I hate this product! I love this product! I'm waffling.

Using muvee autoProducer almost makes everything I have endeavored to teach regarding video editing to readers and students over the years simply superfluous. Just install the muvee autoProducer software in your computer, connect your DV camcorder via an IEEE1394/FireWire (or i.Link) port, and capture the video directly to your hard drive. And, you're virtually done with your editing!

After capture, the muvee auto-Producer edits it all for you. You just need to tell the program a few things like the kind of visual editing style you want and the music to use, and it does it all itself--automatically. And, amazingly enough, it works! It creates smooth-looking edited productions in a fraction of the time it would take to do it using standard video-editing tools.

The muvee Technologies people have developed a series of innovative technologies that analyze the video, analyze the music, and then construct and output a video, combing a wide range of effects, transitions and wipes. It goes through your captured video, picks out faces and close-ups, and then edits it to whatever style and music you have selected. It drops existing audio and only uses the selected music tracks. The finished muvee production comes out ready to be saved or distributed.

The muvee autoProducer won't put Hollywood editors out of business or seriously threaten prosumer wedding and event videographers, but it sure makes creating a personal or family video so much easier and so much FASTER! It is hard to believe.
