Corel VideoStudio (formerly Ulead VideoStudio) is a
video editing software package for
Microsoft Windows distributed by
Ulead Systems (a division of
Corel). The latest version of the software is X6.
Basic editing
The software allows both
storyboard
and timeline-oriented editing. Different formats are supported for
source clips, and the resulting video can be exported to DVD, AVCHD,
HD-DVD and AVI. VideoStudio also supports direct DV and HDV capturing to
disk.
Transitions
VideoStudio provides several categories of video transitions, including:
- FX contains assorted video effects such as 'Burn' and 'Fade to black'
- 3D provides assorted 3D transition effects
- Album a slideshow effect similar to that of a photo album.
Overlay
Users can overlay a
Flash animation,
an image, or text on the video. However, the number of overlays allowed
is limited. The user must remove a particular color from the overlay
video so that the required background or picture can appear in the
foreground.
Other features
VideoStudio can change apparent video playback speed, reverse it, and
modify hue and saturation. It provides tools that let the user trim,
crop, and split video tracks. The
soundtrack
can be split from the video track, allowing the audio to play at a
different pace than the video. A feature that Corel calls "SmartRender"
renders only the edited portions of video, so a user can preview edited
footage without VideoStudio creating temporary files. This feature also
makes final rendering much faster.
Proxy Video Files
Video Studio supports editing of
high-definition
video. Proxy files are smaller versions of the video source that stand
in for the full-resolution source during editing to improve performance.
Plug-ins
Video Studio supports VFX-type plug-ins from providers like New Blue FX.
