I have a Sony camera wich can record 1920x1080 50p.It's the absolute best quality that camera can capture. The raw footage looks marvelous. After open in Videostudio X6 it plays ok but the final disc blu-ray or avchd even on dvd format the footage looks juddery especially on pans and moving subjects.

It seems VS always output a video file with 29.970 fps even if the footage was taken at 24P, 30P. Can video studio output a video that is the same as its capture fps rate?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can see that saving my 50p footage as 25p would be ideal as it would just drop every other frame. However vsx3 doesn't give me the 25p option. mp4 hd 1080x1920p only offers 30p
Is this because I set vs up as PAL region ? If I changed it to ntsc would it then offer me the 25p option?
I'm really trying to find my best "saving " option for my 1920 x 1080p footage. I use 50p so I can get good slow motion but 25p or 30p would be good output if it plays nicely..
I have a DVD of some old 1937 film footage. It was obviously taken as a direct transfer from degraded film stock. I have loaded it into Videostudio from the DVD (which VS has loaded as .mpg files) I have applied some sharpening and visual filters and want to export the footage. Is it best to export to DV and then use that to remake a DVD or burn the DVD direct from VS? I am assuming that trying to reburn the DVD will involve some re-encoding anyway, so either way isn't going to make a difference other than having a DV file to archive.
what I am trying to do with reference to the file conversion aspect and minimising loss of quality.
I have a project that was filmed in DVCAM and captured as an AVI file. I want to mix in some footage that was filmed in HDV, on the same camera. Presumably I can capture it as an AVI too and just add it to the project? The project is:

You can see what I mean by spasming: [uRL] ... (jump to about 30 seconds in).
The above video is the 1st time that happened. It just happened to me again for the 2nd time, yesterday. I checked the raw footage and it doesn't spasm, so it's not my recording software. I loaded it into Sony Vegas and it doesn't spasm. It's JUST in VideoStudio. But it also displays as spasming when rendered out.
Why it has happened only twice in about 1000 opportunities. And, to show it's not a fluke... when it happened yesterday, I re-did the work immediately after and it still spasmed. However, I recorded something else today and it worked perfectly.
I use WMCapture for screen recording and also had Audacity running for capturing my microphone. However, I did the same thing a week ago, with no issues. It's 2 completely isolated incidents.
Well, I bit the bullet, and I'm slowly learning the tricks of Video Studio. Here's my question... is there anyway I can "park" footage on the lower video tracks without them showing up in my preview video? In other words, I typically place clips on lower timeline tracks and eventually insert them into the final video after tweaking the main video track. When "other" clips are parked at the lower tacks, they appear in the preview footage, which I do not want to see.... yet.

What i've done is put the same clip together twice, as strangely the first clip is smooth, then subsequent clips are all jerky. This has been going on for some time, so switched to 25fps. 25fps from my Canon 5D MKII wasn't as good as 24fps, so switched back and decided to try and sort this out.
I have been through multiple settings, deleted all older versions of Corel, removed then re-installed X5, made sure all patches and updates were installed - made no difference.
I've been using Corel Video Studio X4 to edit the footage from my Muvi HD camera which is usually mounted on my bike frame or cycle helmet.
If I upgrade to X4 Ultimate it comes bundled with some software that is supposed to stabilise the recorded video. (proDAD Mercalli SE)
Any experience of this software plugin, is it worth upgrading for this component, or any alternatives to steady video recordings?
When you are burning HD footage (video type H.264, Upper Field First) to a DVD, do I keep the project input and output on UPPER FIELD FIRST? Or am I supposed to change both to FRAME BASED?
This is what I know:
SD is Lower Field First
HD is Upper Field First
"Still Photos" is Frame based
I had a videographer tell me today that to burn HD to a DVD i'm supposed to use FRAME BASED. And HD to a BLUE RAY disc is UPPER FIELD FIRST. I thought Frame Based was only for Slideshows.

