VideoStudio :: X4 - All Narration On First Half Of Project Disappeared
Apr 5, 2011
VSX4 had a seizure and stopped working. When I contacted a Corel technician he said to uninstall a reinstall the program, which I did and it is working again, but I find all the narration on the first half of the project has disappeared. You can see where it was, but there is nothing there. Why only half the narration disappeared and not the whole lot has got me beat. Is it possible that the missing narration clips are somewhere on the computer and can be retrieved, or are they lost and gone into the great blue yonder and I will have to lay them again?

Is there a way to record a narration without recording video?
Or do I have to cheat the system and record both audio/video to then remove the video track?

Any shortcut to record narration. It seems very long winded to click the record button, select voice over, record and then do it all again every few seconds.

When my project is rendered... and put on a DVD, is it possible to later change its narration to another language? I ask since I notice that, once rendered, the music, video and narration tracks become one. Is there a way of later separating them, say for changing the language of narration for viewing in another country?

I will be importing a bunch of video clips without audio in X4 and also importing MP3 files. For a majority of the clips I will be recording a Narration Audio and the goal is to synch the audio with what is happening in the videos and as such I need functioanlity where I can pause/freeze the video while narraating. I have been unable to find this feature in X4.
I am also open to importing the video clips and audio clips into X4 and then making them synch somehow, but I may still need to pause the video at some stage to make the audio synch.

some projects suddenly disappeared from the selection list that comes up when you start Smoke. The project files are still there and I didn't mess with them either. Is there any way to "refresh" the project listing?
I am working with PreRelease 4

Yesterday while I was editing a project in After Effects I used the command-E within AE to open the selected filein my AE project in Illustrator. Everything was fine, I was able to move things across all exisint layers without changing the file layer organization structure. When I went to save the file, everything seemed to go fine and the asterisk went away indicating it saved the file. When I went back into After Effects, AE told instantly gave me an error: "After Effects error: File exists but couldn't be open for reading: "/Volumes/media/CRISP/Motion/_AIs/dining room.ai"/ (3 :: 0)". But when I go into that exact volume destination, the file is missing and I can't find it anywhere. The volume is a server on the network I use here at my job. The server has never had issues with deleted files or not being able to save files onto it. It is always on and connected.
Despite AE telling me it exists still but it can't open it, I can't find the illustrator file anywhere on my Mac or media server. I've done advanced searches with hidden files being visible and I've even looked in a couple hidden folders ".ExampleHiddenFolder" and I still can't find the file with a matching name or extension. I've even tried use the command-option-shift-open within Illustrator to see if I could open any visible file. I just can't find it anywhere and I don't know why Illustrator would just go and delete my file. Yesterday the Recent Files within Illustror would indicate that I had recently opened a dining room.ai file but when I would click on it to open it to try and recover it, AI said it couldn't locate the file. Now today the file history doesn't even show up in my recent files anymore (it is still the last file I opened in AI).

I've built a project up with several smaller project file components. It's an easier way to create a video than editing one big project.
Opening the overall project and running it on screen is not a problem. However, when I try to create a smart package of the composite project, I get a consistent error message rejecting the process because of the existence of the component vsp's.
Is there a way to avoid the error and create a smart package from a project file that has smaller component project files?

I upgraded to X5 specifically for m2t 1980x1080 50p rendering but when it reaches between 50%-60% it stops. No error message comes up and the program doesn't shut down, just goes back to the "Share" screen.
I am currently trying to render a 23 minute slideshow containing only JPEGS, no video. After 3 tries using slightly different rendering settings each time, I tried a 13 minute video containing 50p Full HD video and that seemed to render fine. I am using a Toshiba Satellite L500 laptop but as far as i can tell it is within the minimum requirements for X5.
The last settings I used to render mt2 were:
1980x1080 @ 50 fps
PAL HDMV
Quality- 70
Video Format -MPEG-2 (also have tried H.264)
Video Data Rate - Variable 25000kbps

Just got on here and love Video Studio x4 with one exception. When I capture video from my DV8 tapes, sony player, it will miss half of the beginning of the capture. This has happened with more than one tape. If I use Windows Live Movie Maker, no problems.

