muvee Technologies' autoProducer to be Included on HP Notebook PCs for Delivery of Fast, Easy and Fun Video Editing for All

HP's new line of Pavilion notebooks will include muvee autoProducer, the world's first automatic video production software for the PC

Singapore –– August 11, 2003 – muveeTechnologies, the creator of automatic video editing technology, announced today that Hewlett-Packard (HP) has selected its *award-winning muvee autoProducer DVD SE video editing software to be bundled with the new HP Pavilion Widescreen Notebook PC zd7000, which will be launched on August 22.

Pete Kellock, founder and CEO of muvee Technologies, said, “We are delighted that HP has chosen our software to complement their latest multimedia notebooks. Together, we want to encourage more people to get creative and have fun with their home videos, by showing them that there is a quick and simple editing solution. With muvee autoProducer, anyone can turn ordinary camcorder footage into a cool music video in a snap and without all the hard work.”

muvee autoProducer’s patent-pending technology dramatically simplifies the video editing process by automating it, thereby eliminating the tedium and learning curve normally associated with other non-linear editing (NLE) software. Users simply add in their video, choose some music, and select an editing style from the program’s built-in list. The software then analyzes these elements, picks out key scenes and discards low quality video, before automatically editing the raw footage, complete with effects and transitions timed to the length, rhythm and mood of the chosen music. In minutes, a professional-looking edited video, or muvee, is ready to be saved and shared with family and friends.

muvee autoProducer supports a variety of input and output file formats including DV, AVI, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. Finished muvees can also be saved as WMV files for sharing via e-mail or the Web, or as high quality SVCD- or DVD-ready files.

“muvee autoProducer is a truly remarkable tool that is reinventing the consumer video editing experience in a very big way,” said Chris Larsen, Product Manager for HP’s Mobile Products Division. “This whole new approach to video production is very exciting and we are pleased to have muvee Technologies as our partner.”
