Who
has time and patience to edit videos taken of the kids' sports
games, musical performances, pets or a specific event that was
filmed? All those recorded videos are lying somewhere in a corner
awaiting a day, that never comes, when they will be edited? DACS
at its September 2nd general meeting Dave Whittle will present Muvee Technologies' Auto-Producer, software which allows users to edit raw video in three steps: your video, some music selected from the software and a style that best suits the situation. Muvee web page -- see the link from dacs.org - shows three fun styles: Chaplinesque -- Charlie Chaplin's peculiar 1920s style; fast sequential, that has quick cuts but retains the sequence of the video; and the third example is velvet, which is a smooth and slow-motion video. I hope that the speaker will elaborate and demonstrate all styles at the general meeting. Muvee's Auto-Producer trims and summarizes a video. It looks for the key moments and removes low quality video, which is great news for amateurs; it synchronizes the effects and transitions and, with the added advantage of the music of your choice, it produces a professional looking video. Surely, with the sleek video recorders available on the market nowadays, software that edits and presents a professional finish video so easily is a must.
Dave will also talk about Iseemedia's Photovista 3D Objects, which lets a company quickly create detailed, photo-realistic, 3D image objects that visitors to a web site can pick up and rotate at the click of a mouse. Precise editing features let you work with popular image files to mask, center, layout and output 3D image objects for the web. The files are compact and your visitors can view them on any browser, without a plug-in. I shopped for clothing online and it is always convenient to be able to check out the different aspects of an outfit, also this summer I have been checking out the sites of different resorts in Europe, envying the weather reported. It will be interesting to find out at the September meeting how those sites work. Bring a spouse or a friend to the general meeting, which is free and open to the public.

may
offer a simple solution to that dilemma.
I
have to admit that reading about the advantages and ease of use
of the software, I'm almost tempted to get one of those latest
video recorders, especially after finding out how easy it is
to put a final project together. Christmas is right around the
corner, isn't it?
