With Auto Movie Creator, it is possible to create one's own film without having to learn sometimes-complicated editing software like Final Cut and Adobe Premiere. Auto Movie Creator is a simplified film editor that will help you splice and render videos in a way that's much easier and more straightforward than using professional video editing software. Despite the simplicity of using Auto Movie Creator, users of the program can rest assured that the resulting video will look professional and will meet high standards.

The program wizard for Auto Movie Creator almost functions as an assistant director, working out and explaining many of the details of editing the video. The wizard takes users through each and every step of the video-making process, from capturing the initial video to outputting the finished product to a file type that suits your requirements.

One highly convenient feature of Auto Movie Creator is the "Detect Scenes" feature. This feature can automatically indicate to you which shots are the best in all the footage you have recorded. This feature helps you efficiently handle the process of editing out bad content -- what tends to be one of the most cumbersome processes of filmmaking.

Users of Auto Movie Creator often note that when using the software they feel more like they are using a photo editing program than a video editing program. However, this is a big advantage for many people. The feeling of using photo editing software rather than video editing software attests to the simplicity of the program and the fact that Auto Movie Creator can allow a filmmaker to create excellent results quickly and reliably without having to invest a great deal of time into learning the ins and outs of the program.
