Serif today launched a free video editing application called MoviePlus Starter Edition. With this program, you have two options to edit a film: you can use the simple Storyboard to create a movie quickly and easily, or explore the flexible Timeline which allows up to three video and three audio tracks at once. Users can create smart and fun fades, wipes and other transitions from one scene to the next for a stylish finish. Enthusiasts wanting to achieve the Hollywood look can easily add titles, captions and credits, sound effects and music as well as cool video effects like picture in picture. It’s also simple to add a bit of animation for scrolling credits or exploding titles. There is plenty of on-screen help too, thanks to Serif’s ‘How To’ tab which offers step-by-step illustrated topics. Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition can be downloaded free of charge from the website below.
