Does anyone know if this new version will also have a filter to make video look like film?

I'm desperate for a filter that will do a 1/2 decent job on already shot videos.

Thanks for the link for the old film filter demo. I've used it in VS 8 quite a bit. That's not what I'm talking about, though.

What I'm looking for is a filter that makes color video look like it was shot on film.

Here's a filter product (aimed toward professionals) for Adobe Premiere that does that, but it's ourageously expensive.

It's got tons of bells and whistles that I don't need. I just want something to make already shot video a bit softer. Maybe the colors a tad muted. Whatever you need to make video look like it came from film. I certainly don't know enough about it to make individual adjustments of several filters to achieve the effect.

Many ask for this on Yahoo! video discussion groups. Is Ulead answering this desire with something in VS 10+ ?

Hello SteveJ

I had viewed the link you gave in reply to my bleat about fit and burn already. Trouble is that this only as far as I can see gives defined max bit rates Having tried this using the best option to fit a project to a 4.7GB disc the resultant DVD was of appalling replay quality. The best quality I have acheived is by using the freeware DVD Shrink which adjusts bit rate to fit a 4.7GB DVD. I like the capture and editing facilities of VS9 but am beginning to realise that DVD is not the best medium term archive/ quality output media. I am thinking of experimenting with outputting from VS9 to S-VHS which apart from 1 hr format DVD is certainly of better quality and gives me 3 hours on a tape!

I await the next generation!!

Any support for importing digital HD Transport Stream content (.ts files) or the ability to do Scene Split on HD content as it is captured.

I've got an HC1 and am waiting anxiously for the smart proxy.

Thanks!
David

I'm not sure on what you are looking for. If you are wanting that plug-in replicated then no. As you stated it is quite expensive, so I really don't think Ulead is going include that type of filter in a consumer editing app. Adobe doesn't do they?

VS 10 Plus will use Smart Proxy for HD Editing. However I'm not sure if it will support HD Transport Stream Content. I did not and still do not have an HD camcorder to test that.

I have and use DVD Shrink (Who doesn't?) it's good at what it does but you will get better results if you can get it to fit correctly in the first place with appropriate bit rate settings. If despite your best guestimate you are still a small amount out, then OK finish off the job with DVD shrink, but try and get as close to your target as you can beforehand.

Thank you

Dear Vidoman

As you appear to be a spokesman for ULead on this very important thread on this forum - why do you not also reply to my previous posts? Or are you going to shortly send me an e-mail inviting me to upgrade at xx$ just to clear functions I thought I got with VS9. I bought this product in a retail outlet in the EU so please read the trading standards regulations applying. If it says it will do it on the box or your website for VS9 then I should get it FOC irrespective of your company's upgrade/update policy. Alternatiively if VS10 solves the problems with VS9 I should get a FOC upgrade irrespective of the addded benefits! Alternatively I will return product to retailer (biggest in Europe) or please withdraw from marketing in EU!

Hi Dover,

First let me clear up a misunderstanding of yours...

I am a User not a rep of Ulead. I was fortunate to be one of several selected to Beta Test their next version. When the Beta testing was completed, I requested authorization and was granted it, to speak about VS10 here on this forum. I may have spoke a little early however, wanted to give the Users an idea of what is soon to come.

Now if you have an issue with Ulead you need to contact them via their website. I have no affiliation with Intervideo or Ulead, other then I really like their products, and enjoy helping those that are having problems.

***EDIT***

Doverwhite,
I just went back and re-read your prior post, which appears to be a complaint directed more towards the poster just before you, H.T. Chien. Given the tone of that, I felt it was best for a Ulead Rep if one were present on the forums to respond to your post...

Ron P.

Dear Steve J

Many thanks for your interest but if I can give the details it might help to explain my frustration and disappointment.

Firstly it says on the box that ULead fit and burn works- it doesn't so unless they fix this significant shotcoming they should not be moving to VS10 for which they are no doubt going to ask me for $$$ to upgrade!.

Using the "cogs" link to choose configurations on the project either gives a size of 6.8GB or 3.9 GB the former of which wont burn on ULead and the latter gives sub-VHS quality using the U-lead burner. If i convert the U-Lead generated mpeg to Video_TS and apply DVD Shrink and burn with another package the quality is a lot better but by my standards leaves a lot to be desired (it aint as good as second generation S-VHS!)

Hi Vidoman

Sorry to have misinterpreted your status in this thread. In your beta test of VS10 did you try fit and burn? It sure doesnt work on VS9, I hope your initiative in getting ULead to talk to me direct on this matter works. Apart fom the initial response to my first e-mail that stated that fit and burn was a known problem and they were working on a bug fix all my subsequent e-mails have received no response whatever. I have learnt more from the stickys and threads on this forum about the burning procedure than is even hinted at in the manual.

However I regard the use of forums such as this for users to suggest work arounds for errors in S/W that to my experience are basic functionallity and should therefore have been eradiacted in pre alpha testing is totally unacceptable.

Dover,

That's ok, however there are rep's of Ulead that do watch and participate in the forums, and sometimes if you base the number of posts on the person being a Ulead rep, well not accurate.

I do agree that the fit and burn does not work like one would think. It certainly does not compare to DVD Shrink. In a nutshell, it will work if you are just a little over-budget on size. I would guess that's how Ulead intended, not for taking 6gig and shrinking it to 4.3 gig. In answer to your question, have I tried it on VS10? No, I have not yet. I've got accustom to making sure my files are small, and was just an instinct on my part not to overload it. I knew in VS9 that a little over and it worked to squeeze some.

Maybe over the next couple of days I can throw together a project that is too large and see what happens. However it may/may not work in the beta version I have, and then vice-versa on the official release..

There is a post on one of the forums, It may be on the Cool 3D PS forum, where the issue of emailing/contacting Ulead. There email address is a dummy one, and has to be when you are dealing with thousands a day. The emails received in this manner is sorted and routed accordingly by a third party. Go to Ulead's website and complete the form, and you may be surprised...
