Mix Master Tip: Want cooler muvees? Put that VIDEO in it!
We had some folks telling us how much they enjoyed muveeMix as a tool for creating photo slideshows. Thanks guys! And if you think our photo slideshows are cool, there’s more you could do to make it cooler - add videos. Yep! That’s it…
muveeMix works its magic best when short video clips are blended with an array of pictures so that the entire production is cut to the pace of music – just like how the transitions seem to come in at the right time and place in a music video.
[video clip(s) lasting 1 to 3 minutes each + 10 pictures at least + music lasting at least 1.5 minutes] should do the basic trick but do put in as much media as you can and reach that 100MB limit.
Besides, motion pictures always seem to be able to charge up that adrenalin or induce that nostalgia ache in us more readily than just static pictures. Well, that’s how we see it. Whatcha think?
So now you know how easy it is, remember to capture that few minutes of cake smashing action at the next birthday party or the dancing busker while touring the streets. And don’t worry about editing it. We’ll be with you on this. Just add it into your muveeMix concoction and enjoy that moment of marvel - true blue effortless cool.

are you planning to add some delete function for those muvees which get stuck for some reason and are forever “coming soon”?
I pushed the limits puting small videos in one muvee…
otherwise I’m forced of having several accounts, since everytime one gets stuck the folloing ones seem to stuck as well…

Hi bernat,
Thanks for your feedback. File formats that are known to work well with muveeMix are MPEG-1 and DivX for instance. Some AVI file formats are known to wrap unsupported video streams, such as Xvid or even MPEG-4.
Videos that are not supported are manually transcoded by us, usually within 24 hours. If transcoding doesn’t work, we remove the video if there are enough pictures available.
In all other cases, we would remove the muvee and contact the user. We could make the cancellation feature available if the previous attempt failed; that way, if we catch it faster we solve it; if not, the user can decide to remove it
