Video Editing

Video EditingOnce cameras were a novelty on phones, now video is the next big thing. Video editing makes a great addition to these handsets and helps drive the use of video services like MMS and video blogging. After all, sharing home-made clips is more fun when they combine images, videos and audio in a professional format with intro texts, overlays, transitions and background music. Especially when editing is as simple as a single click!

NXP Software’s Video editing solutions include four products that allow either manual or ‘one click’ editing: LifeVibes™ MediaConverter, VideoStudio, VideoArtist Lite and VideoArtist. Each is available as an easy-to-use software development kit, provided as a toolbox to give maximum flexibility in UI creation.

VideoStudio
VideoStudio offers full ‘manual’ time-line based editing capabilities, so users can hand-craft their clip just the way they want. Good for creative users and dedicated video bloggers, the software has been proven in over 100 million phones.

MediaConverter
Adding to the convenience, our MediaConverter provides an easy way to trim files to fit specific size or standard requirements. This no-frills product performs trimming and transcoding, for instance, to transform a captured video into an MMS.

VideoArtist Lite
VideoArtist Lite provides the simplest way to achieve professional results, making it a strong mass market solution. The product is a ‘one click’ editor based on selectable themes. These themes are pre-defined scenarios, which can be applied to the original video, transforming it into an appealing clip with audio to match. For example, users can choose a sporty theme with fast scene changes and slick transitions accompanied by energetic audio. 

VideoArtist Lite does not put a heavy load on the processor, so it is suitable for a wide range of platforms including mid-end processors below 200 MHz. Also, when users have created their clips, it is easy to send them as an MMS or to upload them to a video sharing site like YouTube.

VideoArtist
VideoArtist takes ‘one click’ editing a step further by introducing advanced content analysis techniques such as key scene detection. This produces even higher quality, professional style results, while still keeping user interaction to a minimum. 

With VideoArtist users also select a theme to apply to their original video (romantic or sporty, for example). But the software then combines this with an analysis of the content to create a unique script on the fly. This script contains key sections of the original video and theme-specific effects such as timing of sequences, transitions, overlays, and audio. 
Delivering sophisticated results, VideoArtist offers the most advanced video editing technology for high-end mobile platforms.
