Chick Video Studio

Chick Video Studio is a comprehensive and intuitive program designed to help offer a suite of functions stacked in a small tool to play, convert, cut and join various video file formats along with the option to create interesting mixes using different transition effects.

In order to access the application, an email registration is required, after which you can start watching your favorite clips. The tool supports file formats, such as AVI, MPG, MPEG, ASF, MOV, 3GP, MP4 and FLV. It's wrapped in a well-organized and accessible layout divided into six sections, each providing distinct options.

To add a file, simply browse its location on the computer and the tool automatically plays it with the built-in player. The record can be paused and stopped at any given time, switched to fullscreen mode, and the sound changed to the desired volume. Plus, the app displays the duration of the video, the codec, resolution and frame rate.

The converter lets you transform a file to another type (AVI, MPEG, WMW, DVD, VCD) entirely or just specific time intervals. For each format, advanced settings can be applied, such as different video and audio compressors for AVI and bit, frame and audio rate for MPEG.

Regarding the cutter, similar steps are used for cropping an item, just as for the converter, and the joiner feature, it merges back together the split records. You have the option to mix together in one file multiple audio and video elements to create an interesting collage for someone dear to you. The transition tab, lets you add various effects to more than one clip, some of them being zig zag, bars, blinds, slide, stretch, spiral or wipe, for each a transition and duration time can be set.

Taking everything into account, Chick Video Studio is a handy and approachable utility that comes in handy when you want to accomplish multiple actions for a single item, like watching a preferred video, convert, cut and join it, as well as design a mix of more files and insert multiple effects.
