HYPERENGINE-AV is a full scale video, audio and text editor for Macintosh OS X computers

HyperEngine-AV's free-form document window, lets you quickly and easily combine video, photo, audio and text media for the creation of full dv quality slide shows, familly movies, corporate presentations or your own feature films.

HyperEngine-AV has a very smooth learning curve and a better efficiency leaving extra headroom for creativity.

The Overview window offers multiple features such as direct import and move of clips, instant zoom to any parts of the project that the user has recorded and a wide range of independent x and y zoom sizes.

Since all clips generate their own magnetic grid, it is very easy to accurately splice, trim, split, time stretch (resulting in high quality speed motion change for video and tempo change for audio) and synchronize all media elements in just single mouse strokes.

Numerous other features contribute to making HyperEngine-AV a powerful video editing software but a very fun one to use too! Chain, stack, merge, align, nudge, group are just a few of the numerous basic commands that not only are easy to apply but also make the authoring process as rigorous and accurate as it needs to be.

HyperEngine-AV was thought out and designed without any pre-conception to the analog methods of video and audio editing because they are irrelevant in a virtual computer world.
Other than the basic operating system knowledge, there is no pre-requisite to get started with HyperEngine-AV. Interface complexity comes downstream of the user's need not upstream!

HyperEngine-AV and Video

Image clips can be imported or captured from a FireWire DV camera using remote machine control, then easily organized along the timeline to make movies.

Dragging video or still clips on top of each other creates instant real-time dissolves - clicking on the resulting connection graphic brings up a selection of fully editable real-time video compositing and transition tools such as dissolve, wipes, zoom...
The software gives you access to the whole range of QuickTime video effects (See Features for details), including edge detection, emboss, film noise, and color tint are available and can be applied to any video clip; a real-time video effects preview box takes the guesswork out of adjusting effect parameters. Supported formats are dv, mov, mpeg-4, jpg, tiff, gif and more by means of the program's built-in QuickTime format translator.
Supported formats are DV, mov, mpeg-4, jpg, tiff, gif and more by means of the program's built-in QuickTime format translator.
Third party QuickTime effects are available and can be easily added such as the ones from Buena Software and http://www.mazy.be/soft/.

HyperEngine-AV and Audio

With Arboretum's prestigious history as a music software manufacturer, HyperEngine-AV's audio capabilities are second to none. Audio clips can be edited and processed to generate stunning soundtracks.

The program comes with a wide variety of free studio-quality real-time audio effects from Arboretum's acclaimed Hyperprism suite ofprocessors (See Features for details), including an excellent Reverb.
More can be added via a flexible plug-in architecture - including the popular Ray Gun and Ray Gun Pro audio restoration software for cleaning up scratchy vinyl, tape hiss, hum, and other problem recordings.

HyperEngine-AV also comes with over 70 royalty-free audio clips from celebrated sound designer Frank Serafine (Star Trek, TRON, Poltergeist, Hunt for Red October, Virtuosity). HyperEngine-AV is an ideal video editing software to also enhance your final movies with cutting-edge audio.

HyperEngine-AV and Text

Take advantage of powerful text features to import or create and display credits, section titles, subtitles or karaoke lyrics.

Text boxes can be placed over video clips or keyed against an editable background with adjustable duration for scrolling.

Set font, size, type, color, style, alignment, scroll direction and auto clip duration. Place text against transparent background or user-defined background color.

The design of HyperEngine-AV was influenced by our on-going commitment to make user-interfaces as simple as can be, obviously without sacrificing to efficiency or performance. We also based our reflexion on two simple facts:

Associating audio and text to video is in many ways essential to the final expressive and aesthetical qualities of a movie. We wanted to reconcile the image and the sound because one can hardly be much without the other. This is why we gave them equal ground, by letting users freely associate them in the same document window.

The notion of tracks, heritage of the old days, is mostly irrelevant in a computer world:
We based our design on the virtual approach, where track constraints have no reason to be. And as an added bonus to this design, no tracks also means no track limits, and no limits to the number of elements you can stack!

Video DVD Maker Free is a quick and remarkably easy tool for mastering DVD disks from your own home-made videos right out of the box. Plus, Video DVD Maker allows you to deploy your video project on different types of disks, including CD R/RW, DVD R/RW and DVD R DL.

The program enables you to capture video from a TV tuner, a web camera, a DV camcorder, or any other video device. You can save the captured data as an uncompressed AVI file, or use one of the compression methods to save it in the format you want. In addition to the video devices, you can import video from video files in different formats, including AVI, DIVX, XVID, MP4, MPG, WMV, ASF, to name a few. To gain this ability, you must first install the appropriate codec, which you can download, for example, from http://www.free-code...Codec_Packs.htm.

Video rendering is accurate and blazingly fast. As soon as the project is ready, you can burn its DVD image onto a CD or DVD disk. The DVD production is configurable with such options as specifying the project name, PAL or NTSC system, video or audio compression.

Video DVD Maker is perfect for those people who don't want to spend too much time on learning a complex video editing platform, or want to save money by not purchasing value-added features that they will never use. Simplicity of use comes with the user interface, which has been designed as a three-step wizard for creating a DVD with just a few clicks. Now anyone, regardless of their creative ability, can master and deploy a professional output. At any point of video authoring, you can refer to the Help file with one press of the F1 button. However, the software is so straightforward that you can get started without any technical documentation.

Getting started with Video DVD Maker is easy:

Step 1: Capture. Jumpstart your DVD authoring with the Capture panel. Here you can capture video and audio from the video device. Video, which is being captured, can be previewed in the preview window. The compression method of the output file can be chosen on the Setup page.

Step 2: Render Timeline. Here you can add extra video files to your project and then render the time line. The process can be viewed in the preview window. Thanks to the optimized rendering algorithm the project can be processed blazingly fast.

Step 3: Burn. And finally, you can deploy your DVD project onto a CD or a DVD in minutes through the built-in burning facility. In this panel you can specify the name of the input, select the drive and erase the disk, if it has already been recorded. Added to this is the ability to record VIDEO_TS files, which have been created in other programs.
