Video Studio timelines have to use full frames we cannot display half frames.
For ntsc at 30 fps we have more zoom options than using Pal standards at 25fps.
Zoom would be 1x, 5x, we cannot use 3x as 3 is not divisible into 25.
I am not on my pc to check Pal zoom availability but certainly not as many as ntsc.
I believe ask1 uses Pal

Thanks for the encouragements and warnings about moving to Davinci Resolve. I've really enjoyed the learning made easy with VS, but I've probably outgrown it and also gotten too impatient with the bugs. The community is not that big for VS either. So not that much support and even though I'm not trying to make any money at all, I do maybe try to do advanced things that the designers never intended us to do. For example, here is a bug in just a short 13 second clip I tried to make in VS and eventually had to just give up on having titles that all come up separately on timeline and then all fade as one, at the same time and same transition. The compositor just gets confused far too easily, just watch the clip. Note I had to make this clip using Multicam lite version 1, not version 2. Every time I imported clips made with multi-cam v2 they just crash Corel VS, so yeah, a fair few bugs in this example clip alone. I'll miss the supportive team here and the easy-mode tool, but I'll be back I'm sure. Here it is
As a software tester in my day job, I understand software and bugs, and I even attract bugs to myself. Another bug here,
this one DID get fixed quickly.
But although I'm not ready to pay for that Black Magic license, I know I've got to move on if only for the feature set.

zaphodikus, Davinci Resolve just released version 19, but it's a public beta. You can download the free version and give it a go. Also plan to spend that time learning "how". There are lots of tutorials for beginners. Here is one for DR 19. Casey has been doing this "forever". He makes it fun and is easy to understand. It's up to the user to actually learn how, by continually using and exploring the software. Have some aspirin just in case. VIDEO

VIDEO Casey Faris IS, the YT channel that inspired me to give Resolve a try, I'm not yet comfortable with the basics, but close. I'm doing a very long and slow tutorial by colorist Patrick Inhofer via Lynda.com because it has great built-in exercises, and he builds you slowly into everything. At my age, I need slow and steady. I tried out Hitfilm Express some time ago and really liked that power and the consistent and quick user interface. For example just having consistent properties pages for everything and ability to easily "composite" inside the timeline (something I later learned you can do by importing a project directly into VS onto your timeline.) I'm not yet up to speed, but I have a 5 church tour I took pics on from last weekend, to edit. I have vowed to learn enough Davinci to share the nearly 300 photos and clips I took, on a youtube with my club of Bell Ringers. I'm pretty sure I'll use my Corel VS 2023 from time to time for quick jobs though. |

zaphodikus Yes I agree that there are problems in animating titles, first started when they introduced the Entry / Middle and Exit animations for 2023. As you are using a scroll animation I can only suggest you set all Entry / Middle and Exit to No Animation, then apply the scroll using Customise Motion, using keyframes and position should allow a scroll and the text to remain on screen, you can now create the png with text. The workround seems to work for me although I do not know exactly what effect you were trying to create given the limitation using Entry, middle, exit. By the way you appear to be running 2023 V 26.0.0.136, there was an update a service pack to bring the version to 26.1.0.268, although did not fix these text issues. Post updated, it is possible that the service pack did address the spaces problem you were experiencing. Also setting and removing Bold, Underline etc works ok on my program

And if you don't want to bother with Vegas because you like editing upside down  , you can buy Magix Movie Studio 2024 Suite for $50 new perpetual which includes Vitascene V5 Pro, Text to Speech and access to download music and stock footage from Storyblocks. There are limits with the perpetual license. You get more with the subscription model. And if you already have Magix Movie Studio, the same as an upgrade is $30 perpetual.
