VideoStudio :: Maximizing Video Quality

Jan 24, 2012

I am trying to burn VSP projects on Blu-ray discs with the highest quality video possible using VSPx4. I am using video clips from an HD camcorder with frame size 1920 x 1080 and 59.94 fps but when I try to modify the project settings I am unable to change frame size higher than 720 x 480 or 29.97 fps and I'm not sure why. However, after I click share and click to burn a Blu-ray I can open the settings in the new window and change the frame size to 1920 x 1080 but I still cannot increase the speed to 59.94 fps. My first question is do I need to change my project settings while working on the project or is it enough to change the settings after I click to burn the Blu-ray and the second question is can the fps be increased to 59.94?

VideoStudio :: Low Quality Video Shares?

Dec 21, 2010

When creating video files, I'm noticing that the quality of video in the final file is much less than the original file.

The original files are wmv files. They are sharp, smooth, etc. 640X480, 1900kbps data rate, 2060 kpbs total bit rate, 30 frames/second frame rate.

When I try to create a video file with identical or greater specifications, I get low quality (fuzzy, choppy, etc.).

I've tried them all: custom, dvd mpg, Wmv, Blue Ray, etc.

The one option I can't try (because it's grayed out for some reason) is the "Same as First Video Clip" option. Not sure why I can't.

I've tried it on my Video Studio 11 plus and a trial version of video Studio X3 - same results.

VideoStudio :: Maintaining Video Quality In X4?

Sep 10, 2012

I burned a DVD of some .MOV clips, and the quality of the video on the DVD is noticeably worse than the original files. The size of the original files is 2.9 GB, but they are shrunk down to just 2.01 GB on the DVD. The bitrate is also significantly lower.

VideoStudio :: HD Video - Output Quality

Apr 17, 2011

I have been trying Video Studio a few times in the past. The first version I ever tried must have been Ulead Video Studio 7 or 8. I always liked the process oriented GUI and the goodies that are made so easy compared to other video editing software. I remember version 8 and next to be very unstable though, which is why I kept working with other software like Pinnacle. Each time there was a new version though I tried it and I have seen stability improving with every version. I would like to work with Video Studio a lot, however I have serious problems with output quality.

Since a few years I am filming HD video, AVCHD standard (1080i50) with a Panasonic HDC-SD5 and recently HDC-SD900. The last one, a new camera, offers incredible detail and quality. Of course I want to see the same quality in my end product, the output of the video editing software. Here is where I have a big problem.

1. When I save output as AVCHD an use smart rendering there are problems with the transition between two clips. There are blocks all over the place. I have tested this with X2, X3 and X4. I remember in X2 there seemed to be some frames in the wrong order at the end of each clip. In X3 there were blocks. In X4, which I am testing now, sometimes output is good, sometimes there are blocks worse than I ever saw in X3.

2. When I save as AVCHD, Bluray, H.264, ... no matter what format in 1080i without smart rendering there is a big quality loss. It is really visible, especially on the pc screen. I have tried many settings: bluray 2-pass encoding at 30.000bps, AVCHD and H.264 at 18.000bps. It seems to be impossible to get good quality out.

No matter what I did, I cannot even approach the input quality with Video Studio. And let's face it, it all comes down to the output!

I have tried encoding with some other free tools such as Handbrake and Staxrip. Of course these are not video editors, but at least I could compare the output quality.

VideoStudio :: Video Quality Settings

Oct 20, 2012

I transferred some VHS tapes to DVD in VS 10+. They looked very good on my older 26" TV. We recently purchased a 42" flat screen HD and a Bluray DVD player that up converts DVD to near HD. When I played my DVDs that I converted from VHS the video quality is decreased. I burned the VHS tapes to DVD format, 29.97 rate, 7000 bitrate constant 720x480. What is the better format to transfer VHS to DVD?

VideoStudio :: X5 - Crop Video Without Losing Quality?

Sep 5, 2012

I bought VSX5 Ultimate last week to go with my new GoPro Hero2, climbed the learning curve, and can now produce presentable videos. I've read the (not very complete) VS User Guide, checked Corel's Knowledgebase, spent the better part of thirty hours twiddling filters (rendering to a 1280x720 output file and viewing that outside of VS) and spent about eight hours searching this forum and the Interweb for the answer to no avail, so here I am:

I have 1920x1080 30p MP4 video from the camera, but want to crop it to 1280x720, and not lose image quality. Can VSX5 do this, and/or how?

