VideoStudio 10 Plus is the latest release of Ulead’s popular video-editing and DVD-authoring software It has a number of new advanced features. What impresses me most are the enhancements Ulead incorporated in the basic tools and functions that makes the capturing and editing jobs much easier and faster. VideoStudioo 10 Plus now offers three program options: the VideoStudio Editor designed for advanced users; the Movie Wizard for beginners; and the new DV-to-DVD Wizard with the capability of burning a DVD directly from an entire tape without scanning or capturing to the hard drive.
The new Editor’s interface has a large preview window on one side, and the Library and Option Panels conveniently placed on the other. It offers four different interface layouts for the viewer to choose from. Ulead has greatly improved the processing speed. Now you can start playing the clip or the project on the preview window almost instantly with one click of the play button. Ulead has added a scrolling Timeline ruler and tracking indicator as I suggested in my version 8 review. But the indicator re-scrolls repeatedly from the middle of the ruler. I would prefer to see the indicator stay put with the ruler scrolling.
The Timeline scale slider is a much-improved tool to adjust the ruler scale. By adjusting the ruler to the frame-size scale, you can identify accurately the frames you want to trim from the video clip. The Timeline ruler bar also has a provision to set (or remove) chapter markers, which is much more convenient than setting the markers while previewing the project. Rip Editing is another convenient feature. Once enabled, the positions of the media files you inserted in all the tracks are locked to the clips in the video track. Hence, you do not have to reposition these files if you drag and drop new clips into the video track or remove unwanted ones from it.
VideoStudio 10 Plus now offers 6 overlay tracks. You can resize, reposition or apply animations, masks or video effects to the clips in the overlay tracks. In addition, you can use the Chroma Key function to create Alpha channel clips or images with a transparent background (only from those with a solid color background). With 6 overlay tracks, you can produce multiple-pictures-in-picture video clips or still images.
The Audio functions have not changed much from the previous versions except the new added 5.1 Dolby Digital support and the Pitch Shift filter that raises or lowers the pitch of the audio clips.
Two other noteworthy features are the Ad-Zapper and the DV Quick Scan. Ad-Zapper automatically detects commercials in TV programs for easy removal. The DV Quick Scan function allows you to scan the DV tape at speeds up to 6X and select the scenes you want to keep in your movie for later batch capture.
