Having set the region to UK during installation, the software offered various 25fps but no 30fps profiles, and 24fps and 50fps options were woefully under-represented.
It looks friendlier than the old dropdown list, but it carries over the same patchy support for frame rates. Each one comes with profiles at various resolutions, frame rates and bit rates. The Capture, Edit and Share tabs are redesigned, but while they look a little neater, there’s less room available on the screen for the various panels.Ĭlicking the Share tab reveals export options, and these have been tidied up with individual buttons for the available export formats. There were waits of up to three seconds between hitting play and playback commencing, making it tricky to fine-tune edits.Ĭorel lists a “sleek new look for the user interface” among its new features, but we struggled to spot the difference between X6 and X7. Navigating the timeline and editing clips often resulted in a delay of around a second while the software performed the requested action. Sadly, we didn’t notice any discernible improvement to the responsiveness of the interface. Both results were a little faster than Movie Studio Platinum.
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.
