I have Corel VideoStudio Ultimate X6 and am having problems rendering clips in slow motion.
I have recorded at 50p in full HD. In Video Studio I have slowed the clips down to 25%, and when I do a preview in the editor, it looks fantastic. However when I render to a MP4 file it looks terrible. You can see every frame.

How do I render and get at least the same quality as I get in the preview window?

I just don't think it is going to work with one huge image - as you see the screen cannot display it properly.

I think you can still do what you want but you are going to have to do a little bit more work - crop the main image into smaller images and use them in turn and maybe apply motion to each image so that the image moves in the screen while your roto pen target moves across the individual images.

Hi Guys

Bendgee does not seem to have a problem in burning the disc, but in playing on the TV as his first post stated.
He does not mention any errors during the burn process
I would think the problem is the DVD Player, not all support RW playback?

Thanks All

The video is somewhat playing smooth now.. I was not aware of Smart Proxy and i just selected smart proxy started checking video.. But now i saw that it takes some time like 2-3 minutes to create the smart proxy file. So now its working fine..

Thanks again

Thanks for ur replies.. i have created the files and its still not rendering the video while editing and not playing smoothly..

However i have seen that in another Popular Editing program that its working flawlessly.. I use this Videostudio cause its user friendly than all of the others..

Hi Jan. Its both, the motion becomes juddery and quality rendered using the mpeg 4 visual compression is way to compressed even if the quality is set for 100% and therefore very pixelated. I think the best way to approach this would be to transcode the initial footage using mpeg streamclip to mpeg or something simple and import that into VS and see what happens. Testing continues.

Thanks so much Trevor. I'll follow your instructions tonight. Perhaps you've answered this question for a wider audience than Sarah and Don. The only issue I've had is that rendering to MPG2 gives me poor resolution on the slides. I'll try this and tell you of the results.

Regards,
Don

Another reason for the slow playback of HD is that your computer appears a bit under powered for HD smooth playback if the video is AVCHD... though it should render OK if slowly...

Hi

Good news, at least you can navigate the burner module.

Yes try burning a DVD Folder or Disc Image ISO.

Read my reply here:-
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=50855&start=15#p271126

Just to sum up:-

You edit the project
Share Create Video File to create a mpeg2 file approx 4 Gb.
Start a new project Share Create disc

Add Media Files—adding the Mpeg2 created above.
The size bar should show Green, no yellow.

I would create an iso Disc Image, then use VLC Player to play the file.

Remember use the NTSF disc drive, not Fat32

Hi

I don’t really understand why those particular sizes.

853.3 x 480 is 16:9 aspect ratio, pretty close to your dimensions

Your video is practically widescreen, so why not use 1280 x 720, If you are worried about the MB file size, then controlling the data rate (kbps) would do that.

You could create a 856x480 template but may have to use Quicktime, the Mpeg4 template does not allow user defined sizes, mind you QT and Mpeg4 are much of a muchness.

QuickTime Movie Files
24 bits, 856 x 480, 30 fps
Frame-based
MPEG 4 Visual
50% Quality, 24 Key Frame Rate
None, 8.000 KHz, 8 bits, Stereo

Try the option Share – Upload To Web – that will use Mp4 1280 x 720
Otherwise use the Make Movie Templates Manager to create your own template.

I have re-installed the software finaly. And I go through all "burning windows". So I'm able to burn a dvd / dvdfolder.

(using alt+N, didn't had any effect and the directX was the most recent version)


Now I can back to the original topic / problem.

Would it be worthfull to try burning the dvd folder again as I have re-installed the software now. Maybe it was a kind of a bug due to the wrong format of the external harddisc.

Hi

Make sure Smart Proxy files have been created.
Smart Proxy files are created automatically immediately after inserting a clip to the timeline. However clips already in the timeline may not have proxy files.

Right click your clips and select “Create Smart Proxy Files”

View Settings Smart Proxy Manager—Smart Proxy File Manager for a list of files already created. Do you see your file?

An icon is added to the clip on the timeline indicating Smart Proxy files have been created.

Many thanks once again.

Will try "My Account" and also C drive to see if I still have X2 installation files.

Appreciate your time.

I need a 854x480 or a 856x480 template. I make a long videos and I don't like to upload a long HD video unless it's a gaming video. I use .mp4 format to render my videos.

I don't see that the fact that a project file itself does not actually contain any videos has any relevance at all - opening a project file populates your timeline with videos which is what you want and for what it's worth I sometimes do what Ian is advocating and I think Trevor mentioned in one of his posts that he sometimes does as well.

Sometimes I do as Ian says and set up the DVD menu and burning settings then close the create disc module and then "Save as" to obtain a project file which I call for instance "burning.vsp" or similar, thus saving a project. then if I do not want an ISO I can just open the 'burning.vsp' project and burn another DVD.

In fact I have a permanent project file called "schoolburn.vsp" which is all set up to create DVD's I make for my local school - throughout the year the videos change slightly so I can just open my schoolburn.vsp project - go to "Share>>create disc" then all I need to do is a quick change of video and I'm ready to go - I couldn't do that with an ISO file.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Ian's suggestion if you still have all the original videos on your PC - which one assumes you would if you were using that method - it works every bit as well as creating an ISO

Hi

I have downloaded your image and attached to the post.

If you use Alt+ PrtSc it will copy the active window rather than the full desktop.
Save as Jpeg and attach to your post.
The attachment option is to the bottom as you write your post.
