Corel Videostudio Pro X3
Oct. 10th, 2010 11:16 amtheflywho.livejournal.comSo I decided to upgrade my trial of Corel Videostudio 12 last night to a full version. Except I wasn't paying attention to the link the trial version sent me to, and long story short, I now own CVS Pro X3. Which I like less than 12, but whatever.
It's been months since I've vidded, and I've lost the ins and outs. I've got DVD Shrink, VDub, VDubMod. I made a test vob file with DVD Shrink because the vdubs kept crashing on the dvd I was ripping. Used the vdubs to convert that test vob to an avi. Inserted it into the timeline on Corel as a test, Corel crashes. Repeatedly. I used the sample video from Corel, everything fine. Inserted a fanvid I'd downloaded, everything fine. So it's my own source material that's wonky.
I don't know if this helps, but it's the Supernatural season 5 discs that I did the test with.
Anyone have any advice?
Saving Ulead to WMV or other
May. 29th, 2009 09:46 pmbookaddict43.livejournal.comI have Ulead Video 11 and am currently trying to save my project (my first using this program). It's a pretty simple project, just photos with 3.52 music file. I want to save it to show from my PC via a projector and have had no success. I saved it as a WMV file and it was huge and wouldn't play and then tried an MPEG which wouldn't play either. My last try was to save it as an .avi which has worked, but the sound quality is scratchy and the clip slow...
Does anyone have any suggestions?
beccatoria.livejournal.comIn my continuing quest to find a vidding program I don't want to kill with my bare hands (I tried to love Vegas, I did!), I'm now noodling around with Ulead, or, Corel Video Studio as it's now called.
I quite like it because it miraculously doesn't crash and renders well which means it beats Pinnacle hands down even though I liked Pinnacle's functionality much better.
Anyway, I have three requests, on the offchance anyone has any advice (and yeah, I know I've basically traded a really obscure vidding program for a slightly less obscure one!)
- Am I being absurdly dumb or does this program, despite claiming to be a nonlinear editor, actually not support either delete-and-leave-a-gap (ripple editing partially compensates for this) or selecting multiple clips at once (as you do in most programs by holding down CTRL or SHIFT) to drag around the timeline in groups? This is probably the issue I have that bugs me most. It's not quite a dealbreaker because of how much I love the lack of crashing, but it's close.
- Can you put transitions at the start of clips on the overlay track? Can you fade in and out of overlays? I have a workaround for this (fading in/out of a .jpg file of appropriate aspect ratio at 100% transparency) so it's not a huge deal, but it's a bit fiddly.
- There's no mirror-image effect (you know, to flip the picture.) Again, workaround is simple if I do that in another program, but I'd really prefer not to have to - does anyone know of any good plug-ins for this program? I haven't found any so far and Ulead 11 type stuff doesn't necessarily seem to be compatible.
Thanks guys!
Flipping clips/Horizontal Mirror in ULEAD
Mar. 4th, 2009 07:17 pmthedothatgirl.livejournal.comI can bodge around the problem it by putting into WMM and flipping but I'd like to find out if it is possible in ULEAD first.
Any help much appreciated.
babygirl14x.livejournal.comViddish Stuffs.
Oct. 3rd, 2008 10:48 pmbeerbad.livejournal.comAlso, I got approved to do a website and new vid as my senior media studies project this semester. For this new vid I am going to try to step up my game and make something more complicated, faster and shinier than the vids I've done previously. I will be using DVD footage exclusively. Now, my question is this: Should I use my own hardware and software (Dell laptop with Ulead Video Studio 11) or use my school's media studies facilities (professional setup with DVD capturing, Mac desktops, and Final Cut Pro)? I am obviously more comfortable with using my own computer, but if the high-tech Mac setup is going to make making this vid easier and better, I'm willing to switch over.
I would really appreciate any suggestions/thoughts the vidders in this community might have regarding this. I'm hoping to make a choice relatively soon so I can go to it!

