ShowBiz DVD Editor's Review
DVD is an ideal option to store data as well as preserve your memorable moments of life. To burn your favorite movie collection or holiday video footage on DVDs, using a suitable app is also required. The Windows bundled disc burning utility is pretty basic. If you want an affordable yet feature rich DVD authoring tool that has low learning curve, try out ShowBiz DVD by ArcSoft. It has some powerful video-editing tools and an intuitive editing environment that will be suited for a majority of users. Creating professional looking DVD videos with this app is quite simple.
ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD works on PCs with Windows XP and later editions. The installation is quite straightforward and you can start working with the app soon after.
As it is, the software has elements common with rival apps like Corel Video Studio but it presents the layouts and workflow in a more user friendly way. ShowBiz DVD offers plenty of options to import files in project. You can import nearly all image, video and audio formats. You can import media files from a myriad of devices including camera, DVD, camera and external storage devices etc. Export options are somewhat limited though.
The editing setup in ShowBiz DVD is simple but practical. Adding visual effects to images and video files is hassle free. For those who want to burn a DVD fast, the Quick DVD option comes in handy. You may also resort to the Create tab in the UI for same purpose. It is prudent that you can preview the entire recording and explore chapters and menus before the disc is actually burnt. This helps you save time and repeated edits.
When you add a video clip to the app’s timeline, there are options to change and control attributes. Switching between storyboard and timeline views are simple and you can assign animated text, effects and transitions to clips. The slideshows can be equipped with Pan & Zoom feature. However, the app comes with rather limited number of creative effects. Advanced features like image stabilization and PIP mode are also absent. The transitions are aplenty and they also look really professional in the end footage.
ShowBiz DVD excels in menu creation options. For the DVD discs you burn using the app, it is possible to make menus and sub-menus. The menus can be customized to a great extent with components like text, animated thumbnails etc. Apart from making customized DVDs. The videos can also be saved on hard disk in AVI and WMV formats. If you want a solution for making videos that will play on most mobile devices, this is not the app for you.
ArcSoft offers a user manual with this app and the website has a FAQ section as well. The company also offers email based support for buyers of this software. However, there is no phone or live chat support available.
Positive Points:
• Easy to use, Low learning curve.
• Extensive media format support and import options.
• Plenty of sleek looking transitions.
Negative Points:
• Not suited for mobile friendly video creation.
• No Live chat and phone support available.
• No image stabilization and PIP feature.
Conclusion:
ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD is not meant for studio based video editing setups but home users have little reason to grudge about the app and its performance. From installation to disc creation, there is no complexity involved in anything. The interface of this software is sleek and even a first time user can tinker with the settings quickly. You can also add effects and transitions to clips with ease and creating sleek looking slideshows is also simple with this app. The export options are rather limited but for home users it should not be a deal breaker. The number of effects is not exactly category leading but the app comes with a lot of handy transitions that look very polished on videos. The included Help section is decent but lack of phone and chat support is somewhat disappointing.
Rating: 3/5
