It's the new millennium, and people are thinking and communicating in motion and sound.  Whether it's footage of your kids playing in the wading pool, your rec league hockey game, or your garage band's music video, you want to let everyone see and hear it the way you did: in motion.

With Auto Movie Creator makes creating video just that: creative.  You don't need to know the technical details or be an expert on electronics, audio, or computers to make a breathtaking movie.  The program handles the technical parts—you supply the vision.

You'll never have to stop and try to figure out what's next. Auto Movie Creator turns making a movie into a simple, step-by-step process. The built-in Assistant Director will be with you all the way, advising you on technical issues and offering suggestions.  If you don't want his help, you can tell him to go away—you're the Director, after all.

We've worked hard to eliminate all the frustrating and boring parts of the video-making process.  Automated scene detection can save you hours by automatically dividing video footage into clips.  There is no more need for you to spend hours squinting at the screen, carefully clipping the movie whenever the shot changes.  It's all reduced to a mouse click or two.

Registered owners of Video Edit Magic Express can upgrade to Auto Movie Creator at a discounted price.  Please contact us for pricing details.

Auto FTP Manager 4.0: Even More Power

Auto FTP Manager was already a feature-packed industry leader in the field of file transfer.  Then we made it even better.

The new 4.0 release adds queuing to the File Manager.  The new queuing capability lets you select individual files and folders from anywhere on the server (or your system), and add them to a queue, to be transferred in one batch.  No more "start a transfer, wait for it to end, start another, wait ..." for you!  The queue also makes it easy to follow the progress of large, multi-file transfers while they happen.  Use the queue to manage the transfer process, changing the order the files will be transferred in, or cancelling the transfer of individual files.

Additionally, we've upgraded  Auto FTP Manager's Filters.  Now you can select files to transfer using advanced pattern matching.  It's the work of seconds to upload or download "Every file that starts with MAY and ends with ".doc".  We've also streamlined and improved the date filters.

And for all you tech-heads, Auto FTP Manager can now be started and controlled from the command line.  You can run any Automated Transfer Profile with a single command, or one line in a script.

My Screen Recorder—Recording Sound From An Application Under Windows Vista

mydan's Question:
On my Vista PC, when I select "Record from speakers," the program does not find any devices.

The Recording devices field is empty and clicking next displays the message "Audio device is not available."

Recording from Mic is fine.

Answer:
Windows Vista changed the way that sound is played and recorded. This required the makers of sound equipment to write new drivers.

Many of the first generation Vista sound drivers did not allow recording from the "Wave Out" (speaker) device. Makers of sound chips are now releasing new drivers that restore this capability. Please try these steps to activate the necessary device to re-enable recording from speakers:
