This software offers the ability to create and edit movies and photos, process them, and add various effects to enhance their appearance.
Videator offers an intuitive and easy-to-use interface that is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)'s Core Image and Core Video technologies. This makes it a suitable software tool for both home users and video professionals. With over 108 effects, filters, and transitions, Videator lets users layer movies, images, paint, music, and text over video. Users can also apply, modify, and re-order multiple effects, achieving subtle enhancements or achieve astounding artistic results.
The software offers key features such as making your movies/podcasts, taking snapshots, making slideshows, editing existing movies non-destructively, mixing music/sounds/midi easily, and choosing effects visually, among others. In addition, Videator lets you apply effects over time, fade in and fade out effects, apply effects via menu or library, layer text, images, and other movies, and drag out images from the well. The software comes with a full-screen preview mode, making it easier to edit your videos.
Videator also offers several custom Core Image Unit Plug-ins and automatically loads new Plug-ins. You can drop on effects from iMaginator, paint and erase in layers, and save effect chains, images, and movies in the library. The software lets you save effects as favorites, find effects fast, and offers unlimited undo capabilities. It reads RAW images and allows users to save as TIFF, JPG, PNG, or movie. Moreover, you can customize preferences and use the Spotlight plugin to search for help.
The software requires Quartz Extreme (supported by most newer Macs), and while an iSight or digital camera is not a requirement, it is nice to have. In demo mode, Videator does not allow you to save or print, but this limitation is not a concern for users who purchase the full version. In conclusion, Videator is an excellent software tool that offers features ideal for both novice and professional video editors.
