VidStudio 1.85(05.08.2016 )
An option to flip video output was implemeted ( video settings dialog, restart of app is required ). Some programs like Skype flipped original video - so this flag will solve your problems.Happy flipping :-)
VidStudio 1.83(15.04.2016 )
Minor application extension - now you can load scene on VidStudio startup by passing needed scene file as a parameter. You have to edit your shortcut adding scene location as startup paramerter.Be happy!
VidStudio 1.82(14.03.2016 )
Extended overlay and background modules. Now the system will track changes in files used for overlay and background and update view if needed.This is useful when you want to create dynamic overlay content with external software.
Happy streaming :-)
VidStudio 1.81(26.09.2014 )
A guy asked me to add next and previous buttons for slide-show.That's all falks :-)
VidStudio 1.80(26.11.2013 )
Several issues fixed, should be more stable now.Btw if you plan to use VidStudio with Skype note that you must configure virtual camera at lower resolution ( strange Skype restriction )
:-)
VidStudio 1.79(04.07.2013 )
Now you can run several instances of VidStudio and only the first instance will output to Virtual Cam. The other instances will be secondary and act standalone. Running standalone VidStudio can be used in combination with Network Trasmitter to send signal to another PC. One scenario could be used to make a video wall ( a guy asked me about this )Have a nice day :-)
VidStudio 1.78(22.02.2013 )
Fixed a problem with saving of scenes, now saving should be ok. Also I've added simple crash reporting mechanism - if you have problems you have to send me the crashed log file. A critical bug was killed - now switching of scenes will be much more stable :)
Bye :-)
VidStudio 1.77(21.08.2012 )
I've added system wide scene shortcuts - now you can switch scenes with CTRL+scene num ( CTRL-1, CTRL-2, ..., CTRL-10 )Improved Desktop capture module - added capture cursor option, fixed area capture, small memory leaking problem solved.
Enjoy :-)
VidStudio 1.76(24.07.2012 )
Fixed a problem with image scaling on multicore systems. Most systems are multicore now so you have to upgrade as soon as possible :)What was the problem: in some cases a line appears in random places on video output.
Happy video making!
VidStudio 1.75(17.07.2012 )
I've added extended support for DirectX video capturing. This will allow you to get content from more games and programs ( Skype video can be captured now ).Synchronization of video mixing was improved. Now you will not see annoing video glitches.
Best :-)
VidStudio 1.73(06.07.2012 )
Added a new frame size 1900x1200. Precompiled VirtualCamera module for better performance.See you soon :-)
VidStudio 1.72(21.03.2012 )
Another quick update in WebmProducer. Seems that VorbisEncoder filter is leaking memory in some cases - if leaking is detected WebmProducer will restart itself and continue.Small fix in ftp configuration was done.
PS: On some systems WebmProducer may not build correct graph - usually the reason is missing good color space convertor. To solve this problem I advise you to use ffdshow decoder filter. You just have to enable processing of raw video ( in Codecs section, bottom )
Good luck!
VidStudio 1.71(21.03.2012 )
Now configurations are stored in user workspace ( VidStudio in Documents ) - there were some problems with user rights.Installation script was modified. That's it.
VidStudio 1.70(20.03.2012 )
WebmProducer - a new module for creating WebM video file(s)Now it's possible to create a sequence of video files (m1.webm,m2.webm...) and do HTML live streaming.
WebmProducer will create video files on your disk and if you wish you can upload them to ftp server.
By splitting video in small portions ( ~ 5 seconds ) you can achieve almost realtime video streaming.
All you need is access to running Web server ( serving static files, no more ). You can upload content via FTP, or if your machine have web server installed to put generated files in web shared folder.
WebmProducer.ini - this is the configuration file of WebmProducer, read the comments inside!
Check some HTML5 streaming example - here ( download needed files - here )
At the end you can use WebmProducer only as a recording software. It's up to you what to do with generated videos.
Happy video broadcasting :-)
VidStudio 1.65(16.02.2012 )
I wanted to improve the video scaling quality and implement a new scaling routines using bilinear interpolation. The result is good, but more CPU is required.
To enable this you have to check Bilinear scaling in options dialog.This version is using OpenMP technology to boost performance on mutlicore systems. Hope your system have more cores :-)
VidStudio 1.63(14.02.2012 )
Maximum number of scenes is set to 20 ( hope this will be ok for everyone ). Several small improvements in loading saved scene. Happy valentine's day!
