Mixed In Key, makers of Harmonic Mixing software used by DJs, has announced One Idea, which they describe as an innovative new software program that allows anyone to make a professional music video. They say that you simply open an audio file, choose a video clip, and One Idea will automatically sync them together.
Yakov Vorobyev, founder of Mixed In Key, told us, "One Idea removes the steep learning curve from making high-quality music videos. With bundled content, built-in effects and a simple interface, anyone can jump in and create a music video for any audio track."
The key to One Idea is beat matching. The playback speed of any video can be adjusted to match the beat of the audio track. You can import your own footage or choose from One Idea's collection of included clips to get started. Video layers can then be blended together using click and drag envelopes, similar to those found in audio editing software.
Built-in effects give your music video a personal style. One Idea includes filters such as Pan and Zoom, Color Balance, Tile Pulse and many more. Effects can be stacked for limitless combinations. Key Features:
Simple and easy to use, even if you've never worked with video before
Automatically detects the tempo of imported audio files
Imports included clips or your own video footage from DSLR cameras such as Canon 5D Mark II
Syncs video footage to the tempo of audio files
Built-in effects tweak the look-and-feel of your video
Effects can be used to create video loops and add motion to still images
Content generators provide endless creative possibilities for VJs

Imports many different video formats, including MP4, MOV, and AVI
One Idea requires Windows 7 / Vista / XP. One Idea for Mac is coming later this year. Pricing and Availability:
