How to set the custom size of VideoStudio X8?

How to set the custom size of VideoStudio X8? If you use VideoStudio to make videos, many steps require custom actions to set, such as size, position, border, etc., all of which must be completed with custom actions. So the editor below will introduce you to the use of custom actions in VideoStudio X8. Please see below for details!

How to use VideoStudio X8 custom actions:

1. Position, size and rotation settings

This part of the settings is the most commonly used in customization

1. First add a piece of material to the video track, then right-click the material and click the Custom Action option.

2. In the custom action that pops up, see parameter settings such as "Position", "Size", and "Occlusion" on the left.

3. Position value. When the X-axis is negative, the material appears on the left side of the screen, as shown in Figure 1. When the value is positive, it appears on the right side of the screen.

4. When the Y-axis is negative, the material appears at the bottom of the screen, otherwise it appears at the top of the screen.

5. Size setting. Adjusting the X and Y axis values is the size of the material displayed on the screen. Unlocking "Unlock Aspect Ratio" allows you to adjust the X and Y axis values independently.

6. Blockage setting. Occupancy actually means transparency. The smaller the value, the darker the image, the larger the value, the brighter the image.

7. Rotation settings. The X-axis setting is to rotate along the X-axis, that is, flip up and down, as shown in Figure 3. The Y axis rotates along the Y axis, that is, flips left and right. The Z axis is flipped along the Z axis, which is flipping on the screen.

2. Shadow and border settings

Shadows and borders are the most commonly used settings when making electronic photo albums. This function is actually similar to VideoStudio Picture-in-Picture.

1. Shadow settings. The black bar at the top allows you to adjust the color of the shadow. Shadow opacity means the same thing as opacity. Shadow blur is the degree to which shadow boundaries are stencilled. The shadow direction is the direction in which the shadow deviates from the material, as shown in Figure 5. Shadow distance is the distance between the shadow and the material.

2. Boundary setting. In the white frame, you can adjust the color of the border. Border opacity is the same as described above. The larger the border size value, the larger the border. The border template fade value is the degree of feathering of the outer border. The border template fade-in value is the degree of feathering of the inner border.

3. Mirror and ease-in/ease-out settings

1. The mirror is the reflection of the material. Mirror opacity needs no introduction. Specular distance is the distance between the reflection of the material and the material. The larger the value, the further the distance. Mirror fade is the degree to which the reflection fades. The larger the value, the darker the mirror, as shown in Figure 6.

2. Ease in/ease out settings. It is the speed at which the material enters the screen. Click the ease in or ease out button, adjust the slide rail, and adjust the speed, as shown in Figure 7.

The setting of custom actions is actually mainly composed of the above three parts. The first part is the most commonly used. If you use it in the video production process, I believe everyone will find this function powerful. I hope the editor's introduction can help everyone!
