14 DAY TRIAL // muvee has recently announced the availability of the world's first 3D video editing technology available for the Android mobile platform.
Introduced at the 2011 CTIA in Orlando, Florida, the newly announced 3D video manipulation technology will accompany a suite of HD editing tools for Google's Android operating systems that were announced last month at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The new announcement comes as an addition to the recently released CODEN (Compressed Domain Editing Engine) technology that bypasses the need to decompress video before making basic edits.
With the new tools, the CODEN technology will also work for 3D HD videos which could mean up to twice the amount of video. As a result, HD 720p video files in 3D can be edited while in a compressed state with the muvee application.
“Consumers who shoot and share video on their mobile phones expect instant gratification. Making the CODEN stack usable for 3D video is valuable to the industry's efforts to promote user generated 3D content,” said Terence Swee, CEO, muvee. “However, editing video has traditionally been a computationally expensive operation, given the large resolution and complex compression used. By going the way of 3D, this problem doubles. Using smart technologies like CODEN enable users to be able to quickly edit their 3D videos on device, bypassing the need to transfer to a PC.”
Thanks to muvee's new technology, almost any camcorder phone will be able to achieve superior performance when working with HD video files.
However, only devices with dual-lens cameras for 3D video and image capture will be able to utilize muvee's 3D editing tool.
muvee's announcement follows that of handset maker LG, which recently released the LG Optimus 3D smartphone and tablet with user-friendly 3D capture and upload features.
The HD video editing toolkit is now available for both feature phone and smartphone handset manufacturers and operators.
