Dear Sirs, for a while now I am looking for a video tutorial on how to create a dolly zoom or vertigo zoom effect. Unfortunately, I don’t find anything for videostudio. Can you point me out to the right direction?
Hello Edney,
Thank you for the suggestion! We don’t currently have a tutorial on adding a dolly zoom effect in VideoStudio, but we can give you some of the basics. Traditionally, a dolly zoom was done by adjusting the focal length on your zoom lens (the zoom part) while also moving the camera along on a dolly (the dolly part, hence ‘dolly zoom’). This can be done in post as well, although this is a great example of a practical effect that is often best when done in-camera.
To digitally approximate a dolly zoom, start by filming in a higher resolution than you plan to use – ideally, shoot in 4k and plan to render out in 1080p. Set up the shot where you plan to use the dolly zoom so that the camera is moving steadily, and the subject stays in the centre of the shot. With the project set up for 1080p, set scale and position keyframes at the beginning of your dolly zoom effect at a partial size, say 50% of the original, and set scale and position keyframes at the end of the zoom effect with the zoom at full. The position keyframes are for adjusting the clip position so that your subject stays as close to stationary as possible – this is important to the dolly zoom’s effect. If the subject moves too much, it disrupts the illusion we are creating.
That’s all there is to it! Use scale to simulate the zoom, camera movement similar to a dolly if you can (not essential), and position to keep your subject’s position fixed.
Hope that helps,

I have recently purchased Corel VideoStudio 2019. How do I remove the shaky video? Most of my shots are from a handheld action camera
Hello Ganesan,
For reducing shaky footage, we would suggest the ProDAD Mercalli tool from the Ultimate Content Pack – it can analyze the clip and reduce the shakiness automatically.

I’m basically asking both “How do I properly use this filter from
within Video Studio Ultimate 2019 Specifically.
Also I tried to load a video clip into Video Studio Ultimate and then
click on the Mercalli v.4
filter which then appears to launch the filter in the upper left window
within the V.S.U. 2019 program but the filter displays a statement over
the middle of the filter which says I need to Click on the “Analyze
Button” to process the video clip , however, I cannot find “ANY” such
Analyze button ANYWHERE in any of the windows in the V.S.U. program in
sight. So I cannot initiate the filter operation at all. I hope this is
clear enough.
Like I said I REALLY NEED specific instructions on HOW to USE the
Mercalli v.4 filter. What is the sequence of events I should expect
during the filter processing. There doesn’t seem to be any
description/help on this filter in the program at all and I’ve searched
on Corel’s website about the operation of this filter , with no results
found !
Hello Richard,
Sure! Here are the basic steps for using the Mercalli filter.
1. Drag the filter onto the clip you wish to stabilize.
2. Select “Options” on the right hand side, and customize filter.
3. Once in the customize menu, adjust your smoothing, border settings, and virtual camera option.
4. Click OK to let Mercalli analyze your clip! This is the step that catches people – the button does not say “analyze” specifically, so if you are less familiar with the proDAD suite it can be a little confusing.
Hope this helps,

I have purchased the VideoStudio2020 Ultimate just for the video editing. I have written for help and they have been nice.
On Edit Screen, FX, All and 80 plus filters appear as balloon images and sub-lettered.
Anti-Shake is only available item. There isn’t a proDadMercalli filter here. Unless it is unlisted as the Anti-Shake filter. Clicking an accessing this filter and using the dual screen I havnt found any definite step by step instructions to properly use this tool. The stabilized fixed videos seem to have major glitches within themselves.
I will try to figure this out but is this filter the proDadMercalli or a generic.
Looking for the BorisGraffiti isnt there either but the titling it had seems very good.
Any help appreciated.
Hello David,
It sounds like you don’t have the Ultimate Collection installed! The Ultimate Collection is a separate installer from VideoStudio itself and can be found on disc 2 of a box copy, or a separate “Ultimate Content Pack” downloadable installer if you have an electronic copy.

I’m using the 30 day trial for Video studio 2019 and many of the videos that I edit are gaming videos captured as HEVC, but the program doesn’t recognise that format. In fact, VS sees it as an audio file instead.
I installed the Windows 10 HEVC app from the sore but that made no difference.
I like the software, but this is a major drawback.
Hello Marc,
What capture device or software are you using, and what are its output options? VideoStudio supports HEVC2 as both a video input and output format. We have a complete listing of supported formats on the VideoStudio System Requirements page.
