 10 selections with 0 copied to the drive. If I try to copy any of them to the drive it want's me to insert the "Family" disc into the drive. I don't have a disc, never have.
How do I get these albums working again?

I have heard it takes some time to make a smart proxy file, It seems to take a very long time although I dont know what is reasonable with my computer, intel2.2g proc-4g ram-64bit-win7. The files are h264 mp4 720x1280HD 60fps. Is it because they are mp4 files? I use WMM6 and have to convert to .wmv but editing is fine afterward. I have also tried Video Pad and there seems to be a short wait for loading but nowhewre near as long as VS. Is there a better format for Video Studio than mp4.

I did some filming today, using my Canon 5D MK II, converted the MOV files to AVI using NEOscene, then ran them through smart proxy in Videostudio PRO X3. When I started editing, I noticed some files were causing the project to freeze and stutter on playback. On closer examination I noticed that about 10 of the 40 or so files had not had smart proxy files created, and that all of these were above 1GB in size. Is this a glitch, or is it just something Videostudio can't do for files that large?

I've been a happy user of VideoStudio for a while now, up until the X2 version. Hesitating on upgrading to X3, I tried the trial version on his launch (now expired and removed, so, I can't speak for the latest SP version). Reason I decided not to upgrade, aside from the apparent lack of really new features from my point of view, is the smart proxy configuration, which seems to have been downgraded.
When overtime I started editing HD videos, I decided to push smart proxy in VSX2 to best fit my needs. For that I evaluated the speed of the various codecs available, and came to the conclusion that the free commercial DivX codec (which really doesn't have my preference for any other purposes), configured in low quality settings and reasonable res, was the perfect candidate to generate my proxy files (poor rendering quality but fine for editing, and amazingly fast at generating my proxy files while taking the best out my quad core CPU). For the final rendering I could then use the compressor of my choice (x264 in general).
Did I miss something, or has the possibility to manually select the codec and compression settings for smart proxy simply disappeared in VSX3? Has this been corrected in a SP since the initial launch, or is there any plan to change that in future update?

have backed up my latest project using Smart Package - all files seem to be in place. Inserted this to a folder and saved to external hard drive. Fine! Problem: how now do I get the project back into VS? Do I physically copy and paste them into VS's project folder - how do I restore them to their rightful home? Need to practice this in case I lose the current project file I'm working on - as happened a few weeks ago! Or can I insert media to file - follow that path - but will it go to desktop?

We've got some Sony XDCam footage coming into Premiere in a .MXF container. Playing back the audio yields a very 'crunchy' distorted sound. 'S' sounds sound lispy and there is generally a lot of additional noise.Opening these files in Sony Vegas doesn't have any audio problems at all, everything sounds fine which leads me to beleive that Premiere is the problem.
However, I've tried exporting audio from Sony Vegas to re-sync with the clips in Premiere, but the audio STILL sounds distorted and crunchy.Opening the audio in Audition ends up being a little better, but still not as clean as how the original audio sounds in Sony Vegas.
Here are all the details I've got for ya:
- Audio recorded in 3 channels, 2 stereo channels from the on board mic and 1 channel through a boom mic (The Sony cams handle up to 8 channels)
- Footage was ingested through Prelude and renamed when copied. (The actual files were not renamed, only the metadata that Prelude tags onto the clips)
- We are working on PC machines (Windows 8) as well as Mac (OS Mavericks) and ALL machines are having the same problem.- We experience the same problem regardless of whether the files are stored on our network NAS or locally
- We are all on the latest version of Premiere CC 7.2.1 (4)
I suspect that it has to do something with how Premiere is decoding the audio from the .MXF clips. Sony apparently decodes it just fine, which makes sense since the Cameras are Sony cams to begin with.I am now noticing that ALL audio in Premiere is experiencing this same effect! Regardless of container/codec.

I've purchased a sony VG10E camcorder that has sourced capture at 25mbps. I have been using premiere pro for years and now find render for the imported 1 hour source AVCHD files takes over a day ! (and still changes original source material ). I've heard that the latest video studio smart renders AVCHD.
Can this provides untouched source file reproduction after editing using my sony 25mbps quality?(i'd expect untouched to remain same, while touched/transitionss etc will require render).

