Exporting a video file

VideoStudio provides you with a number of ways to export and share a video file. A video file can be exported to a Web page, converted to an executable greeting card, sent by e-mail, or set as a desktop screen saver. Select a video file in the Library and click video. Choose the type of output for your
Starting a new movie project
When you run VideoStudio, it automatically opens a new project and lets you start composing your movie production. A new project always uses VideoStudio's default settings. To check what these settings are, click File: Project Properties. Project settings determine how your movie project is rendered when you preview it. Rendering is the process by which VideoStudio converts raw video, titles, sounds, and effects into a continuous stream of data which can be played back in your computer. You can modify the project settings in the Project Properties dialog box.
When you capture or insert your first video clip into the project, VideoStudio automatically checks the properties of the clip and your project. If properties such as file format, frame size, etc. are not identical, VideoStudio automatically adjusts the project settings to match the clip's properties. Changing the project settings to conform with clip properties allows VideoStudio to perform the SmartRender function.
The above message box lets you change the project properties to be the same as the first video clip inserted into the Timeline. To toggle between displaying and not displaying the message box, select or clear Show message when inserting first video clip into the Timeline in the Preferences dialog box.

Setting your preferences

Customize the program's working environment through the Preferences dialog box. You can specify a working folder for saving files, set undo levels, choose preferred settings for program behavior, enable Smart Proxy and more. To open the Preferences dialog box, select File: Preferences [F6]. VideoStudio contains a sample finished project that lets you have a general overview of most of the features that are available in the program. This sample project also lets you experiment and get a general feel of how to use VideoStudio. You can find the sample project in your specified working folder or the default folder: My Documents\Ulead VideoStudio\10.0.
Setting project properties

Project Properties serve as your template for previewing your movie projects. The project settings in the Project Properties dialog box determine the appearance and quality of a project when it is previewed on-screen. To customize project settings, select File: Project Properties. When customizing project settings, it is recommended that you make the settings the same as the attributes of the video footage that will be captured to avoid distorting the video images and have smooth playback without jumping frames. When you customize project properties to be the same as the desired output settings for your project (for instance, setting project properties to DVD settings if you will output the project to a DVD disc), you can have more accurate previews of your final movie.

Adding clips

There are three ways you can do to add clips to your project: Capture video clips from a video source. The video clips will be inserted onto the Video Track. Drag clips from the Library onto the correct tracks. Click to directly insert media files to the different tracks.

Previewing

The Play button in the Navigation Panel serves two purposes: for playback of your entire project or a selected clip. To play back, click Project or Clip, then click Play. While working on your project, you will want to preview your work frequently to see how your project is progressing. VideoStudio offers you two preview options: Instant Playback and High Quality Playback. Select File: Preferences General, then choose the preview method that you prefer in Playback method.
Instant Playback allows you to quickly preview changes in your project without the need to create a temporary preview file, however, playback may be jerky depending on your computer resources. High Quality Playback renders your project as a temporary preview file then plays this preview file. Playback is smoother in High Quality Playback mode, but rendering your project for the first time in this mode may take a long time to complete depending on the size of your project and computer resources.
Note: When Perform non-square pixel rendering is selected in the Project Options dialog box (opened from Project Properties dialog box), Instant Playback performance may be affected if computer resources are insufficient.
In High Quality Playback mode, VideoStudio uses SmartRender technology which renders only the changes you made such as transitions, titles and effects, and eliminates re-rendering the entire project. SmartRender saves time when generating previews.

Setting a preview range

For faster previews, you may choose to play only a part of your project. The selected range of frames to preview is referred to as the preview range, and it is marked as a red bar in the Ruler Panel. To play the preview area only: 1. Use the Trim Handles or the Mark-in/out buttons to select the preview range. The Preview range mark-in and Preview range mark-out timecodes will then be displayed in the Options Panel. 2. To preview the selected range, select what you want to preview (Project or Clip), then click Play. To preview the entire clip, hold [Shift], then click Play.