I'm new to video, but very old to photography. When I say "crop" I mean "throw away the area outside of my cropping rectangle, resulting in an image of smaller dimensions."

I do not mean "fill the area outside my cropping rectangle with the color of my choice, resulting in an image of the same dimensions" as happens when using the Crop Borders filter.

Video Pan & Zoom doesn't work as the final results are abominable; as soon as I specify 150% zoom (amount needed to make a 1280x720 area fill a 1920x1080 area) quality is lost. The Cropping filter produces the same (lost) quality results. Distort Clip does the best job but still suffers some image quality degradation, and it's nearly impossible to get a precise "150%" crop (or "33% reduction" as my Photoshop brain thinks) as dragging the handles is all by eyeball. I think the problem is that all of these options entail two steps: (1) Enlarging the area I want to keep, causing it to fill the frame -- AND losing quality in the interpolation process. (2) Saving the entire frame (clip), now filled with lower-quality "larger pixels" so to speak, at a smaller size than original.

My Project Properties are NTSC drop frame (29.97fps), AVI, 24bits, 1920x1080, 29.97fps, Frame-based, Uncompressed, PCM, 48kHz, 16bit stereo.

My Movie Template that I'm using is MPEG-4, 24 bits, 1280x720, 29.97fps, Frame-based, H.264 High Profile Video: 12500 Kbps, 48000Hz, 16bit, Stereo, MPEG AAC Audio: 128Kbps.

Am I trying to do something that can't be done? Am I overcomplicating something? Am I missing the "photographic crop" filter?

VideoStudio :: Unexpectedly Poor Video Quality

Sep 25, 2012

Brand new to VideoStudio or any other video editing software.

I used VideoStudio X5's screen capture feature to create a couple of training videos for our church. When viewed on their own, the videos look excellent - the screen captures are sharp and clear. But when I use those same captures in a video project - with an opening title and a couple of transitions - the capture videos are grainy, the text of the Web pages included in them almost unreadable.

As I said, I am new to this stuff, so the explanation for what I'm experiencing is possibly quite simple. Nonetheless, why the capture videos look great when I view them on their own, but become blurry when they are part of a project?

VideoStudio :: Creating The Best Quality Video File

Dec 14, 2010

So, I have created many bluray video files which I store in my hard drive using the Corel pro "create a videofile feature" and they have worked pretty good, but I have found that burning the same bluray video onto a disc using Corel DVD factory has a superior picture quality, specially when you look at strong colors like red, they don't smear and have a rock solid look to it, I have also found that when the camera pans this problem shows its ugly face even more when creating a video file to the hard drive, but not in the burning disc process. I always choose two pass encode and the highest quality setting when burning a bluray disc.

Question, Is there a way to choose "two pass encode" in the Corel pro program or a way to change settings so that I get rid of the problem, or Can I use the Corel dvd factory in a way that I don't have to burn a disc, but just create a video file?

VideoStudio :: Video Quality When Inserting Instant Project?

I downloaded the trial version of pro 4x and love the video clarity and smoothness....even running at 60FPS. However, when I try to start editing with the "Instant Project", I start to have issue.

1. The intro is fine.....very smooth

2. However, when it gets to the video portion, the quality and "shuddering" of the vidoe is horrible.

VideoStudio :: Why Does Frame Rate And Video Quality Decrease

Dec 19, 2010

I shot some clips on my sony cyber shot camera (its about 2 years old so the content is not in HD). the clips are in .mpg format

i'm using the trial version for corel videopro x3 -. when i try to trim the clip, the output is not as good as the original clip. Why would this be ?

i selected the "same as project settings" option when creating the file. is there some other option i should choose ?

or is this because i'm using a trial version ?

i used to edit my clips in windows movie maker and it irrespective of whatever editing i would do, the clip quality would be exactly the same as that of the source clip.

