Video Magic Ultimate

The constant technological evolution of media rendering devices has brought about an increase in types of formats, but many of these are not inter-compatible, and if you wish to be able to play them regardless, you will probably need to resort to a conversion instrument.

The options in this area are endless, and one of them is Video Magic Ultimate, a feature-packed program with numerous conversion possibilities, as well as some basic editing options that can come in handy.

Appearance-wise, the utility does not stray too far from the general look of such applications, which means its usage should cause minimal discomfort for most people, and even novices will be able to get the hang of it within a few tries.

The main window of Video Magic Ultimate allows you to load the files you intend to work with, either locally stored or from a DVD, while an integrated player lets you render it right then and there.

The application supports an extensive amount of popular formats, both for input and output, and includes but is not limited to MP3, AAC, M4A, AVI, MOV, MP4, WMV and many others. It can even target specific devices, such as Apple, BlackBerry, HTC, Sony, Nokia or Samsung.

In terms of editing capabilities, Video Magic Ultimate lets you merge multiple files together, clip the movie to a certain duration or crop it to preferred dimensions. You can add effects (customizing brightness, hue, saturation and contrast), or you can load a subtitle file, defining its size and position onto the video. Watermarking the file with a preferred message is also possible.

Moreover, the program enables you to create slideshows with background music and even credits. A YouTube downloader helps you grab your favorite videos from the website, while the ‘Make Ringtone’ component allows you to use your favorite tunes on your phone.

Overall, Video Magic Ultimate proves to be an efficient and easy to handle utility that can help you make the most out of your multimedia files, offering a considerable number of customization and editing options for you to tinker with.
