MGI VideoWave II 2 PC CD create edit digital video editing special effects tools Type: Application Platform: Windows Publisher: MGI Released: 1999 Media: CD The democratization of Movie-Making has conducted many users to buy camcorders and video capture cards solutions. Indeed the price of such equipment reached $50,000 a few years ago. Now you can buy a complete multimedia editing solution for only $5000. But a remaining problem is that editing videos on computers has always been a hard and dull task to do especially for novice users that discover tools like Adobe Premiere (which is certainly very efficient software) but also very complex. The Canadian ‘eye’ software manufacturer, MGI, has unveiled to the world its video solution: VideoWave 2. This software brings simplicity to edit high-end videos on computers. One sentence really reflects what this new release brings to the product: “PC Video Made Even Easier.” If I have to say something about it I’d say ‘Simply the best’.Features- Support of analogue video capture including USB Cameras and brand new support for DV camcorders and PC connection standards (IEEE-1394 / FireWire).- Unique SmartDV technology that only renders or produces the parts of a DV video that have been edited in order to speed up the production of DV movies.- Advanced MPEG engine that supports real-time MPEG-1 & MPEG-2 capture regardless of source.- StoryLine templates- Ability to change the colors of text effects for each Start, Hold and Finish position- The Special Effects editor of VideoWave 2 allows users to apply any of the 26 included special effects.- Publish templates: the produce movie box allows you to select your output format from a complete list of preset templates (MPEG1/2;VideoCD; Video Email; WebVideo) But you can also create your own production templates.- VideoWave includes a number of predefined templates for various hardware capture cards.
