muvee Reveal version 8 Home Movie Making Software Is up to 8x Faster With CUDA-Enabled NVIDIA GeForce GPUs
muvee Reveal Saves Consumers Valuable Time by Leveraging the NVIDIA CUDA Architecture for Video Processing
| Source: NVIDIA
SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - November 24, 2009) - NVIDIA Corp. and muvee, the pioneer and
leader in home movie making software and services, today announced that
consumers with NVIDIA® CUDA™-enabled NVIDIA GeForce® and NVIDIA
ION™ graphics processing units (GPUs) installed in their computers will
get up to 8 times faster rendering of home movies created with the new
muvee Reveal version 8 automatic video editing software.
In just three steps, consumers can create professional-looking home movies
with muvee Reveal in minutes by uploading photos and video, selecting
music, then choosing a style. With patented face and motion detection,
muvee Reveal automatically selects the best scenes and syncs everything to
the beat of the music. Users who have NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs will see
movies render up to 8 times faster and free up their CPUs to perform other
tasks.
"Videos are already the preferred means of sharing memories today and we
want to improve the user experience not just for the consumers of such
videos, but also for the creator. With NVIDIA CUDA graphic cards, users
can not only create great looking videos along with complex 3D transitions
and effects, but can also render their masterpiece lightning fast due to
the large numbers of processor cores, which is perfect for the massively
parallel nature of what we do," says Terence Swee, CEO, muvee.
For over eight years muvee has been creating automatic video editing
software and services for consumers. muvee Reveal version 8 surpasses all
previous programs in the muvee family with new enhanced features including
optimization for the NVIDIA CUDA architecture.
"GPU computing is revolutionizing the consumer PC experience for photo and
video applications," said Michael Steele, general manager of visual
consumer solutions at NVIDIA. "muvee Reveal is shockingly easy to use and
can turn a disorganized pile of digital photos and videos in to a slick
home video in only a few minutes by tapping into the computing power of the
GPU with NVIDIA CUDA technology."
The NVIDIA CUDA architecture enables the broadest array of GPU computing
programming language support and API support, including Microsoft's
DirectCompute, OpenCL, CUDA C, CUDA Fortran, and others. With over 150
million CUDA-enabled GPUs in the market, NVIDIA continues to evolve the
CUDA development environment with a growing set of tools, libraries and
academic momentum.
