Profile
A profile covers various attributes for a Windows Media Format file such
as bit rate, number and type of streams, compression quality, frame size
and so on.
Project File
In Corel VideoStudio Pro, a project file (*.VSP) contains the required
information to link all associated image, audio, and video files. With Corel
VideoStudio Pro, you must open a project file before you can edit a video.
Render
Rendering is the process of making a finished movie from the source files
in a project.
Scenes
A scene is a series of continuous frames. In Corel VideoStudio Pro, each
scene that is captured by using the Split by Scene feature is based on the
recording date and time of the footage. In a captured DV AVI file, scenes
can be separated into several files based on the recording date and time
of the footage or based on changes in the content of the video. In an
MPEG-2 file, the content changes are used to separate scenes into files.
SmartRender
SmartRender technology saves time when generating previews by
rendering only the parts that have been modified from your last render
operation.
Split by scene
This feature automatically splits up different scenes into individual files. In
Corel VideoStudio Pro, the way scenes are detected depends on which
step you are in. In the Capture Step, Split by Scene detects individual
scenes based on the original footage's recording date and time. In the
Edit Step, if Split by Scene is applied to a DV AVI file, scenes can be
detected in two ways: by the recording date and time, or by the changes
in the content of the video. Whereas in an MPEG file, scenes are detected
only based on the content changes.
