Shimmering Output

I am enclosing a link to a very short sample video which I created with pan and zoom. Shared with mp4 1920x1080

It looks like your source images were from a very low resolution capture device. Please provide several of your source images.

I am enclosing the link to the Smart Package. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JQh ... ue&sd=true

But I do not understand: while I shared the video - I chose: mpeg4, Profile: mpeg 4 AVC (1920-1080 25 p 15 mbps).
What did I do wrong?

Thanks a lot for trying to help me. I realy do appreciate it

Your google drive link is not set to sharing so we have to request permission to download

Sorry but this is not the problem. I am taking pics in very high resolution.
Well, I am waiting for the official answer from Corel vs

Hi
Unfortunately you have only provided the VSP project file and not the images
When we create a Smart Package the program first prompts us to save the project this creates a VSP, a little confusing why it does that.
Then all clips within the project are copied to a new folder which also contains a copy of the VSP
It is this folder that is the Smart Package, and the one you need to provide for us.

However I can open the VSP/project to see the properties, you have them set to use a H.264 Baseline, at 8001kbps using H.264 High and 15000 kbps / 20000kpbs would be a better option, I believe better quality.

I have checked your video sample and that is using 1920 x 1080 H.264 High 15000kbps which should produce good video.

In addition go to Settings – Preferences (F6)- Edit Tab and set Resampling quality to Best

Video Studio is not the best at managing images and using very high resolution images does not really improve things as they are displayed using the project settings of 1920 x 1080 any higher resolutions being effectively discarded.
In addition zooming into an image also reduces the resolution again reducing quality.

To fully test this we do need the images you have used, that is the Smart Package folder.

By the way quality issues when using higher resolution images has been discussed before on the forums, ridiculous to say that using a lower resolution image, say 1920 x 1080 may produce clearer results as less of the resolution is discarded.

Your google drive link is not set to sharing so we have to request permission to download

ok. you got it

Yes i managed to download one file from your google drive link, but that was the vsp with no imsges.
It was not a smart package that would be a folder containing all clips used in the project.

Did you read my previous post

hi, I am enclosing the link for the smart package. Hopefully this time you will be able to see all of it.

I think this time you will be able to see my full smart package.

Yes, I read your previous answer. Thanks

Your link is to a google account, I do not normally use Google and when I do use a Tablet not my desktop pc
The link you provide requires me to "request access".
You should be able to provide a link that does not require me to request access.

Your first link on September 3rd worked ok and gave a download to all irrespective of having a google account.

Sorry for that. Now I gave you access. Frankly, I do not know why google requests an access.
Here is the open link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/186WlJH ... sp=sharing

the choice of access is given by yourself when creating the share link.
Your first link on 3rd Sept worked ok.

The problem is that for those who do not use google cannot download your files as I believe they need a google account
Other people may have a delay whilst you give access to them, there could be quite a delay whilst that happens.

Just downloaded the file.....

Sorry.... again you have only provided the VSP, no Smart Package.

When you create a Smart Package you have a choice to Zip the folder, chose that, then upload the Zip file to Google.

Thank you, I can now download the zip folder that contains the vsp and images.
Images are 4608 x 3456 high resolution, the main problem is using those on a 1920 X 1080 project.
The program only displays your images as 1920.
If your images were indeed 1920 x 1080 they would look better than using 4608, strange but true.

Have you considered using the project as 4K that would increase the project resolution to be near the image resolution, quality of the slide show would / should improve.

I also noticed you had zoomed into the image as a starting point, that effectively cropped the image, that would reduce quality

It is getting a little late in the day for me to do further tests, but tomorrow i will render your project to see what results I can get.
