VideoStudio :: ProDAD Mercalli Video Analysis Must Be Executed Again
Feb 21, 2012
I am getting this across the screen on every video that I use Mercalli on. Not to mention horrible lock up's and slow operation.I was so fed up last night that I dumped my entire PC and loaded WIN 7 and all its updates and then VSX4.Still I am getting the same behaviour. I run the filter and it goes through its little screen of adjusting the clip based on the settings used.But I still get this warning on the final project even though the analysis WAS run. I was able to get it to work with an upload to Youtube (.flv) but anything to Disc gives the warning.Also found that VSX4 crashes if you try and save to video folders as well as burn the disk.Now that I think about this it all seemed to start after the last Windows updates. I'm running WIN 7 X64 Home Premium
I love the inclusion of ProDAD in Corel X4 Ultimate. Some shots we would have binned have been effectively ressurected!
Only gripe is that we make Pal 50i Blurays and I hate having to render things twice.
So for that reason we normally output at 50i and simply add to Nero and it can very quickly author and burn these files with almost no rendering.
We cannot output at 50i with ProDad Mercalli inserted onto our clips. It will certainly render the timeline but it comes up with a horrible darkened screen over the shot which has had Mercalli added to it. It says that the clip needs to be analysed again. The clips have already been analysed and we have no problems rendering at 25p. Is there a work around for this or our Corel addressing this issue? I know that Mercalli in other video editing software has the ability to manipulate interlaced shots but I thought it wouldn't matter for rendering.
I recently installed X4 Ultimate which comes with the proDAD Mercolli SE image stabilizer plugin. The problem I'm having is after I apply proDAD to a video clip and burn it to a disc or video file, an error message is displayed over the scene in the clip telling me I need to run proDAD's analysis mode again.
I've tried deleting the video filter by clicking on the X to the right of the filter box. It goes away indicating the proDAD filter was deleted properly. Then I reapply the proDAD plugin filter. The proDAD analysis mode runs OK and the final image stabilized result runs correctly INSIDE the VS editor. BUT when I have VS render an MP2 video file or DVD file with project content that has a clip with the proDAD filter applied, the proDAD error message appears telling me to re-analyze the clip.
I have had this product for about a week and it is fabulous compared to any other video editors I have tested.
There is something odd happening, however. I am using the Mercalli plug-in to stabilize hand-held videos. This works great but the rendered video always has a message overlaid saying the Mercalli analysis must be re-run (even if it has just been done). There IS an exception: render to mpeg4 and everything's fine - stabilization has been applied and no message. If I then take the exact same project (no changes) and render into AVCHD (for example), the output is ruined with the overlay. If I go back into the project again to have a look at what's up re-analysis is NOT called for.
I have been having the dreaded Mercalli re-analysed message and found a thread that described how to render just the clip first and then insert into the project. I have just a few short SD clips in my project, the rest are standard jpg's. I rendered the short video clip with Mercalli and then inserted that clip into the final project. The only settings that seem to work reliably (in rendering the small clip) are HDV720p HDV and WMV. Other settings still produce a clip with the Mercalli message on it. Why though is the rendered clip smaller on the screen than the original? When it is inserted in the project timeline, it plays with black borders all around it like it is in a window instead of full screen. I'm happy to get rid of the Mercalli message, but not too thrilled about this break in continuity of the project by having shrunken images.
I've installed all the software and I can use the Boris FX as i can find it in the effects list and drag it on to a clip. However i Can't see Mercalli in the list or find anyway of accessing it from Video Studio
NB I've checked the ProDAD folder that installed and it's only 15mb in size and the .corel folder is empty
My problem is that I cannot access the proDADMercalli or Boris Graffiti features in VSP X4 Ultimate. I uninstalled a previous version of VSP X4 before installing VSP X4 Ultimate and made sure the files proDADMercalli20Corel|4.vft and the Boris Graffiti.vft files were in the appropriate folder for Corel VideoStudio Pro X4 in my 64 bit W7 system.
Just to make sure, I followed the Corel instructions and re-installed the files in the folder in question to ensure that they had not been corrupted. I still cannot find the features in the FX menu.
I have started to get an error message whenever I close VSX3 that says 'please send the dump file to Technical Support for analysis'. The so-called 'technical support' just seems to be ads for Corel software.
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!
I have a LIVE show recorded and I want to add Video Filters in various places within a single 4 minute video. Do I need to cut up my video to segments to add filters too or can I apply them to different spots in a single video?
Is there a way to have a script executed when a scene is loaded? So basically, the scene is loaded and then a custom user maxscript is executed immediately?
This script should be SCENE-DEPENDENT, not a general startup-script...
However, I have one iLogic routine that is giving me an error whenever I run it. Selecting continue allows it run as expected. Basically, it is to remind designers to set the material type to other than “Default”.
Here is the Materialsddd = 0' deleted parameter materialName = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Material.Name If materialName = "Default" Then MultiValue.List("MName") = iProperties.Materials MName = InputListBox("Select Material", MultiValue.List("MName"), Mname, Title := "Select Type", ListName := "MM List") iProperties.Material = Mname iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True The Parameter MName does exist as a mulitlist parameter.
