Here Are Some Video Utility Softwares Which Maybe Useful To You Guys..
Avidemux -
Making simple crop edits to videos of all formats shouldn't be tricky business, but most tools out there either do way too much or are so belabored with ads that who knows what evil lurks within their code.
Open-source on the GNU license, Avidemux is a breath of fresh air. Cropping a video is as simple as selecting the section you want to remove and then hitting the Delete key. Re-encoding a video is equally painless: select the output format from the drop-down list, save the file, and you're good to go. When choosing where to start and stop a crop, there's both incremental and multisecond advance and rewind tools, There's also a not insubstantial list of video and audio codecs that files can be converted to. Video formats include multiple codecs for FLV, MPEG, AVI, VCD, H.263/4, and others, while audio formats include MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, and one or two more.
The program also includes advanced options, including generic decoder and post-processing tools, user-defined filters, GlyphSet adjustments, and more features. Avidemux should appeal to users of all abilities who are looking for a quick way to edit down video files.
NCH Software's VideoPad Video Editor Professional is a full-featured video-editing tool that is surprisingly easy to use. It can combine numerous clips and soundtracks in a wide range of video formats into movie projects, or build an entire production out of a single clip. It supports drag-and-drop editing, real-time effects previews, format conversion, importing and exporting files, captions, narration, and more. It can burn DVDs, HDs, and Blu-ray discs and output video to portable devices. It can also capture video from camcorders and other devices.
It's a rare video editor that you can just fire up and start making movies with, but that's what we did with VideoPad Pro. We browsed to a cartoon saved as an MPG file. VideoPad Pro scanned it and displayed it in the left half of the split main view, with its frames running sequentially along the bottom of a main preview window in a scrollable, time-marked view, and also displayed its information in the left-hand Media List panel. Pressing the Play button played the clip normally. Extracting clips from the main clip was incredibly simple; using the timeline, we selected an In Point and an Out Point and clicked the green down arrow. VideoPad extracted the clip and displayed it below in the Video Track section, which is just above the similar Audio Track. In this manner, we quickly cut up and rearranged the cartoon out of sequence, and then previewed it in the right-hand pane. The transitions between merged clips were seamless. We could save our finished clip or subject it to a wide range of processing and production tools. Toolbar icons let us quickly insert blank spaces or add narration, captions, and other effects. Clicking Build Movie called up a dialog that let us select the video format and whether to burn a disc, send it to a portable device, upload it to YouTube, and other choices.
With smartphones, video sharing sites, and Webcams everywhere, there's no lack of raw video resources, just a need for a powerful, easy-to-use tool like VideoPad Video Editor Professional to put your projects together, polish them up, and present them in the format of your choice. More than just fast and competent, though, we also found it fun to use.
The interactivity in Zuma Pro makes this visualization program a whole lot more fun than its competitors. You can control more than 60 animations in real time using hot keys and sliders, and even move around inside a scene, take snapshots, and record visuals as they unfold. Music lovers will find Zuma Pro an addictive toy.
RaceRender Video Processor is a program that can create and edit videos. For freeware, it has a great deal of functionality, despite its plainness.
The design of this program's interface is very basic, and its layout is fairly easy to navigate. The Help manual is extensive and covers pretty much any topic you need to know. A good Help manual is much appreciated since RaceRender is a complicated program, especially for users with little video editing experience. We were able to import a video file into the program with no trouble, and we discovered a few useful features, too. For example, the Snapshot feature takes a shot of a frame of video and saves it as a BMP file. RaceRender's description says that you can create videos with picture-in-picture overlays, split screens, camera switching, transparencies, and other effects, and also mix multiple concurrent video and audio sources. Without a thorough study of the user manual, we could only accomplish the basic task of importing video into the program. The editing features are extensive and really require some study of the instructions to fully grasp how to use RaceRender to create and edit videos.
This is a free application. Basic users and those new to video will have a big learning curve using it, but those with video-editing experience will probably be able to get up and running with RaceRender in no time.
