Summary: Unbelievable buy for the money!
Review: I am a professional web designer and I have used many video and animation software products costing hundreds of dollars. I needed to find something for my mom who is very new at this type of stuff. I certainly couldn't expect her to learn any programs like Flash or Premier (or afford them), so after some digging, I came across MovieWorks.

This product is just as it advertises. My mom was able to put together some simple QuickTime movies after going through the tutorials. It was a breeze for her.

For the money, this is a great buy for a family or small business. Highly recommended.

Summary: Don't use for editing video!!!
Review: The video program is too compilcated. How you delete scenes is not easy; you have to hold the shift key and drag slider on the player to delete video. It goes too fast and you end up deleting video you do not want to delete. However, it is suprisingly easy to add music. All you have to do is drag and drop music file in project window, and decide where the music shows up in your project in the sequencer window. Use this product for the animator and sound editor. The animator is easy to use. And it is a blast to make 2-D cutout cartoons. The sound editor is cool because you can manipulate audio files to your pleasure. If you want video editing do not get this product. If you want a cheap way to create fun animation on a computer , This is exactly what you want!!!
