Hot on the heels of the announcement earlier this month of the Snazzi Digital Video Creator, Alien Technologies, a leading distributor of new media tools including digital video, Mpeg encoding and decoding, video on demand, video streaming and kiosk/point of sale applications, today announced the launch of yet another innovative Snazzi product - the Digital Video Editor for Notebook Computers, which provides the easiest and most convenient way to capture, edit and share DV videos anytime, anyplace.
"We have E-Business, E-Commerce and according to the pundits, Mobile Commerce is the next big thing. Developed especially for today`s mobile society, Snazzi`s DV-Editor for Notebook Computers meets many of the requirements that drive M-Commerce; convenience, localisation and personalisation," says Voula Philippides, Managing Director of Alien Technologies. "This product has the IEEE 1394/FireWire/iLink Cardbus PC Card, which enables users to capture video from a DV camcorder directly to a notebook computer by connecting one simple cable. It is extremely cost-effective, and the perfect editing solution for business and home users who want to capture, edit and share digital video in a portable environment."
The DV-Editor for Notebook Computers software editing suite allows users to trim unwanted footage, add titles, scrolling credits, special effects and music, and get a fast preview of their video production. Video can be captured in native DV and converted to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 formats to preserve high video quality and greatly reduce file size. Users can publish video to a CD-R, stream video to a company Website, send high quality video e-mail to colleagues and customers, and add video to PowerPoint presentations to effectively demonstrate products or services.
Adds Philippides, "all around the world the demand for digital video products is exploding. According to Dataquest, consumers bought 350,000 digital video camcorders last year, and these numbers are expected to jump to 12,6 million units in just three years. Snazzi`s family of award-winning products positions it as a leader in the digital video editing industry."