This video-splitting program proves that single-minded focus can be a very good thing. First off, we should say that Easy Video Splitter only does the job in its title and nothing else. However, it makes up for this narrow scope by being extremely easy to use and offering a high degree of control over the chopping process. The interface is aesthetically pleasing and provides a large preview window on its left side. After you load an AVI, WMV, or MPEG video, you can choose the stop and end points of your segment by simply clicking two icons. We really appreciated the fact that Easy Video Splitter can cut multiple files from the same clip, a convenient feature not found in some competitors. You also can set the program to automatically split clips by size or time. Since the trial version lets you chop as many files as you want for a full week, we can give this app the green light for anyone who needs to dice up video.
Though it lacks the features of big-name programs such as Adobe Premiere, Video Magic is admirably simple and suitable for basic home use. Once you've captured media from a DV camera, a DVD camcorder, or another source, you just drop the video and audio files onto Video Magic's time-line-based interface to start editing. The program provides a healthy number of transitions and effects, such as fades, wipes, and even a picture-in-picture tool. It's a snap to slap together video files and add dissolves, narration, and background music. When you're done, Video Magic can output your movie to any of the major video formats, including AVI, MPEG, and WMV. The program now includes a tool for splitting clips into multiple segments, but we didn't find it all that easy to use. Also, the program lacks a dedicated trimming tool, making it difficult to fine-tune transitions. Overall, Video Magic is best suited for novices who want to get their feet wet before moving on to more full-featured packages.
As more and more portable devices integrate camcorder functionality, recording amateur video on the fly becomes a much less daunting task. However, editing that video can be another matter altogether. From very basic consumer apps to professional grade production suites, there's no shortage of software available to help you trim your footage and add an appropriate soundtrack.
Sony's Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0 falls somewhere in the middle in terms of consumer video-editing programs. It's probably too advanced for most newbies, but those with some level of experience toying with digital video will find that it offers a nicely laid-out interface and plenty of features.
The main window for this version of Vegas Movie Studio is divided into four sections that are all pretty straightforward in function. The top of the screen offers a preview pane, a trimming window, and a multitabbed media corner that contains the files you've imported. This section also lets you access additional content, including video transitions and effects. The bottom half of the screen is dominated by the editing bank, into which you can drag and drop various video and audio clips from the media corner. Projects offer six components initially: text, video overlay, video, voice, music, and sound effects. ("Voice" generally refers to the audio originally attached to the video in this case.)
Lining the very top of the window is a multitude of icons that can take you into the various features of the software. With one click, you can enable snapping, lock envelopes to events, and insert automatic crossfades. The sheer number of options can be overwhelming to first-time users; luckily, Sony includes a prominent "show me how" button that takes you directly to various handy tutorials for the program.
As for features, Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum is not lacking. Some that carried over from version 9.0 include the ability to edit and produce movies with special effects and transitions, create DVDs and Blu-ray Discs with custom menus and graphics, and share movies on portable devices. In version 10.0, Sony has simplified the new project experience, as well as added a built-in image stabilization tool, a slideshow creator, and support for an increased number of audio and video tracks in a single project.
Sony Vegas is capable of importing 26 audio, video, and image file formats, including QuickTime, MPEG-4, and AVI. It can save to 25 file types. In addition, it can edit and save in high-def, and there's an option to publish final movies directly to YouTube.
We tested the software on a system running Windows XP on 2.3GHz AMD Dual Core Processor with 3GB of RAM and were treated to a fairly smooth experience. (Sony recommends a 1GHz processor with at least 2GB of RAM for HD.) There were some hiccups; notably, transitions didn't play smoothly in preview and in a few instances, our final rendered videos were buggy during playback--one AVI output failed to attach the audio and one MOV suffered from jittery video. However, WMV and MPEG4 final output files played flawlessly, so we recommend saving to one of those formats instead. Videos take quite a bit of time to fully render, but that's just the nature of the beast--especially when it comes to high-def.
It's also worth noting that we did some side-by-side testing against iMovie running on a Macbook with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. This is a matter of personal preference, but we found the language in Sony Vegas to be generally more straightforward than that of iMovie, and adding audio clips was a more transparent process as well. However, iMovie makes easier work of exporting and offers more hand-holding in terms of creating seamless projects.