Undoing and redoing actions
You can undo or redo the last set of actions that you performed while working on your movie by clicking Undo [Ctrl+Z] or Redo [Ctrl+Y] in the toolbar.
Showing and hiding grid lines
You can use grid lines to guide you when repositioning or resizing images and videos or when adding titles to your movie. To show grid lines in the Edit and Overlay steps, select a clip in the Timeline then select the Attribute tab. Select Distort clip then select Show grid lines. To show grid lines in the Title step, select Show grid lines in the Edit tab.

Tip: Click

to adjust grid line settings.

Saving your project

While composing your movie project, select File: Save [Ctrl + S] to frequently save your project and avoid accidental loss of your work. VideoStudio project files are saved in.VSP file format. To automatically save your work, select File: Preferences then select Auto save duration and specify the time interval between saves. To open an existing project, select File: Open Project [Ctrl + O]. To create a new project again, select File: New Project [Ctrl + N].

Capture

The bulk of video work involves working with raw footage. Transferring footage from a source device to the computer involves a process called capturing. When capturing, video data is transferred from a source (usually a video camera) through a capture card to the computers hard drive.
Seamless DV and MPEG capture
VideoStudio runs on Windows operating systems and is subject to limitations in file size when capturing or rendering video. VideoStudio automatically performs seamless capture, saving video into a new file every time the maximum allowable file size for a single video file has been reached. Seamless capture will be performed only when capturing DV Type-1 or DV Type-2 (from DV camcorder), or when capturing MPEG video (from DV and HDV camcorder or analog capture device). The maximum captured file size per video file is 4 GB in Windows operating systems that use the FAT 32 partition file system. Captured video data in excess of 4 GB are automatically saved to a new file. In Windows 2000 and Windows XP which can use the NTFS file system, there is no limit in the captured file size. Seamless capture is not available in VFW (Video For Windows) capture.
Note: VideoStudio automatically detects your file system and performs seamless capture only in a FAT 32 partition file system.
The Capture Step Options Panel
The Capture Step Options Panel consists of three options: Capture Video, DV Quick Scan, Import from DVD/DVD-VR and Import from Mobile Device.

3. Other clips in your project automatically reposition themselves according to changes made.
Note: Changes made in the video Duration box only affect the Mark-out point. The Mark-in point remains unchanged.

Saving trimmed clips

Frequently, when you make changes (i.e., after auto-splitting clips using Split by Scene, extracting clips using Multi-trim Video, or manually trimming clips), you may wish to make a permanent change to the clip and save the edited file. VideoStudio gives you a margin of safety in that it saves the trimmed video to a new file and does not alter the original file. To save, select a trimmed clip in the Storyboard, Timeline or the Library and select Clip: Save Trimmed Video.

Ripple Editing

Ripple Editing allows you to insert clips while automatically moving other clips (including empty spaces) aside, to make room for it on the Timeline. Use this mode to maintain the original track synchronizations when inserting additional clips.
Ripple Editing is enabled for the tracks where content is inserted.
A color clip is inserted before the original clip and all clips where Ripple Editing is applied shift accordingly
To insert clips in Ripple Editing mode: 1. Click Ripple Editing to activate the panel, then select the corresponding box for each track where you want to apply Ripple Editing. 2. Drag the clip to insert from the Library to the desired position on the Timeline. As soon as the new clip is in place, all clips where Ripple Editing is applied will shift accordingly while maintaining their track positions relative to one another.

Note: Ripple Editing can be applied from any of the three project views.
Ripple Editing also works when removing clips. In the example below, Overlay and Title tracks maintain their position relative to the video after the clip in the middle has been removed.
Adding chapters using Chapter Point Bar
You can add chapter pointers by clicking. Select Add to specify the chapter name and the specific timecode you want to set as a new chapter. Notice that, below your Timeline ruler, chapter pointers are set as markers in your movie.
To edit a chapter, click on a chapter pointer you want to edit and drag to a new position. To rename, double click a chapter pointer and then enter a new chapter name. Click OK. To remove, simply drag the pointer outside the timeline ruler and then drop.

