Just like a pro...
That's right, you're in charge when it comes to making your movie. And we're talking about all the cool stuff, not just video clips. We're talking transitions, special effects, and animated text. You can keep things simple, sure. But you can also add fun frames around various parts of your movie, intro and ending credits, ongoing commentary or music (or both!), and ton of other cool special effects.

Now that's cool!
Okay, so you've probably added text to your videos before. What's the big deal?you're thinking. Wait until you check out our new Fancy text sets, along with our huge collection of text effects. Preview everything within the video player to ensure you get exactly what you want.

How'd you do that?
That's what everyone will say when they see how your movie scenes change one to another. A variety of wipe, fade, and dissolve effects are included to make your movie flow. Get rid of rough cuts and pauses by having one segment slowly melt away as the next scene fades in.

Your style... or ours
Our creative content group included a bunch of cool menu designs and backgrounds suitable for all types of movies and occasions. Pick any one you like. Of course, you're free to use your very own pictures as your menu backgrounds. Give your movie a title and label every single chapter in your movie. You can even set the chapter thumbnails to show any frame from the corresponding video clip and title each chapter however you like.

Oops, did you make a mistake?
No big deal. You aren't doomed if you've made an error and already burned your DVD. With compatible media, you can go back to edit your DVD discs without worry. We understand that DVD discs can be expensive, so we made sure that none of your work goes to waste.

No time? No problem!
