The software bolt-on allows you to add menus and chapters to the finished project, but if you publishing to Youtube you will instead want the core rendered.
The primary purpose of the AVCHD option is to create DVD and Blue-Ray projects, and therefore incorporates high maximum quality settings and much higher bit rates. In order to create the highest quality High Definition video for publication you will need to render the video through the AVCHD publication process, extract the relevant. Why the software doesn't immediately prompt for a format on 'Upload to Youtube' is beyond us, but would explain many complaints of poor quality video others might have experienced. This is a good point of call for settings to use in the QTMOV category. This file can then be directly uploaded to Yotube, rather than run the risk of your painstakingly crafted 14Mbits showreel being compressed down to as little as 2.5Mbits and leaving compression artefacts all over the screen. The correct option to select in 'Create File' is QTMOV, a QuickTime format which will render with an h.264 codec at a reasonable if not enterprise-standard bit rate. WMV9 codec, an extremely lossy format as it turns out. However this process is not obvious, and in many cases will result in the file rendering in. The automated upload process attempts to render video according to the preferences set in 'Create File.', cycling through the options if any render attempts fail at and point. The HD PVR2 GE+ is capable of capturing footage in 1080p, but one distinct flaw in the package is that ArcSoft ShowBiz is a particularly unwieldy tool when it comes to uploading to Youtube.
One thing we will certainly give ShowBiz credit for is that the entirety of the video can be played in realtime before it is rendered for publication, giving you a final check that the entire project is as you want it to be.

Be sure to check your capture feed for the suitable Gamma rather than rely on your TV as a guide, and if in doubt err on the side of darker video for a slightly better final product.
This version of ArcSoft ShowBiz has no gamma correction capabilities, which was something of a frustration when we discovered that one hour of recorded footage was too bright despite it being ideal for our display panel.
#HD PVR 2 SOFTWARE HOW TO#
Two additional audio streams may also be added if desired whilst the main stream can have volume levels adjusted at any point in the timeline, although instructions on how to do this are again a little sparse. Text notes or watermarks can also be added to any point in the video through the text tool, and thankfully these are well identified in the timeline view. Other neat options include a built-in audio recorder for capturing commentary after the project's scenes have been laid out, allowing you to play the compiled footage and commentate as it happens. Special effects can be added through an editor similar to the scene trimmer, defining the effect and period of operation, but it's a slow process with little indication when applied without playing that section. Two additional audio streams can be added, for commentary or other purposes. Transitions are also included, represented as their thumbnail occupying a block of time equivalent to their duration. Scenes are presented sequentially by the blocks of time they occupy, in addition to their audio track. More complex edits including special effects and additional audio can be made in the Timeline view.
