I Have Pinnacle Studio 14 with all the bells and whistles.
I can only create a 720x480 recording to my stand alone DVD recorder.

Used it to grab the live visualizations and music.
Then imported into Studio 14 and spent about 2 hours editing.

The result sound is "OK", but video quality suffered with creation of mp4 file.
The mpg2, DVD compatible which is not accepted was much better.

I do have a direct from Studio 14 to YouTube option in the video creation,
this may keep more quality. ???

Frank,

Of course I couldn't see the video, but really enjoyed the music. I bet that was fun to make.

Nice One Seeker! Did you convert to Mp4 format from Mpg2 or did your program render it as one? I've had poor results with conversion and also a slow internet connection.

Tommy,

I rendered directly to mp4 file.
Also rendered the mpg2 directly.

Good question tho, rendering to one format,
then converting "may" contribute to quality loss.

In my ballgame don't have a way to record to HD.

But you just gave me an idea. YouTube does
take some kinds of HD formats.

My Studio 14 will generate HD formats.
Maybe by generating HD format, then converting to
required Youtube HD format the video quality could be improved.

Was personally disappointed in the video quality.
Only way to fix it is to remove existing file and
add new one. Links shared are then shot.

This train we are on is great sport!

After working about 90 minutes on the video quality issue.
Found out via "uncle google" an mpg file could be uploaded.

Took me about 30 minutes to "add" new video.
From what could learn you can only add new one and delete
old one.
Hence new link. Bit higher video and audio quality

I cannot re-edit the original post on this forum, sorry
beyond my control.

Don, had to make your nice comments go away... sorry bout that.

Later.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
