Project basics
Corel VideoStudio combines the video, titles, sounds, and effects in a process called
rendering. Project settings determine how your movie project is rendered when you preview
it. The output video can then be played back on your computer, burned to disc, or uploaded
to the Internet.
This section contains the following topics:
• Creating new projects and opening projects
• Setting project properties
• Creating custom profiles
• Using Smart Proxy for a faster, smoother editing experience
• Previewing your project or clips
• Undoing and redoing actions
• Showing and hiding grid lines
• Saving projects
• Saving projects by using Smart Package
• Adding cues and chapters
Creating new projects and opening projects
When you start Corel VideoStudio, it automatically opens a new project and lets you start
creating your movie. New projects are always based on the default settings of the
application. You can also create HTML5 projects that you can post on the Web.
You can open previously saved projects and if you’d like to combine several projects, you can
add previously saved projects to a new project.
To create a new project
• Click File >New Project [Ctrl + N].
To create a new HTML5 project
• Click File > New HTML5 Project [Ctrl + M].
