  • Good tutorial. I was wondering from the settings you demonstrated for upload to YouTube, will that particular video files be "Full Screen HD"? Or just "letterbox-widescreen"?

  • Hey, I wonder if you can set the frame rates to lower, because I want to make a music video using pictures only. The lowest frame it allows is ~23 Fps, but it is still too high for a picture-music video, which makes its size very big.

  • yes good video

  • You did a SUPERB job on this tutorial! Very slow and very great! I am using X4 and I wasn't sure how to start rendering my videos, and WMV works 100% for me so I chose to use that, so I must say thank you for that :) Let's Played's here I come!

  • Hola man poq cualos lo grabas 1280x720 a los 10% se cuelga el programa ayuda por favor

  • At time 3:03 when you selected mpeg-2. What if I only have PAL DVD and NTSC DVD Show up?

  • Johnboy1, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for doing this slowly so that people like me, that are new to this program, are able to understand everything!! I saw another one that they just assumed we knew everything and was so quick to click things, my friggin' head was spinning!!! Thanks so much!! Cheers from Virginia USA!!

  • Thanks, no probs, appreciate the feedback.

  • felicitacioness¡¡ gran calidad de tus tutoriales se agradece¡¡¡¡ saludos¡¡ from chile¡

  • JohnBoy,

    Thanks for this instruction. One question: I know how to create a library (in youre example the one with the 3 pictures) but i don't know how to fill the library with the projects i'm working on. The manual just tells how to create and delete but not how to use.

    Thanks

    Albert.

  • thankyou for that :)

    xx

  • Please answer me PM!!

  • Thanks it worked

  • thabks for this tutorial.i'm corel user too.i do video production

  • This is really annoying me! My camera records h.264 and I usually follow your tutorial for rendering, but the audio is crackly in some parts, any ideas?

  • Thank you so much for this lovely tutorial

  • PLZ help me,

    when i split a video, and i just want to move it further down the timeline. it wont let me do that.

    i must put it into another track.

    how do i fix that problem?

  • When i go to the compression tab i dont even get a mpeg-2 option :(

  • Thanks man, but i have a HUUUGEEE doubt, in trying to make some videos in HD, so the problem is that when i rendered it, they are in 4:3, how can i make it in 16:9 ?? y really apreciatte your answer

  • i got X3 so should be the same okay up to 2:55 then my menu only has 2 options PAL DVD and NTSC DVD

  • where can i dowload it??

  • that worked man ur great thanks for helping

  • I had forgotten about actually clicking around and adjusting the settings.. I have a Sanyo video camera doing 1080p at 60fps and every video I edited to put text in, I would click to use the current settings and it would change it to 720 at 30fps. Thanks for posting this!! It was very helpful, videos look great

  • Why wont Corel upload any of my music that I get from Napster? My older songs that I loaded from limewire work fine. Both are MP3's....I cant figure it out. Thanks!

  • Thanks ! [:

  • how to put your video to aspect ratio - 16:9 ?????????

  • Most of the settings you have, I don't.  Why does that always happen when I watch a tutorial?

  • So, the final stage is with MPEG-2? How I do it is "Create Video File", then "MPEG Optomize". It saves it in the hard drive in another folder. If you look at my vids such as the Backyard Landscape, looks real good. I have to convert the HD videos (in MTS

    format) over to MPEG-4. I have trouble opening the video filter in the edit. Why I can't click on it? I forgot how I did it before. I still have to get out the "OCC" video.

  • I clicked on "don't show this message again" and now it's not in 16:9 do you know how to get it in 16:9?

  • I followed the instructions to letter but after my video is finished when i play it and go full screen it doent go full screen it remains in a smaller box but in HD.Can you help?

  • Hi, is your original video in HD ie. 1280x720?

  • @johnboy1uk Hi mate, i have an unrelated question, hope you dont mind... My effects are all gone out of my video studio pro x2 program. Can you tell me how to get them back? They just arent in there anymore. Trying to figure out how to relink the FX library or something... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! :)

  • @johnboy1uk by the way, i still have transitions, just not actual fx like fish eye or color changing etc... thanks in advance!

  • Thanks! :)

  • Thanks for it man! U rock

  • Thanks friend, no problem!

