Enter the age of Personal Video


Introduction

SimpleMovieX is a simple and elegant Mac application that extends movie editing capabilities of QuickTime technology.


What SimpleMovieX can do for you...


Brend: "I record TV programs and then I remove all the commercials. It's fast, it's clean."

Alvaro: "After the week-end, my mobile phone is full of 3gp shorts, I pass them to my MacBook and convert them all in one shot. On Monday I share with my friends."

Adrian: "I have tons of DVDs with music concerts, and I want to split them into songs, then put them in iTunes."

Fabrice: "My digital camera can also record short movies, but the sound is not well syncronized"

Mel: "I'm compiling all those Stephen Colbert videos that I've found in Google Video into a 90 minutes program."

Richard: "Legal depositions are recorded in MPEG format. I use SimpleMovieX to prepare them for court."

A shortcut for those who already know QuickTime Pro

SimpleMovieX is inspired by Apple's QuickTime Pro, the "swiss knife" editor. So if you're already familiar with QTPro, you'll have really little to learn. See Beyond QuickTime Pro.


Tutorial movies available!
