That's really all there is to it!

RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE

"muvee autoProducer ... is a great deal and a tool I recommend that everyone purchase. If you're a beginner, this is a wonderful introduction to the world of video editing. It allows you to experiment with different styles and music clips without getting into the sometimes complex interface of a video editing application."

- Jason Dunn, "Faster Smarter Digital Video," Microsoft Press

ADVICE TO BUDDING ROCK STARS

"Get some digital editing software. I'd suggest muvee - make a music video in just three easy steps by combining photos and video with the music and themes of your choice. Make demo videos of your new tracks, performances, etc. Many professional video editors use this software to make demos and rough cuts for their clients."

- Rockstarist

THE OTHER "EASY" PROGRAMS TAKE HOURS OF WORK

"Both Movie Maker on Windows XP / Vista, and iMovie on the Mac OS X are easy-to-use applications -- but again they are very basic and you'll still end up working inside them for hours before creating your own VCD or DVD.

If you can identify with this situation, you should check out muvee.

For what it does, muvee autoProducer does it exceedingly well. It allows you to make your video captures more entertaining and interesting. It also provides you with a logical assortment of editing, tweaking, and sharing options -- nothing could be easier."

- Indezine

YOU'LL BE BLOWN AWAY BY ITS GENIUS

"autoProducer is going to revolutionize how people work with digital media. You'll be blown away by its genius - guaranteed."

- Chris Pirillo, Lockergnome.com, CPU Magazine

WHAT OTHER eBAY BUYERS ARE SAYING:

"terrific product - it really IS super easy to use!"

"A+, excellent service, amazingly good product"

- yoshi9055 (305)

"love love love LOVE this software...great communication and customer service!"

- ur2l8i1 (2)

Before muvee came along, I spent hours and even days trying to accomplish similar results using other video editing software or slideshow creation software. Over the last seven years, I've tried or used Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft MovieMaker, Microsoft's free PhotoStory, Adobe Premiere Elements, Pinnacle Studio, Roxio EZ CD Creator, PhotoSuite, VideoWave, Ulead DVD Movie Factory, and others I've forgotten.

Not one of those programs I've tried can really compare with muvee autoProducer 6 in terms of simplicity, built-in intelligence, and the elegance of the results you get. If they did, I'd be using them instead of muvee autoProducer 6.

To be totally fair, some of those software packages do things that muvee autoProducer doesn't do (and doesn't try to do because it doesn't try to do everything). Examples: you can't choose a different transition between every picture and video scene, or fine-tune the precise timing of every second of music and video, or designate the precise location and size of text super-imposed on a video clip, so every once in a while, I'll even get motivated to spend the time and mental energy necessary to use one of those other tools to work on video - but if you forced me to choose one piece of software in my digital media production arsenal, there's no question that muvee is the one I'd pick.

You see, even though I can be a bit of a control freak, I prefer to have software that does it all for me, and doesn't force me to make artistic decisions I'm not always qualified to make, even if I think I am. In my earlier video editing days using other software, for example, I'd put a different transition between every picture (because I could). Rather than enhancing what I was showing people, viewers were distracted by the variety of transitions. autoProducer, on the other hand, keeps things simple by combining all the rules of good video productions (such as how many transitions to use and what kinds) into a single, simple choice you can make called a "style." More on styles in a minute.

So, if you're a bit of a control freak like me, keep in mind that there are still many, many settings you can tweak and customize to get just what you want, but the beauty of muvee is that you don't NEED to learn much more than you've just seen above to get GREAT results. No other software out there can really claim the same combination of simplicity and sophistication - in fact, many competitors have tried (unsuccessfully, I should add, based on everything I've seen at least) to imitate muvee.

COMPETITOR CALLS muvee "PHENOMENAL"

"muvee AutoProducer (movie, get it?) is an amazing video product...The best endorsement? I asked the sales manager from a well-known imaging software program (yes, you'd recognize the name; no, I can't tell you) if he heard about muvee. "Yes," he exclaimed, "it's phenomenal and we have to do something similar." muvee is cheap...You'll be dazzled, I promise."

- Steve Bass, PC World

OTHER SOFTWARE CAN'T COMPARE

"muvee is such a great piece of software, I can recommend it without reservation for anyone wanting to make a video commemorating an event or making a music video. Other programs attempt to copy some of muvee's functionality as an "add-on" feature, but I have not seen these produce results anywhere nearly as good as muvee, and the manipulation, tweaking, and editing tools don't work nearly as well."

