Whitech Licenses muvee’s Automatic Video Production Technology to Enable Photo-Movie
Creation on Photo Teller™ Kiosks
Singapore and New York – May 17, 2006 – muvee, the pioneer and leader in Instant
Personal Video, has licensed its muveeKiosk software development kit (SDK) to
Whitech Software Solutions for integration with the latter’s photo kiosks. From
July this year, users of Whitech’s self-service Photo.Teller™ kiosks will be able
to easily create emotionally engaging music videos out of their favorite pictures
in just a few steps, and burn the finished product to DVD ready for playback.
Based on the user’s chosen production style, muveeKiosk technology automatically
adds in music as well as style effects, graphics and transitions paced to the
tempo to create the finished production, called Photo Movies.
"Instead of just printing the odd picture, Photo.Teller™ kiosk users will now
have the exciting new option of turning their photos into professional-quality
productions that look like home movies and can be played back on DVD and viewed
on the big screen. Unlike slideshows, Photo Movies really bring out the emotion
in your photos because of the way the software cuts everything to the beat of
the music. And the best part is, it’s really easy to use,” said Elvin Low, muvee’s
Director of Business Development for North America.
Whitech’s Photo Movie feature gives users a choice of 10 unique production styles,
including ‘Action’, ‘Sepia Flicker’ and ‘MotionPix’. Each style also has its
own music track. Users can opt for the express option, in which the software
automatically selects pictures to make the Photo Movie, or they can manually select
between 50 – 100 pictures of their choice, and the finished production will be
burned onto a DVD, ready for playback. There are also plans to support DSC video
input in the Photo.Teller™ kiosks in the near future.