  • I want to enquire if it is possible to upscale normal 4:3 into 16:9 HD videos without having the black borders on both left and right sides on Corel VideoStudio Pro X2? Thanks.

  • The only way would be to crop top and bottom but you would lose quite a lot of your video

  • Great video. I think you've saved me hours of work. In Movie Maker I used WMV 720 to publish and sent to You Tube and that worked good. Now I.'m learning Pro X3 and your videos will make a big difference on how long it takes to get up to speed.

  • Thanks, there is a pre-set for uploading to YouTube in X3 that you could use, this makes it much easier, but makes my tutorial redundant!

  • Um, please excuse my ignorance, but what is the advantage/purpose for doing this?

    Why not just create a high definition file and upload it?

  • The file size would be huge for uploading, you need to compress quite a lot for YouTube

  • mine is x3 and it is in german do you know how i can change it to english.

  • Try reinstalling and see if there is an option for English or you could go to the Corel site and download a manual in English

  • Thanks for the utorial. I have put my highlight tape on you tube but it is no the quality i had hoped for. I then tried your way which did make a improvement in quality. However when compared to other members of my team who have uploaded there highlights. There 's still seems better. WHAT IS THE BEST METHOD YOU RECOMEND TO UPLOAD FILE TO YOUTUBE? AND HOW?

  • Hi, is the original video in Hi-Def or SD?

  • I did everything like in this tutorial. And I have MPEG TS file:( but i need MPG cause youtube does not support MPEG TS

  • thanks, I still trying to figure out what is the best file type to upload...is flash/mpeg/wma or something else....my hemet camera shoot video 720x480.

    I cannot find out what video format it is saved in....it just says video file.

    I would assume that using your method I would have to change the size to 720x480

  • I think your camera uses AVI, just import into Corel, edit, and upload using the method above but change the frame size to 720x480, it should still work

  • thx man!!!

  • No problem, glad you found it useful! cheers!

  • plz help me cause every time i got to save as video file it crashes!

  • Hi, try the Corel site and download the update, it might help with your problem

  • When i am importing an mpg file (a video from shot with my sony videocamera), it has on it embeded an automatic timer (date and time of the shoting). How can i remove this? Because when i export the video, this thing is still there.

  • Hi, you will have to disable it in your camera settings, you can't take it off the video in CVS unless you crop the video which will make the video smaller and you may lose some of the action

  • @johnboy1uk But why this timer does not appear when i am playing the original video with all the common video players (like Windows Media Player or BS Player)? Only in Video Studio i see this timer label. So i dont think it's something that has to do with the video camera. I really dont get it.

  • Does it appear on your video camera preview screen?

  • @johnboy1uk No it doesnt! Thats why i think its a feature of Video Studio.

  • Try this, go to settings, preferences, and uncheck Display DV timecode, let me know if it cures it

  • @johnboy1uk OK i found the solution:

    In UVSX3, Settings > Preferences > Edit (tab) > untick Show DVD Sub Title

    (i had the UVS12 and i installed the UVSX3)

  • THANKYOU!!!! Very helpful video rate 5 star!

  • Hi friend, thanks for the rating much appreciated!

  • Good! glad you sorted it :)

  • I tried this and couldn't get it to work. When I watched it, it was green a pixally. When i finally uploaded it I couldn't get it to fill the entire screen for the video. Help?

  • If this doesn't work try the WMV preset at HD 720p, it might work

  • @johnboy1uk I used that after, but it didn't fill it entirely. When you make your videos for youtube and the turn out in perfect 16:9 format, do you just what your tutorial says? Like is that what you do for all your videos?

  • Ok, what format and type is your video camera, and what size is your original video? We'll start here first

  • @johnboy1uk My Camera records in Digital Video Format H.264. It's a samsung sc-mx20. The video itself was just over 1 Million KB. When I uploaded using the preset, it had black on all four sides.

  • This tutorial is for HD 1280x720 your camera shoots 720x480, try these settings instead, if you look at 4:20 you will see what I mean

  • @johnboy1uk so instead of using 1280x720, i should choose 720x480 for my frame size? anything else I should change?

  • Yes, try it and experiment with the settings, it might come good

  • @johnboy1uk I tried it and so far it's the closest I've come (intentionally) and The two sides are still dark. However, the quality was somewat blurry and choppy so maybe I should make the quality higher. Maybe 720x405 with 100 quality will work. What do you think?

