VideoSpin is intended for all video makers who do not want to spend much time producing films. The software can be downloaded easily from http://www.videospin.com/de/. Since the beta version launched in autumn 2007, almost 60,000 users have already used VideoSpin and have been impressed by how quickly videos can be created, posted to the internet or sent by e-mail to friends or family.
VideoSpin closes the video-editing gap
VideoSpin addresses people looking for a solution that lets them edit videos easily and enjoyably while adding something special to their films with Hollywood-quality video effects. Together with the award-winning and very easy-to-use Pinnacle Studio video-editing software, Pinnacle Systems is closing a major gap in video editing. Video enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels can benefit from editing with VideoSpin – not only fans of shared online-video websites but also the millions of people accumulating videos and photos on their PCs. Pinnacle Systems offers VideoSpin as a complete, fully functional package entirely free of charge.
Edit videos easily and show them to everyone – step by step
With VideoSpin, users can create entertaining videos in minutes by simply dragging and dropping their videos, pictures and music from the hard drive onto the timeline and, if desired, adding transitions or titles. The convenient preview function lets films be checked or stopped after every change before pressing the “Make Movie” button. Video can be output in common AVI, MPEG, RealVideo or Windows Media formats for viewing or sharing on a PC or portable media device. Videos can also be attached to e-mails or uploaded directly to popular websites such as YouTube or Yahoo! Video.
Descriptions of the individual VideoSpin components and a full interactive introduction to the software’s possible uses are available at http://www.videospin.com/de/. Users and interested parties can view every step of the introduction closely and access expert tips through “tip!”.
“When developing VideoSpin, we focused on making video editing fun for consumers at every experience level by making it faster and easier than any other product on the market,” explained Tanguy Leborgne, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing at Pinnacle Systems. “Users of the beta version tell us that our introductory programme is invaluable because it leads them through every step of making films and makes use of the VideoSpin album, timeline and preview function easy to understand. Many of them have already put their videos on the internet using the beta version.”
Users who want still more options simply click the “Get More” button. This opens a special browser window with a catalogue page for available upgrades, including codecs, transitions and Pinnacle Studio software. VideoSpin users who work with Pinnacle Studio can use a wide range of advanced features through the same familiar interface. Because VideoSpin is based on Pinnacle Studio, users can open projects saved in VideoSpin and continue editing them with the more powerful tools offered by Pinnacle Studio.
