ArcSoft Video Impression 2

This drag-and-drop application allows you to create home movies and slideshows. You can combine still images, video clips, audio tracks, text and special effects to form a VCD to play on your DVD player. The step-by-step creation process allows you to capture and save video to and from DV camcorders. You can then choose from a selection of built-in photos, videos and animations for inclusion in your project. You can also apply themed sets of effects and transitions that fall into a specific motif. For example, you can add a sepia tone and give your movies an old, worn feel. Introductions and end credits can also be integrated.
