The big picture

Editing video in computers used to be dominated by professionals only. Nowadays, with the introduction to video editing software programs such as Ulead VideoStudio, editing video in your computer is easy and fun, even if you’re new to the digital video world!

An introduction to Digital Video

Tens of millions of camcorders have been sold around the world and computers have become standard fare in the home. It hasn’t taken long for video capture cards to make the connection between the two. So what’s the big deal with Digital Video (DV)?

The viewing area of the DV is big in 720x480 pixels, with more than 500 horizontal resolution and PCM 16 / 12 -bit stereo sound. For the DV camcorders themselves, they are usually compact and lightweight. In addition, the tiny DV tape is easy to carry, and its digital record and playback format, are superior to analog ones such as High-8, 8mm, S-VHS and VHS. What’s more, capturing DV data into your computer or recording back to your DV camcorder is simple through the IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire or i.LINK) interface card, in a purely digital form without loss of quality. No wonder DV has taken the world by storm, becoming the format of choice for enthusiasts.

DV camcorders

That’s why Ulead VideoStudio fully supports DV editing. You can even control your camcorder with Ulead VideoStudio and the mouse! (See page 13 for details on setting up VideoStudio.)

Video storage media

THE BIG PICTURE

Yet, what about those long existing analog camcorders, tapes, as well as other analog video sources like TV and VCR? VideoStudio doesn’t leave them behind. Through an analog video capture card, you can still capture, edit and record your video in VideoStudio.

An introduction to MPEG

Another recent development is MPEG. Ulead VideoStudio gives you the power to edit MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 movies with amazing frame-accurate technology. The wide availability of CD-Recordable (CD-R) allows anyone to create their own Video CD (VCD). Ulead VideoStudio lets you create WhiteBook standard MPEG-1 (Video CD 2.0) movies that are ready to be written to a VCD.

Ulead VideoStudio

Ulead VideoStudio also allows you to create amazing DVD quality movies using the MPEG-2 format, which is also used in the upcoming digital television era. Start by capturing MPEG-2 video straight from your camcorder (depending on your video capture card’s capabilities, see page 26), then trim and edit your movie with frame accuracy. Finally, take advantage of DVD quality (see page 64) to create your final MPEG-2 movie.

ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE

How VideoStudio works

VideoStudio follows a step-by-step paradigm. By working on one step at a time, editing tasks remain uncomplicated throughout the entire process, from start to finish. What’s more, editing your video on the computer offers the ease of mouse clicks, drag and drop operations, as well as cut and paste operations. VideoStudio also offers more than a hundred transition effects, professional titling capabilities and simple soundtrack creation tools. Learn in seconds, create in minutes.

Getting video off your camera and onto your PC’s hard drive is the first step in creating digital video. This process is known as capturing video. You will also need a video capture card, so your computer can receive and interpret the video data from your camera. To make sure that everything works properly, follow your capture card’s installation instructions.

Ulead VideoStudio workspace

A section of video captured to your computer is known as a video clip. You can scroll through your movie as easily as you do a Web page in a browser. With little effort, you can edit frame by frame, as well as change the order of scenes using the drag and drop method.

A video clip

THE BIG PICTURE

Putting a transition effect between clips is as easy as select and apply. Adding Title with customized text titles or even video clips. And with a few more clicks, you can animate your titles to scroll or fade.

Ulead VideoStudio breaks your movie up into separate tracks, which gives you broad creative freedom. While your video probably already has a sound track, adding a voiceover narration brings clarity to your personal videos. Better still, add background music off your favorite music CDs to set the mood in your movie. These tracks are independent, so changes to one track don’t affect the other.

All of the tracks in your movie are organized into a video project file. This project file (*.VSP) contains all of the information about how your movie is put together, including all video and audio files made within VideoStudio. Yet, the project file itself is not your actual movie. All of the edits you make in your project do not affect the original clips themselves. This means that you can trim and edit without fear of making permanent changes to your original clips. When it is all ready to go, your computer collects all of the information together to create your final video file at your designated location. This process is called rendering.

So just follow along in Ulead VideoStudio’s step-by-step path. You’ll find that your friends are amazed at the professional quality of your home movies. The only question you’ll hear more often than “How’d you do that?” is “When’s the sequel?”

ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE

Whats New?

Find out the latest features and enhancements in VideoStudio and take advantage of them right away!

• Reusable template from a video file - When you’re opening a new project, you can directly

take the settings from an existing video file such as an AVI or an MPEG file. This avoids the hassles about getting the right settings, and helps to maintain the same quality of the movies you make.

• Automatic plug-and-play capture device detection - Whenever you change to a capture

device source that uses Microsoft DirectShow driver (applicable to most DV camcorders), VideoStudio instantly detects it as a new capture plug-in. So, you don’ t have to change the plug-in manually, as well as close and reopen VideoStudio.

• Fast batch video capture - If you need to capture a number of sections from a DV tape, this

feature is your best choice. All you need is to set the Mark in and Mark out points for all the sections you want, and capture them all at once!

