Meanwhile, a simple AVCHD-based project was only marginally faster than X6 to export, down from 1min 29secs to 1min 24secs. It still wasn’t as quick as Movie Studio Platinum, though. A project based on the same footage took 6mins 6secs to render to 1080p MPEG4 in X6, and 3mins 12secs in X7 – almost twice as fast. By contrast, Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13 managed five streams of our test EOS 70D footage.Įxport times have also been improved. X7 is better, but it still runs into problems with more than one stream. The previous version’s handling of QuickTime AVC footage, such as from Canon compact and SLR cameras, was particularly poor, intermittently struggling to play a single stream. X7 managed seven streams, a welcome improvement that brings it roughly in line with its competitors. VideoStudio X6 was able to play five AVCHD streams on our Core i7-870 test PC. VideoStudio is now available as a 64-bit application, a move that has really paid off for other video editors. It can also create stop-motion animations, animate graphics to track subjects around the frame, capture the Windows desktop as a video file, turn drawings into animated sketches, edit subtitles and export to the web in HTML5 format.įor this latest update, Corel’s attention is on performance and ease of use. It has all the basics covered: arranging and trimming clips applying effects and transitions designing titles and burning discs. Corel VideoStudio isn’t the most sophisticated video-editing software around, but it could never be accused of being light on features.
