Create movies with sound, titles, transitions, and dynamic effects using this software. Import footage directly from DV cameras or video capture boards and export to DV cameras or video files in modern compression formats like MPEG or Windows Media.
When it comes to video editing, having the right software is crucial. That's where VideoMan comes in - a powerful video editing tool with a range of features that make it easy to create professional-grade videos with ease.
General Functionality:
One of the most important features of VideoMan is its support for DirectShow filters and codecs such as MPEG, DivX, or QuickTime. This ensures that your video files are compatible with a wide range of devices and platforms.
In addition, VideoMan allows for easy import and export to DV cameras through IEEE1394 (FireWire) and offers complete DV camera playback control straight from the application. It also features stop-frame animation and 'Super screen' color keying which is particularly effective for fast and accurate keying of small details such as hair, smoke. With unlimited file size of output (no 2GB limit), unlimited number of overlay video tracks, and unlimited audio tracks, VideoMan gives creators the flexibility they need to bring their vision to life. Furthermore, the ability to insert project as a clip and set mark in and mark out during clip import make the editing process smoother and more efficient.
Video Quality:
VideoMan also boasts higher quality text rendering, especially if the text clip is on motion path. It also features a navigator window to easily locate clips on the timeline and the ability to create interlaced output from non-interlaced video input. This means that creators can convert their Flash animation to broadcast-quality video with ease.
User Experience:
VideoMan's unlimited undo and redo make the editing process less daunting, while the ability to preview with sound and export frame from Preview allows creators to fine-tune their creations. Grouping of clips on the timeline and instant reaction to user input further simplify the editing process. VideoMan also has a redesigned and customizable interface for a more intuitive user experience.
Additional Features:
VideoMan also offers time-lapse capture mode in VideoMan Capturer, antialiasing and interpolation of text shadow and transparency, antialiasing of frame edge in Motion Path, and support of alpha channel in Motion Path. Close document command to file menu has also been added for convenience.
Interface:
The preview, navigator, transition palette can be made popup and non-popup using the system menu. All windows are disabled during rendering to maximize performance, and the cursor is not blinking during rendering. VideoMan remembers the position of document windows, and the progress indicator can be dragged. Icons in construction and project window captions are also provided for better understanding. Finally, meaningless indicators such as CAP and NUM have been removed from the status bar for cleaner user interface.
Overall, VideoMan is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a comprehensive video editing tool with powerful features and an intuitive interface.
