Tasks related to capturing media files (Capture Environment)
ImageMixer allows you to select which existing media you want to work with and
import files from a memory card, such as one which is inserted in a digital camera
connected to your computer. You can also record sound from audio CDs or by
using a microphone. Capturing still shots or entire scenes from a digital movie
camera is also easy with ImageMixer. You can then use the main screen to confirm
these operations by double clicking the appropriate thumbnail and easily add
media files to existing albums.
Tasks related to albums (Album Environment)
Albums help you organize media files to be used with ImageMixer. Available tasks
include viewing still images and movies, running slide shows, displaying
information related to individual files, performing file searches, and sorting files
according to specific criteria. Using albums also means that you only need manage
those files that serve the purposes you define.
Tasks related to editing movie files (Movie Editing Environment)
ImageMixer is a powerful application when it comes to editing movie files. To
create professional quality movies, you can cut scenes, superimpose sound, add
transition effects, and make custom tiles appear in specific places in the media
stream. Also, since ImageMixer saves movie files in MPEG1 format, there is no
degradation of image quality, since unedited portions do not need to be rewritten
to disk.
Tasks related to graphic layouts (Layout Environment)
Creating customized labels for video cassettes, floppy disks, and other items is a
snap with ImageMixer, as is designing other two-dimensional images. You can also
choose from a wide variety of designing tools, such as those related to colors, text
manipulation, shapes and textures.
Tasks related to editing still pictures (Image Editor)
Unlike conventional photographs, digital images can be altered in a variety of ways
with ImageMixer, including applying masks to certain sections of an image, adding
filters, changing background composition, etc.
