Working with HD
High-Definition video offers exceptional video quality that is catching the attention of consumers. However, HD also presents challenges in terms of increased complexity and demands on PC resources. VideoStudio 11 Plus helps users have a positive HD experience, whether capturing or importing their video, editing and authoring, or outputting it to tape or disc.
HD workflow in the VideoStudio Editor
HD workflow in the Movie Wizard
Capture and Import HD VideoStudio captures from the latest camcorders and devices, whether they record on tape, disc, hard drive or memory card, and supports both HDV and AVCHD formats. Users can import MPEG-2 HD and WMV-HD files. Edit HD Editing HD is achieved either natively or by creating proxy files. AVCHD for instance, comes in 2 flavors: the hard-drive camcorders produce a file with an.m2s extension, and the DVD versions produce an.m2ts file. In both cases, VideoStudio converts these transport stream files during import from the camcorder to an editable format, without affecting quality. Output HD VideoStudio 11 Plus can output the most important HD file formats for playback from hard drive or recording back to HDV camcorder. Author & Burn HD DVD Authoring and burning high-definition video to HD DVD discs is now as easy as producing standard DVDs. HD productions can be burned to HD DVDs, or to low-cost DVD discs on standard DVD burners. This creates a 3X DVD that holds about 40 minutes of full-res HD video, and plays back on an HD DVD player.

VideoStudio Launcher

Three Ways to Make Movies
Shared by both VideoStudio 11 and VideoStudio 11 Plus, the Launcher makes things simple from the word go. It offers users three ways to make movies and slideshows: The main VideoStudio Editor, the Movie Wizard and the DV-to-DVD Wizard.
VideoStudio Editor gives users all the tools they need to produce great-looking home movies. An easy, step-by-step workflow helps people spend their time being creative rather than learning technical editing. Movie Wizard is ideal for users new to video editing. Attractive theme templates create professional opening sequences. Users can quickly create entertaining photo slideshows with Smart Pan & Zoom. The Movie Wizard creates a complete movie on only three steps.
The VideoStudio 11 Launcher
DV-to-DVD Wizard The fastest way from DV camcorder to DVD. As simple as hooking up a camcorder and choosing the clips you want, in just two steps the Wizard delivers a finished DVD complete with menus, titles, transitions and music.
This Reviewers Guide starts by looking at the DV-to-DVD Wizard & Movie Wizard and then talks about the VideoStudio Editor

Page 8

DV-to-DVD Wizard
For users who want to transfer a group of clips from tape to DVD or simply burn an entire tape to DVD the DV-to-DVD Wizard is the fastest way to go.
Select Burn whole tape, and the DV-to-DVD Wizard will burn the entire tape on to a DVD in one pass.
To start, users hook up their DV camcorder and click Start Scan. The software scans the tape at up to 11x speed depending on the camcorder. Users can then review the thumbnails to select the clips they want included on their disc. The next step is to select a theme template, choose quality and burning options, and click Start DV-to-DVD Wizard now goes to work capturing the selected clips, applying a movie template, authoring a DVD with a menu, and burning a finished DVD all of which happens with no further input needed from the user. (For users who really just want to get the contents of an entire tape on to a DVD in a hurry, the Burn whole tape feature burns directly from tape to DVD, eliminating the scanning and selection steps.) Finally, users can save the scan results, called digests, for reference or re-use. Printing the digests is a great way to create a record of all the shots on a tape.

Quick Scan Digest

Movie Wizard

The Movie Wizard automatically creates finished movies and slideshows in just three steps. It is ideal for users new to video editing or when they just want to quickly produce a DVD for family and friends. Making a slideshow, or video, or a combination of the two, is simple. The Movie Wizard provides complete capture tools, including capturing from HDV and importing from AVCHD camcorders in VideoStudio 11 Plus. NEW! Also found in the VideoStudio 11 Plus Movie Wizard are Multi-overlay Templates. These take the first clip from the video or slideshow, and automatically create a sophisticated picture-in-picture opening sequence with music and motion. It would take hours to create this in a traditional professional editing package! Whats New in the Movie Wizard HD support Multiple-overlay templates
The Movie Wizard gives users a wide choice of movie templates. The VideoStudio11 Plus Movie Wizard now supports multiple overlay tracks.

