EN 27 ImageMixer with VCD (Windows® and Macintosh) In addition to capturing still images and creating albums, ImageMixer is used for a variety of other functions, including color and brightness adjustment, and capturing video through a USB cable or a DV cable.

Editing your own original movies ImageMixer allows you to capture video from a camcorder, rearrange scenes, add special effects when changing scenes, insert still images, and otherwise freely edit your own movies. ImageMixer also allows you to add audio and background music. The edited movie is stored in MPEG1 format, which provides a comparatively smaller file size. This makes it more convenient to distribute it to your friends, for example, expanding the range of possibilities for which you can use your camcorder. Capturing video from tape Connect the camcorder to the PC with a USB cable. ImageMixer can then convert the video on tape to MPEG1 format and store it in the PC.

Because the recording can be made while playing the video back at the same time, it is easy to add audio that is in sync with previously recorded video. ImageMixer can also add music from a CD as background music for your movie. Editing still images ImageMixer can adjust the brightness and contrast of still images and extract only the necessary portions. ImageMixer also has a variety of functions for correcting eye color tones that are too red. In addition, ImageMixer allows you to freely lay out still images, pictures, text, and other elements to create your own postcards, CD-R labels, etc. IMAGEMIXER (cont. ) Managing files on hard disk EN 29 ImageMixer can manage elements that can be used in movie editing (video, still images, audio) as albums.
