<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.muvee.com/?promo=jdunn' target='_blank'>http://www.muvee.com/?promo=jdunn</a><br /><br /></div>"muvee Technologies, the pioneer in automatic video production, is proud to launch the new muvee autoProducer 3 with revolutionary magicMoments™ technology for fast and easy home movie-making. magicMoments now gives users more control over the content of their muvee productions by letting them quickly highlight their ”must-have‘ shots for inclusion in the final production with a simple Thumbs-Up button. Shots that must be excluded get the Thumbs-Down. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/muvee-magicmoments.jpg" /> <br /><br />In minutes, muvee autoProducer takes care of all the editing by combining the chosen highlights with automatically-selected scenes from the remaining video footage. The software also automatically adds in effects and transitions that are carefully selected to give the final production a professional touch and "style". muvee autoProducer comes with 24 built-in styles, which range from kids‘ styles featuring cartoon overlays, to slow-motion romantic ones with long fades. Users can instantly change the look and feel of their video productions simply by applying different styles. Additional plug-in styles can also be downloaded from muvee‘s styleLabs at <a href="www.muvee.com/website/stylelabs.php">www.muvee.com/website/stylelabs.php</a>, where new styles are released every week. <br /><!><br />Dr. Pete Kellock, founder and CEO of muvee Technologies said, —We‘re very excited about introducing magicMoments to everyone, as this new technology now lets you make videos just the way you want œ automatically. muvee autoProducer‘s Artistic Intelligence does a good job of automatically picking out the best shots from raw footage, but we couldn‘t always guarantee that your wedding kiss was included in the final production, or that your ex-girlfriend‘s face was excluded. magicMoments addresses this, so that users can now quickly mark the most crucial shots, and leave the remaining footage to muvee‘s intelligent auto-editing abilities. It‘s just as quick and simple to use, but the results are even more satisfying.“ <br /><br />Designed to be fast, easy and fun, the award-winning muvee autoProducer is a user-friendly PC application that enables anyone to automatically turn dull home videos and pictures into professional-looking productions. Users simply add in their videos and pictures, choose some music, and apply a creative editing style. Within minutes, muvee autoProducer analyzes the footage to pick out key scenes, before automatically cutting these video highlights to the music, with cool effects and transitions synchronized to the beat. <br /><br />muvee autoProducer 3 with magicMoments is now available in English at ⁄ 49,95 from <a href="www.muvee.com">www.muvee.com</a>. muvee Technologies will release this version of the software in 16 other languages in May 2004. <br /><br /><b>About muvee Technologies </b><br />Founded in 2001, muvee Technologies is a privately held company headquartered in Singapore with a subsidiary, muvee Technologies, Inc. in New York. To date, the award-winning muvee autoProducer has sold into over 77 countries worldwide, and is currently bundled with products by Hewlett-Packard and ATI, among others. muvee‘s patented technology is also licensed by Sony and Roxio. <br /><br />muvee Technologies will be exhibiting at CeBIT 2004 in Hannover, Germany (Hall 2, stand B02-8) from March 18-24, 2004. <br /><br />Media Contact: <br /><br />muvee Technologies arcendo Communications <br />Tania Chew Olaf Engelmann <br />Tel: +49 (0) 173 669 7049 Tel: +49 (0) 89 489 013 <br />E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected]

I would like to give muvee Technologies a "Two Thumbs up" for adding this feature to the product.

As a current Version 3 user I hope this is a free update, and not an Upgrade for $.

Just checked and it will cost me an additional $20 to get this one feature.

Great move on their part to add that feature. That was definitely a major thing to be missing before. I've been meaning to try this for a long time now (ever since Jason first mentioned it on PPCT). It's not what I want to do mostly, since to me, the whole point of the hobby of video editing is... well, editing. On the other hand, even the most dedicated hobbiest sometimes has a need to just toss something together quickly for the family or whatever, and this sounds like it would be perfect for that. This new update may be the one that actually gets me to try it.

Very cool. I think this will make editing quite intuitive.

And the subscriber discount will be coming when ??? :lol:

Come on Jason, I am so spoiled by PPCT discounts that I can't pay full price. I am holdin off on buying this and Picasa until the DMT discounts arrive.

I've secured a 20% discount from muvee and Picasa is also interested in offering a discount (amount TBD). Subscriber services will launch sometime this week - everything is finally finished. :-)
