Features

• Quick Sourcing of Video, Audio, Image Content
  MoviePlus makes it easy to gather content for your digital desktop studio. Capture video and audio directly from sources like a DV (digital video) camera, video capture card, even audio CD. Use the convenient Explorer pane to browse and preview video, audio, and image files from your hard drive and decide which clips to use.
• Scene Detection
  Any movie captured from your video camera or sourced from your hard drive—can benefit from scene detection. A simple slider allows adjustment of scene detection sensitivity, so individual clips can be used in your project in place of entire movie files—and the original file is left intact, not split into pieces by the process.
• Convenient Multi-Track Timeline Editing
  MoviePlus’s Timeline approach lets you build your movie by arranging elements along an unlimited number of chronological tracks, using simple drag-and-drop, cut-and-paste techniques. It's easy to trim in and out-points of your clips, adjust playback speed and direction, fade audio up or down, split a long clip into separate scenes, repeat individual clips or switch them on or off and that's just for starters. It's easy to preview your movie-in-progress at any time—MoviePlus's core processing means your movie is previewed in real-time with no prerendering of transitions or effects.
• Cool Transitions
  Automatic Transitions between two video clips makes MoviePlus a breeze. MoviePlus offers dozens of built-in, customizable transitions. Enjoy standards like wipes and cross-fades through to stretches, pushes, and pixellation.
• Video Effects
  Drag and drop from the Effects pane to enhance your movies with a wide range of customizable video-image correction filters and special effects. Choices include basic brightness, contrast, gamma adjustments, blur, sharpen, Chroma key, and greyscale.
• Keyframe Controls
  Transitions, effects, video motion, opacity, plus audio volume and stereo panning are now all "key-framable". You can specify changes over time and all the in-between steps are calculated for you. The changes themselves can also adopt different speeds or accelerations by changing the Keyframe properties.
• Video in Motion
  Now your videos can move around on screen and have custom zoom effects, simply set start and end points by resizing or moving the video in the Video Preview pane and MoviePlus calculates all the in-between animation steps. The same feature allows you to rotate, skew, and add perspective to your clips.
• Multiple Picture-in-Picture
  Create professional picture-in-picture effects easily using video clips or still frames... Easily edit the size and position of your video in the Video Preview pane. Perfect for showing supplemental visuals without detracting from the main movie, or tiling multiple videos together for a dynamic scene.
• Animated Titles
  Create your own titles by using a series of customizable title presets.
• Transparent Overlays including Support for Serif ImpactPlus Scenes
  All of MoviePlus's video tracks support video transparency to superimpose not just titles but any 32-bit transparent image (or video) over your movie's action. Make portions of existing video transparent by adding a Mask (as you might in a bitmap-editing program like Serif PhotoPlus) or by picking a solid colour to become transparent.
• Versatile Movie Export
  When you're done assembling your movie on the Timeline, let MoviePlus integrate all the elements and export the finished product.
• Flexible User Interface
  You can choose whether individual resizable windows (or panes)—such as Video Preview, Explorer, Properties, Effects, Transitions—are floating or docked, share the same screen area, operate in a split pane view, or even use a multi-monitor system.
• Serif Ease-of-Use
  From convenient media browsing to straightforward Timeline assembly to instant movie previews, with instant updates of mid-preview edits, MoviePlus makes it easy to get started with digital video editing.

• Outstanding Titles & Rolling Credits
  If you want to do digital video editing you can give your movie masterpiece a real professional edge with outstanding title sequences. MoviePlus 5 makes it easier than ever to create titles to be proud of with new support for Gradient Fills, Filter Effects, Transparency and enhanced control of placement and alignment.
• Preset Envelopes
  MoviePlus 5’s advanced Keyframe technology has now been made even more accessible through a comprehensive new range of preset Envelopes. These can be simply dragged and dropped onto video and audio tracks and will perform previously complex video editing techniques, such as Opacity, Transform and Crop, with ease.
• Flexible Quickshapes
  The popular Serif QuickShapes have been added to MoviePlus for the first time in version 5. QuickShapes are great for masking effects; easily add heart shapes to wedding videos and play the movie within them, or add a range of artistic shapes to your intros and outros.
• Storyboard & Media Pane
  Digital Video Editing made easy with MoviePlus 5 ‘s new Media Pane, making it simple to collect all the resources you need for your project in one place, ready for editing. Plus, you can even make simple edits such as trimming the start and end positions of your movie clips, directly within the Media Pane.
