Movie Creator

The Xperia™ Movie Creator automatically creates short videos of around 30 seconds

in length using existing photos and videos. The application automatically determines

the timeline to create its movie. For example, it could take a selection of photos and

videos from a Saturday afternoon outing or from a random seven-day period and

create a movie for you. When this highlight-style movie is ready, you get notified. You

can then edit it as desired. For example, you can edit the title, delete scenes, change

the music or add more photos and videos.
