muvee Releases AutoProducer 4
Posted by Jason Dunn in "SOFTWARE" @ 10:20 PM
muvee AutoProducer is, without a doubt, the most innovative video application I've ever used - it's so completely unique that even the closest competitor can't come close. In short, muvee is software that will automatically edit your video for you, and do a pretty damn good job of it at that. Sounds too good to be true, right? In this case, it actually is that good. And since they have export settings for mobile devices, it's not that off-topic. ;-) Here's a blurb about the new version:
"muvee autoProducer now comes with an all new version - muvee autoProducer 4. The award winning muvee autoProducer is the fastest and easiest way to transform videos and photos into slick productions... in seconds! muvee autoProducer 4 now comes with many new and cool features such as DVD authoring, improved photo-centric effects, improved music effects, support for more video formats and much more!"
This new version looks seriously juiced up - muvee was incredibly innovative when it came out a couple of years ago, but I felt like it was stagnating when new releases added only minor benefits. With version four, it looks like they've addressed my #1 complaint: no WMV support. They now support import of MPEG1, MPEG2, WMV, MPEG4, AVI, and DivX. The app outputs in MPEG1, MPEG2, WMV, MPEG4, AVI, and DivX as well. Photo import has been enhanced as well, with support for BMP, GIF, JPG, TIFF, and RAW. In fact, in looking at the list of features, it looks like they've made it into what I've always wanted: it has DVD burning, real video editing, and real titling features.
muvee 4 is normally $69.96 USD on their site, but they have a three day Christmas promotion where it's 40% off that price, making it only $41.97 USD - not bad at all! They don't have a demo for download yet (it's still 3.5), but 4.0 looks like a winner so far! [Affiliate]
UPDATE: Between last night when I posted on this, and this morning, they took away the 40% discount and replaced it with a 20% discount. :?
UPDATE #2: the 40% discount is back! Quick, grab the software before they take the discount away again. :roll:
