Muvees

One of the most fun bits of the Movie Director application on Symbian phones such as the N73 is the ability to make Muvees, micromovies that can be compressed into a multimedia message (MMS) and sent to your friends' phones just like a text.
To make a Muvee, select a video or image in the Gallery, click Edit and go to Create muvee. It will list a number of styles, ready-made edgings and background music to create various moods from Funsterish to Serenity. Then you can add text at the beginning and end, and merge in still images and other videos.
Press Create Muvee and a few seconds later, it is ready for transmission. Once you have found your way round the menus, Muvees can be run up in minutes.
To show what a Muvee looks like, I created one from the video of Gerty Guineapig. In fact, it is a Gerty Muvee (say that out loud).
The quality is...what camera makers call 'fun', ie total pants, but if grandmum gets a Muvee of grandkids playing on the beach, is she going to complain? She'll alter her will in their favour directly.
Longer, better quality Muvees can also be created but they must be transmitted by email, Bluetooth, web upload or WiFi if you have it.
