CeBIT Hannover, Germany –– March 18, 2004 – muvee Technologies, the pioneer in automaticvideo production, announces the Europe preview of its new muvee autoProducer Media Center Edition at CeBIT 2004. muvee autoProducer Media Center Edition is the first and only consumer video editing application that sits within Microsoft’s® Windows® XP Media Center platform, and allows users to quickly and easily create compelling video productions on a TV screen using only a remote control.

“The home computing environment is in the midst of an amazing evolution. PCs and digital media are rapidly converging with TVs, cameras, DVD players and other consumer electronics devices,” said Dr. Pete Kellock, Founder and CEO of muvee Technologies. “muvee autoProducer Media Center Edition is a breakthrough that integrates multimedia production on a PC, and home entertainment on the TV screen. Imagine being able to create great-looking video productions, and watching them right away on your TV – all from the comfort of your couch using the familiar buttons of a remote control. This is yet another first that our Media Center Edition brings to consumers, and we’re really excited about introducing this to the world. Video production has never been so easy, so quick and so much fun.”

Developed using muvee’s patented technology, muvee autoProducer Media Center Edition retains all the core functions of the award-winning muvee autoProducer PC application, but these are now presented in a radically new Windows Media Center-styled interface. Designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, consumers can make all their multimedia and production selections in just a few simple steps using the Media Center’s remote control. They can browse for and select videos, pictures, music and an editing style to use in a muvee production. In minutes, muvee autoProducer analyzes the video footage to intelligently pick out key scenes, before automatically cutting these footage highlights to the length and rhythm of the chosen music, with effects and transitions synchronized to the beat. muvee autoProducer Media Center Edition currently supports WMV and MPEG-2 output formats.
