Selecting video scenes with Magic Moments

You can mark specific scenes in your video footage to include or leave out of your final movie with the magicMoments feature in muvee autoProducer.

Video footage left unmarked is still analyzed when you make the movie and may be included in the final version of the movie.

Using the magicMoment controls

The magicMoments window uses the following controls:

•The green thumbs-up button is for marking scenes that must be included in the movie.

•The red thumbs-down button is for marking scenes that must be left out of the movie.

•The gray thumb button is for undoing scenes that were marked with the thumbs- up or thumbs-down buttons.

•The arrow buttons are for navigating backward and forward through the video footage.

Using magicMoments to select video scenes

For best results with the production of your movie:

•Keep the total duration of magicMoments to less than 50 percent of the duration of your movie. It is best to select only a few scenes.

•Make sure magicMoments do not cross scenes. This could result in poor scene transition appearance.

•Keep each magicMoment to less than 10 seconds.
