VideoSpin is a new offering from Pinnacle that allows you to create and edit videos and output them to a variety of formats. Pinnacle is known for putting together high quality video editing software (typically, most of us are introduced to their products when we purchase a video or digital camera and a Pinnacle application is bundled with the product), so seeing a free program from them is great news.
While Windows includes a very adept application for video editing (Windows Movie Maker), sometimes you just need some additional perks that WMM can't offer.
The layout of VideoSpin is pretty much identical to most other video applications out there such as Adobe Premiere and Windows Movie Maker: Timeline window at the bottom, preview window in the upper right-hand corner, video clips in the upper left-hand corner...it is a very familiar interface - so, getting used to the VideoSpin interface is not a problem.
Probably the feature that sets VideoSpin apart is the ability to easily upload your finished videos to YouTube (flash output is supported) and Yahoo Video (100Mb and/or 10 minute limit). This is the perfect application for anyone who is getting into sharing their videos online.
Just like Premiere and Movie Maker, you can add transition effects, additional audio and subtitles (which look really good!).
I noticed that I could not maximize the VideoSpin window - I dunno, I think with an application where you are editing video or photo content should have the ability to maximize to get the most screen real estate as possible.
Output formats supported: AVI, DivX, Flash Video, iPod Compatible, MPEG-1/2/4, Real Media, Sony PSP Compatible, Windows Media. While MPEG2, MPEG4 and DIVX is supported as an output format - you have 15 days to try out the codecs before you must buy them. However, this doesn't stop you from converting them with some other application...!
