Meanwhile, the WiFi-enabled GoPro Hero Black action camera, priced at just $399, supports 4K “Ultra HD” resolution and AVCHD 2.0, he pointed out. “Action cameras are hot! The GoPro and Countour face many new rivals,” he said.
The new DSLR Stop Motion and Enlarge Mode in X6 emulates the viewfinder on a DSLR camera, offering a larger composition window that provides full control over aperture, shutter, white balance, ISO, and stop motion, for instance, without the need to touch your camera. “DSLRs continue modest growth and great quality,” according to Wood. Other new capabilities in X6 are aimed at supporting popular types of video cameras. “It’s much more intuitive,” he maintained. The new subtitle editor, which replaces the timeline-based subtitle editor in X5, is aimed at speeding the process of adding subtitles by automatically detecting speech in video, providing an editable list of “potential subtitle moments,” said Wood. In a demo, Wood showed how this feature can be used to attach an arrow to a skiier as she skis down a slope, or to attach names to runners that stay with them as they move down the road during a race. You can also use “multiple simultaneous trackers,” he said. With the new motion tracking feature in VideoStudio Pro X6, the software automatically tracks an object as it moves from frame to frame, attaching the same graphics to the object in each frame.
