About muvee Technologies

Founded in 2001, muvee Technologies is a privately held company headquartered in Singapore. The company’s flagship product, muvee autoProducer, is the world’s first smart automatic video production software for the PC. Underlying the program’s simple six-button interface is patent-pending technology that dramatically simplifies the video creation process, enabling anyone to automatically and easily create high quality finished productions from raw video hundreds – even thousands – of times faster than any other approach.

In addition to printing back to DV tape and saving in AVI or Video CD MPEG-1 formats, muvee autoProducer DVD Edition lets users save their finished productions as DVD-ready MPEG-2 files, which they can either play back on their PCs, or drag and drop into any external DVD-authoring program to be authored onto DVD-R/RW media. muvee autoProducer DVD Edition also supports SVCD-ready MPEG-2 formats so that users have the added flexibility of writing their MPEG-2 content – without any loss of quality – onto low-cost CD-R/RW media that can also be played back on most consumer DVD players.

muvee autoProducer, which has been awarded “Designed for Windows XP” certification from Microsoft®, is currently sold in retail outlets in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and Japan through the company’s publishing partners, including WSKA, Finson, Convergent Systems and SourceNext. To date, muvee autoProducer has also sold into more than 50 countries worldwide directly from the company’s website at w3.muvee.com.

muvee Technologies currently has three pending patents for its pioneering innovations in smart automatic video production. The company has showcased its groundbreaking technology internationally at leading industry events such as COMDEX in the US, CeBIT in Germany and Japan’s WPC Expo.
