Featuring a refreshed user interface, the upgraded muvee autoProducer unPlugged 2 now also includes magicMoments™ technology to give users more control over the scenes they prefer to keep or discard. Users simply pre-select their most important scenes for inclusion using a simple Thumbs-Up button if they choose to do so. Unwanted shots can similarly be excluded with a Thumbs-Down button. Users can also capture digital video direct from camera, weave pictures in with video footage and view plug-in styles by category.

"muvee autoProducer unPlugged is the only software for Media Center PCs that lets people work with their digital media in a creative way and produce compelling 'muvees' in the comfort of the living room using just a remote control," said Emarson Victoria, muvee's VP of product strategy. He added, "unPlugged delivers a much richer Media Center experience by enabling family and friends to come together in front of the TV and have fun transforming their home videos and pictures into personalized, emotive productions that are much more meaningful to watch than unedited footage."
Designed for the Windows® XP Media Center platform, muvee autoProducer unPlugged 2 is the first and only application to introduce instant personal video into the living room, by letting users quickly and easily make muvees on a TV screen using just the familiar buttons of a remote control.
unPlugged retains the core functions of muvee's award-winning PC application, muvee autoProducer, but presents them in an interactive, 10-foot Media Center-styled interface. Using the directional buttons of the remote control, users select their videos, pictures, music and an editing style, before hitting 'make muvee'. In minutes, unPlugged intelligently analyzes the selected media, then automatically cuts video highlights to the music, with appropriately-styled effects and transitions synchronized to the beat, creating a finished production. muvees can be previewed in real time on the TV screen, or instantly remade in a different style.
muvee autoProducer unPlugged 2 supports the following formats:
Video input: DV (AVI), MPEG-1, MPEG-2, Windows Media Video (WMV) and
QuickTime (MOV)
Picture input: JPEG, GIF and BMP
Music input: MP3, WAV, WMA, M4A (unprotected AAC)
Video output: MPEG-2 and Windows Media Video (WMV)
muvee autoProducer unPlugged 2 retails at US$69.95 and is now available for download from www.muvee.com/unplugged.