• Scene change detection for video capture - Breaks a video file (DV formatted AVI only)

into several clips automatically whenever there is a recording date and time change. This helps you better manage your video, because in many cases the scene change is the beginning of another theme on your DV tape.

• Seamless capture - If you’re using Windows 98, Me or 2000, capturing DV is no longer

limited to maximum 4 GB at a time. Once the size of a captured DV has reached 4 GB, VideoStudio automatically continues the capture process by saving the captured video to another file. So, no matter how long your video is, capturing is a one-time process.

• Customized library folders - Lets you create personal folders in libraries for managing files.

• Next generation processor compliant - Supports improved multimedia capabilities such as

digital video decoding and encoding, if your computer uses the Intel’s next generation processor (Williamette CPU).

• Powerful video filters - Besides the effects to be inserted between video clips, VideoStudio

now provides video filters that can be applied to clips themselves directly. These filters change the appearance or style of clips, giving you more varieties in presenting the clips.

• Enhanced titles - In VideoStudio, the Title step is no longer limited to plain text only. You

can also place video or image files into your movie. These inserted files can even have transparent background, or blend with the original video clip in a special moving path. For normal text titles, shadows and borders are now included to give you more choices in changing text appearance.

• Better streaming video support - Creates a movie that uses the latest streaming video

technologies, including the Streaming RealVideo (*.rm) and the Streaming Windows Media (*.wmv). These formats replace the previously known active streaming format (*.asf or *.asx), and help to maintain uninterrupted transmission of video files over networks such as the Internet.

WHAT’S NEW?

• Convenient right-click menu - Provides quick access to commands such as copy, paste,

delete and properties when you right-click a video clip, title, or audio track. The rightclicking commands are available in both Storyboard and Timeline modes, as well as the libraries.

• Improved workspace - Provides better organized program appearance when the screen uses

high resolution: 1024 x 768. Under this mode, you can see more thumbnails in the library at the same time for your convenience.

• Make Movie Manager - Displays a customized list of video file format templates. You then,

don’t need to spend time in setting options every time you make a movie.

• Flexible project settings - Once you have set the properties of a project, you can still change

them later at any time. This gives you worry-free flexibility whenever you need to make property changes.

• Mark in / out during playback - Now you can directly set the beginning or the ending point even when a video clip is being played. To do so, just click the Set mark in / out buttons or the F3 / F4 key respectively to trim a video right away.

Hardware checkup before using

VideoStudio

With the advent of Digital Video (DV), it has never been easier to capture, edit, and record video on your PC. Follow the installation instructions of your IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire or i.LINK) interface card, and consult your camcorder’s manual for the proper hardware installation procedures. This is crucial as correct hardware settings are a must to ensure VideoStudio runs properly in your computer, especially if you’re using a DV camcorder and an IEEE 1394 card. So, find out which operating system (O/S) you’re using and then go to the Control Panel: Systems - Device Manager from your O/S. Here you need to check if all the listed devices below have been properly installed.

Windows 95

VideoStudio does not support Windows 95. Please upgrade to a newer Windows version like Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Me.

Windows 98

If you’re using the first edition of Windows 98, it can detect the installed IEEE 1394 card. But, it works with Texas Instruments DV driver only. What’s more, this version of Windows does not come with this driver. So, you need to find it first. For example, usually you can get it from the drivers (if bundled) that come with the IEEE 1394 card. Below is the checklist:

• 1394 Bus Controller

• Sound, video and game controllers: 1394 camcorder (This device appears only when the DV camcorder is on, and it’s connected to the computer through the IEEE 1394 card.)

If you are using Windows 98 Second Edition, it fully supports the IEEE 1394 card and comes with the Microsoft DV driver. Yet, you can still use the Texas Instruments DV driver. Check if you have the following devices:

• 1394 Bus Controller

• Image Device: Microsoft DV Camera and VCR (For Microsoft DV driver only . This device appears only when the DV camcorder is on, and it’s connected to the computer through the IEEE 1394 card.)

• Sound, video and game controllers: 1394 camcorder (For T exas Instruments DV driver only. This device appears only when the DV camcorder is on, and it’s connected to the computer through the IEEE 1394 card.)

HARDWARE CHECKUP BEFORE USING VIDEOSTUDIO

A device list on the Device Manager in the Systems Properties dialog box, Windows 98 Second Edition

Settings tab after clicking the Properties button when a hard drive is selected. Access this from Control Panel: System - Device Manager.

Windows Millennium Edition (Me)

Windows Me fully supports the IEEE 1394 card with the following devices detected:

• 1394 Bus Controller

• 61883 Device Class

• AVC Device Class

• (Brand name) DV Camcorder: The brand name depends on the DV camcorder connected to the IEEE interface card. (This device appears only when the DV camcorder is on, and it’s connected to the computer through the IEEE 1394 card.)

Windows NT 4.X and 2000

Windows NT 4.X does not support IEEE 1394 card. For Windows 2000, it fully supports the IEEE 1394 card with the same devices as detected in Windows 98 Second Edition. (See the illustration above or the previous page for the checklist.)

