I've been a Studio user since V8, and I keep wanting these three features. I'm currently using V12, but have not been able to find the features. I'd be willing to upgrade to V14 if it had even one of these features....
1. Simultaneous multi-camera editing. I shoot a lot of video of things like kid's plays and I use up to 4 cameras to do it. I want to be able to have all 4 video streams to choose from and transition from one stream to another easily while editing. Four years ago when I wanted to do this I had to go buy Avid Liquid to do it becasue Studio was not capable of it. Can it be done in 12? If so, how? If not in 12, can it be done in 14?
2. Legitimate subtitles. The kind that TV uses. So that it can be encoded onto the video stream. When I called and asked Tech Support how to do this in Studio several versions ago I was told that the only thing I could do was add titles and re-render the video with the overlaid titles. Yuk. That would mean that I'd have to compress the video big-time to get both versions to fit. Here's the reason I want the feature: kids in school plays can very easily speak too softly for any mic to pick them up. Watching the video with no knowledge of what is going on is rather boring. I'd like to have subtitles to turn on and off so grandmas and grandpas can actually follow along.
3. Include a folder of high-res JPGs on the DVD. I'd like to include a couple hundred high-res photos that parents can access from their PCs. How do I use studio to make a DVD image that will include my full video segments, DVD menus, and a plain folder with files? Can this be done in either 12 or 14?
Thanks!