VidStudio 1.62(01.02.2012 )
Now defining capture area in Desktop capture module is working.Enjoy!
VidStudio 1.6(17.01.2012 )
Fixed a critical crash on loading scene file. Now the video source limit is 50 ( was 10 before )Happy new year!
VidStudio 1.5(02.08.2011 )
Fixed several critical problems crashing the application. This version is using a new compiler system. Hope it's more stable and usable :-)Happy summer!
VidStudio 1.4(29.06.2011 )
I've decided to make the product totaly free. No more watermark logo inside the video window.Enjoy and donate! :-)
VidStudio 1.3(04.01.2011 )
This release includes a new module for video playback - VidPlayer. It's a simple application for those who want to show the output to a monitor or TV screen. It also supports Blackmagic's DeckLink video output.Happy new year :-)
VidStudio 1.2(11.12.2010 )
More stable and more user friendly version. Extended capture module - now you can select AVI or MKV video containers. MKV seems to produce better results in general case.That's all folks!
VidStudio 1.2 rc1(22.11.2010 )
Finally I've added video resolution change. You can go from tiny 320x180 to fullhd 1920x1080. You can also select framerate as needed.
Beware, when you do resolution change you have to restart the application. Also if you are using NetBridge you will have to take care both machines to be configured to use same video resolution.Another major change is improved video mixer. Now each video source has option to keep aspect ratio. A little better data handling.
Several bugs were removed, and maybe several were added :)
Happy video producing!
VidStudio 1.10 (11.11.2010 )
This is first stable release. Small user interface changes, now the video output window can be resized. Few bugs were killed :-)Enjoy!
VidStudio 1.10 rc1 (29.10.2010 )
Hi folks,This major release includes several new features. The main addition is chroma key feature ( also known as greenscreen, or bluescreen ). Chroma key is implemented on source level - so you can have a mixture of different scenes with several greenscreens. This feature is suitable for making virtual studio.
Next important update is Network module. Now NetBridge can work also in TCP transfer mode. TCP is more reliable, but slower in general case.
VidStudio camera was upadeted to produce better video content. This change also affects video recording module.
See ya!
VidStudio 1.0rc2 (13.10.2010 )
This version includes improved installer/uninstaller - new user interface, removed problems when installing over old version, faster install.
Several bugs in live camera module were removed. Fine tunning of NetBridge application.VidStudio 1.0rc1 (08.10.2010 )
First release candidate was released. This version includes extened scene control module - now you can switch scenes automatically in a given period.
The problem with slow or incorrect rewinding of captured video was solved.
Currently it is not possible to change output resolution ( 640x480 x 25fps), but we've added more precise control for live video sources. Now you can specify capture mode. i.e. resolution, framerate and colorspace.
However for best results it is recommended to use 640x480 in RGB24 video format at 25 fps.NetBridge was extended to work in bad LAN conditions, now you should get better video transfers.
I'll be back! :-)
VidStudio 1.0beta3 (02.10.2010 )
Massive update to NetBridge was done. Removed an annoying problem with bad video quality ( mixed colors). Added compression routine to lower needed LAN bandwidth.
Sending uncompressed video over LAN requires 1Gbps network to work properly. However with enabled compression you will be able to fit in 100Mbit in most cases.
Using compression has it's cost - more CPU load, so use it with caution.
However for optimal results it's recommended to use 1Gbps LANs.See ya!
VidStudio 1.0beta2 is here ( 30.09.2010 )
People from streamer.bg had a long list with problems and recommendations. And a lot of things where improved in this beta.
Capture module was redesigned to allow video and audio synchronization, added deinterlacing capabilities, remove some UI problems, the code is more safe now.Beta3 is under development - expect some small new features. The goal now will be stability.
Thanks for making VidStudio more stable and user friendly!
VidStudio has it's own web page ( 15.09.2010 )
I finally managed to start making a web page for VidStudio project. Today is the official birdthay of this web site.
The site is in development stage, but I will try to make it a good starting point for all video making enthusiasts.
You could help me by checking the beta version of VidStuio and let me know what you think about it. Don't hesitate to write me a mail. Thanks for reading!
And Happy Birthday, vidstudio.com! :-)