  • Try this, custom settings, mpeg4, options, under the general tab, 30 frames, frame based, frame size-720x480, source frame size 16:9, under the compression tab video data rate 4000-mv4sp, let me know how it goes

  • @johnboy1uk so I tried what you suggested and my video was even closer to what it should be but not quite. I fooled around with some settings and uploaded but sometimes all i got was a frozen image of the video with the jog slider moving. So far, what you suggested was the best it's been, but not yet. There was still black on all sides, just less of it.

  • If your camera does not support it you won't be able to :(

  • Hi, is your original video shot in 16:9 widescreen?

  • no audio

  • Thank you so much for this Tutorial!!! =)

    It helped me out alot, and honestly, i got sick of trying to work it out. Impatience can be a hinderence! lol :P

    So, thanks heaps! I got alot of videos coming up!

    xx

  • Thanks for the kind comments, much appreciated!

  • This is for HD Video only which is 1280x720

  • So if I have a HD video and i wanna edit it can i use this method too?

  • This isn't editing it's rendering your final edit to upload

  • west side come my channel ;D

  • I figured out how to upload in 1080p my real channel is phwmovies

  • Ok, that's good!

  • Great tutorial -- really well done. 5*

    -- Shoban Sen

  • Thanks for the comment, cheers!

  • Thanks hope it works

  • It should work, if you have any problems just ask :)

  • Didn't work 4 me, when i tried to upload it said Error or wrong...

  • Try uploading again, I sometimes get errors when uploading

  • Thanks man!!!!!

  • No problem, glad to help!

  • what are your thoughts on video studio pro x3? vs. cyberlink power director 8?

  • Not sure about Cyberlink, I haven't really used this program. Video Studio Pro x3 has better support for online video which must be a great improvement over x2, I'm not sure about anything else as I haven't looked into it yet

  • Thankes youre awesome :)

  • Thanks friend!

  • Ey man, Great job.

    WEST SIDE MAN WEST SIDEEEEEEEEE!

    HAIL TUPAC

  • Thankes, helped alot.

  • No problem, glad to be of help :)

  • what song is this?

  • Not sure, if I find out I'll post it

  • I'm very disappointed with the trial version of Corel Video Studio X2... It will not import video from my Canon HV30. I get an error message that says... "Unable to switch to capture mode. Check if your capture driver is working properly"

    I can capture the video with Windows Movie Maker, so I know that my computer recognizes the camera. But I've been unable to find a solution for the Corel capturing problem. Do you have any idea what the problem is?

  • This Tutorial is exactly what i was looking for. Thak you so much ;) But i have another question: If my project is more that 10 Minutes, how can i split it automaticaly while rendering? Or do i need to split it manualy, and if yes, how? Thanx... ;)

  • Hi, if you look at some of my other tutorials you will find one that shows you how to multi trim your video, it just depends on how you've filmed it, whether you've filmed in one long take or short clips. Use the scissors under the preview window to cut the clip if it is too long

  • @johnboy1uk Hi... Thanx for your reply. But i doesnt meant to trim the film into multiple clips, but to render into 10 minutes piesec (because of youtube)... In the meanwhile i found it out by myself... Theres an option for that at the bottom of the render dialogbox ;) Keep up the good work with your tutorials... very helpful :)

  • Sorry, misunderstood what you meant, glad you sorted it out now :)

  • Upload MPEG-4??

    This is Confusing.

  • The tutorial is not for mpeg4. If you follow it properly it should work, I can't make it any clearer

  • When I try to Share the Video, I use the WMV -HD 720 30p

    And then When it is done, it says "Unable to Load Library. What does that mean? And is there a remedy for fixing it?

  • Not sure what that error means, try uploading as in the tutorial it might work that way

  • Thanks, but it is not possible to upload in youtube because the file format mismatch. What can I do?

  • Try using WMV  and see if you still get the same problem

  • Thanks! All of your tutorial are very helpful!

    btw, if anyone still looking for the song in this clip, it is Margherita from Tom Middleton.

  • thanks for your tutorial

    I have powerdirector to edit and convert videos

    but the file quality I dont like

    i start yesterday use corel video studio

    and i like the results

    thanks!! :)

  • No problem friend, appreciate the comments!

