VideoStudio has been around for quite some time now and is a well matured, stable program which has benefited from active development since its inception.
This collection of tutorials will introduce you to the new and exciting features of Corel VideoStudio X8. The VideoStudio team has streamlined the interface and added powerful new tools like audio ducking. Our video editing experts guide you through all these new developments, and show you how to use them to improve your video projects. Corel VideoStudio Pro X8 is targeted as a fast and easy consumer-grade video editor, priced at only $79.99, but this is not dumbed-down editing — VideoStudio supports 64-bit editing in a traditional timeline with HD to 4K resolution, Dolby 5.1 audio, 50-some editing tracks, keyframed effects and file, mobile and web output.
In fact my very first copy of VideoStudio was version 6 under the now defunct Ulead name back in 2004!
Since purchasing the program from Ulead many years ago Corel have maintained a philosophy of engaging with and consulting their most active users on their excellent 'user to user' forum.
VideoStudio Pro 2020 and VideoStudio Ultimate 2020 are both great examples of what can happen when a software company like Corel listens and makes an effort to not just correct errors, but to anticipate and satisfy future needs.
The result of this has been steady forward improvement in the functionality, usability and stability of each year's final release candidates.
I have no reservations in recommending Corel VideoStudio Pro 2020 or Ultimate 2020 to anyone looking for fully featured editing software program at this level.
It does everything it is supposed to do, does it very well and easily holds its own against the competition in the consumer grade editing software market.
Check out the video below to get an idea of what the software has to offer but bear two things in mind while you are watching.
First, the video was produced using VideoStudio Ultimate 2020… which is a good thing.
Second, it is an ad after all, so let's not get too carried away just yet!
VideoStudio Pro versus VideoStudio Ultimate
Before we go any further let's first of all take a look at the differences between the standard Pro version of VideoStudio 2020 and the Ultimate version.
The software is competitively priced within its market however by going from Pro 2020 to the Ultimate 2020 version you get some serious bang for your extra $20.00!
The two are essentially the same core editing programs having mostly comparable feature sets.
The real difference lies in the added features and functionality you get from the set of premium special effects packs and add-ons in the Ultimate version.
It is important to note that these extra modules are mostly plugins which integrate into the overall program and it is these that give VideoStudio Ultimate 2020 the pro tools appearing in many of the consumer level products these days.
Some brands have opted for developing their own integrated modules to extend the capabilities of their software.
Others like Corel have simply turned to the experts in their respective fields and incorporated those features into the main program through the use of plugins like these.
Neither system is superior or inferior to the other, however the real difference is in how the company has achieved that integration.
In the case of Corel that integration has been executed very well.
The additional features you get with the Ultimate 2020 version are:
- Premium special FX packs from Prodad, NewBlue FX and Boris which takes the total number of effects, filters etc from 1500 up to around 2000.
- In the multicam editing module you can simultaneously edit up to 6 clips at a time rather than the 4 on offer in Pro 2020.
- The video mask creator.
- Full color grading including the new Color Wheel feature.
- Morph and seamless transitions.
- 3D Titling Editor.
- Split screen template creator.
- Advanced Video Stabilization
So What's New and Improved?
First of all let's be clear that this is not a 'bells and whistles' update full of bright shiny objects designed to make the marketing department's life easier.
In this release of VideoStudio 2020 the majority of the new or improved features are either consolidations of existing features into a more advanced form or genuinely useful upgrades to the core program.
So in no particular order here they are:
Rendering
Corel Videostudio Pro X8 Manual
First up the rendering engine itself has been updated to take advantage of the latest video hardware acceleration technologies from Intel and NVIDIA.
In most cases this should improve performance overall in speeding up rendering to popular file formats, including new support for output video with Alpha channel.
Color Grading
In VideoStudio Pro 2020 they have pretty much stayed with the existing color correction module which is perfectly fine for the average user.
However in VideoStudio Ultimate 2020 they have introduced advanced color correction and color grading tools allowing the use of HSL tuning, tone curves and more.
You can now use LUT (Lookup Tables) profiles in the software as well as store your own pre-sets to use later in other projects.
Improved Video Masking
The Video Mask creator has been re-worked to offer far greater control as well as more blending modes and better integration with other features.
Painting Creator
You can now create custom animated overlays using a selection of brushes which have been ported over from Corel's graphics programs Painter® and PaintShop® Pro.
Corel Videostudio X8 Free Download
Using this tool you can record your brush strokes as you work allowing you add your completed graphics to your video.
They can be integrated as a as a static graphic asset, or as I mentioned already, an animated effect.
MultiCam Capture™
This feature allows you to capture footage live such as recording the screen as well as a webcam at the same time.
This feature then integrates with the MultiCam Editor to allow you to switch between devices in an easy way.
Rotmg pserver no download. The Mask Creator and the Titling Module have been upgraded to offer greater options and better control.
Most of the included plugins from NewBlue, Prodad and Boris have been updated to more recent versions.

