If you’ve seen random clips from my live stream (such as outtakes) floating around YouTube, they were probably done by UncleJohn. Tonight in our GoToMeeting session, UncleJohn demonstrated muvee, which is what he uses to put these clips together for all of you. By the way, you can save 10% off muvee autoProducer by clicking through this link and you can get a special trial of GoToMeeting by following my link.

UncleJohn said it’s very simple to use, and has saved him a ton of time when making montages out of my video clip. Just add your photos or videos, select a theme and music, and let muvee do the rest.

One click and you can give your muvee the style of your choice. From scrapbook style to high energy. The style feature sets the mood with its unique effects and textures. There are an infinite number of ways you can personalize your muvees. Music, style, captions, voiceover, and even details like credits at the end are all yours to choose. The possibilities are wide open.

Even before you save your muvee, you can watch it instantly in full screen in DVD-quality. This allows you to review your muvee in greater detail and make ongoing changes at any time. You’ll see exactly what you’re getting instantly. And if you don’t like it, you can change it on the spot. Instant gratification super-sized. muvee Reveal makes everything easy. Automatic brightness, color correction, rotate image, red eye reduction, focus in on specific details, image sequence—you’re in control of it all and more.

I’ve used muvee myself many times in the past. It’s so easy to create a new movie. I love using it when I have small clips like from a vacation trip, and want to mash them up into one nice little movie clip. It takes about ten minutes to assemble and create a video, so you don’t have to spend a ton of time on this.

Remember to check out both muvee and GoToMeeting. Both of these programs can increase your productivity, and save you time. It’s always good anytime you can make your life easier.

Chris Pirillo Walking in a Winter Wonderland of Writing Thanks to my 50,000 YouTube Subscribers!! What are You Using for Your UPS?Are You a Movie Mashup Mixmaster with muvee?Corey Vidal and Me

I have used older versions of Muvee in the past, but it is near unusable these days, even on my above-average spec’d PC with 4GB of RAM.

I made the mistake of purchasing the most recent version, hoping that it would fix the problems I had with the previous version, but no, it simply clogs up when I attempt to make a muvee about 10 minutes in length, and eventually it crashes my system.

3 or 4 years ago, I could easily make a 60 minute muvee using hundreds of pics and dozens of video clips, but when I “upgraded” the Muvee Autoproducer program to get the new features that I desired, I was disappointed to find I could no longer do what I used to be able to do.

I think the main reason is that my photos and videos are much higher resolution, and it takes too much processing power, since even the older Muvee refuses to work anymore.

I recommend MemoriesOnTv instead…great program…not as flashy as Muvee, but what’s so “flashy” about having to reboot my computer when it crashes? :)