Easy Slideshows

To make a slideshow, users insert digital photos, arrange them in the order that they like, choose a suitable template and customize the titles. The Movie Wizard does the rest. Users get a slideshow complete with pan & zoom effects and transitions. For simple slideshow, VideoStudio offers templates with a minimum of effects, including several with no titles or openings at all.
Special templates for slideshows

Editing Videos in the Movie Wizard
The Movie Wizard also offers the Multi-Trim Editor with AccuCut Editing and, in the VideoStudio 11 Plus Movie Wizard, the Ad-Zapper, for picking the best scenes from longer clips and removing commercials from captured TV programs.

Output Options

The final step in the Movie Wizard is output.
Users can choose to Create Video File on their hard drive, to play on their PC or output to the Web or a mobile device.
Running the Create Disc function lets users author and burn a DVD. Authoring will be covered later in this Reviewers Guide.
Even experienced editors often use the Wizard to get a project started, and then choose the option Edit in Ulead VideoStudio Editor. This imports the entire project into the editor, with full control over overlays, music, titles, and more.

Import from AVCHD and DVD
AVCHD Import: VideoStudio 11 Plus imports AVCHD from Sony or Panasonic cameras by connecting directly to the camera, and recognizing the DVD file structure on the hard drive, DVD disc or SD card. This makes it easy to select and import just the clips you want. In the Capture setup, select Import from DVD/DVD-VR, then click on IMPORT and find the AVCHD device. During import, VideoStudio will seamlessly import the AVCHD H.264 video in an editable format, without quality loss. Users can also import DVD video directly from a DVD disc or from DVD Folders copied to a PC hard drive.
NEW! When importing from DVD, DVD Sub-Title capture lets you import the subtitles in the language of your choice from a DVD, and embeds them with the video.

Page 13

Powerful Editing

Enhanced Timeline View

In VideoStudio 11 Plus, users have up to 6 overlay tracks available. This is useful to create plenty of impressive picturein-picture and montage effects. Clicking the Expand button expands the timeline view, so the user can see all the overlay tracks for accurately positioning overlays and audio.

Expand Button

The Multi-Trim Editor
The Multi-Trim Editor has always been praised as the fastest way to trim multiple clips out of a long piece of video. It is also well suited for general trimming. In VideoStudio 11 Plus, Multi-Trim editing also includes Ad-Zapper, a scanning tool that runs through a clip and automatically detects the TV commercials. Ad-Zapper splits ads off as separate clips so they can be deleted singly or in groups.
Ad-Zapper finds ad breaks for removal.
AccuCut Zoom and Jog/Shuttle Controls are responsive, making it easy to find cut points on long clips.
Extract multiple segments from clips.

Page 14

NEW! White Balance and Auto Tone
Having those great party shots on tape somehow isnt as satisfying if its all dark and you cant see a thing, or those lovely baby shots are all blue because the camera didnt adjust the white balance properly. Clicking on Color Correction opens the White balance & Auto-Tone dialog where users can automatically correct the color and tonal range (curves) of videos that were recorded in low light or poor white balance conditions. The White balance tool includes an eyedropper with which users can select a white point to adjust the rest of the color in the image, as well as presets for common lighting conditions.
Auto Tone Adjustment evens out the exposure range for video with contrast problems or which was shot in low light. These tools were adapted from the HDR technology in Uleads flagship image editor, PhotoImpact.

NEW! Overlay Preview Window There is a new overlay preview feature which shows the original clip in a small window, making it much easier to experiment with different white balance settings until the desired effect is achieved.

Page 15

Video Filters
The quality of video that users wish to work with varies greatly. Backing up old VHS tapes to DVD is an excellent way to preserve family memories, but tape degrades and the resulting images are often noisy and grainy. Also, people often want to repurpose digital footage that has been compressed a few times, leaving blocky artifacts on the screen. VideoStudio 11 has several corrective filters to o get the best from heavily compressed or older material. NEW! DeBlock Filter cleans up video with blocky compression artifacts, such as movies copied from VCD or the internet.
DeBlock Filter NEW! DeSnow Filter removes digital noise from video shot in poor light or copied from analog sources.
DeSnow Filter Also very welcome is the Anti-Shake Filter. Shaky video is probably the most common problem inexperienced users experience. This filter helps to smooth things out for them.