beerbad.Crackles and pops in the audio
Jun. 10th, 2008 01:00 pmfoxestacado.livejournal.comGood news: I finalized the clip editing of the video on Saturday. Yay! The video looks great, has great pace, and fairly good action sequences.
Bad news: I spent all last night trying to finalize the video, by putting in the audio sequences I want, and the audio started CRACKLING. I have one music track and one audio overlay track. The audio now has "crackles" and "pops" in it, and it drives me insane. It also skips a bit, which is very, very bothersome.
None of the crackles and pops are part of the original audio. All of my audio were captured directly from the source material, so none of it is rendered (all in .wav format). I tried deleting all of the video clips (maybe about 200 video clips for a 1 minute and 44 second video) and exported the audio on its own, and that has not made the "crackles" and "pops" go away.
Any more ideas? I am using Ulead Video Studio 10. I have tried exporting the audio to mp4 format and .wav format, to use in Premiere Pro, but that has not reduced the crackles and pops.
Thanks in advance. The sooner I get this video out, the sooner I can work on my Harry Potter lecture :( Otherwise I will spend all of my time obsessing about it...
housepiglet.livejournal.comI'm wondering whether there's anything at all that I can do to make it easier to work with .avis in VideoStudio. It's grindingly slow with my .avis, but when I try things out with the sample files that came with the programme it just whizzes through. I bought a new PC y/day, thinking that would solve the problem, but it hasn't. Further researches have suggested that the problem is due to the .avis being highly compressed.
There must be other peepses out there using .avis with VideoStudio. Can anyone please offer any suggestions? Might converting the files to mpeg help? If so, is it viable?
Many thanks for any help &hearts
help with saving an avi file?
May. 5th, 2008 06:53 pmkali1967.livejournal.comFades with Ulead 11
Apr. 2nd, 2008 12:42 amcyren-2132.livejournal.comIt's really quite frustrating because it's like the easiest thing to do in WMM is the hardest (so far) to do in Ulead. Oh, and when I try to click the question mark in the upper right hand I just get a "the help file cannot be found" message. That's not normal is it?
And if anyone cares I'm making an Angel vid that emphasizes Angel and Cordy's feelings post-Hero.
spoopy.livejournal.comAnyone know why this is happening? Is there a way to solve this? Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Vidding Basics (PC Version)
Dec. 13th, 2007 12:13 pmmorgandawn.livejournal.comA friend posted this on the Vidder Yahoogroups and I thought I'd share my post with the rest of the world
--- In vidder@yahoogroups.com, my friend wrote: "I hope to learn computer vidding this

Heee! Welcome to the computer vidding world. While I vid on a Mac, I can chat a bit about the software I've seen PC vidders use. (I'll let others talk about hardware)
Windows Media Maker is a very basic program to start with before jumping to Adobe Premiere (which is like the Apple Final Cut Pro I've used). You can download it now and start playing with it: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx
Others swear by Ulead Video as a basic intermediary video editing software. Here is a basic tutorial: http://www.foolishpassion.org/Vidding-newbies-Videostudio/index.html
With any computer set-up you need to think 3 steps:
1. How will you video source get into your computer
2. What editing program will you use
3. How will your final vid get out of your computer.
To answer Step #1: there are two ways to get source onto your computer: a) pulling it in via a capture card from a stand alone DVD player or b) 'ripping' it from the DVD/online avi files sitting inside the computer.
If you go the first method, you will need recommendations on the capture card/PC setup (ex. vidders could offer suggestions as to what capture cards they use that is able to remove Macrovision).
As for the second method - - you just need to be able to load the DVD onto the computer and then use free ripping software to decode it. Then, depending on your video editing program, you need to put the ripped footage into a format your editing program can use. Once you pick an editing program (Step 2), we can give more targeted suggestions on how to get the ripped footage into the format needed for the video editing software you have selected.
To answer Step #3: if your plan is to put your vids out on DVD, you need to have a DVD burner. If your plan is to put your vids online, again that is something that most video editing software programs can handle.

Ulead VS 10
Sep. 17th, 2007 08:16 pmtzegha.livejournal.comNow, is there a setting in ULVS10 that can make this go away, or am I looking at re-ripping my clips?
housepiglet.livejournal.comI'm new to vidding (I've made two) and I've been searching through the Memories here to try to find recommendations for good software to rip .avis out of DVDs. I was using BitRipper, but for some reason it rejected a DVD earlier this evening and so I'm starting to look for something else.
In the Memories there seem to be two sorts of software: (i) something like SmartRipper, which is then used with a converter, and (ii) other programmes that will rip straight to .avi. It's not clear to me what method is best, and because some of the postings are getting a little old I'm not sure either whether newer software has come along to supercede the older recommended programmes. (I see, for instance, that SmartRipper is no longer updated.)
I'm not hoping to make world-class vids - I have neither the talent nor the time to try to do that - but I'd like my vids to be as good as possible, within limits (if you see what I mean). My only fandom so far is House. I'm using WinXP, and I'm using Ulead VideoStudio 10.
I'll be very grateful for any help, and I hope it's okay to ask this question here. I'm going back now for another look in the Memories :)

Tech question
Feb. 29th, 2004 12:40 amlittlesammy.livejournal.comI'm using Ulead Video Studio 7 (runs smoother on my machine than Premiere) on Windows. Currently, I'm scene indexing the different chapters from a movie I ripped from DVD, and it works great - except for one chapter / file. If I try to load said chapter, Ulead freezes and dies on the spot. Doesn't matter if I browse folders or drag-'n-drop, Ulead doesn't want that file. I tried it from a different hard drive. I tried renaming it. I tried ripping that chapter again. No luck.
And I don't get it. The chapter files are all equally labeled, no fancy names, they're not write protected, all in the same folder, and said file is neither the smallest nor the biggest of the batch. All more or less the same. Still, one single file refuses loading. WTF?
Any ideas? Anything I can try besides re-coding it into a different format?