VideoStudio :: Color Corrections Decreasing Video Quality

Apr 15, 2013

I made a time lapse video which I then saved as a .VSP file. Then i open a new project and import the VSP file as a video. Then I made some color corrections including an extra point or two of saturation, contrast and brightness. After exporting the video as a 1920x1080 WMV or MP4, i notice a significant reduction in quality compared to the ones where i did not make color corrections. The video appears blurrier like it was exported at a lower resolution. Modifying any of the sliders appears to trigger the effect. I duplicated the problem with a time lapse project consisting of just 5 pictures so there is nothing else in the project. No animations, titles or anything.

VideoStudio :: Poor Quality Result From Editing HD Video

Nov 8, 2012

I am trying to produce a DVD for private use only from a recording of a free-to-air TV one-off program. The program was recorded by my PVR set-top box that we use to convert the digital (HD, I *think*!) signal for our old analog TVs.

After quite a lot of work - due more to my lack of expertise than anyhting else - I have a VideoStudio project that seems to play quite nicely on the PC.

However, when I burn a DVD, the result is very jerky and flickery - to me, it seems as if the frame speed is too slow.

On one attempt, I noticed that the final .VOB file was only about 2GB - 51 minutes of video - and I decided to try increasing the video bitrate (I think that's what it was). The new .VOB file was a little over 4GB, so I expected the quality to be better.

Not so! In fact (without being able to play the two DVDs at the same time) I think it might be even worse at the higher bitrate.

VideoStudio :: Video Clips And MP3 Music File - Audio Quality?

Sep 15, 2012

When 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.

Photoshop :: Maximizing Scattering [Brush Settings]

Jan 30, 2008

When I use the brush tool with scattering set to maximum, the range of scattering is still pretty narrow. I mean, it could be set to 1000% scattered, and the points I draw will still only be with a few pixels from my cursor (about 20 pixels or so). Is there a way to set scattering even more than this?

Photoshop :: How To Render Video Without Losing Quality

Jun 7, 2012

I'm trying to use the export>render video feature in Photoshop CS5 extended. I must use avi without any compression, keeping the original frame rate (the original file is also an uncompressed avi). My impression was that this setting keeps the original video quality.

However, the exported video loses quite a bit of its original quality. Is it possible to keep the original quality?

Lightroom :: MP4 Video Lost Its Quality In Other Software?

Oct 4, 2012

I use Windows 7, Adobe Lightroom 4 and I exported a time-lapse video with its soundtrack. The quality is good
 
But when I import the same video without sound and add a MP3 soundtrack using E.g. Wondershare Video Editor (WVE), the resulting video lost all its quality.
 
It seems to be a problem with the codec when exporting the video.

- LR4 uses an unknow MP4 format to export its videos. Do you confirm that it uses the MPEG format with codec MPEG2 or is it a MP4 format with a MPEG4/DivX codec ?

- How to check if codecs are correct and updated (in windows I presume) ?
 
Another issue, LR4 seems not able to edit the soudtrack and its choice of MP3 format is limited.

- Can LR4 edit the soundtrack to add e.g. a fading at start and end of track ? If it can, via what menu ? (I don't think so)

- If is cannot, what video editor could provide me these fading options and save in hires (MP4 or MPEG 1080p) ?

Photoshop :: Why Do Video Transitions Have Poor Quality On Playback

Oct 26, 2013

I've created a slide show using layers and have created a video group. This turns the layers into clips in the timeline. I've added a cross-fade transition between each clip in the timeline.
 
Everything plays back nicely in PS. When I export to mp4 and play it back in Quicktime, no matter what the magnification, the transitions look horrible. Even if I freeze frame on one it's horribly pixelated. I've tried different export options with the same results. Something appears to be happening during rendering the transitions, as if PS doesn't know how to create them. I export to:
 
Adobe Media Encoder
H.264
High Quality
1920 x 1080 (same as my file)
Frame Rate 30 fps
Field Order: Preset (Progressive)
Range = All Frames
 
My stats are:
PS CS6
iMac 27"
10.6.8
800 gigs free space
12 gigs ram 8 free

VideoStudio :: Split Single Video File Into Multiple Video Files?

Feb 13, 2011

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!

Photoshop :: Video Editing / Exporting In CS6 - Original Quality Gone In YouTube

Mar 12, 2013

I record video tutorials about Photoshop (so, screen captures) and edit/combine the clips inside Photoshop CS6 in Win 7/64; Photoshop's new video talent is nice. I record 852x480px at 15 fps with FastStone Capture  and save in WMV. I want to show the finished video tutorial on Youtube. There are several things baffling me when editing video in Photoshop CS6.
 