Anti-Shake Filter

Page 16

Transitions

VideoStudio has over 150 preset transition effects that users can drag from the library and drop between clips. Virtually all are customizable in some fashion. Some of the most interesting are the Mask Transitions. These produce soft-edged wipes and transitions in all kinds of shapes like leaves, snowflakes and arrows that are highly customizable.
Mask Transitions let users match transitions to content
Users can use the supplied masks or create their own color or b&w bitmaps for use with mask transitions.
NEW! My Favorites Folder Under Transitions, there is now a My Favorites Folder where users can save the transitions they use most often.
Other innovative transition effects include Flashback, combining glow effects with fades, and Album transitions that let users turn pages between scenes.

Album Transition

NEW! Apply to all transitions Right-click on any transition in the library and apply to the entire project. Users can even choose to Replace all, or apply only to remaining cuts so the transitions you chose before are not removed. Double clicking a transition in the Library automatically inserts it into the first open space in the current project. In Preferences (F6) users can set a default transition when clips are added to projects.

Save time by applying transitions to multiple clips.

Page 17

Overlays
With six overlay tracks, users can get creative with, say, four videos in picture-in-picture, plus a frame and even a Flash animation effect. VideoStudio offers a great deal of flexibility for overlays, including resizing and, in VideoStudio 11 Plus, distorting clips. Overlays can now also have combined effects, such as transparency and chroma key.
Motion, spin and fade controls.
Green handles distort video. Yellow handles resize.
Mark-in / mark-out points set overlay pause duration.
NEW! When adjusting overlay clips, VideoStudio 11 and VideoStudio 11 Plus now offer the very useful Preview Window for overlays which shows the original overlay image, making it easier to adjust chroma key and other settings.
Overlay Objects & Frames
The VideoStudio library includes a set of Flash animations, clip-art decorations and frames to use in overlay tracks. Overlay tracks support alpha channel graphics so its easy to create additional overlay objects.

Mask and Chroma Key

The Chroma Key feature automatically detects the background color of clips, so users can do their own magic overlay effects. The background does not have to be green or blue any solid-color wall will do. It also offers the option to crop off extra bits from the edges.

Page 18

Titles
Creating titles is as easy as dragging a preset title from the library onto the title track, or just double-clicking the preview window and typing. Users can overlay several titles at once, each with different font, style, border, shadow and transparency settings, and animation behavior! Titles can have solid or gradient backdrops. Stroking (outlining) of on-screen text provides for more legible titles. Users can also import and export project titles in standard subtitle format.
Individual titles may be animated separately to fly, swing or fade - in 8 different animation styles with hundreds of variations.
Gridlines help with positioning titles on screen. Mark-in and markout points on the navigation panel control title animation pauses. Titles can now also be rotated for a more unique look.
Style presets The Title Library provides ready-to-customize titles in a variety of styles. Position and rotate titles
NEW! The Unicode character set enables multi-language titles, with double-byte Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters now supported.

Page 19

In the Audio tab, users can add audio to the Music and Voice tracks. VideoStudio can import audio clips in common formats, rip tracks from audio CDs, and record voiceovers on-the-fly using a microphone. Importing from audio CDs supports CD information from the Internet, such as track titles, artists, genres and dates.
Users can adjust the Playback Speed, and apply Audio Filters, including Remove Noise to clean up tracks, plus Volume Leveling and Reverb to enhance the sound. A Pitch Shift filter raises or lowers the key of audio clips without altering their length.
CD info from the Internet

Auto music

The Auto Music tab in the Options Panel shows the Auto Music Maker by SmartSound (www.smartsound.com). VideoStudio provides a library of 26 royalty-free music styles, each with a range of variations. The Auto Music function, like Audio Filters, is only available when VideoStudio is in Timeline View. The greatest advantage of using SmartSound is that it will create a complete piece of music with a beginning, middle and end, and match it exactly to the length of your project. If the user drags it longer or shorter, it will continue to retain its correct musical structure.
SmartSound Auto Music creates royaltyfree soundtracks automatically.