Video studio prox5 ultimate. I am capturing footage using a canon dv video camera, 1394a firewire adapter and firewire cord. I purchased video studio in October 2012. Now, while capturing the footage, I am experiencing a problem with the audio being captured very choppy, like there is static in the audio. This just started happening. The audio is playing fine on the camera but not capturing smoothly.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI currently have X5 and am wanting to burn my 1080P footage to a blu ray disc. However the settings when I select 'create disc' only allow upper or lower field, and not frame based. Does X6 have the capability to create a disc at 1080P, is it worth purchasing? Or does it even matter if I output to upper field first (quality-wise)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have Canon 60d original footage shot at 1080p 25. The clip is only 9-1/2 sec long. When I play the clip straight out of my pc folder inside VLC the clip is smooth. The moment I import the clip into VS proX5 timeline and straight away, share / create video file / AVCHD / 1920x1080p preset, VS introduces 4 dreaded stutter problems into the render finished product which is very noticeable and ugly to watch.. I am in PAL land and VS was installed to PAL. I have also tried the WMV hd1080p preset and mpeg-4 and the results where just as disappointing.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've been working on a project (original is HD footage) and got a successful render to SD DVD. In trying to render a copy for my ipod i get an added audio problem no matter what ipod setting VSP x3 offers me. It's a background distortion, similar to that of clip that goes in very slow motion and the audio is echoing with reverb. The background noise appears to be in continual " waves".
However, the clip does look excellent otherwise in picture, vocals, musically etc.
I am using VSX5 and after rendering a project of video, where I have added transitions and titles, the video image is not as clear as it was before I rendered.
I have captured the footage from a mini dv camera using firewire, or, someone else has captured the video footage on a dvd using a dvd burner and given me the dvd to import into VSX5. Sometimes VSX5 will not read that dvd for import, so I have used freemake video converter, and converted the dvd into an mpeg file and put it in a folder on my computer where VSX5 "grabs" it. During the edit phase, the video is clear, after render, it loses some of it's clarity and is blurry.
This has not always been the case. The only thing that has changed with VSX5 is I installed sp2.
I have been using VS11But, I have just bought a new camera, a Panasonic HC V500. A small section of the info on the camera are the following lines:- 2D-to-3D Conversion.The camera processing engine automatically converts your 2D footage to 3D without the need for the optional 3D lens, to then be able to view on your 3D TV for an enhanced viewing experience.
Progressive Video Format for Smooth Action.The Full HD format employed in this model uses 1080/50p (AVCHD Progressive compliant) imaging. The Progressive format carries roughly double the image information of a 1080i interlace signal, minimising flickering and after-images.
As I edit and convert all my video footage into movies, will the latest VS programme retain the 3D conversion ability/facility, if so, what is the latest (or best) VS edition to purchase.
Trying to convert video footage on VHS video to AVI files which I can burn to DVD disc. I bought EasyCap and installed it along with Ulead Video Studio. The program seems to be running OK, the device appears to have been installed OK. I connected the VHS recorder to the Easy Cap device with the Scart to RCS lead supplied with it. When I go to capture video, nothing happens, apart from the clock starting. The screen remains blank and no video is recorded.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am confronted with a considerably quality loss when I edited and rendered the material from my Sony HDR-CX130 camcorder. It shoots *.m2ts 1920x1080 at 50i (this is in fact 25 fps, I assume).
The loss is visible when there are moving objects or when the camera moves: very not-fluent and not-smooth movement-representation, while the original footage playbacks fine and smoothly in any mediaplayer (Sony PMB or Windows Mediaplayer).
As if the rendered material has a framerate of 12 fps! Which isn't the case, in fact.
I did some experiments: render to other formats like MPEG, tried it on the laptop of a friend who also has CVS X4 installed (W7 SP1, i5 2,3GHz, 4GB RAM),I used properties of first videoclip (which actually doesn't happen), set camcorder at 50p; all without better results.
Project properties I use in CVS X4:
PAL (25 fps)
Microsoft AVI-files
8 bit, 1920 x 1080, 25 fps
Frame-based
Microsoft Video 1
This I was told here to use in order to get stills that are also 1920 x 1080 in size.[URL]
Is the un-fluent playback of edited AVCHD normal, will it be better in version X6?This is visible when playing back the rendered footage in Sony PMB and WMplayer as well.

I am currently working on a 24fps project with R3D footage in Premiere.Some of the footage for a new sequence I am working on was shot at 48fps (and will need to be exported to 24fps while retaining 48fps' slow motion effect).
Can Premiere play back in the program monitor at 48fps? Can it interpret/render 48fps footage to export to 24fps while retaining the original attributes of the 48fps footage? Or would I need to use additional software to accomplish this?
I would like to be able to edit/playback the footage at the correct frame rate within Premiere as I need to synchronize it with music to see which segments of the clips I have will work best.
I have two compositions, second is a copy of the first. On the second's layers i use other footages with other start points, while the keyframes of the layers should stay there (related to the layer). I have replaced the the second's footages by alt-drag&drop. But i can not set other start points. So how can i shift the footage behind the layer?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am performing some compositing tests using 4K footage (3840x2160, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, from BM Prod. Camera 4K) in AE 5.5. However, when I import the footage, the resolution is listed as being 1364x767. Closer inspection reveals that the footage is truly being treated and displayed at that lower resolution; thousands of pixels are essentially being ignored. When the footage is dropped into a 4K composition, it occupies only a small area at the center of the screen.
Mac OS X 10.9 (my operating system) incorrectly reports the footage resolution in the file properties (in Finder, listed as 1364x766), However, upon opening the file with Quicktime, the footage is displayed correctly and the "inspector" window reports the correct resolution dimensions (3840x2160). So the file is ok; all of the 4K data is there and Quicktime can read/interpret it. Why then can AfterEffects not do the same?
Is there a way to have a certain preset of effects activate on any and all footage dragged into the timline? I'm working in a 24FPS 2K timeline with 60FPS 1280p footage.

Is there a way to have the time playback and scale change automatically affect every piece of footage dragged into the timeline?

I am new to .mxf and I have only been using this footage format for a few months, however the crashing issue did not occur until about a month ago. Im not using proxies I believe it was around the time when I applied the latest AE update. I cant say with confidence it was the update because I also was switching GPU drivers to resolve Premiere Pro crashing. Essentially AE worked when Premiere Pro didn't, and now visa versa.
It always catches and crashes before going into adaptive resolution. Are the hard drives not able to keep up? Footage runs fine in Premiere Pro Hardware seems to check out.