  • THANX BUD

  • Thanks friend!

  • I appreciated your video. I have tried to use X2 pro during the trial period. I have found it very not very useful. My HD videos are .mp4 files in 1280x720 format. I cannot import any .mp4 files. Customer service will tell you to change the extension to .mov but this does not work at all for 1280x720. I have to give up on Corel X2 Pro. I can use format conversions to convert to .mov or .mwv but this is not what I want for the video. I can't export files in .mp4 1280x720. I give up.

  • Yes I know! it doesn't support mp4 files at this resolution! If you look at my notes that accompany this tutorial I explain this, Corel should really sort this problem out, sorry I can't help you

  • Thanks for this tutorial and all your other work Johnboy, it helped me get my first HD clip up onto YouTube. I originally did a 1920 resolution clip that didn't seem to work too well once uploaded. The latest one I've uploaded is 1280x720 and looks ok.

  • Thanks, it's odd that your 1920 resolution clip didn't work that well considering that they now support that resolution, have you any ideas as to why?

  • No idea why, it gave me the option on the HD button of 1440x720 (low res) or 1920x18080. That's the first time I've seen selectable HD resolutions on that button, it was like a little popup menu. Video playback would just freeze on the 1920 resolution, regardless of how much of the clip had loaded...

  • I might try a sample clip at the higher resolution and see what happens, if it doesn't work I'll stick to 720, the quality is still very good with that!

  • I have downloaded a trial Pro x2.but before I

    buyI would like to know if there is a restriction to One User. I have 2 computers and would want to put the program on to both. Trying to find this information from Corel is hopeless. I would purchase a boxed version. Also what is the difference bewtween X2 Pro and Ultimate

    Can someone help a Lancashire lad? Thanks.

  • Hi, not sure about the one user licence, I suppose the Ultimate means it is the top one with all the bells and whistles

  • @johnboy1uk Thanks a lot. We're getting a bit nearer Can anyone add to this ?.

  • Are you talking about the aspect ratio of 16:9?

  • Comment removed

  • If you look at 3:16 I set it to 10000 kbs which is quite high but I  like the quality high, you can lower it for a smaller file size

  • Thank you for this tutorial !! its was great and very easy to explain !! really we need that. continue

  • Thanks for the feedback friend much appreciated!

  • When I go to the mpg2 under custom and choose frame based, my listings of scene sizes stop well under 1280x720, and my user-specified options are greyed out. I am currently using WMV without problems other than perhaps less video quality. Any thoughts on how to get the other MPG screen sizes?

  • Make sure you follow the tutorial closely, have a look at 3:01 and make sure you select mpeg2, the settings should be available if you do

  • Yep, that was it. I missed the MPEG2 step, and that made 1280x720 available. The size difference was approximately 2x that of WMV. I will check for any perceptible quality differences. Thanks!

  • thx so much dude this made my quality x10 better

  • @Baiird I'm glad it helped you, have a look at my other tutorials they might also be of help to you!

  • thanks or the help im rendering the video right now!

  • @fuge805 No problem:-)

  • i wouldnt waste my time..it takes too long to render hd files..just prefer wmv the quality is actually still good depends on your camera..if you have crappy cam than it doesnt matter what you do

  • About HD in this program corel need to do put more options for the users ,i use this program since version 7 is a great program and i believe a gpu accelaration it will be not bad to a newer version or as a plug in for H.264

  • Hi, Yes I agree, if you look in my notes accompanying this tutorial you will see I have explained this problem, that's why I use a third party encoder

  • Windows Media Encoder 9 solved "all" my problems and headaches. If would suggest downloading it. =)

  • thanks dude, you really helped me today. Am subbing.

  • Thanks matey, comment appreciated!

  • For the people who cant get the presets working they need to download "Windows Media Encoder 9". It fixes the way how WMV looks at HD files and it also fixes the HD presets. The link is posted in the notes for the download. Thanks to MarkTrav1982

  • I follow everything but the sound disappears

  • Hi, try changing the audio settings, it might help

  • so did you save this video as HD 720p WMV? Coz I went to do that and I played back the video and it was square box and lost the quality of the video:S

  • If you study the video closely you will see what file format I rendered it to!

  • Great tutorial man...

    really know how to edit videos and make them better now ! 1000 thanks.

