Selecting a template
Templates provide settings that can get you started as quickly as possible. When choosing a
template, first know the attributes of the sources you are going to use in the project. Video
sources can be already existing video files in your hard drive or still to be captured scenes
from your capturing device. Remember that the template you’re going to choose here does not
restrict you from changing the output format of your final movie. Templates are more directly
related to your video source.
To get the best quality and rendering time,
choose a project template that has the same
frame size, frame rate, and other attributes as
your capture settings.
•
Template from the capture settings uses
the same frame size, frame rate, and other
attributes as your capture device’s settings.
VideoStudio allows you to reuse the settings
of previously created video files. This makes
it easier to create several projects with
exactly the same properties.
•
Template from an existing video file
allows you to create a template based on the
settings of previously created AVI and
MPEG video files.
•
Previous template reuses the settings of the
last project template used.
Video is displayed on NTSC or PAL devices,
the most common of which is the television.
Although many devices now work with both,
it is helpful to select the standard that suits
your specific need.
•
NTSC is predominant in North America and
many Asian countries.
•
PAL is the standard in Europe and South
Pacific.
If you select your country when installing
VideoStudio, the appropriate TV standard is
selected by default.