Nothing appears as the “Stakeout Alignment Report” is executed,I wanted to execute the “Stakeout Alignment Report” (attached) but nothing appears! This is despite the fact that:
-The IE is set as default browser (attached) -The Active X is enabled (attached)
I recently upgraded to Civil 3D 2011 from C3D2010. I have used the same ACAD.PGP file for years that includes the shortcut C for the COPY command. Up until C3D2011 this would always allow me to copy an entity multiple times, (the default when COPYMODE is set to 0).
I am running C3D2011 64bit on WIN 7 64bit OS. It happens with other commands too that use a dialog box normally, i.e. INSERT - it only brings up the command line version of it.
Is there a way to set 20 fps for my video in corel video studio x3 ?
i made a 3d animation and rendered about 3000 single frames as .bmp . Now i want to put them together to a video. the speed of the animation is preset, so i need every frame to show up for 0.05 second..... 20 fps not 15, not 24, not 25 and not 29.97, but exactly 20 fps. i don't know if i am just very stupid, but i can not find the settings for this.
With the installation of SP1 (VSX4), the options to create a blu-ray video file (assuming 1920x1080 only, though the same options exist for 1440x1080) are now:
Blu-ray (1920 x 1080) Blu-ray H.264 (1920 x 1080P) Blu-ray H.264 (1920 x 1080)
Now, I want to create a 'standard' Blu-ray disc of family videos. My camera is a Canon Vixia HF20, recording in 1920x1080 in the '60i' mode. The camera creates AVCHD formatted files. I know I don't want the progressive option, however, what is the difference between the other two options (is it MEG4 vs. AVCHD? If so, what should I choose when creating a new disc?). I want my disc to support as many blu-ray players and HDTV's as possible since I will be giving copies to various family members (meaning I don't want a format that supports only the latest releases of blu-ray players).
Can it actually be done? If I so much as drop 3D file onto the timeline and tag it as 3D (SBS L-R in my case), I get the "... lost 3D attributes..." message when I try to create a 3D file. I tried tagging a 2D file as 3D for S&Gs and got the same result. In case it matters, the files are in .avi format (and even rendering a 2D version of these makes a jumpy video, but I digress...).
Is there anyway to convert the video to 4:3. When I save it 4:3 file it doesn't cut it down. It makes the video look back. Can I cut the outside edges to make the video 4:3?
I just purchased Video Studio Pro X3 and I love it . In my opinion it is possible to capture video from the video camera. I have a JVC HD camera
This the camera I purchased.
[URL]......
I would like to hook my camera up to my computer
[URL]........
How do I do this. Now of course my camera records off an SD card and I can just stick it in there and edit. The reason I am hoping I can capture video just like I can with a webcam is because the view screen on my camera no longer functions so therefore I can only point in my general direction and center up the shot in post edit.
When I record in 720p @ 30 FPS my raw files are usually around 30-35kbit rate, however whenever I compress the videos they seem to drop to around 18k bitrate which really put my videos below the standard I want. I've tried to add my own compression templates but whatever I do, I can't seem to get any of the compression options above 20.000 bitrate.
I have tested with Sony Vegas and with that I can pretty much choose myself what bitrate I want it to be. Although I know Corel a lot better and its easier for me to do what I want with it.
- How can I compress my files with higher bitrate? I want it around 30.000k.
Is it me or am I really seeing that X5 has LESS video encoding options vs X4? Really? I remember having lots of choices and options as far as how to encode MP4 the size (or ratio, etc 720 vs 1080p)
I can't seem to get 1080p but I can get 720p but in X4 I recall I could do 1080p for MP4 though.
I'm new to video editing and am using video studio Pro X3, everytime I edit some video or want to use a clip. The trimmed video always flashes the first frame at the start and finish of the trimmed clip. Also when I add a subtitle or text in the time line, that first frame flashes by at the beginning and end of of the text. This is very annoying and doesn't look very good in the project. How can I remove this first frame and how do I prevent it in the first place??
I have been having a beast of a time trying to find a program that will support the files from my new camera. It records in 1920 by 1080 30fps .MOV. Windows movie maker and my old adobe program will not recognize this video I have recorded. Does corel pro x4 is capable of importing and editing this footage? Would love to know before I purchase. I am not looking to convert the video either, I have tried that and it has really hurt the quality.
I have a video clip in 4:3 format that I want to insert in a video project in 16:9 (project properties set at 16:9). How could I do that?
I know that there will be black bands above and below the converted project. However, when I inserted the 4:3 video clip in the 16:9 project, it stays in 4:3.
Am trying to rotate a MPG video taken with an original aspect ratio of 16:9 in portrait mode ie long side vertical. The video loads into Videostudio fine, ie the image is sideways-on as expected and there are the black bars at top and bottom in the edit window as is usual for 16:9 videos. If I use the rotate button, this does rotate the video, but there are now black bars down the left/right sides as well as top and bottom, and the viewable image looks 4:3 (?) - it is flattened ie people look short and fat. Is there a particular project property/create video setting I need to set. I don't understand the settings - I'ver tried things like 'non-square pixel rendering' without knowing what to expect - but nothing so far seems to work.
Whichever video format I have on the timeline or in the batch converter, I never can find a setting to create interlaced MOV video's with VSX3. Is this correct?
Probably a well worn topic but I've lost all my video filters in VS Pro X2? Just trying to crop some green screen shots that still show the garage wall.
