I also like Creator's title function, which lets you design directly over the video add drop shadows, glows, and 3D and lighting effects and insert rectangles or ovals behind titles to increase legibility.
Afterward, you can customize the show even further in VideoWave 9. You can add text to any image, and add transitions and multipoint pan-and-zoom style to any slide or the entire show. You can create them in a SlideShow Assistant, which presents a white table where you arrange, rotate, and crop images perform red-eye reduction and adjust brightness, contrast, and color saturation. Better yet, VideoWave successfully loaded files captured on a Media Center PC (DVR-MS format), and Roxio claims TiVo compatibility for MyDVD, though I didn't test this function.Ĭreator does a fine job with slide shows. You'll find some cool special effects, such as a binocular view overlay and sepia and film effects. Creator's VideoWave 9 video capture and DVD production tool has some feature gaps-weak color-correction, backlight-compensation, and chromakey capabilities, for example-but it should meet the needs of most novice moviemakers.
