Enhanced! Smart Proxy editing: With Smart
Proxy editing, you can edit HD content as easily as
you edit SD — even on midrange PCs. By using
lower resolution proxy files for editing and
previewing an HD project, VideoStudio Pro X3
requires fewer system resources, which results in
faster, smoother editing of HD. The proxy video is
used only for editing. When it’s exported, the
proxy clip links back to the original HD video, so
the final product is full HD quality. To speed up
editing, the Smart Proxy File Manager has been
enhanced so that you can display only the tracks
you want to modify.

Saving HD MP4 files with H.264
compression:
H.264, the cutting edge video-
compression technology in the MPEG-4 standard,
offers the best of both worlds: incredible video
quality from the smallest amount of video data.
VideoStudio Pro X3 lets you save high definition
MP4 files with H.264 compression, producing
crisp, clear video projects in much smaller files,
saving bandwidth, and facilitating sharing to a
variety of devices ranging from lowpowered cell
phones to high-powered Blu-ray devices.
New!
RotoSketch: The principles of
rotoscoping — tracing over live-action film
movement to create animation — are the
foundation of RotoSketch. By simply applying a
GPU-optimized filter, you can turn videos into
realistic animated clips.
