Questions about MSP 7.0 SP2

[bskousen]

I have installed SP2 with no problems, but cannot seem to find some of the new enhancements.

1. Where is the new album transition? I looked in the transition folder and don't see it there.

2. Is the new Pan & Zoom feature the same as the old Moving Path feature? It sounds like the same thing, but can't find it.

3. Has anyone used the two-pass filter when rendering and does it provide a superior quality?

4. What exactly is auto-deinterlace? Is it something you have to manually check or is it done automatically?

5. Are there any plugin filters for using Hollywood FX in MSP 7.0 SP2? I also use Liquid Edition which includes Hollywood FX. I would love to use them in MSP because, IMHO, they are superior in quality.

6. I have made many videos using still images. To give the images a more professional look, I use Moving Path in order to zoom and pan & scan around the image. The only downside is that the images "flicker" when they are moving. What I mean is that any horizontal or verticle line will oscillate (move slightly). I don't see any of this going on in a Ken Burns documentary when they are using pan & scan on an image. How can this be illiminated or at least reduced?

7. Does SP2 yet support 5.1 Dolby Digital. I know it supports 2.0. I really need 5.1 Dolby Digital.

Thanks.

I have bought two versions of HollywoodFX a long time ago, one with a dongle 3,12, one with a key- version 4.5 silver

To use HFX in MSP you must have an hfx[Version].vfx file in your vfx_plug directory.

Since Pinnacle overtakes HollywoodFX in my opinion the last version which works with MSP is HFX 4.5. Here was a small program available, which produced the right link file for a lot of different editors.

You can ask Pinnacle, but i believe, if they will support you, you have to pay for a complete new version.

Its really a pain that all the small companies with fine products get captured from the big sharks alike Synergy Internationial, PowerQuest, Steinberg, ...

bskousen:

1-For some strange reason that happened to me also.
Go this way:
Try deleting these two Media studio files from
C:\Documents and Settings\*your name*\Application Data\Ulead Systems\Ulead MediaStudio Pro\7.0

EFFBAS.TEG and ULVFX40.DAT

these will essentially 'reset' Media Studio, and if all was installed correctly, new features will show up in the transition effects.
2- No, it is really different and better
5- Hollywod Fx is only supported in MSP7 until v. 4.5.8

Hope this helps