    Can u tell how you record from pc which program ? thanks !

  • Thanks friend, the program I use for screen recording is called Camtasia Studio 6

  • @johnboy1uk

    Thank you very much buddy ;)

    cheeeerS!

  • Man, the music is great!

    Is it possible to upload or set it at different framerates for the custom to still work on youtube? Like, can I set it to 29.7 FPS and still upload?

    Thanks!

  • @popchris3 Hi friend, yes just use the same frame-rate as your original video, yours will be NTSC 29.97 fps, in PAL land it's 25

  • this was a great tutorial! i don't know if it worked for me yet, lol but, watch for my Amy video, lol and then we shall see but, it wasn't garbled like alot of the tutorials i have watched. so, thanks!

  • @TheMissHilra Thanks, any feedback is appreciated, have a look at my other tutorials, you might find them useful, cheers!

  • The music you use for your tutorials are really good. What is the name of the song and artist. Pleeeeeze. Thank You.

  • @crystalstarrz I'm sorry I don't know the name of the song, a friend gave me some discs with music on them but no titles!

  • k got it thanks so much bro ur da best! :)

  • Cheers friend!

  • im have da same problem as MarkTrav my video turns out really small go to my page and check my video its weird someone help me

  • Sorry for late reply, just make sure the settings are exactly the same or it might not work

  • What would you recommend for a fan-made music video where speed and quality are both preferred- preset with WMV or "custom" and mpg? And what size? The same? I want to get my widescreen movie clips to fit the full screen - when I use layers, it works but the main title track it doesn't - Help?

    Is it because I'm using frame based? Should I use one of the other 3 offered- and what do they all mean? (lower field, etc) lol -sorry- thanks so much for whatever help you can give! :)

  • Hi, allways use frame based for YouTube (de-interlace) or you will get a combing effect. This tutorial is realy for HD content I don't think your original content is, is it dvd based? Taken from dvds. When you mean layers do you mean the overlay track?

  • Thank you so much! It's from my DVD, yes, but I've seen the same movies in music vids- the clips from them- filling entire screen, clear HD look, so I know it can be done. But when I ask the YTers who did it- they have Sony Vegas pro, so any info they give might not work with Corel. I just have to figure out why my widescreen isn't doing it - it should since Corel can customize. And yes- layers as in overlays. My overlays & effects/transitions fill the screen but the main track doesn't.

  • Hi, just give me a some time and I'll look into this and try and find a solution to your problem, I'll get back to you soon :)

  • For some reason, my videos are coming out kind of fuzzy. Been trying to look for help, any suggestions?

  • Hi, are your videos filmed in HD or SD? It could be a number of things, camera, editing, rendering, if you give me more details I might be able to help

  • wow man, you're amazing.  you should be getting paid for this.

  • Thanks for the comments, much appreciated, cheers!

  • it didnt work, please help.

    it came out smaller.

    i did everything, step by step.

    ugh, never works.

  • Are your original videos HD or SD? This is only for HD content

  • just finished looking. dont have. very strange. i think i read somewhere in this post you said WMV and mpeg2 are the same quality. so no need to worry?

  • After doing various tests and comparisons I would say there isn't much difference between them so I wouldn't worry too much :)

  • awesome vid. thanx for the tip. it worked.

    the WMV HD 720 preset doesnt work for me. when i use that, it saves the movie into a ridiculously small video size (208x160) strange..... could this be because i'm currently using the trail version?

  • Hi, when you select create video file try the custom settings, save as type, WMV, in the options under the profile tab see if there is a preset there, if there isn't then you won't be able to save for that preset. Quite a few people have told me they have had this problem and I'm not sure what the solution is

  • What is the Best Quality you can save a video with in this program?

    Windows Media Video 720p seems the best to me.The MPG2 came out in poor quality.

  • It depends what you want to do with the video, upload to YouTube or playback on your PC? The mpeg2 is about the same quality as WMV, not realy any difference, are you using exactly the same settings as above?

  • Your video helped me a lot. thanks

  • Thanks, glad it helped :)

  • For some reason when I go to save it, it gets part of the way through and then stops and a box pops up that says "Unable to Load Library". It worked a few days ago with a much shorter video...the one I'm trying to load now is only 2 mins long. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for you help..
