Apologies for re-surfacing this thread…
@PG1 - just looked over the WL12 Manual (not updated from WL 11 or given the WL12 Trial a whirl yet), to see if there are any new video handling features/updates.
Then I thought, instead of distracting you away too much from your audio features/work in WL, maybe offload some of the (video) effort -
- I’d asked before about possibly adding/allowing VSTi ‘Instruments’ to load onto a track in WL. This would give access to tools such as VIDPLAY VST VidPlayVST.com - Home to handle all video hosting/basic editing… It supports far more formats/codecs, size and resolutions, well beyond what’s currently offered.
- Or, allow some ‘post processing’ mechanism in WL, whereby tools such as Shutter Encoder or ER Media Toolkit could be deployed as part of a wider workflow.?
- If not bringing VSTi functionality on board, how about adding MIDI Time Code output to WL, so tools like VidPlayMTC video player or others, could be used.? Again, because of the far wider video format/codec support.
The Shutter Encoder tool provides video fade-in/out functions and ability to add titles or Subtitling, and much more…
WL could allow for an easier route to ‘inject’ its audio output into SE, is all I’m suggesting (like I can in Cubase, using a short script, as an Audio Export post processing option).
Finally, are ‘vertical’ video file formats (9:16 aspect ratio) handled correctly now in WL 12 (TikTok, Instagram, FaceBook Reels, etc…), without resorting to any conversion hassles first…? If its still the same as the Cubase 13 video engine, then this will fail - orienting these (incorrectly) as landscape aspect ratio…
The vertical video file example in this thread (still available for download) fails to play in WL 11 at all on my (now ageing ) machine but can run ok in C12/13 - albeit with the incorrect aspect ratio mentioned, if you want something to check…
Playing Vertical Videos - 9:16 - Cubase 13 - Feature Request - Cubase - Steinberg Forums
It plays fine and correctly in VLC Player, Logic, Shutter Encoder, Windows Media Player.