Audio View

Switching to Audio view opens the Surround Sound Mixer. The Surround Sound Mixer lets users adjust the levels or steer audio of individual audio tracks. Selecting the track icon on the left of the panel changes the color of the icon in the sound field.
Audio view also enables waveform display. Selecting a track in audio view changes the rubber band line to Red. Users can add key frames directly in the timeline to change audio levels. Changing to Project mode in the Navigation Panel (or clicking the Play button in the Surround Sound Mixer) changes the rubber band line to Blue. In Blue mode, users can change levels for the entire track by positioning the scrub line at the beginning of the track and adjusting the Mixer sliders. This is the technique used in tip presented to the right.
Your Own Surround Tracks! A simple technique for creating 5.1 tracks for home movies with background music: Leave the audio from the camcorder video untouched, then select the background music in the music track. Zero the center channel level and reduce the overall level by 6 or 12 db. This will play the camcorder (dialogue) mostly on the center channel, while providing a pleasing surround experience of the background music.

Page 20

The Share tab provides all the options for outputting video. Create Video File VideoStudio 11s wide file format support ensures highquality output to WMV or MPEG-4 templates for iPod, PSP and other mobile devices. It also includes several highdefinition video formats, such as MPEG-2 HD, HDV and WMV-HD. The custom option gives users access to full codec settings. Users can create new presets in the Make Movie Manager in the Tools menu.

Share Options Panel

NEW! MPEG Optimizer When choosing MPEG as the output format, VideoStudio will analyze the video on the timeline and make an intelligent recommendation which frame size and bitrate to use, to ensure the most efficient encoding.
Export to Mobile device Choose from a selection of MPEG-4 and WMV presets and then invoke the Mobile device interface to find connected devices. It directly supports iPod, Zune, PSP, Nokia Video Phones, and PDAs. Share Video Online Upload videos to sharing site Neptune.com. (Users can also use sites like YouTubes own uploading utilities.) DV/HDV recording Connect an HDV or DV camcorder and write back to tape. VideoStudio 11 supports writing back to DVD camcorders while VideoStudio 11 Plus allows users to write to both DV and HDV camcorders.

DV and HDV Recording

Smart Project Package When users are done with their project, the Smart Project Package tool in the File menu backs up a complete folder with project file and all related media where you can archive it and easily recover it for further editing.

DVD and HD DVD Authoring

Create Disc

VideoStudio has matured into a powerful DVD authoring tool and shares many of the advanced authoring features found in Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6, including support for high definition HD DVD discs in VideoStudio 10 Plus.
Add media to DVD projects from a variety of sources including VideoStudio project files, existing video clips, non-copyprotected video from AVCHD, DVD-Video or DVD-VR discs and, as in the Capture and Share steps, video from mobile devices. Users choose a disc format from a list in the bottom left hand corner of the authoring wizard, where they can also switch between standard and widescreen aspect ratios for DVDs.

Creating 3X DVD Discs

This is just one of the really cool things users can do in VideoStudio 11 Plus. Capture and edit HD footage, select HD DVD in preferences, and author an HD DVD project. In the final burning step, all you need to do is insert a standard DVD, and VideoStudio will burn a DVD 3X disc that can play about 20 minutes of HD video on an HD DVD player like the Toshiba HD-A1 or the Xbox 360 add-on player. It will also play full-res HD on your PC with a software player such as WinDVD 8 HD DVD.

Menu Authoring

VideoStudio now provides full creative control over menu elements. Users can resize, reposition, rotate and even distort menu buttons and text on-screen. VideoStudio 11 provides a great-looking selection of professionally-designed 16:9 widescreen and 4:3 menu templates, simple click-and-type on-screen text entry, and the ability to create moving menu backgrounds and button labels.
Menu objects and text can be freely positioned, rotated and distorted for an eye-catching layout.
Users can add motion filters or Pan & Zoom effects to bring still image menu backgrounds to life.

Page 22

The Perfect Menu Every Time
VideoStudio 11 comes with a rich set of DVD Menu templates in both 4:3 and 16:9 that can be used as is, or freely customized. Mix and match from over 110 background images, 11 layouts, 11 sets of navigation buttons, and 12 frame types, for literally millions of possible combinations! For users, that means fresh menu designs that perfectly suit their videos, every time!
Unique! SmartScene Menus feature one large preview screen for the movie titles on a DVD.

Unique! Menu Transitions

Menu-in and Menu-out transitions give DVDs smooth, professional transitions from menus to video contents and back.
