But note that these speed changes remove the clip's audio.

This displays a two panel window in which you mark key frames to indicate where you want speedups or slowdowns.

With a clip selected and the Options panel showing, a new choice is Variable Speed. You can even have multiple motion tracks with different overlays following them. What impresses me is that Corel didn't just toss in a rudimentary motion tracking tool in this first introduction of the feature, but rather a sophisticated one with deep customisation. This lets you add not only text or objects that will follow your motion track, but even another video clip! A simple right click choice from the text or object gets you there, and lets you position it relative to the track. So how do you use the track? The easiest way is to apply a mosaic overlay by clicking a button right in the Motion Tracking dialog this is good for those body parts or license plates.įor more sophisticated overlays, look to the Match Motion tool. Once you have a motion track in place, you can fine tune it manually, name it, and save it. There are two tracker types – point and area – the latter gave me better results for following a face. The program then creates a path to which you can apply an overlay that follows your moving object. On first run, a dialog tells you that you have to sign into a Corel Community account to use Corel Guide, the splash screen offering tips and tutorials that appears whenever you start the app. The installation took longer than most programs at a solid 20 minutes. After okaying the license agreement and entering my serial number, I had to select my country and video output format – NTSC or PAL. I tested on a 3.4GHz AMD quad-core Windows 7 Ultimate PC with 4GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4290 graphics adapter – not state of the art, but not too shabby. The regular Pro version includes all the new features, but the Ultimate edition of X6 (£79.98) adds pro-level effects from NewBlue, proDAD, and Boris. You can use VideoStudio on PCs running Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP with the latest service packs installed – sorry, there’s no Mac version. Like any powerful video editor, VideoStudio takes a bit of disk space: The installer program was a 1.3GB download, and the installed application took up 1.5GB on my test system.
