Digital Home Thoughts: muvee Releases New StylePack: photoAlbum

"muvee, the pioneer and leader in instant home movies, today released three new superStyles in its photoAlbum stylePack. muvee’s styles are an essential aspect of muvee-making and are designed to work with muvee autoProducer and muveeNow software, where they function as themed templates to give a unique look and feel to each production. Each style has its own set of graphics, effects and transitions that are applied to a user’s video and pictures and automatically synchronized to the tempo of their chosen music to create a professional-looking home movie. When used with muvee autoProducer 6 software, each of the photoAlbum superStyles – Scrapbook, Coffee Table Book and Little Ones – can be customized to create a variety of different looks. The photoAlbum stylePack is now available for download. Karen Ng, muvee’s style director, said, “The superStyles in photoAlbum let users create a variety of digital scrapbooks, virtual albums and flip-style calendars out of their video and pictures that can be watched on a PC, shared via email, uploaded online or burned to DVD.”"



I took the new StylePack for a spin, and it works quite well - the three styles it gives you (Scrapbook, Coffee Table Book, and Little Ones) work quite well with photos. If you're a user of muvee AutoProducer, and you work with photos on a regular basis, you should definitely check this out. The fact that muvee AutoProducer can now output a 1920 x 1080 resolution WMV also makes for some interesting possibilities. Now if only muvee AutoProducer 6 wasn't so damn sluggish on my hardware - it's bizarre how slow and unresponsive it is. Any other muvee 6 users out there seeing the same thing with the product on Vista?
