Goodbye UVS: Ulead programmers please read!

[tyga32]

Hi Peter.........I totally agree with you. I have had the same problems with mpeg files from my sony DVD camera....very very frustrating. I have just completed a project using a tip that I received from this forum........it works but I cannot use ANY transitions and I have to split the audio scene by scene........something I should not have to do with a program of this quality.........yes...there should be warnings on the packaging saying this product is not really designed for DVD cameras........this program costs a lot of money and I cant afford to just throw it away and try and find something else...I can only hope that a FREE update is forthcoming from Ulead.

Most companies offer free trials of their software. It is best to "try before you buy" to make sure it is compatible with your system.

How do you frameserve?....

Be interesting if you can do a short "How to" if you have time.

Hi Steve
That's very easy:
-install debugmode frameserver(www.debugmode.com) AFTER you have installed UVS otherwise UVS will not detect the new file type that it can export.
-After you have finished editing in UVS then go to "share" and export your project to the new debugmode file type(avi).
-At this stage just a small avi file will be generated but no rendering will be performed.
-run external mpeg2 encoder like TMPGEnc and specify the debugmode avi as the input file. Then configure TMPGEnc as usual to encode an mpeg2 file from it. During encoding UVS will "send" all frames via the avi-file to TMPGEnc but the avi file will only be some kb big.

You should also state that VS needs to remain opened after you select the avi server to serve the frames to.
The way it's worded one may think they have to close & exit VS.
But the debugmode frameserver comes with instructions.

So in a manner of speaking its a bit like using a VideoStudio project file but in another application. Instead of creating a VideoStudio project file you instead create a frameserver.avi file which you then open in the other application.

So if you want to do something that perhaps exists in VideoStudio but not in - lets say Adobe Premier (or one of the other Video Editors like Sony Vegas, Pinnacle Studio, Cyberlink Power Director etc) but that other editor has something that doesn't exist in VideoStudio. You do what you can with the one program. Create a frameserver.avi file, open it with the other program and keep working on it.

So in essence you have now got a Big Video Editing Program
e.g. Cyberlink VideoStudio
or VideoStudioPremier
etc.

I have only tested the frameserver functionality with an external mpeg2 encoder but I am not sure whthwer your expectations are correct.
I think that frameserving is the same than exporting your timelines/your whole project as uncompressed avi but without creation of the huge avi file. Instead UVS just "delivers" frame after frame to the other application and just uses the avi file to teporarely store this frame. Therefore the other application needs to read the avi-file sequencially from start to end(like when encoding to mpeg2). I am not sure whether you can "frameserve" a complete UVS project to Adobe Premier as Adobe would want to access each frame at any time??? But that'S just my assumtion.
