First thing you notice is the new boot screen

The usual options for
VideoStudio editor
Move wizard
DV-DVD wizard are there
Plus the 16.9 format box.

The user interface appears very similar to VS10+ with options to select from 4 available layouts.

Image

Image

Image

The same Easy 7 Steps appear across the top of the screen

Image

One major improvement to the display is the overlay tracks
The normal view is the one we have now grown used to with VideoStudio 10+

Image

But now a button has been added to the interface that enables you to see all of the overlay tracks at once

Image

New to Version 11 is the ability to cut clips on overlay tracks
Image

The Library Manager retains its familiar look
Image

Popular questions with the release of a new product is
\"What samples, filters and so on do I get\"

Here is a quick look through the library manager.

Image

Note the new \"My Favourites Folder\"

Image

When you right click a transition you have an option to add that transition to your \"My Favourites\" folder.

Image

Auto Insert Transitions

A favourite question amongst forum members relates to the number of album transitions.

Smartsound \"New Standard\" Library:

When I selected the Capture Tab it instantly recognised my Hauppauge PVR 350 PCI TV Card. I did not have to set up the channels it appears to have set it up by itself. I could not get the Hauppauge card to work with VS10+ though it did with VS9 so it seems whatever went wrong in 10+ has been rectified.

Image

The following options are on the capture tab
Image

The following options are on the share tab
Image

The following templates have been set up on the Create Video File Button.

Optimizing MPEG videos

VideoStudio's MPEG Optimizer makes creating and rendering movies in MPEG format a lot faster.

It analyses and finds the best MPEG settings or the Optimal project settings profile to use for your project. In doing so, it saves time by keeping your project's original segments with settings compatible to the Optimal project settings profile and maintains high quality for all segments including the ones that need re-encoding or re-rendering.

After selecting MPEG Optimizer in the Share Step Options Panel, VideoStudio displays the MPEG Optimizer dialog box and shows what percentage of your project needs to be re-rendered.

The MPEG Optimizer automatically detects changes in your project and renders out only the edited portions, making render time much shorter and faster.
