About VideoWave Movie Creator

VideoWave Movie Creator is an automated, yet powerful way for consumers to capture and edit video, burn it to DVD or CD, and share with family and friends. It provides three different editing modes with varying levels of automation: CineMagic, StoryBuilder, and the StoryLine Editor. With CineMagic, the customer simply captures video and adds their favorite song, while CineMagic automatically edits the video, synchronizes it with the music, and adds visual effects and transitions. The StoryBuilder option guides the consumer through the entire movie-making process step by step, using theme-based templates to make movies with titles, transitions, background music, and closing credits. The StoryLine editor gives the consumer complete control to edit or enhance all of the individual elements that make up a movie. StoryLine is a storyboard view of the movie with a set of easy-to-use editing tools, and offers transitions, text overlay, graphic overlay and over 100 special effects.
