Studio 400 Full Motion Video Capture & Editing
Fast, fun editing on your PC.If you’re like a lot of camcorder owners, you’ve recorded hours and hours of video. And chances are, all the video you’ve shot of your kids, your vacations, your parties, and other memorable events, is just sitting in the back of a closet somewhere. Well, now you can quickly and easily edit all this video into eye-opening professional-quality movies that no one will want to miss. It’s called Studio 400. And it’s the easy-to-use, yet powerful editing studio that runs on your Windows 95 PC.
With Studio 400, you simply cut and paste all the best scenes from all the footage you’ve shot. Then, it lets you punch up your movie with music, titles, special effects, transitions, and all those other goodies you only see in those big Hollywood productions.
With Studio 400, you don’t need to be a video expert or a computer whiz to make a movie.
You simply let Studio 400 copy your entire camcorder video tape onto your computer’s hard drive. (One hour of video takes less than 150MB of disk space!) As it copies, Studio 400’s SmartCapture technology detects each scene automatically. Then, all you need to do is use your mouse to drag and drop the scenes in any order you want. With Studio 400, editing and creating a movie is fast, easy, and above all, fun.
