Quick start

If you want to dive into Corel VideoStudio right away, this tutorial will walk you through the key tasks. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

•Import video clips to the Library

•Add your clips and photos

•Review and trim your video clips

•Add titles

•Apply transitions

•Add music

•Save and share

The same basic steps can be applied to create a photo slideshow or any multimedia presentation that includes photos, video clips, and music.

For a quick movie, try the FastFlick. For more information, see “FastFlick” on page 223.

For more details about starting movie projects, see “Project basics” on page 51.

Import video clips to the Library

Let’s start with the most common situation—the shoot is done and you’ve transferred your video clips and photos from your camera to your computer. We can open Corel VideoStudio, and jump directly to the Edit workspace and the Library.

The Library is the source for all your media, including video clips, photos, and music. It also houses templates, transitions, effects, and a variety of other media assets that you can use in your projects.

1Click the Edit tab at the top of the application window to open the Edit workspace. The Library panel appears in the upper right corner of the application.

2Create a folder for your project to keep all your videos together by clicking the Add a new folder button .

3Type a name for the folder.

Note that the buttons at the top of the Library can be enabled and disabled to filter the thumbnails by video, photos, and music. If you don’t see the media you expect to see, check the state of these media buttons.

Add your clips and photos

Adding clips and photos to a video project is as easy as dragging thumbnails for the video clips and photos that you want to use from the Library to the Timeline.

If you’re looking for a way to get polished results quickly, you can use an Instant Project template. For more information, see “Using Instant Project templates” on page 53.

Review and trim your video clips

The key to a successful video is to keep it short enough to hold your viewer’s interest. Let’s review and trim the video clips.

1 In the Edit workspace, click a video clip in the Timeline.

2In the Navigation area of the Player panel, click Clip, and click the Play button.

3After you review the clip, drag the orange Trim Marker from the original starting position to the new starting position. The Scrubber moves to the selected frame and this frame displays in the Preview Window.

1. Trim Marker (one on each end). 2. Scrubber.

4Now drag the second Trim Marker from the original end position to the new end position.

5Click Play.

Note: Changes made to files imported into the Library do not affect the original files.

You can also trim video clips in the Timeline itself by dragging the end handles of a clip.

Want to edit a section in the middle? Try Multi-Trim Video. For more information, see “Trimming video into multiple clips” on page 105.

Add titles

Now let’s add a title.

1Drag the Scrubber to the position you want.

2Click the Title button to the left of the Library thumbnails.

3You can type directly in the Preview Window, but the easiest way to get a professional-looking title, is to drag one of the title thumbnails from the Library to the Title track in the Timeline.

4You can drag the title to any position in the Title track and adjust the duration of the title by dragging the end handles of the clip.

5To edit the title text, double-click the title clip in the Timeline, in the Preview Window, select the text and type new text. Keep the text inside the box that displays near the edges of the Preview Window (called the Title Safe area).

Hardware acceleration

Depending on your hardware specifications, Corel VideoStudio lets you optimize the performance of your system by optimizing hardware acceleration.

Hardware decoder and encoder acceleration is supported only by Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating system software and requires at least 512 MB of VRAM.

To change hardware acceleration settings

1Select Settings > Preferences [F6].

2Click the Performance tab and select the following options under

Editing Process and File Creation:

•Enable Hardware Decoder acceleration — enhances editing performance and improves clip and project playback by using video graphics acceleration technologies of the computer’s available hardware

•Enable Hardware Encoder acceleration — improves the rendering time required for producing your movies

Note: For optimum performance, VGA cards must support DXVA2 VLD mode with Vertex and Pixel Shader 2.0 or later.

If you want the program to automatically detect the hardware acceleration capabilities of your system and determine the

optimum settings, select all hardware acceleration options in

Performance Optimization, including Enable hardware acceleration optimization.

If the feature is not supported by your system, some hardware acceleration options will be grayed out.

Preparing for video editing

Video editing tasks require a lot of computer resources. Your computer must be properly set up to ensure successful capturing and smooth video editing. Below are some tips on how to prepare and optimize your computer before you launch Corel VideoStudio.

•It is recommended that you close other applications when working with Corel VideoStudio. To avoid interruptions while capturing, it is best to turn off any automatically launched software.

•If you have two hard drives in your system, it is recommended that you install Corel VideoStudio to your system drive (usually C:) and store captured videos on your other drive.

•It is recommended that you store video files on a dedicated hard drive.

•Increase the Paging File (Swap File) size to twice your amount of RAM.

When you are in Corel VideoStudio, you can choose settings that let you balance the quality of the playback and the speed of the application. For example, is your playback fast but fuzzy? Or is your playback too slow? The tips below can help you find the right settings in Corel VideoStudio.

•Clearer, higher quality playback is available if your computer system meets or exceeds the recommended system requirements. You can work with HD projects and you can preview your project in HD. For more information, see “Setting project properties” on page 55 and “Previewing your project or clips” on page 58.

•To speed up less powerful systems, consider using Smart Proxy and review the hardware acceleration options. For more

information, see “Using Smart Proxy for a faster, smoother editing experience” on page 57 and “Hardware acceleration” on page 15.