- Konstantin Othmer, CEO, Core Mobility

MORE CREATIVE CONTROL

"I've seen plenty of video-creation software packages, but few look as flat-out fun as muvee's autoProducer. autoProducer 6 gives you more creative control than most software I've seen, and is certainly easier to use: Instead of worrying about timelines, the program itself will analyze the video and images you select to fit the music you want to use, so everything lines up perfectly. Even more entertaining are the program's superStyles, which give you still more control over the final product."

- Matthew Murray, Computer Shopper

I first met Terence Swee, the co-creator of muvee, at a Comdex trade show in Las Vegas in 2002, not long after I had seen autoProducer in action for the first time. I was almost as impressed with his easy-going, good-natured style as I was with his contributions to the ability of muvee's software to analyze and sync video to digital music. I learned that Terence and a Scottish PhD named Pete Kellock, who had some serious expertise in electronic music, had come up with the basic technology behind muvee when they met because of their shared fondness for music when they were associates at a research think-tank in Singapore.

And after seeing Terence jammin' jazz in a Singaporean nightclub, all I can say is, "Wow!" Talent to spare...

I visited muvee (the company) last year, and can say that it was a totally delightful trip - the company now has over 100 people working in a fun-filled but focused environment. The meetings I attended and the people I met made it easy to see why autoProducer is so great. Their passion for helping people like you and me use their products to enjoy life more was easy to see and feel.

muvee HAS TRUMPED THEM ALL

"Every year millions of earnest hours of home video go unwatched and tossed on the shelf, never to be shared, because no one has time to edit the films into something watchable. The problem will get worse as the 50 million camcorders in use today are joined by cell phones and digital cameras in video mode.

The biggest names in tech are anxious to make video less of the ordeal that it is today. Video files eat prodigious amounts of bandwidth, memory and processing, spurring businesses and consumers to upgrade their PCs, screens and Internet connections.

Microsoft's Movie Maker and Sony's MovieShaker both have featured very limited automation of the video editing process. Yet sales of traditional consumer editing programs, such as those from Adobe Systems, Sonic and Pinnacle, are rising at least 15% a year. The industry claims to have sold more than 10 million copies.

But an unknown company from Singapore called Muvee (pronounced "mew-vee") has trumped them all with a simple, fun piece of software called AutoProducer."

- Forbes Magazine, 10 Jan 2005

As I understand it, after Pete and Terence came up with the basic ideas, they interviewed numerous video editing professionals and observed lots of video footage done by professionals to learn every possible detail about what the experts did to create the emotionally compelling, Hollywood-style movies and music videos we're all familiar with.

They then implemented that knowledge combined with their own genius and creativity from their backgrounds in digital music and analysis, and came up with some of the following key ingredients, many of which are patented and won't be available for use in other software for many years.

muvee's INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

• smartCuts - automatically trims on video boundaries and summarizes video
• smartAnalyze - looks for key moments and faces and removes low-quality video
• smartSync - synchronizes the effects and transitions with your music
• smartStyle - creates finished productions in a wide variety of styles
• smartSpot - automatically adds subtle motion (the "Ken Burns effect")

I've been involved in technology since 1978, and only rarely have I ever encountered a product or company that solves such a common problem so elegantly.

GREAT PRODUCT / SERIOUS TECHNOLOGY

"muvee is like many great products - it has a deceptively simple purpose - make music-video type movies out of files users shoot with their camcorders or digital cameras with a single click. And, like many great products, it has serious technology behind it. The real hook is autoProducer's uncanny ability to pick out the best bits and mash them together with the music."

- Nicole Freeman, Under the Radar Blog

SPACE-AGE TECHNOLOGY

"I have dozens of hours of video and thousands of photos stored on my computer, but I rarely have the ambition to actually sit down and edit all that footage down to an interesting DVD I can send to my parents. Thanks to muvee autoProducer, I no longer have to. muvee uses some sort of space-age technology to look for interesting parts of your videos and synchronize cuts to whatever music you choose. The results are great, and it takes very little effort to create short videos that are sure to satisfy the grandparents."

-Dave Johnson, PC World, Canada

Well, you have a few choices. You can take your content to a professional and pay anywhere from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars per professionally-done muvee - and it would be worth it. Even so, at that price, you'll probably only have muvees made for special occasions.

A second choice is to buy a piece of software from a well-known company (these packages generally run around $100), spend the hours and days it takes to learn how to use it, and then take many more hours to put each muvee together. Again, it would be worth it.

