My mother used Muvee to edit a two hour static shot from a her crappy camera place in the church balcony what must have been a half mile away at my wedding. I guess she told Muvee to make a ten minute video out of it. What I got was five seconds of real time video - dissolve - five more seconds - dissolve. It was hilarious. Just enough time to spark a little nostalgia then instantly throw you into a rage cursing this useless technology. To her credit she made two versions. I guess thinking I the second one would include omitted sections in the first. Brilliant mom.
She also made a music video Muvee that wasn't so bad. I think it's useful if you are a horrible videographer. Meaning no one can tell what's important when watching your footage. It makes something out of nothing and nothing out of something. I thought it would be interesting to shoot a bunch of shakey abstract footage, extreme closeups and throw that into Muvee, sit back and wait for the computer to melt.
