Hi,
I just started to work with Ulead Mediastudio Pro 6. Is this program good enough for professional/semi-professional purposes? If not, which is?

Also need to convert JPEG file to AVI or MPEG? Scanned a few photos in and want to import them into Mediastudio.

Thanks

Jürgen

I have used MediaStudio Pro since version 6.0

In terms of digital video editing the software is excellent. You will be able to produce professionally presented videos without any great difficulty.

The main problem with version 6.0 is that it is now a full revision out of synch (latest version is 7.0) with the rest of the market place. The main implication in this is the number of codecs bundled with version 6.0

If your output media is a DV IN enabled camcorder, or WEB Streaming, then there won't be any problems. However if your output media is DVD then you will have to use a seperate encoder to make your MPEG2 file DVD compliant.

The only other main drawback on version 6.0 is that there is no real support for widescreen movies.

All of these drawbacks are resolved in version 7.0

All said, pretty good package though.

Oops, forgot to add,

Media Studio Pro will handle your jpeg images without any difficulty. Simply drop the jpeg onto your timeline and adjust the duration accordingly. The AVI or MPEG conversion will happen as you render the final movie.

Incidentally the short title sequence I have posted in the 'Post your Video' section of this forum was created using mediastudio 6.5 Although the effects etc are also achievable with 6.0

Hope that helps

Good to have a Media Studio expert on the forums
