Corel VideoStudio Pro X6 Offers Even More Innovative Tools and Artistic Options

NEW! Motion Tracking: With the introduction of motion tracking, VideoStudio Pro X6 can automatically track moving objects and attach graphics, offering exciting new creative possibilities.
NEW! Customise Motion: As a complement to the new motion tracking functionality, VideoStudio Pro X6 also lets users define their own motion path which dramatically accelerates the process of setting animated paths. Motion tracking can also be used to animate still images and titles.
NEW! Ultra HD video support: VideoStudio Pro X6 offers a variety of 4K input, edit and output resolutions in both AVC and MPEG-4 formats helping users maximise the capabilities of 4K-enabled devices, including the new GoPro 3 Black.
NEW! AVCHD 2.0: VideoStudio Pro X6 offers full support of the latest AVCHD 2.0 specification, including AVCHD 3D, AVCHD Progressive, and AVCHD 3D/Progressive 50/60p profiles, for slow motion and action video. Users can also output their AVCHD project to SD card, complete with menu navigation and chapter points.
NEW! DSLR Stop Motion and Enlarge Mode: The new DSLR Enlarged Mode emulates the camera’s viewfinder, providing a larger composition window with complete settings for aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and more. The cinematic quality of HD-DSLRs make VideoStudio Pro X6 ideal for pro-quality stop motion productions for users of any skill level from education to advanced stop motion artists.
NEW! Support for QuickTime movies with alpha channels: Adding to the products’ compositing and effects capabilities, users can now import animated sequences that contain transparent backgrounds allowing them to create animations and video effects in popular 2D and 3D animation packages for use in VideoStudio Pro X6.
NEW! Subtitle Editor: The new Subtitle Editor will automatically detect speech in video, providing an instant, editable list of potential subtitle moments, accelerating the production process when adding subtitles.
NEW! Swap tracks: Users can swap overlay tracks, making it faster and easier to reorganise a project containing multiple overlay tracks. When tracks are swapped, all associated media within each track is retained and carried over as well.
NEW! Variable Speed: The new Variable Speed feature allows users to quickly make adjustments to a project’s playback speed at multiple intervals. Excellent for action and 50/60p video.