Here Are Some Useful Audio Softwares.. They Are 100% VIRUS-FREE & MALWARE FREE..
Foxy Tunes For Firefox-
If you love music but hate jumping from Firefox to music player and back whenever you want to adjust your tunes, FoxyTunes is the plug-in for you.
FoxyTunes gives you control of your favorite music player from within Firefox, so there's no more switching windows to skip that Barry Manilow ditty you forgot to delete. The interface is easy to use and is highly customizable. When opened, it shows a navigation array with buttons for Play, Pause, Mute, Next Track, Last Track, Volume, and the useful Show Player, which unhides your music player. There's also a Hide Player button, as well as a music Search tool, keyboard shortcuts, skins, and a mini player that places the app controls on your desktop.
Supported players include iTunes, Winamp, RealPlayer, XMPlay and Last.fm, as well as nearly two dozen others and a "custom player" option. The lyric and album art searches have been expanded with FoxyTunes' new music portal, which provides feeds from Google, YouTube, Amazon.com, Last.fm, Wikipedia, and several online radio stations to make music discovery easier.
FoxyTunes' strengths are in the depth of available features plus the level of customization. Weaknesses? Only that you'll wish all Firefox add-ons were this good.
This program cuts and joins MP3 and WAV audio files at a very high level. The installation is extremely fast, and in seconds MP3 Cutter and Joiner launches on your desktop. The main window has two tabs, one for splitting and one for joining. The splitting tab asks you to select a file and destination folder, as well as to configure the splitting by either time or space. The joining tab lets you drop files onto a list and unify those files into one you name in a folder you specify. Both operations take little time and the performance is outstanding. The split files have no skips at the beginning or end, and the unified file is pop-free. The interface might look primitive, but the program's output is advanced.
This audio application breaks no new ground, but it does win our praise for its ease of use. Cool MP3 Splitter s main job is simply to chop MP3 files into smaller segments, but you ll also find a tool for joining as many songs as you want. If you re merging tunes, you can specify the audio quality of your new file, but you can t alter the bit rate when slicing up MP3s. Splitting files is an intuitive process, as a step-by-step-wizard walks you through the process of adding a track, then choosing whether to split by selection, size, or time. If you pick the first option, Cool MP3 Splitter will play the song and let you click as many breakpoints as you like. However, users who prefer other audio codecs are out of luck, as this application only supports the format found in its title. If you just need a quick way to chop and join audio files, Cool MP3 Splitter gets the job done.
In spite of its all-business design and rather slim feature set, this utility for retrieving album cover art from the Web demostrates largely reliable performance. Cover Art Downloader's ho-hum interface is no more exciting than its name, with a large queue for loading up MP3s and another pane for selecting album art. Operating the program is simple: you just open a folder containing MP3s, select files, and press the Find Cover button. The application then will quickly generate a list of albums from the artist in question and let you scroll through them to find the right one. If you've never seen the album cover in person, you can resize the picture to get a better view. After you've found the right art, you can choose to resize it and automatically save it to the same location as your audio file. In our tests, Cover Art Downloader located art for the lion's share of the MP3s we threw its way, although it choked on a couple of obscure records in our collection. Still, we would like to see a few extra features, such as support for audio formats beyond MP3. An integrated player also would be a nice touch. Nevertheless, anyone who wants to add some visual flair to their digital music collections will find this application useful.
TuneWiki's Windows Media Player plug-in is part licensed lyrics spooler for your own songs and for streaming YouTube videos, and part social project. TuneWiki's interface reskins Windows Media Player's "Now Playing" window. As the music from your library plays, TuneWiki checks its online wiki database for song lyrics--which members mostly contribute, Wikipedia-style--and plays them in time with the music. If you search for YouTube videos through TuneWiki's plug-in, it will similarly serve lyrics, if available. The lyrics tools include support for language translations, the ability to manually scroll through lyrics rather than stream them, and a process by which you can easily manually reset the timing between a song's audio track and its associated lyrics.