But the best solution is to simply buy muvee autoProducer 6 (even at $129.95, it's a steal if you value your time), and use to make as many muvees as you want, at no additional cost, in mere minutes each. You'll spend more time sorting through your digital photos and videos and choosing your music than you will actually using the software. After all, it's automatic.

What you need to run muvee autoProducer is a decent PC running Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows Vista and a basic knowledge of how to use it (and I DO mean BASIC - you have to know how to install and start a program, how to choose files on your hard disk, and how to click on things). Check out the system requirements on the right. If it's all geek-speak to you, then you can base it on the age of your PC. If it's newer than 4 years old and cost more than $500, you're almost certainly fine. And if your PC isn't up to spec, well, then you can justify getting a new one just so you can run autoProducer.

BETTER THAN TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

"When I first visited their Web site I thought it was too good to be true - software intelligent enough to do something creative like edit video? I downloaded the free demo, and the rest was history - I became one of muvee's biggest fans. To understand why, you have to realize that out of the millions of hours of video shot every year on DV cameras, a very small percentage of it gets edited. muvee Technologies has the goal of changing that by eliminating the need for consumers to make complex video-editing decisions."

- Jason Dunn, author of Faster Smarter Digital Video, Microsoft Press

muvee's secret is in the styles. Styles let you get the look and feel you want for your content (photos, video clips, and music).

For example, using the Classic style, your muvee will have gentle transitions (blended fades and cuts), slow zooms and pans (the Ken Burns effect), and a generally unobtrusive look that lets your content shine. Using the Back In Time style, your muvee will be sepia-toned (or black and white), in slightly fast motion and a bit jerky, with the lens halo and lint and film scratches that makes your content look just like it's from the '20s. With the Extreme Music Video style, your muvee will transform your content to a fast-paced, action-packed music video with special effects, random-length cuts, and everything else you'd expect from a professionally-done, high-energy music video.

There are two kinds of styles: legacyStyles and superStyles. superStyles were introduced with muvee autoProducer 6 (aP6) and allow you to adjust various aspects of the style, such as colors, pacing and other attributes that are applied to your content to create your muvee. Each superStyle lets you adjust parameters specific to its style, such as Back In Time letting you adjust how relatively "dirty" or "clean" you want the screen to be, and how much "fast motion" you'd like (1x, 1.5x, or 2x). legacyStyles have pre-defined parameters. Thus, each superStyle equals many (muvee says 10) legacyStyles because you have more flexibility and the ability to fine-tune the style.

muvee autoProducer 6 comes with 8 superStyles - check 'em out:

The previous full versions of autoProducer came with 24 legacyStyles. muvee has bundled the 24 legacyStyles into what they call the corePack, which is free with the purchase and registration of this version of autoProducer. So you not only get the 8 new superStyles, but you also get the 24 default legacyStyles. For many users, those are all the styles ever needed. For other users who want even greater flexility and choice, there are optional stylePacks available that include anywhere from 1 to 24 additional legacyStyles or superStyles.

Most stylePacks sold require a product key to install. There are a few free stylePacks that do not require a License key, including Valentines Day, Halloween, efx, Soccer, etc. Two of these are included with this version of aP6. Check muvee's web site from time to time around holidays; they sometimes make promotional styles available.

STYLES PROVIDE VARIETY & INVENTIVENESS

"Styles are autoProducer's secret sauce, providing variety and inventiveness that other products can't match."

- Jan Ozer, PC Magazine

STYLES MAKE muvee BETTER THAN iMOVIE

"muvee automatically makes your boring videos cool...

iMovie seems to have the lock on home video production; however, it's still difficult to just "drop" video in and create a completed quality production in a mere few minutes. A bit of work is needed from you, the producer.

muvee takes a different approach and it becomes the producer, hence its name, autoProducer... I was mightily impressed with the Journal muvee which easily puts your adventure into an easy to understand time line with a high production cost look. Sentimental is an excellent muvee for those heart-tug moments such as the birth of a child or the death of a loved one and anything in-between. Back-in-Time can add some fun and excitement as well as class to just about anything you video tape."

- SvenOnTech

VARIETY OF TEXTURES and EFFECTS

"AutoProducer 6 software is a remarkably user-friendly way to add a semi-professional sheen to holiday, vacation, wedding and other family-oriented videos, through the use of its unique style overlays. These templates superimpose a variety of textures and effects to what would otherwise likely be fairly pedestrian footage."

- Ed Driscoll, VideoMaker
