Customize Motion: As a complement to the
motion tracking functionality, VideoStudio Pro X8
also lets you define your own motion path. This
dramatically accelerates the process of setting
animated paths in comparison with competitor
video-editing applications. With
Customize
Motion, you have the freedom to quickly and
easily create moving picture-in-picture effects
with graphics, objects, titles, and video clips.
You can define a motion path with Customize Motion.
DSLR Enlarged Mode: The DSLR Enlarged
Mode emulates your camera’s viewfinder,
providing a larger composition window with
complete settings for aperture, shutter speed,
ISO, and much more. Now, you can simply set up
and start shooting, while using your PC or
Windows tablet to control the camera’s settings.

Scrubber to the point you want to adjust,
drag the
Tracker to a new position, and then
click the
Track Motion button.