In addition to TuneWiki's primary visual lyrics experience is a secondary social one. TuneWiki displays music maps on which other TuneWiki users are plotted. You'll be able to see who in close proximity is playing which song, or where in the world others are playing the same song as you. Clicking an individual's name can pull up the YouTube video of the song they're rocking so you can watch along, or can show the song's real-time influence on the globe.
While TuneWikie's lyrics database especially enriches the basic Windows Media Player experience, it harbors some flaws. Some tools aren't immediately intuitive, like the resyncing process, and the fact that only TuneWiki-approved editors can edit existing lyrics. A text notice on the editor-only area would wipe away potential confusion and frustration. Also, we'd like the size of the YouTube video to be adjustable. If the YouTube video stops, as it did once during testing, we want to refresh it without closing and reopening the app. When searching for songs, we'd like a more elegant display of the artist and album information returned in the results.
TuneWiki's plug-in is good enough to use now--the lyrics and music maps adding utility and interest--but will benefit from a few more development iterations.
WAV Joiner is used to combine two or more recorded WAV format sound files into one large WAV file. An unlimited number of files with a combined size of 2Gb may be joined and the original files can be deleted once they are joined if free disk space is limited. Silence can be inserted between files and mono/stereo, 8-bit/16-bit WAV files are supported.
This plug-in lets you view song lyrics when using Winamp, but it seems like a less-attractive option than many of its competitors. For starters, Winamp Lyrics only supports the jukebox found in its name, neglecting other popular choices. The application's lyrics pane can be accessed from Winamp's View menu, but strangely enough, if you turn it off, you'll have to restart the jukebox to find it again. Changing the plug-in's preferences also is a hassle, requiring you to dig through Winamp's menu items. Customization options aren't expansive, but you can change the font, color, and format of the displayed lyrics. As soon as you click a tune, Winamp Lyrics will retrieve the words from the Web and either save them as a TXT file or embed them in the MP3. In our tests, performance was decent, though the application failed to retrieve the words to many of the obscure tracks in our collection. Dedicated WinAmp users might find some benefit here, but hard-core music fiends have better options at their disposal.
Windows Media Player users may like this program's sound-enhancement effects, but we'd guess many of them will find the demo restriction pretty annoying. MaxxPlayer integrates tightly into Windows Media Player and can be accessed via the Tools menu item. The program's control panel appears under the visualization window, offering a few sliders and boxes that let you adjust the audio effects. However, the list of available audio enhancements is not huge; you'll find treble- and bass-boost options, a filter called MaxxStereo, and another called iVolume. The latter two options had the greatest effect on sound quality. MaxxStereo creates a wider stereo spectrum, while iVolume cranks up your music much louder. If you want to see how much difference the plug-in makes, you simply can click the Bypass button to turn it off. We initially were disappointed to find the trial period is a short seven days, but the aggressive nag screen, which pops up every time you click a new track or playlist, really stuck in our craw. In spite of that, dedicated Windows Media Player fans with discriminating ears should at least give this program a try.
This basic program for joining, splitting, and converting MP3s needs to support more formats to be a truly viable option. MP3 Maker has absolutely no installation; after clicking the EXE file, the main window appears. The interface is bland yet straightforward, consisting of three tabs for joining, splitting, and converting files. You can extract audio from AVI, MPEG, WAV, and MP3 files, but the program only joins and converts files to MP3. We were disappointed to discover the app can't output audio in other formats. When splitting files, you can specify the starting and ending points on the time line. You also can change bit and sample rates, edit ID tags, and encode files as VBR MP3s to save space. If you only need to work with MP3s, this app will be good enough, but many competing products support a wider range of audio and video codecs.
MP3 Splitter is an easy-to-use tool for splitting a large MP3 file into smaller ones. With the built-in MP3 player, you can prelisten to the MP3 file, set the start and end time, and split or cut any section of the MP3 file you want. It also splits equal parts, either by size or by time.
CoCSoft Stream Down downloads streaming media, supporting not only HTTP and FTP downloads, but also streaming-media downloads such as RTSP, MMS, MMSU, and MMST. It will capture streaming video or audio and save to your hard disk so you can play the media offline.
