Corel VideoStudio Pro X3

Corel Corporation announced the launch of an enhanced version of its video editing software , Corel VideoStudio Pro X3. The Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 will be available in the international market at a price of $99.99. However, Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 will be available in the Asia Pacific region from this February onwards. Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 combines video editing, media authoring, real-time effects and DVD and Blu-ray burning, enabling video enthusiasts to create professional-looking productions in a simplified and streamlined environment that offers maximum performance.

Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 now performs many common tasks more than twice as fast as the previous version with optimization for new, high-powered chipsets including the Intel Core i7. Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 also offers multi-core and GPU parallel processing with support for new technology including NVIDIA CUDA to offer impressive performance and an improved end-to-end production workflow.

“Typically, speed and workflow performance are big challenges for today’s consumer video editors, so that’s where Corel focused our efforts for X3. Anyone who edits video knows what it feels like when the creative process stalls because you’re faced with complicated tools, slow response times or stuttering playback. We thought it was time to deliver a new experience for video editing, so we’ve built Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 with a streamlined user interface, enhanced creative tools that deliver real-time effects, and a simplified workflow,” said Jan Piros who leads Product Management for Corel VideoStudio Pro.

Great Audio and Custom Soundtracks: The new Mood Mapping music generator from SmartSound® gives video editors the ability to experiment and control individual instruments in the available music tracks, creating a unique sound for their production. Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 also now includes two additional audio tracks.
Exceptional Content and Third-party Tools: In addition to the enhancements made throughout the application, Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 offers valuable content and features from third-parties such as NewBlue® FX Filters including Detail Enhancer, Active Camera and Picture-in-Picture Animator, high-quality project templates from RevoStock®, and Quicktracks™ from SmartSound.
