New: Corel VideoStudio Pro X3
Jan 26th
Corel Corporation has announced the latest in a long and established line of consumer video editing software. VideoStudio Pro X3 promises a streamlined interface and new features.
Corel’s new VideoStudio Pro X3 video editing software promises to combine video editing, media authoring, real-time effects and DVD and Blu-ray burning in addition to a newer, simplified and streamlined display workspace.
What’s more, it’s claimed by Corel to perform many common tasks more than twice as fast as the previous version with optimization for new, high-powered chipsets including the Intel Core i7.
The software also offers multi-core and GPU parallel processing with support for new technology including NVIDIA CUDA as a means of enhancing performance and end-to-end production workflow.
Product highlights
According to Corel, the highlights of VideoStudio Pro X3 are numerous, and include the following:
- Enhanced Support for Multi-core processors: Users can now experience a significant suite-wide performance boost as Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 takes advantage of new multi-core processors including the Intel Core i7.
- General Purpose GPU Acceleration: New GPU acceleration adds speed improvements across the application, delivering new Corel FX effects, 3D transitions, Trim and Multi-trim in real time. Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 dramatically accelerates render times for video editing, transcoding and effects.
- Enhanced Smart Proxy editing: Now leveraging both GPU and CPU acceleration, HD content can be edited as easily and smoothly as standard definition — even on midrange PCs.
- Attribute and media copying: Now, modifications made to one video clip, photo, title, transition or effect can be copied to another, reducing the time it takes to create a custom, uniform look and feel in movie project elements. Users can also copy media in the Project Timeline and intuitively paste it to a new spot.
- Online sharing: In a couple of clicks, video productions can be uploaded to Facebook, Flickr, Vimeo and YouTube.
- Stunning new visual effects: Unique visual effects make it possible to turn a video segment or image into a simulated drawing, giving a realistic animated appearance to photo or videos. Users can also choose new multi-track overlay effects and enhanced title effects using new multi-layered graphics compositing tools.
- Great Audio and Custom Soundtracks: The new Mood Mapping music generator from SmartSound gives video editors the ability to experiment and control individual instruments in the available music tracks, creating a unique sound for their production. Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 also now includes two additional audio tracks.
- Exceptional Content and Third-party Tools: In addition to the enhancements made throughout the application, Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 offers valuable content and features from third-parties such as NewBlue FX Filters including Detail Enhancer, Active Camera and Picture-in-Picture Animator, high-quality project templates from RevoStock, and Quicktracks from SmartSound.
