I have been regular user of Video Studio for many years and really like it.
However since "moving on" to AVCHD & Blu-ray editing I have had many problems which cause me to ask questions and following recomendations I tried "other" software.
Can anyone tell me what is the matter with Video studio when handling AVCHD files . Yes I know they are much more difficult file to process and require very powerful computer,
However I am using the same computer for my comparison .
The bigest difference I find is with Cyberlink Power Director ver 7,
This software imports the AVCHD file almost immeadiatly and they are available and easy to edit right away, No "Proxy file" or anything and then I can burn a Blu - ray straight away .
As everyone knows this is just not possible with Video Studio .
What I want to know is "Why not". because I always like Video Studio .
My Computer specs are below
Gigabyte P35-DQ6 Motherboard
Intel core 2 Quad Q9550
4GB Corsair DDR2 PC8500Mhz
1 Terrabyte Samsung SATA 2 Hard Drive
HIS Ati Radeon HD 4850 Graphics Card
Windows Vista 32 bit
comparison of Video editing software

While I too am interested in the 'why not' question, I doubt if anyone here is in a position to offer a fact-based answer since none of us work for Corel, and are just users like you.
I am also interested in your experience with Cyberlink, and had been contemplating downloading a trial to see what happened with AVCHD -- and particularly AVCHD from a Panasonic SD9 camera, which won't even play erratically for more than a few seconds in VS11.5+. Like Clevo, I am also waiting to see what comes with VS12...
I suppose the one query in my mind about the Cyberlink product is whether AVCHD handling is equally good for people with computers less powerful than yours (which is of course more powerful than my own Quad 6600).

Just on the Panasonic SD9 point.
There have been complaints on a few forums regarding the AVCHD's produced by this cam so they must be doing something prorietary with the files. I know that Cyberlink have already produced a specific patch for that problem in PD7 and it is apparently handling them fine now.
Here's hoping VS12 has been created with this knowledge and will be ok for it too.

Hi Ken
Thanks for your input,
Downloading Cyberlink is a good idea because that's what I did but unfortunatly the Power Director ver 7 "trial" I downloaded did not include AVCHD file processing and was very much restricted in use,
After a while I did manage to try the "proper version" that I borrowed from a mate who bought it and as such it worked well.
It is quite a good program but when (like you) we have been used to Video Studio for many years I am reluctant to change and VS does seem to me to have more options except perhaps in the "menu" area for Blu-ray.
However the performance compared to VS is outstanding
But I wish you would try Cyberlink as I would appreciate your opinion

The demo supports AVCHD but it does not smart render it. Nobody seems definitively to know whether the full version will. And there seems to be a question mark over audio sync for AVCHD.
One day before I shuffle off this mortal coil I will see a video editing program that plays smoothly, edits with full function, and smart renders any AVCHD footage that one throws at it. But it's not been released yet as far as I am aware. Every program has a catch - some element that makes it not quite the dream package.
Who can tell, maybe the next VideoStudio release will be The One?!

Hi,
I've been playing with Sony Vegas MovieStudio Platinum 9a (uploaded this week), finally this version of the studio works with AVCHD and Blu-Ray. They still have a little way to go as I find the editor much easier to use and quicker than VS11.5+ but there is no way to create a AVCHD/Blu_Ray disc with a menu on it as the Architect software only supports SD on this version... little silly really...
Like everyone here I'm interested to see what the next version of video studio has to offer and would like to be able to edit AVCHD files in real time without creating a proxy file first like you can do in Vegas.
Fingers crossed eh, i'd also like to see the DVD creation utility separate from the main application I just don't like having the whole thing open.
