Muvee doesn’t give you the kind of precise control that you get
from a standard video editing program, but it’s ideal if you have some raw
footage that you want edited as quickly as possible with music and transitions.
You’ll really have to try this program for yourself to see how it
works.
The muvee autoProducer video editing software How It Works To use muvee autoProducer, you first select your video files as you would with any video editing program. Muvee then lets you select from a series of options that will allow muvee autoProducer to customize the video to your liking. For example, you indicate the style of the movie and any background music that you want included in the finished film. Then you select the style - this determines the
pace of the video and what kind of special effects you want included. Once
you’ve made your selections, muvee autoProducer analyzes your clips, and using
your specs, generates a final movie. A Whole Bunch of Styles Muvee autoProducer is bundled with a whole host of styles to give your creativity free reign. Version 5 of the muvee autoProducer package has hundreds of styles to choose from. That’s a whole lot more than you will find in competitive offerings that try to do the same thing. These styles let muvee build your production to
either a slow or fast tempo, and give you a choice of themes that you can have
it to apply to the video. You can also download additional themes for free from
their web site. MagicSpot Technology 'MagicSpot' technology is a feature found in muvee autoProducer 5. Essentially, it enables users to control the pan / zoom motion that is applied to still pictures. This feature really sets the presentation of your digital still photos apart - you need to see it to believe it.The default function is
'Automatic' - which applies motion based on the user's chosen style. You can
also select a 'Manual' option that allows the user to choose between two
overlapping frames that they can move around to specify start and end points of
motion. The Tweak Muvee Feature The latest version of muvee autoProducer is much easier to use than prior versions. While the idea behind the software is to make video production automatic, it still gives you some control over the finished product, however. Muvee gives you the ability to fine-tune the
video to your liking. It does this with what the company calls a ‘tweak muvee’
feature. Basically, muvee autoProducer lets you
automatically replace a video segment with something similar (or different) in
terms of color and
tone. When the movie is
produced, you can get exactly the video footage that you want. Other Features This version of muvee autoProducer has some other improvements. With muvee's Batch Burning feature, it's so easy to combine muvees from different projects together and burning them into a single DVD. Also, the rendering time of the product was also
quite good, beating out its competitors in several of our test runs. That’s one
thing that you’ll appreciate about ‘automatic’ video production - you’ll have
more time to enjoy the video! Muvee autoProducer does have its shortcomings. The menus it created were sub par compared to those you could get from other video editing programs. Menus are important when you burn DVDs, as they contribute to the overall polished look and feel of the finished product.
Also, we noticed that the output files created by muvee were
created at a high bit rate. What this means is that these files make great clips
for streaming clips, but not for playback on your desktop or recording back to
tape. To work around this, you should save the output file to DV format and
consider burning to DVD using another program. Conclusion The idea behind muvee autoProducer is simple. Many people simply don’t have time to edit videos. Editing is a laborious, time-consuming process, and it’s hard for amateurs to get it right. Yet editing is a must to really make your home videos shine. Isn’t that why you bought that big hard drive in the first place? The pros at muvee have condensed all of their knowledge about how to edit video into one simple software product. Let muvee use its own ‘artificial intelligence’ to analyze your video, while you sit back to enjoy the fruit of its labors!
