A Quick Look at Corel VideoStudio Pro X2

[iPenguinProduction]

My Preview screen is really small and its bothering me because before it was bigger like the screen in this video how do i fix it?

I dont like my edtiing bar bigger than my preview bar

[FreeAgeMusicGroup]

can you do anything like adobe after effects in this, how do you create landscapes and moving backgrounds

[vidoman362]

Not really. You can do simple things, you can make "animated backgrounds" if you think out-of-the-box. However don't try to compare this to After Effects, which is much more expensive, thus having more capabilities.

VideoStudio is a nice, easy to use, simple video editing program.

[HuskeyCavelryProduct]

@FreeAgeMusicGroup yes you can

you can do almost anything with this that you can do in after effects

I'm having a problem previewing my movie in the Share module. My chapters are there but when I click on the remote control nothing happens. Also the auto chapter feature does not work. Whenever I use it the program freezes. I'm running VideoStudio Pro X2 on a HP laptop that I bought last year. I thought working with AVCHD files might be the problem until I created a project using mpeg files. The result was the same with mpeg files. Could you please help me if you get a chance. Thanks.

when i want to click in preferences.. display DV timecode on Preview Window, it says me:

You must have a video mixing renderer compatible display card to use this option if your display card is not vmr compatible, you may experience playback problems

and i do have playback problems! when i record my voice over a video, the audio of the video (when im recording) sounds really bad, i don't know what to do!!! please help me =(

Around 53 sec in the video, how would you draw lines of the yellow rectangle? Also, the transparent maker and the red arrow with the text "NEW"? Thanks!

[vidoman362]

This is done using the new Video Paint feature. I'm using a Wacom Intuos 3 to draw the lines, and write. It's really a neat feature.

can u make the background move in a run cycle?

[vidoman362]

You would need to add several copies of the background clip to the timeline. With videos there is no provision for "looping" if that's what you mean by run a cycle...

[seberusnet]

about the blue screen effect,

you can.

put a blue image in the overlay track and drop its opacity

[jacobguns777]

what is the blue screen effect?where is it

[vidoman362]

Blue screen, as in Chroma-key, the blue title shot at the beginning, or the New Blue Film effects? They are all different.

[jacobguns777]

where is the blue film effect?i cant find it

[evzyboi123]

can u put like stopwatch or timer under your clips??

[vidoman362]

There's not one included with the program. You need to use a third party program for this.

[vidoman362]

Parkour James, Yes you can edit both formats. However just saying "avi" is not a format but a container or wrapper, that could contain any one of hundreds of different video formats, such as DV (which is the easiest to edit), DivX, Xvid and so on. WMV is more difficult due to compression.

[stanislavee]

I have a question whose answer is annoying the crap out of me:

When I upload a video to youtube, I have the CRAPPIEST video quality ever. I save it as a wmv file. is it the camera I am using? If you have an answer, could you tell me what to save my file under?

[vidoman362]

You need to start with the best quality video. Since any video file format is recoded by YouTube to FLV, which degrades the quality. Even MPEG-2 when it is recoded to MPEG-2 can suffer loss in quality.

Motion such as panning or fast moving objects in the video seem to reveal this more. You might try rendering your project to FLV, since VS Pro is capable of this. At least that way it should not be recoded by YouTube. Also try using a resolution of at least 640 x 480.

[Ballplayer300th]

finally.. yes! i been wondering why the quality is bad... thanks about the tips about making it 640 x 480 FLV... thanks..

[ParkourJames]

on this editing software can yiou use avi,wmv? thanks.

[RAVAGE656]

I never knew there was more than one overlay track. Thanks for uploading this.

[vidoman362]

With the Pro or Ultimate versions there are 6 overlay tracks, however with the plain version of VS X2 there is only 1 overlay track.

[RAVAGE656]

Yes. I checked , and this means I have the ultimate version.

[zacandmillie]

Yeah Sure, or you have downloaded the trial and don't want to pay for the activation code.

[redsox42311]

you can't try to activate a trial dude

[zacandmillie]

Thanks for that info "dude" but I have the trial on my computer and each time it starts the splash screen invites me to ACTIVATE, so "dude" you can activate a trial version, which I will do soon. Have a nice day.

[tmcevoy]

Greatly appreciated. Looking to finally upgrade from VS10+ to x2. Been holding out for the overall verdict. Great work here.