My original records  (according to MediaInfo):
Software: FastStone Capture
Overall bit rate mode : Variable
[code]....

The result looks very nice when i play it locally in VLC. It looks like the original WMV. But: When i upload the Photoshop-version to YouTube, the video looks very badly "upsampled" and blurred. It looks much worse than the uploaded WMV original. If you like, you can compare the two videos from the same source online:
 
Uploaded WMV clip, looking good (set player to 480 p): URL....
 
Rendered in Photoshop CS6, looking bad (set player to 480 p): URL.....I do like the resolution of 852x480 and would like to keep it. If not possible, i have to record tutorials in 1280x720, even though icons and menus look too small. So far i have not tested it.
 
I searched my folder C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesAdobedynamiclinkmediaserver1.0. There is a lot in it which i don't understand, but some file names include "MPEG", "AVI", "Adobe QT Server" etc. I think there is no Quicktime installed on my machine; i try to avoid it as it does many different things to the system and is obnoxious.
 
My questions:

- When aiming for a YouTube cast, could i stay with 852x480 (at 15 fps), or doesn't it make sense? (I like that size.) If 852x480 is not ok, what is the lowest resolution for getting good looking presentations on Youtube?

- Why does the Adobe Media Encoder in my Photoshop CS6 only offer the formats H.264 and DPX? Can i get more? (Free, pay.)

- Do i need to install Quicktime? How could i do this with less intrusive QT behaviour?

- Should i record more fps in FastStone Capture? (I don't find more fps necessary when looking at the original and when looking at the uploaded *original*.)

Photoshop :: Video / Timeline Playback Quality Not Good In CS6 Extended?

Jun 7, 2012

I am using PS in a traditional animation capacity--drawing each frame of animation by hand on a seperate layer. I loved doing this in 5.5 and it worked wonderfully on my machine. There are a couple of problems for me with CS6 that perhaps
 
My main problem is that when i play back my animation (I prefer to use the clips/layers version as opposed to the "frame" version which is more limited in my opinion), the image quality is horrible. When I say "play back" I mean hitting the spacebar and playing it, not rendering it. This feature worked like a charm in CS5.5, but the quality is very low in CS6. The same thing happens when scrubbing with the play head--the image quality gets all blocky and pixelly looking. The funny thing is, when I stop playback or stop scrubbing through frames, the images go back to thier normal state.
 
When I first saw this happen, it reminded me of a low quality RAM preview in After Effects (for those of you who are familiar with After Effects)--which I thought would make sense, since AE offers a way to increase or descrease the quality of immediate playbacks (RAM Previews) depending on what you are testing in the playback and how much available RAM you have. But there is no way to adjust the playback quality in PS CS6--at least not one that I can find. I absoluately need playback to be 100% quality as it was in 5.5, otherwise this feature is completely useless to me.
 
Also--did they remove the "onion skinning" button from the Timeline window? That was so useful... That is such a useful button for anyone attempting traditional animation in this program--which it was wonderful for in CS5.5.

BTW--my current machine specs if that matters:
 
Mac Mini, 2009 model
2.26 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 64 bit
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256MB
OSX Lion
4 GB RAM
100+ GB free HD space

VideoStudio :: Output Quality On The DVD

Apr 15, 2011

I use the VideoStudio Pro X4 to edit my videos.

This time I have some problems with the quality of my finished projects. I have tried to burn my project as both DVD and AVCHD. On DVD the quality was really poor with grainy picture.

The AVCHD disc was much better but there was lots of "strobe" in the movie. Especially where I have added transitions and text fields.

My raw video-files is HD video (MTS-files). I also use the proxy tools to make the editing go smoother. I think my computer should handle this without the Roxy, but it doesn't.

I use this settings for my project: Settings --> Project Properties:

VideoStudio :: HD Quality Loss In X4?

Jul 11, 2011

I'm using X4. I purchased quite a basic Kodak Zi8 camera around a year ago, which makes decent quality HD movies. Every time when I copy files onto my PC (.mov files in Quicktime), the quality is amazing. It looks real and live. However, whenever I drag the files into Corel X4, the quality diminishes automatically. (Before even editing).
