Features

The Most Complete HD Solution

• New Blu-ray Import and Output – VideoStudio Pro X2 is among the first video editing software products to offer support for Blu-ray Disc® Movie Video (BDMV) import and output. Users can now import BDMV files directly from Blu-ray camcorders, making it easier to transfer files and get started with video-editing projects. Users can author HD video with motion menus and burn the video to Blu-ray Disc in single- or dual-layer format. Because compliant video is not re-rendered, users are ensured shorter encoding times and excellent picture quality.
  
  Offering the most complete HD solution, VideoStudio Pro X2 lets users capture, edit, author and output video in all of the leading HD formats, including HDV™ (High-Definition Video), AVCHD™ (Advanced Video Codec High Definition), JVC™ HD camcorder (TOD) and BDMV.
  
  
• Enhanced Smart Proxy Editing – With Smart Proxy editing, users can edit HD content as easily as they edit standard definition – even on midrange PCs. By using lower-resolution files for editing and previewing an HD project, VideoStudio Pro X2 requires fewer system resources, which results in faster, smoother editing of HD video. In addition, the final output retains the full resolution of the original HD content. With a 300 percent speed increase, users can now render videos over lunch, rather than overnight.
  
  
• New Custom H.264 HD Encoding – VideoStudio Pro X2 uses the new H.264 codec, which provides rapid encoding with superior quality. Both 1440 × 1080 and 1920 × 1080 output frame sizes are supported.

More Options for Creativity and Sharing

• New Painting Creator – With the all-new Painting Creator, users can paint, draw and write on their videos while recording the movements, providing users with new opportunities to personalize their video projects and showcase their creativity.
  
  
• New Creative Content – VideoStudio Pro X2 includes new overlay objects, frames, Flash animations, and HD-quality menu templates to enhance every video production. The HD templates are designed to match the quality of any HD video.
  
  
• New NewBlue® Film Effects – Users can now apply the distinctive look of film from the silent movie era. Included with Video Studio X2, this dynamic collection of five filters provides 81 presets that recreate the nostalgic effects produced by hand-cranked cameras, dirty projectors, and dusty film vaults.
  
  
• New Mobile Device Support – VideoStudio Pro X2 users can now import video from and output video to the Apple® iPhone™ and iPod® Touch, making it easier for users to capture and share video projects on the latest mobile devices.
  
  
• Enhanced Upload to YouTube – With the new, streamlined uploader, users can more quickly and easily upload video directly to YouTube. VideoStudio Pro X2 also offers several settings, such as the WMV, H.264, and FLV formats to ensure the best possible encoding quality.

Improved Performance Supports Enhanced User Experience

• New Optimization for Intel® Quad-Core Technology – VideoStudio Pro X2 now supports Intel® quad-core technology, enhanced for both dual-core and quad-core CPUs. For users this means faster response times and less time spent waiting for encoding which is especially useful when working with HD video.
  
  
• New Resizable Interface – VideoStudio now enables users to resize any of the panels within the interface according to their preference, placing the focus exactly where the user wants it.
  
  
• New Automatic Video Transition and Audio Crossfade – Users can now simply drag video clips so they overlap on the timeline, automatically creating a video transition and audio crossfade for the duration of the overlap. Users can also easily apply transitions in overlay tracks to create sophisticated picture-in-picture and montage effects.
  
  
• New Auto Pan and Zoom Feature – Auto Pan & Zoom is now available to automatically detect the faces of subjects or objects in photos, eliminating the need to manually apply Pan & Zoom effects.
  
  
• New Single Clip Trim Dialog Box – The new Single Clip Trim dialog box makes it easy to frame and accurately trim single clips. Users can access the dialog box by double clicking any clip in the Library, making it easier than ever to quickly trim to clips.
  
  
• Faster Rendering Times – While rendering a video production, users can now disable the preview window to maximize rendering resources and render the video more quickly.
  
  
• Faster Encoding Performance for Transitions and MPEG-2 Files – VideoStudio Pro X2 ensures the fastest encoding at the highest possible quality. The MPEG Optimizer analyzes the bit rates of all clips on the Timeline and suggests MPEG encoding settings that ensure the least re-rendering and re-encoding while maintaining the highest quality for a video project.

VideoStudio Pro X2 is very easy to use, and it has all the basics to create impressive, professional videos. And although it's not as flexible as some other video-editing programs—there's not as much control over effects or how you chain them together, for example, as there is in Vegas Movie Studio 9.0 Platinum—if you just want to trim and assemble video clips; add effects, titles, and a soundtrack; and render to a wide variety of formats and devices, you'll find that VideoStudio makes the job quick and easy.
