  Pros

  launch and load. 3 simple steps produce a movie you'll love and your friends, clients and family.

  Cons

  would love to see additional styles offered with more transitional effects or effects within images.

  Summary

  Step 1: Load images. Simple enough. I loaded images from two recent trips as Host and Emcee in Las Vegas and New York. 85 images total loaded in seconds. Step 2: Choose a style for your presentation. Several to choose-from laid back to uptempo. I chose Pump it Up style because after all it's Vegas and the Big Apple! (With muvee Reveal X you don't tinker with a toolbox of effects, transitions, color filters and timelines! The software does it all for you!) You can preview each picture and further enhance the color, direction of panning (magic spot: go in, go out, side to side, slow or fast) set length of time on each picture (up to 10 seconds), add captions, fonts and more if desired. Each Style for muvee Reveal X has also been refreshed and transformed from the last release by adding text animation, and even some with additional video and graphics content. Select Styles even feature actual video scenes taken by fans of muvee Reveal and the muvee Reveal CEO! Look out for some cool 3D particle sequence loops to give that extra boost to some of the recent Styles. Step 3: Add Music! muvee Reveal X now contains licensed Music! Now you don't have to worry about uploading copyrighted music to the internet. (I uploaded a video to YouTube and it was removed because of copyright infringement.) muvee Reveal X has included licensed music to match each style! (and it's good too!) muvee Reveal X will sync to the music beats if desired, (You can adjust matching and different effects for each style selected) and display images to length of music added which makes it simple to have your last picture fade to black on the last note of the song. Further enhancements to color and saturation may also be made. Plus, you can adjust the audio level of any loaded video in case your camera mic didn't capture their voice loud enough. My finished muvee looks like I paid hundreds of dollars to a professional editor. Another way to use muvee Reveal X: All the pictures and video you'll be taking during the holidays...Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah.... muvee Reveal X let's you create lasting memories that people will WANT to watch. Make your own gifts for friends. You can upload to facebook, youtube or any online website. Or, burn your Muvee to dvd. I was having so much muvee fun I decided to make another muvee for neighbors. I took photos and videos of their kids playing at my home. I then loaded all the pictures in muvee Reveal X and selected "Kinetic" style which flips images, cuts them, disolves, moves side to side, twists, mirrors and more. This style also added flashes of subtle light to highlight portions of the pictures. It was perfect! I then added one of the kids favorite songs and inserted captions and titles. Everyone was in tears! They said it was the best gift they have ever received. "This is something we couldn't buy Tom!" The finished muvee was so entertaining we watched it five times! Plus, Muvee Reveal X allows you to upload and share with muvee Cloud - a private, secure online photo and video sharing site. The new muvee Reveal X &#38;#8212; in my opinion- is currently THE best 3-click, Windows-based HD video production software PERIOD!

(Magic Spot allows you to change or override the automatic movement of panning into or across the image.) In my opinion, for someone like me who prefers to customize my own movements, having the play button to preview the movement is a MUST HAVE. I now prefer the Muvee Reveal version 8 over the Reveal X as reviewed here. Overall, however, the software is wonderful and everything else noted above is still applicable.

I would rate this current version 4 stars, not 5.
