    input, edit and output resolutions in both AVC and MPEG-4 formats

    navigation and chapter points. 
    
--  NEW! DSLR Stop Motion and Enlarge Mode: The new DSLR Enlarged Mode
    emulates the camera's viewfinder, providing a larger composition window
    with complete settings for aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and more. The
    cinematic quality of HD-DSLRs make VideoStudio Pro X6 ideal for pro-
    quality stop motion productions for users of any skill level from
    education to advanced stop motion artists. 
    
--  NEW! Support for QuickTime movies with alpha channels: Adding to the
    products' compositing and effects capabilities, users can now import
    animated sequences that contain transparent backgrounds allowing them to
    create animations and video effects in popular 2D and 3D animation
    packages for use in VideoStudio Pro X6. 
    
--  NEW! Subtitle Editor: The new Subtitle Editor will automatically detect
    speech in video, providing an instant, editable list of potential
    subtitle moments, accelerating the production process when adding
    subtitles. 
    
--  NEW! Swap tracks: Users can swap overlay tracks, making it faster and
    easier to reorganise a project containing multiple overlay tracks. When
    tracks are swapped, all associated media within each track is retained
    and carried over as well. 
    
--  NEW! Variable Speed: The new Variable Speed feature allows users to
    quickly make adjustments to a project's playback speed at multiple
    intervals. Excellent for action and 50/60p video.