Enabling Smart Proxy

Proxy files are lower resolution working copies of video files. They are reduced in resolution or compression bit rate for only one reason --to speed up editing of HDV and other large video source files. Proxy files are source-dependent rather than project-dependent. In other words, proxy files can be shared among different projects. When you edit and preview your project in Instant Play mode, proxy files will be used as substitutes for their large video source counterparts. Whereas when you preview your project in high-quality playback mode or when you render a video file, the original video source files will be used. To enable the creation of proxy files, go to File: Preferences - Smart Proxy, then select the Enable Smart Proxy option. In the Smart Proxy tab of the Preferences dialog box, you can set the condition when proxy files need to be generated and choose a proxy file format. Once Smart Proxy is enabled, proxy files will automatically be created and used in your project whenever you insert video files into the Timeline. In the toolbar, click to see the list of video files to be generated as proxy files. Select the files you want to include in your queue and then click OK.
Converting multiple files
Batch Convert allows you to simultaneously convert a large number of files to another format.
To do Batch Convert: 1. Click.
2. Click Add and then choose the files you want to convert. 3. Select an output folder in Save in folder. 4. In Save as type, choose your desired output type. 5. Click Convert. 6. The result is shown in the Task Report dialog box. Click OK to finish.

To customize the current object, frame, or Flash animation: Use the various options available in the Edit and Attribute tabs to customize your object and frame. You can add animation, apply transparency, resize the object or frame, and more.
While a picture may be worth a thousand words, the text in your video production (i.e., subtitles, opening and closing credits, etc.) adds to the clarity and comprehensibility of your movie. In VideoStudio's Title Step, create professionallooking titles, complete with special effects, in minutes.

Adding text

Ulead VideoStudio allows you to add text either in multiple text boxes or in a single text box. Using multiple text boxes gives you the flexibility to position the different words of your text anywhere on the video frame and allows you to arrange the stacking order of the text. Use a single text box when you are creating opening titles and end credits for your projects. To add multiple titles: 1. In the Options Panel, select Multiple titles. 2. Use the buttons in the Navigation Panel to scan your movie and select the frame where you want to add the title. 3. Double-click the Preview Window and type in your text. Click outside the text box when you are done typing. To add another set of text, double-click again on the Preview Window.
4. Repeat step 3 to add more sets of text.
If you switch to Single title before adding to the Timeline the multiple text that you entered, only the selected text or the first text that you typed in (when no text box is selected) will be retained. The other text boxes will be removed and the Text backdrop option will be disabled. To add a single title: 1. In the Options Panel, select Single title. 2. Use the buttons in the Navigation Panel to scan your movie and select the frame where you want to add the title. Double-click the Preview Window and type in your text.

Trimming and cutting audio clips
After recording voice and music, you can easily trim your audio clips on the Timeline. There are two ways to trim audio clips: On the Timeline, a selected audio clip has two yellow handles that can be used for trimming. Just grab a handle, either from the beginning or end, and drag it to shorten a clip.

Drag the Trim handles.

Tip: You can also trim a clip in the Library by using the Trim handles.
Aside from trimming, you can also cut audio clips. Drag the Jog Slider to the position where you want to cut the audio clip then click Cut clip based on Jog Slider position. You can then delete the excess part of the clip.
Tip: To play the trimmed portion of the clip, click Play Trimmed Clip.
Note: VideoStudio also has an Auto-trim function. When you insert an audio clip between two existing clips in the Timeline, it will automatically be trimmed to fit the available space.
Stretching audio duration
The time stretch feature allows you to stretch an audio clip without distorting its pitch. Normally, stretching audio clips to fit the project results in a distorted sound. The time stretch feature will make the audio clip sound like it is just played in a slower tempo.
Note: When you stretch an audio clip by 50-150%, the sound will not be distorted. However, if stretched below or above that range, the sound may be distorted.
To stretch the duration of an audio clip: 1. Click the Music & Voice tab in the Options Panel. 2. Click Playback Speed to open the Playback Speed dialog box. 3. Enter a value in Speed or drag the slider to change the speed of the audio clip. A slower speed makes the clips duration longer while a faster speed makes it shorter.
Tips: You can specify how long the clip will play in Time stretch duration. The speed of the clip will automatically adjust to the specified duration. This feature will not trim the clip when you specify a shorter time. You can stretch the time of an audio clip in the Timeline by holding [Shift] then dragging the yellow handles on the selected clip.
