Hi Jeff,

There is no option for 60fps under export to MP4 or HEVC that I can find, only 59.94.

@brent-harmon

File, Export movie, Video as MPEG-4. Click on Display all and open the dropdown. Select the one that you want.

The 59.94 option can be changed manually to 60fps and it still works.

@CubeAce

Hi Ray,

Thanks for that.

I wonder why it's not in the popdown list.

John CB

Hi thanks for reply's

Basically what I am trying to for a follow YouTuber is re-render his old live stream from say like 1280x\564 at 30fps to 1920 x 1080p 60fps was able to do with Studio platinum for a long time until 18 came out and seem as though that old way of doing this change mean when you go to file and render as to select the right one it is no longer there or the wording has change with studio 18 platinum, so therefore and stuff I have now had to go to Pro Version 19

@brent-harmon

Glad to hear you have resolved what you are wanting to do, albeit with an additional purchase!

However, unless former versions of Movie Studio include some kind of "black magic" feature I'm honestly not sure whether upscaling the original 1280 x 564 30fps to 1920 x 1080 60fps will actually achieve any really appreciable "improvement" of the original footage. To gain the higher frame speed means, essentially, that every existing frame must be duplicated; fair enough, but the content of each of them is not changed. You cannot "add detail" which is not there in the original footage! Careful use of the built-in editing tools can, potentially, somewhat improve the visual presentation but I would be very interested to view even a short section of the "original" footage alongside the same footage from the "improved" version.

I'd be happy to be proved wrong in my old age!

@emmrecs

Here you go. These were from the same source (VHS de-interlaced), not a re-encode as @brent-harmon will have to do. Not a lot of difference, but zoom in and check the pixellation. 720x576 on the left, 1440x1080 on the right.

@AAProds

Hi Al.

Thanks for this, though I'm honestly not sure whether you're agreeing with me, or otherwise!

Zooming in does show some decrease in pixellation in the second image, but is it enough to justify the work involved in rendering it at the increased size??? 😇😇

Dunno about "the work" involved, Jeff, I just click the same number of buttons and (eventually) it comes out! 😀

@AAProds @emmrecs @brent-harmon @browj2

To me the original has more noise but is sharper.

The enlarged version looks like it has less noise but is softer,

possibly as the copy is probably using a larger grid of pixels to combine on each still image. I'm not sure I would notice a difference when played back depending on my monitor size, resolution of screen and viewing distance. Everything looks great on the back of my camera and phone, even when I zoom in on an image. Not so great looking when imported onto the PC.

The images above are bitmaps bye the way. Sorry about the cropping difference but both enlarged to the same size.

Ray.

@AAProds

Hi Alwyn

I agree with @CubeAce on the images.

Dassault Mirage III?

John EB

@johnebaker @brent-harmon @emmrecs @browj2 @CubeAce

Gday John, yes, RAAF Mirage III O. Full video on YT:

Point taken, Ray. There's not a lot in it and as you say, when it's actually playing it's very hard to spot the difference. I think I prefer the big one on my (big) TV though. As I said before, both of these are from the original source AVI file, so Brent will possibly lose a little as he is re-encoding his 1280x564.

@AAProds

Hi Al.

I think if I was re-encoding this again I would be more concerned with the really annoying electronic signal in the opening shots and try to reduce that with a narrow band filter as it would not interfere with the vocal communications going on. Funny how the colour reminded me of earlier 70s Agfa film stock.

Ray.

@CubeAce Arr, yes, the curse of all VHS videos taken at RAAF bases at the time. It was the beam from the ATC radar sweep. I might pick your brains about that later. Zit Zit!

@AAProds

Hi Al.

You would need a parametric EQ filter you can sweep and keep narrow.

MEP has fixed EQ bands unless you have another audio mixer to hand. I am willing to give it a go from my end later if you wish.

Ray.

@CubeAce

Hi Ray,

MEP has fixed EQ bands unless you have another audio mixer to hand.

Do you mean another Equalizer, not audio mixer?

If you have another EQ (64 bit), then are you using it in MEP as a plugin?

John EB and I both have and use Melda MDynamicEQ in MEP/VPX through the Mixer.

John CB

@browj2

Hi John.

I was referring to not having to use third party plugins. There may be a free one out there for Al to use if he doesn't have one. £85 may be over the top for a one off use as useful as Melda M Auto Dynamic EQ may be.

Ray.

@CubeAce

Hi Ray

John CB and I use Melda MDynamicEQ (£59) not the Melda M Auto Dynamic EQ (£85), and it does a lot more then initially meets the eye.

I use it for compressing/limiting audio to the EBU R128 standard in conjunction with the Youlean Loudness Meter, finding it gives a better softer limiting than other limiters while retaining clarity of the audio.

In addition it has some filter effects, which IMHO are excellent for the price point, adjustable, such as the notch filtering features as shown below

Melda Production also has MEqualizer, which is free, and has 6 bands which can be positioned anywhere in the audio spectrum.

John EB

@johnebaker

They look good John.

I looked at the free package but it looks like I'd need a bigger C: drive first. A 404Mb download exe file.

Things are beginning to look a little cluttered on my C: drive. Only 78GB left.

Ray.