Notes:

• In Windows 98 and Me, please select the DMA option in the Device Manager: Disk drive: Settings

tab. In Windows 2000, the DMA option is hidden but it’s always enabled. DMA avoids possible drop frame problems later when you are capturing video.

• In addition to commonly used Texas Instruments and Microsoft DV drivers, there are other drivers

available. Consult your camcorder’s manual for suitable drivers.

The Library

The Library is a storage depot for everything you need to create a movie: video clips, video filters, audio clips, still images, transition effects, music files, titles and color clips. These are collectively known as media clips. You can think of the Library as a general manager for all of the pieces of your project.

Adding media clips to the Library:

1 Click the Load media button to open a

dialog box for locating the media clip to insert in the Library.

2 Select the desired file. 3 Click Open when you are finished.

The type of clip that can be inserted depends on which step you are working on (such as Title or Music). The most convenient way of working with clips is using your mouse. If you want to add clips to, or use clips from the Library, first select the desired clip, then drag and drop it to its destination. You can even drag and drop files right from Windows Explorer into the Library panel.

Load media buttons

These allow you to locate the clip you want to add to the Library. A media clip can be a video, color, image, or audio clip.

Deleting media clips from the Library:

1 Select the clip that you want to remove

from the Library.

2 Drag the selected clip to the Trash can

or press the Delete key.

3 When prompted, verify whether you

also want to delete the source file from your hard disk.

Note:

Deleting source files from your hard disk permanently removes them from your computer. You may not be able to recover them again. Please make sure that those source files you are about to delete are unnecessary.

Steps to create your movie

Ulead VideoStudio itself is similarly laid out in a step-by-step format, following the items in the menu bar at the top of the program, from left to right. Click a step item on the menu bar to move directly between steps. The step you are currently in is highlighted in green.

It’s not necessary to work through every step every time, but these steps can serve as a guide to creating a complete movie. These steps don’t necessarily need to be followed in the order that they are presented, either.

Your work is saved in a small project file (*.VSP) that organizes all of your media files together. A project file is NOT the same as a movie and changes made to it do not affect your media clips. It is possible to have a number of different projects using the same clips.

Start

The Start step is for creating a new project file or opening an existing one. This is the very first and required step whenever you want to work in VideoStudio. See page 22.

Capture

Once a project is opened in the program, new video can be recorded onto your computer’s hard drive in the Capture step. See page 24.

Storyboard

The Storyboard step and the Storyboard section of the program under the Preview window are the heart of Ulead VideoStudio. This is where you arrange, edit, and trim your masterpiece. Video filters can also be added to create unique appearances of video clips. See page 30.

Effects

Transition effects between scenes are fun and easy. Thumbnail animations and drag-and-drop operations put dozens of cool effects at your fingertips. See page 42.

STEPS TO CREA TE YOUR MOVIE

Title

No movie would be complete without opening and closing titles. Not only can you use text in any Windows True Type font, color and size, but you can add video or image clips. This gives you the power to animate them just like the pros. See page 44.

Voice & Music

Steps 6 and 7 deal with audio. Background music is probably one of the most important factors determining the mood or feel of your movie. Add ambiance with tunes from your favorite CDs or record a voiceover narration to effectively clarify important parts of your video. See page 50.

Finish

The final cuts have been made and the music has been synchronized with care. Now it’s time to put it all together and make a master copy of your newest movie. See page 56.

Notes:

• When moving between steps, Ulead VideoStudio Guide - a real-time online Help - appears to give you quick reference and tips. You can decide whether to show it in the Preferences dialog box (by pressing the F6 key).

• Since video rendering usually requires a large hard drive space, use the Preview tab on the Preferences dialog box to assign proper space and folders in the hard drive(s). Do this before opening a project in VideoStudio to ensure enough space for rendering and previewing.

ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE

Start

The Start step is where you create a new project file (*.VSP), or open an existing project. A project file is a small file used by Ulead VideoStudio to store all of the information about your

movie such as clips used, trimming information, duration of movie, size of frames, and type of movie to make. A project file is not the finished movie and can only be opened in Ulead VideoStudio. The actual process of creating a movie from a project file is called rendering.

Creating a new project:

1 Click the New project button. 2 Enter a Project name, and choose a

folder Location on your hard drive. The project name later will be used to create a subfolder under this location.

3 Select a template from Available project

templates (including all templates you created previously, see next page for details). Select the one that most closely matches the type of movie you want to create.

4 Click OK.

Opening an existing project:

1 Click the Open project button. 2 Select the project file (*.VSP) you want

to open. If you are not sure where the file is, use the Browse button and then click the Scan button. This finds all *.VSP files under your assigned folder or drive.

3 Click Open.

Note:

A fast way of opening an existing project

is to use the Recent file list. Just move the mouse over the project to want, and then click it to open. However, VideoStudio cannot open a project if it was moved or removed.
