Any particular reason you need that exact same piece of software instead of using a modern video editing system to achieve the same effect?
Because it looked great considering the time when it was used;
And I thought it might work OK on my (PC) hardware.
But yes you are right - it was the combination of the specific hardware + software running on it.
I'd expect you are trying to get this effect with modern digital video formats.
Well.. Only 3gp (phone recorded) video with rather low resolution of about 320x240 pixels and about 12fps...
Movie Maker works great - on my hardware.. Only.. it takes about 4 to 8 hours FOR ME (not for the computer) to edit all the clips using only Movie Maker in a "way I want them to be edited" (and is limited - Movie Maker -with the amount of, example - transition effects), and the total output of my (edited) file is less than 3 minutes!
Example: What I want to do (using Movie Maker)
- Import a clip from a YouTube,
- Add an short intro (using a still image at the beginning, with pan/expand and fade in from black),
- Mute the sound of the imported clip for the entire duration of the video,
- Cut the clip at certain places (many places to be precise),
- At the cutted places insert still photos or another short videos (these ones from my phone) with the transition effects and so on,
- import the separate (stand alone) sound track from the first imported clip (the one from youtube) at the beginning of the project (this way I can have continuos sound from the clip as the transitions and everything occur),
- Synchronize everything with this seperated sound track (now that is a real pain to do in Movie Maker!)
- Add tekst to movie at each speach part
- Export it as a movie file.
1.8Ghz CPU running Movie maker is very responsive in this job.
But it is just much to do with only a MovieMaker..
I thought it might be easier with something like that softvare...