Given my problem with jerky video in VS4 (see this thread), I decided to give Smart Proxy another try and switched it on. To my dismay, not only does it take ages to render the proxy videos, but the computer seems to be rather underused during rendering.
VS4 took two hours to create the proxy of a 20-25 minutes 1080p file, 4GB in size. During this time, according to Task Manager, only four of my eight CPU cores are significantly busy (though still below 50%), and disk I/O is in the area of 6-700kB/s for either direction. I took care to put the proxy directory on a third disk - away from the operating system and the source videos. 25% of the 8GB memory is used.Would the smart proxy rendering process make more efficient use of the available resources, it wouldn't take half the time.
VS4 configuration
VS4 service pack 2, version 14.2.0.23
Hardware acceleration is set for both editing and file creation
The video material is 1080p, 59.940 frames/sec, variable bit rate (max 26000kbps) and comes from my Panasonic camcorder. I used the tool that came with the camcorder, HD Writer AE, to copy the files to the hard disk. Audio is Dolby, 48000Hz, 256kpbs (I have no problems with audio).
Project properties:
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. 8000 kbps)
LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, Stereo

I recently purchased Corel VideoStudio X4. I installed SP1 and SP2. I am facing very long delays in a project with 1080p files. The slowness only comes when Smart sounds track is added. If I delete it, everything is back to normal. I have tried rebuilding the index for Smart sounds Quick tracks but the problem persists.

As I updated to a new camcorder (Sony HDR-CX130) and computer, I have a question about VS X4, that I am using.VS X4 is presented being a kind od ideal editing HD/AVCHD. I started to edit my MPEG-2_TS files with the presumption that I really was editing in HD. It goes quite well on my new PC, without Smart Proxy turned on! In the future I want to burn them on BlueRay-disks. Therefore I want to save my new projects in HD-mode.
But then I took a Look at the Project Properties and it is defaulted to MPEG-files 720x576 pix; SD-resolution. It seems that it is not possible to insert a Full-HD template or Full-HD-matching parameters. Media-type can't be changed to anything else then PAL-DVD.
One other issue then is that I use to use slow-motion and stills in my video-projects, for action-shots. Then I saw also that the stills (Snapshots token using 'Edit>Snapshot' (Correct? I use the dutch version)) don't have 1920x1080 pix, but 1024x576 pixels instead.
I searched the forum and found this topic about the project properties vis-a-vis HD-editing: URL....As far understood, the projectproperties don't matter that much, all material will be rendered Full-HD (upscaled?) in the share-step when selecting BluRay-disc or AVCHD-Video File. Then my questions:
- What is then the use of Smart Proxy and the Project Properties-Dialogue?
- Will the stills be upscaled, so they integrate seamlessly in the endresult?
- Is there a way to change the videostill/snapshot resolution to Full HD?

I tested yesterday creating a video using "same as first video". All inserted files were AVCHD. The created video file, typed mpg, was missing audio no matter what I tried: tried mp4, avi, etc. I then turned off Smart Render in the options that pop-up when creating the video and it worked ( I have Smart Render turned off in the Preferences, BTW). This appears to be a bug or am I doing something wrong? In any case I am happy with this "work-around" Al

Sometimes (only every now and then), when I try to render a project to AVI VS instantly crashes. Lets say I have three projects, project1, project2 and project3. Project1 & 3 will render to AVI just fine, every time. Project2 will crash every time I try to render to AVI. I can render any of the projects to MPG, MP4, WMV, whatever else I want. If I recreate project2 from scratch as Project4, it will then render to AVI just fine. If I remove >>EVERYTHING<< from all timelines in project2, then add a new clip that did not exist before, it crashes when rendering to AVI. Project2 contains both AVI and MPG clips created/captured with VS X3 just a couple of days prior. VS X3 has all the latest updates.
When I say render to AVI I mean I select Share->Create Video File->Custom->AVI and leave it at the default of 24bits, 720x480, 29.97fps, Lower Field First, Uncompressed, PCM, 48.000kHz, 16bit, Stereo. Video on the timeline includes MPEG-2, Lower Field First, 24bits, 720x480, 16:9, 29.97fps, VBR, LPCM, 48000Hz, 16bit stereo and Microsoft AVI OpenDML, 29.97fps, 30532.12kbps, uncompressed, 24bit, 720x480, PCM, 48000Hz, 16bit, Stereo.Although this is a rare occurance, it is a real pain to have to recreate the video from scratch every time this happens.
The computer is a new Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Core2Duo E7500, 4GB Kingston HyperX RAM, 750GB WD Black SATA, Radeon X1550, Asus P5QL/EPU, Pioneer SATA DVD+/-RW, Antec 380 power Supply. Windows has all updates, AV is Microsoft Security Essentials, software installed includes VS X3, Adobe PS Elements 8, Super Video Converter, Office 2010, Nero 8 Essentials, Microsoft Expression Web 3, QTIndexSwapper2, Filezilla, Audacity, Adobe Reader 10 and supporting software that those applications install.

I have a problem with VS X3 due to the fact that the burner crashes. I have made some DVDs with it previously. I have loaded VS X4 trial version and that will burn the DVD. I do not feel that I should buy the new version just to get the burner. The error message is:

I installed a trial version of Pro X5 with Windows 7. Almost every time I try to capture video it crashes.
Camera is a Sony HDR-HC5E. The only format I am offered is MPEG. Sometimes it begins to capture, other times there is no picture on screen and nothing is captured, most times I get a NOT RESPONDING warning and Video Studio just freezes. Sometimes it works but very rarely!. I have reloaded X5 three times.
