Studio now uses nVidia CUDA acceleration to handle H.264 decoding, and in Corel’s own tests this gave a notable improvement to preview performance for AVCHD editing. We found it useful not only for reordering clips, but also as a way to navigate the project without having to zoom in and out of the timeline. Here, the Storyboard appears just above the timeline, allowing both to be used simultaneously. However, it looks tidier than the timeline and makes it easy to reorder clips. Unlike timeline editing, it gives no indication of the length of each clip, and it doesn’t work when arranging clips on multiple tracks. This is a common feature in entry-level editors, where a thumbnail represents each clip. The iPad app was also the inspiration for a clever spin on the storyboard-editing concept. It’s an extremely welcome feature for adjusting edits with frame-accurate precision – something that’s often quite fiddly in consumer editors. It bears more than a passing resemblance to features in Premiere Pro CS6, right down to the ability to loop around the edit point, although this version stops playback whenever adjustments are made. These edit points can be shifted one or ten frames at a time using keyboard shortcuts.Ĭlicking on a preview monitor dictates which clip is adjusted, and Ctrl-clicking moves them together so the overall length of both clips is unaffected.
One is Trim mode, which uses dual preview monitors showing the last frame of a clip beside the first frame of the following clip. The iPad app has inspired a couple of new features in the desktop version. Selecting, ordering and truncating clips is arguably the most important, and yet the most tedious part of video production, so the ability to get started in the hotel room or on a long journey home is extremely welcome. Projects can be transferred from iPad to Windows for further editing, either via iCloud, or, more realistically considering the large file sizes, iTunes.
