There’s also a facility for using a DSLR to create Stop Motion. Corel has created a Path Library that provides thumbnail previews of paths, making it easy to select the one you want to use. But it’s great to see it nonetheless, particularly in such a user-friendly format. This isn’t such a unique feature at this price, as Adobe Premiere Elements has had it for a while.
But it’s still an amazing inclusion at this price.Īlongside this facility is the ability to customise your motion paths and save them as presets. We found the tracker had trouble with extremely fast motion, and it’s a complicated procedure so you do need to read instructions to use it. You can also apply a mosaic effect, for example to blur out a number plate or face. For example, you could have nametags follow people across the screen. You can also add a title to the overlay track and use the Match Motion option to track the movement. The software will then create a motion path automatically, which you can follow with a picture-in-picture video or photo. Motion Tracking lets you define a point or area to track.
Perhaps the most surprising new addition is the automatic Motion Tracking feature, something something you would previously have expected to see only in high-end compositing tools like Adobe After Effects. QuickTime with alpha channels is also supported, so you can import overlay footage with embedded transparency. On a more mainstream front, VideoStudio now supports AVCHD 2.0, including the 3D standard added in this format as well as 50p and 60p Full HD. You can also output 4K in AVC and MPEG-4 formats.
You can import RAW files, too, although not RED camera files, which isn’t surprising for consumer-grade editing software. We tried 4K footage from a GoPro HERO3 Black Edition and the software had no issues with playback and editing. Starting with the latter, Corel VideoStudio X6 now supports Ultra HD (4K). With X6, some key features have been added to give the adventurous video maker more high-end options, as well as keeping the application up to date with the latest video formats. Since Ulead Systems was purchased by Corel in 2006, and the higher-end Media Studio was discontinued in 2008, VideoStudio has strengthened its position as a true enthusiast’s video editor. The software has come a long way since being the application most frequently bundled with video capture cards in the 1990s. It’s incredible to think that VideoStudio is now in its 16th incarnation (the X adds ten to the 6 in the name).