This program provides a few cool audio effects. The interface is better in this new release, but still far from intuitive (for instance, you need to check Slider checkbox to control the speed with the slider). Making the program window semitransparent wasn t a good idea especially since you can t turn off this feature. After playing around with Faslo for a while, we were able to make vocals sound like The Chipmunks or radically slow them down. If you achieve a really cool effect, you even can record it for later use. Since many more user-friendly audio-editing applications are readily available, we recommend that only intrepid folks with a lot of time on their hands download this one.
Automatically searches and displays lyrics to current song in Winamp, Windows Media Player, Foobar, iTunes, Real Player, MusicMatch or QCD, XMPlay, JetAudio, Meedio, Yahoo! Music Engine, and AlbumPlayer. Version 0.1.9 added native iTunes support, Jetaudio support, Yahoo! Music Machine Support, and fixed Foobar support.
Although we think this simple utility performs a useful job, a few stability and performance issues prevent us from being more enthusiastic. In short, MP3 Printer scans your PC for several types of digital music files, then catalogs your collection in an organized list. Upon launch, the program gives you the option to scan certain drives or folders, playlists, and your CD drive. Unfortunately, we could never get the app to work with the latter feature. When we used MP3 Printer to scan a large hard drive with music files scattered throughout, we were pleased with its speed and accuracy. However, whenever we attempted to multitask while the program was searching for tunes, it froze up and crashed. On the plus side, we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of control you have over the appearance of your list. For instance, you can customize what type of info appears, change the color scheme to your liking, reorder files according to certain parameters, and even create basic CD cases. Still, if you frequently add to your collection, you may need to register the utility, as the demo won't let you save a list and scrambles the letters if you attempt to print. Though it certainly isn't an ideal application, folks with large MP3 collections may be able to look past this app's flaws.
This ultrasimple application performs its main task without incident, although its less-than-desirable interface, basic functionality, and slim feature set means we can only get so excited. True to its promise, MP3 Splitter quickly dices up MP3 files, either via user-selected cut points or by a certain number of identically sized segments. Unfortunately, when using the user-definable split method, you can only select one beginning and one ending cut point at a time. The interface is merely a bland, gray box that can't be resized. Though it's generally easy to use, we initially couldn't figure out how to actually split tracks; perhaps a more obvious, better-designed icon would do the trick. Apart from its one job, MP3 Splitter doesn't really do anything else and lacks extra features of any sort. The one-week trial period also is a bit too short for our tastes. Still, folks seeking a no-nonsense tool for slicing up MP3s might at least take a look at this utility.
MP3Trim is a utility that allows you to trim MP3 music files. Useful on files that contain unwanted sounds at the beginning or end, MP3Trim works by trimming precisely at MPEG frame increments. It can automatically detect digital silence and recover wasted disk space occupied by silent frames. In addition, it recognizes ID3 tags and cleans up missing or incomplete frames and WAV headers (for WAV-embedded MP3s). This version features a better error message when the disk gets full, changes the default threshold for normalization to -3dB, which gives a little volume headroom for the tracks with wide dynamic ranges, and contains an added check for tracks that end abruptly.
Version 2.12 adds F10 key shortcut to open the option dialog window and colored text for abruptly ending files.
MP3 TrackMaker is an MP3 audio editing utility that is used to split up an MP3 into multiple files (tracks) or to join MP3s into one larger MP3 (mix). This utility is perfect for dividing up those long radio shows or mixes that you have. MP3 TrackMaker is great for those burned CDs: now you can avoid having one 70 minute track and instead create your own tracks. Joining MP3s into a single mix allows for easy transportation of your audio without the hassle of worrying about multiple files.
"New in version 1.5! Now adds support for individual artist and title properties for each track for use when outputting to files. With CUE files containing track information, it is easier than ever to split up your favorite MP3s.
MiniLyrics is an amazing lyrics plugin for iTunes, Winamp, and Windows Media Player. It will download and display lyrics automatically, you can catch every word. MiniLyrics can save lyrics in mp3 files, you can view lyrics on iPod touch or iPhone.
