VideoStudio Pro Choppy Playback

Post by ECC »

Hello,

Though I am a long time CorelDraw user I've recently download VideoStudio Pro trial. The problem I am having is importing a sequence of animation images (360 total at 30frames/sec) The images where render and exported from Lightwave3D (jpg)

The only way I found to import the images was through the capture button and that worked fine. Once that was done imported VS editor and exported to several formats...

the problem is the sequence is choppy and not smooth it is a wee bit choppy the 30 frames/sec imports fine but the final play back is not smooth as it should be. If I export directly to video from Lightwave the playback is smooth. I'd render direct from LW but LW is is a wee bit wonky at time when writing direct to video format. LW prefers direct to image then you would composite in a 3rd party program

I tried VS video at 60 frames, 15 frames that made no difference at all the same unsmooth playback

How do I import a sequence of images at 30/sec so then export so that the playback is smooth.

Just download AE and imported the image sequence and rendered out to avi the playback is smooth...I'd prefer to stick with Corel VS as the interface is simplified and I do not require all the bells and whistles over bloated Adobe software.

Need to resolve why VS playback is choppy even though it is playback correctly at 30F/sec.

Hi

Using the Capture Tab option I assume you choose Stop Motion – Import

This would save the images to a folder and insert a UIS file to the timeline.
(Ulead Image Sequence)

The other option would be to insert the images directly to the timeline, then change their duration to 1 Frame, unfortunately the default insert has a minimum duration of 1 sec.
How……….

1 / Deselect Auto add transition effect (F6 – Preferences) Edit Tab
2 / Right click the top timeline and select Insert Photo – Browse for your images
3 / Keyboard Ctrl + A will select all images
4 / Right Click selected images and choose Change Image Duration – set to 1 frame

Hr:Min:Sec:Frames (00:00:00:01)

5 / View the timelines in Storyboard will display the images as thumbnails, may be useful.
