NXP Software Demonstrates 'One-Click' Video Editing for Mobile Phones at Mobile World Congress 2008


BARCELONA, February 8 /PRNewswire/ --

- NXP Software's LifeVibes(TM) VideoArtist Brings Easy, Professional-
Style Video Editing to Mass Market Phones for the First Time

NXP Software is demonstrating unique 'one-click' video editing software 
for mass market mobile phones at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2008. It enables 
a fun user experience, transforming personal content into professional-
looking clips quickly, easily and with no loss of quality. It also opens 
additional opportunities for product / service differentiation through 
offering users pre-loaded or downloadable video themes to create their clips.

LifeVibes VideoArtist enables advanced 'one-click' editing capabilities.
Users simply shoot video as normal, then select a pre-defined theme such as
'sporty' or 'romantic'. With one click they can apply the theme, complete
with audio track, and the clip is ready.

Themes can be stored on the phone or downloaded. In addition, a 'wizard'
feature allows users to add intro texts, static or animated frames, and
choose from over 100 professionally-designed transitions.

VideoArtist achieves automatic professional-looking results through a
range of advanced analysis capabilities such as Key Scene Detection. It also
automatically removes uninteresting scenes and each sequence is kept short
making clips lively to watch.

This one-click editing is ideal for immediate sharing between friends,
video blogging and creating MMSs, adding great fun to video services. It also
ensures clips are not too large to send, avoiding user frustration with MMS
sharing.

NXP Software's video editing products are present in over 100 million
handsets. VideoArtist builds on this expertise offering flexible,
upgradeable, pre-integrated solutions optimized for a broad range of mobile
phone platforms. VideoArtist Lite is specifically designed to address less
powerful platforms for one-click video editing.

"LifeVibes VideoArtist and VideoArtist Lite enhance the fun of video on
mobile by producing professional-looking results in a really quick and simple
way. This added fun and ease of use is a strong differentiator and will help
drive uptake of mobile user-generated content services. And with
opportunities to offer custom downloadable themes, it's exciting for everyone
- users, handset vendors and operators," states Peter van de Berg, Marketing
Director, NXP Software.
