The second, RotoSketch, applies an attractive greyscale painterly effect to live video.Įven more impressive and useful is the addition of a range of sampler effects from NewBlueFX including its excellent Picture-in-Picture filter complete with animations, borders, shadows and reflections. The first, AutoSketch, takes a frame or photo and makes it look as if it’s being painted onscreen. There’s now support for filters across multiple tracks, and the range of filters has been expanded, two of which immediately caught our eye. VideoStudio Pro X3’s handling of effects has also been overhauled. Some can be fine-tuned in terms of mood and instrumentation.
The advantage of AutoMusic tracks is that they intelligently adapt themselves to the length of clip. Most impressive is the inclusion of a wide range of AutoMusic tracks and track variations from SmartSound. The same is true for audio handling, which offers two additional music tracks and new audio filters. The control over titles has been enhanced, and multiple title effects can now be added on separate tracks. It isn’t just the editing workflow that’s been improved so has the available power. It really does cut through the complexity of the whole video-editing process and makes it both intuitive and enjoyable. It’s the central Edit tab that’s been reworked the most and here you can view all your media, transitions, titles, graphics, filters and audio options. In particular, VideoStudio Pro X3 now offers just three major workflow tabs – Capture, Edit and Share. VideoStudio Pro is a far more efficient way of editing your videos anyway, and this is principally down to a significant overhaul of the front-end. However, as the same starting templates, including some from RevoStock, are now available as fully customisable Instant Projects from within the more powerful VideoStudio Pro, it’s unlikely you’ll load Express more than once. This allows the creation of simple movies combining photos and videos based on a handful of starting templates. Choose the latter and you’re actually loading a completely different application: VideoStudio Express 2010. Corel has never been able to resist the urge to bundle so, when you first load the program, a Quick Launcher screen appears where you can choose between new Advanced Edit and Easy Edit modes. Strangely, despite the joint launches, there’s currently no combined suite, so each program must stand on its own merits. Alongside PaintShop Photo Pro X3 (see opposite), Corel is releasing VideoStudio Pro X3 aimed at the digital video market.
