Key features
MoviePlus basics
• Storyboard Simplicity or Timeline Editing Power!
Use the Storyboard for basic movie projects or "slideshow" image
montages. Clips are automatically arranged in sequence one-by-one
with inter-clip transitions. The Timeline lets you arrange video and
audio clips with editing freedom, working with an unlimited number
of video and audio tracks (or groups).
• Easy Project Setup
From the Startup Wizard and Media pane, importing media options
(Import from Disk and Copy from Device) offer to set up your
project according to the chosen media clip's properties. For example,
import a clip from your HD camcorder, and your project is set up as
an HD project automatically!
Gathering and managing media
• Media Pane
Your project's media (video, image, and audio files) can be gathered
together in a Media pane before commitment to your storyboard (or
timeline). You can reuse media for subsequent projects by adding to
the pane's Library tab. Fix incorrectly oriented image and video files by
one-click rotation.
• Import Media
Copy from camcorder, USB mass storage devices (hard drive,
memory stick/card, flash drives), or CD/DVD. MoviePlus transfers
media files straight from your device, ready for use in your Media
pane.
• Trimming and Splitting
Trim video clips to your preferred length in a dedicated Trimming
dialog, without affecting your original video clip. Create separate
trimmed scenes per clip, removing unwanted video or audio content
with ease. Optionally, just split (cut) your clip up into multiple scenes!
