Easy Media Creator Reviewer's Comments

The Easy Media Creator Suite is a full media editing solution that includes video, audio and photo editing tools. This version can work with numerous video formats including HD–V, Windows Media Center recordings, DivX, TiVo, Blu–ray and MP4s.

This program has a good collection of video editing tools, transitions, special effects and audio mixing. However, it does not have the ability to stabilize or refocus video.

Editing Tools/Options:  

Easy Media Creator provides a good compilation of video editing tools beyond the basics. The database of movie-creating effects includes 250 transition choices, 100 special effects, 37 overlays and 58 text effects. It also supports personalized changes like original text, overlay effects and customized templates. To simplify the movie editing process, you can use the CineMagic tool, which can create movies automatically.

Video Capture/Playback:  

Our captured video was the same quality as the original. However, it does not let you set time limits on capture (record). But it does have a tool called SmartScan, which can be used to capture specific scenes and an “auto–stop” feature for unattended capturing.

Easy Media Creator outputs video in a variety of popular formats including WMV, MPEG (1, 2 & 4) and AVI. It also works with most disc formats and can change ratio aspects.
Ease of Use:  

Roxio has made this version a bit easier to use than previous versions; for example, their menu options are more clearly explained. Nevertheless, the program is still harder to use than higher-ranking video editing software.

Ease of Installation:  

In the past, we’ve had trouble installing Roxio; however, this time we didn’t have any problems with installation and setup.

Help/Support:  

Roxio provides embedded help, tutorials and a FAQs section. They also post updates on their website. For additional support, you can contact customer support by telephone and email or read their discussion boards.

Summary:  

Easy Media Creator is a complete media editing package, with this software you can easily edit your video, audio, and photos and output them in popular formats for easy web publishing, archiving and disc burning.
