Cinax Designs Inc. proudly announces the release of the iFilmEdit Suite -a fully integrated digital video product suite designed for PC OEMs. The suite encompasses several key software: MPEG encoding, MPEG editing, MPEG Organizer and Low Bitrate Output for Internet.

iFilmEdit is a simple, easy to use MPEG video editor meant to be used with PC OEM platforms. It provides enhanced compressed MPEG capture and edit functionality to the end user, allowing them to perform all basic functions of compressed digital video editing. The encode platform may be tailored to the OEM video system specifications.

IFilmEdit v1.5 now allows you to export your video projects in low bitrate format. This format will allow you to make your video files as small as possible for Internet and email distribution.

MPEG Organizer is simple media management software that allows users to keep track of their video content.

IFilmEdit v1.5 now allows you to freeze frames and to export them to a bitmap. The bitmap may thereafter be manipulated with any popular bitmap manipulation software.

100% ActiveX Compatible:

The editor graphical interface and engine are ActiveX Controls.

DirectShow Optimized:

IFilmEdit takes full advantage of DirectShow filter architecture to increase performance, portability and openness.

Edge Clipping:

Edge clipping provides a utility for cropping the video field, eliminating any undesired artifacts in the preparation and closing stages of the movie capture. Since the editing is done on previously encoded fields, the granularity of the cut operation is limited to editable frame boundaries.

Multi-clip Concatenation:

Multi-clip concatenation enables a user to edit multiple clips independently and merge the resulting clip together seamlessly. The resulting clip can then be used as a master clip upon which any number of additional clips can be merged using the same process. In this manner, multiple clips can be merged together through repetitive iterations of the basic two-clip concatenation process.

Open: Opens the MPEG files and creates thumbnails.

Customize: Select the exact frame to be displayed as thumbnail.

Navigation: Play, pause, forward, rewind, go to start, go to end buttons.

Mark In: Marks the current editable frame as the beginning of the clip. Also adjusts the corresponding "in" pointer position of the clip window on the scroll bar.

Mark Out: Marks the current editable frame as the end of the clip. Adjusts the corresponding "out" pointer position of the clip window on the scroll bar.

Preview: Plays the current edited clips within the active clip window from "start selection" position to "end selection" position.

Record: Executes editing operation (crop or concatenation).

Make Movie: Saves edited MPEG file and creates thumbnail.

Plug-In: iFilmEdit open architecture allows for different plug-ins (VideoCD) that will extend the functionality of the editor.