I just bought VideoStudio Pro x6 from Amazon last night and got to tinkering around with it. I have a MP4 video that I imported in and half way through previewing it, the audio drops. The original plays all the audio fine, but VideoStudio just can't get past a certain point with the audio.
I copied this from my system info. Not sure what's needed:
I am on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (6.1 Build 7601)
Processor i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
Memory: 6144MB RAM
DirextX 11

When the modify dimensions box is open, the 'roundoff' menu gives me 1/16", 1/8" etc, even when DECIMAL is selected as the unit format.
This wasn't happening earlier, not sure what's going on. [in fact in a solved problem from earlier, a colleague found a drawing that had units set to millimeters, had its insertion scale set to inches! Different computer, so not related].

I am trying to edit a JPEG. It is one layer. My mode is Normal with 100% opacity, 100% fill. The layer is not locked.
I can use several tools including move, magic wand, paint bucket, crop. However, I cannot use the eraser, paintbrush, healing tool, clone stamp (which is the one I desperately need to use) or many others.

I finished rendering a project as a .m2t video file AVCHD 1920x1080. At the end of the long rendering process (90 min for a complex 17 min project) the project has disappeared! I searched the computer, found the shortcut under Recent Items but it did not open it and the file is not present in the location the shortcut points to. I did a search for the title of the project throughout the entire computer aand still didn't find it. It's not in the trash.

I have selected my audio input under prefrences. I am using a M-Audio Fast Track Pro. USB connection
On the audio track I selected for my audio, I have no "R" to click on and there are no audio controls (play, pause, record, ect) at the bottom of the audio pane.

I'm going back to a project that has been dormant for almost a year. My project files are fine, but when I load them there are no thumbnails any more, just the default thumbnail library.
Are there library files associated with my project files I can search for and what kind of file is that?

which software to go for to add text narration to my video. I've looked at so many but have no idea what would be best, and since I will be downloading it through work and need IT approval it will have to be something that's network safe and works well.

"Do More" Icon has disappeared in X6 from the Corel Guide splash screen, hopefully this is just a glitch from Corel and not an installation problem, not able to check X5 as I have just uninstalled it, but the Do More Icon is still there in X4.

Moved Videostudio X4 from a Win 7 machine to a new Win 8 PC.
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..

In the past I've used a Panasonic SDR-S7 video camera which produces MPEG files with no problem.
I now have a Panasonic Lumix still camera which also takes AVCHD video. The individual files play perfectly in VS12, but as soon as I try to play the project to preview it, the picture keeps freezing. I thought this could be due to the new video's being HD but I don't think the individual files could be played either.

I have been doing this project in X5 and was putting a still picture at the end. When I review the project it stops about a second or so from the end. I thought it was the song, so I took that out.
I changed the picture, did the same thing. I lengthen the time on the picture, it will place and stop about the same time from the end. Doesn't matter how long the picture is playing. If I take the picture out, the video just before it plays fine. I put a picture back in, and it does the same thing? I thought the project time may be set someplace? Doesn't seem to matter because I change the timing on the picture at the end. Stops the same place?

Certainly couldn't open an X3 in X4. If I wanted to edit/burn my X4 in the "faster" X5, why should I essentially start from scratch to take advantage of X5?
Project would be SAVED as an X5 project file, of course.

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.

I want to burn my project I have created on VSX4 to a DVD. I don't want to create a menu or add chapters or anything else, I just want to burn my project to the DVD. I have followed the instructions in the user guide to bring my project in to be burnt, but the next button remains greyed out so I can't go to the next step to enable it to be burnt.

I finished the DVD, looks great, now I want to make another DVD the next day. How do I recover the project? In VSX3 made it really easly to recover DVD projects with all the menus, chapters and any other setting. Where does VSX4 save the finish project at?

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)
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps
Upper Field First
(DVD-PAL), 16:9
I have not deliberately set any of the properties manually and they seem correct for my usage.
PAL or NTSC:
In the UK using Pal.
Error Codes:
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 started a VSX5 project that my friend wanted to piggyback on with his VSX4 software . He tells me that VSX4 opens but nothing seems to happen afterwards. Does it mean that VSX4 is incompatible with VSX5 .vsp file projects ?
