Since VHS tapes degrade, if you have video footage saved on VHS tapes that you would like to keep, you should transfer it to a more durable storage medium such as your computer's hard drive. Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus is a digital video-editing application that can capture video from external sources, such as video cameras and VCRs. So, if you have a VHS tape that you would like capture to your computer, you can do so in Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus.
Ulead Video Studio is a magical software for editing videos.Ulead Video Studio 11 enables us to edit our video efficiently at home.Ulead Video Studio 12 is more advanced than any other video editing software. This latest videos editor has more advance option like transition, filter, overlays, animated text, motions and other effects.
Step 1
Connect a VCR to your computer using a pass-through, such as a digital video capture device. Plug the audio and video cords at one end of the video capture device into the audio and video outs on the VCR or video camera, matching the plugs to the ports of the corresponding color, and connect the other end of the device to a USB port on your computer. Some digital camcorders have the ability to act as a pass-through device. To use a digital camcorder for digital pass-through, connect the camera to the video and audio outputs on the VCR or video camera using the audio/video cord provided with the camcorder and connect the camcorder to the computer using the computer interface cord provided with the camcorder.
Step 2
Launch Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus by going to the 'Start' menu of your computer, clicking 'All Programs,' clicking on the Ulead folder in the program list and then clicking on 'Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus.' When the application opens, launch the capture wizard by clicking 'Capture' from the main screen and then the 'Capture Video' button.
Step 3
Pull down the 'Format' menu. Choose the video format you would like to use for the captured video. MPEG comes up as the default option in Ulead, but other standard video formats, such as AVI, are available as well.
Step 4
Click 'Options' and then the 'Video Properties' link to set the properties of the incoming video. Choose 'Composite' as the 'Input Source' and, if you are in the U.S., 'NTSC' as the type of video being captured. Click 'OK' to return to the main capture screen.
Press the 'Capture Folder' button and choose the folder on the hard drive where you want the captured video to save. Then, click 'Start Capture' and begin playing the video in the VCR or video camera. When the video is done playing, or when you've captured the part of the video that you want to capture, click 'Stop Capture.' The captured video automatically saves to the folder you set as the capture folder.
Tip
VCRs and video cameras that use video tapes record analog video signals, which must be converted into digital in order for your computer to read them. The computer will not recognize a VCR or VHS video camera plugged into it directly.

1Features
Features[edit]
Basic editing[edit]
The software allows both storyboard and timeline-oriented editing. Different formats are supported for source clips, and the resulting video can be exported to DVD, AVCHD, HD-DVD and AVI. VideoStudio also supports direct DV and HDV capturing to disk.
Transitions[edit]
VideoStudio provides several categories of video transitions, including:
FX contains assorted video effects such as 'Burn' and 'Fade to black'
3D provides assorted 3D transition effects
Album a slideshow effect similar to that of a photo album.
Overlay[edit]
Users can overlay a Flash animation, an image, or text on the video. However, the number of overlays allowed is limited. The user must remove a particular color from the overlay video so that the required background or picture can appear in the foreground.
Other features[edit]
VideoStudio can change apparent video playback speed, reverse it, and modify hue and saturation. It provides tools that let the user trim, crop, and split video tracks. The soundtrack can be split from the video track, allowing the audio to play at a different pace than the video. A feature that Corel calls 'SmartRender' renders only the edited portions of video, so a user can preview edited footage without VideoStudio creating temporary files. This feature also makes final rendering much faster.
Proxy Video Files[edit]
VideoStudio supports editing of high-definition video. Proxy files are smaller versions of the video source that stand in for the full-resolution source during editing to improve performance.
Plug-ins / Bundles[edit]
VideoStudio supports VFX-type plug-ins from providers like NewBlue. The proDAD plug-ins Roto-Pen, Script, Vitascene and Mercalli-Stabilizer are bundled with X4, X5 and X6.
Multi-Camera Editor[edit]
From release X9 VideoStudio supports Multi-Camera Editing with up to 4 or 6 cameras depending on the version. This allows the user to sync and align clips, switch angles, cut, delete and add transitions.