And finally! Speed and Performance
As has been the case with most major updates of VideoStudio Pro 2020 and VideoStudio Ultimate 2020 for the past few years, Corel have paid particular attention to optimizing the program for a smother and faster editing and rendering experience.
Both VideoStudio Pro 2020 and VideoStudio Ultimate 2020 can take full advantage of the latest video hardware acceleration technologies from Intel and NVIDIA improving efficiency and dramatically speeding up rendering to modern file formats.

If you've ever used another video editor then the program's familiar interface will have you feeling at home immediately. Import, preview and trim your media files, add and position them on the 21-track timeline, then drag and drop music, transitions, effects, titles and more. It's all very straightforward.
There's also real depth here. You don't have to spend an age creating a stack of tiny clips from your source movie, for instance; Corel's Multi-Trim allows you to extract what you need by selecting multiple start and end points.

Creating a soundtrack doesn't just have to mean dragging and dropping an MP3. The Scorefitter tool can generate what you need from a bundled library of songs and sounds, automatically adjusting to fit the movie length. You can record your own voice, sync sound with your timeline, there's even an Audio Ducking feature which detects music or narration and automatically lowers video background sound.
There are a stack of powerful tools to explore. You can use freeze frames, create slow motion or time-lapse effects; maybe get creative by using overlays and masks to blend objects in various ways; use motion tracking to follow objects on-screen, perhaps connecting them to graphics or text; and that's before you get to bonus tools like NewBlue FX Video Essentials II, which provides a host of special effects via 100 presets and 10 plugins.
Corel Studio X8
Enhanced 4K hardware acceleration improves performance. Corel claims it's 'optimized for upcoming Intel 5th Generation processors, delivering over 400% faster performance than VideoStudio Pro X7'.
Once you've finished, your work can be exported as a video (AVI, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, QuickTime, WebM, Windows Media Format, HTML5, and - new this time - H.264 format MOV). Alternatively, the integrated disc authoring tools can author DVD, AVCHD or ISO disc images.
There's a lot to explore, but thankfully VideoStudio provides plenty of help, in a range of formats (online, video, PDF manual). Or for simple projects you could use the bundled FastFlick: select a template, insert your media, then save your project or upload it (Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr), all in a few minutes.
Please note, there is a more powerful VideoStudio Ultimate X8 with additional content and functionality, but the trial build is Pro X8 only.
Corel Videostudio X8 Ultimate
Version 8 includes many improvements.
•New! Overlay options, freeze frame & video masking
•New! Balance dialog & background sound automatically with Audio Ducking
•Enhanced! Stunning 4K and HD with support for XAVC S
•New! NewBlue Video Essentials II
•Enhanced! 17 royalty-free tracks from Triple Scoop Music
Verdict:
Videostudio Pro X8
A powerful consumer video editor, packed with features, yet also thoughtfully designed and reasonably easy to use.
