CyberLink Launches MediaShow 4, Bringing Digital Memories to Life

One Software Application to Manage, Enhance, and Share Digital Photos and Videos

CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), innovative solutions provider for the connected digital lifestyle, today released CyberLink MediaShow 4, combining photo and video management, enhancement, authoring, burning and sharing in one convenient application. The software features a next-generation 3D “liquid” interface that ensures ease-of-use and fun for users while working on their precious photos and videos.

Key features of CyberLink MediaShow 4 include:

Easy, drag-and-drop media-management functionality
Stunning 3D liquid user interface, providing a stylishly simple, and highly responsive work environment
1-click tools for enhancing videos and photos
3-click DVD authoring with instant preview and burning
Cell-style slideshow creator, featuring beat detection technology that automatically syncs photo animations to selected background music
Easy creation of themed-based movies
Stylish and animated DVD menus
Direct online publishing of photos and videos through Flickr and YouTube

“The ubiquity of mainstream digital cameras and mobile phones is prompting users to take more videos and photos, and accumulate thousands of them on their PCs,” said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. “CyberLink MediaShow 4 is the ideal software to manage visual media libraries in a fun and easy way, allowing users to enhance their own videos and photos quickly, helping them to share their stories creatively, through slideshows, online posting and preserving their best memories onto DVDs.”

MediaShow 4 features a stunning 3D “liquid” interface, for easy, fun and stylish navigation, with smooth transitions and quick responsiveness. Videos and photos can be enhanced with one-click editing tools, or efficiently fine tuned to match one’s needs. Photo editing features include a split-screen window, conveniently showing “before and after” next to each other for easy comparison.

MediaShow 4 lets users create cool and stylish content such as impressive slideshows, including the new, stunning animated “cell” style, which features beat detection technology for automatically synchronizing the animation of photos according to a soundtrack’s rhythm. Users can therefore create unique slideshows from a single set of photos, simply by changing their music selection.

3-click DVD authoring, and instant previewing, let users output their videos and slideshows in no time. One-click emailing and direct uploading to online sites Flickr and YouTube allow users to publish and share their content with friends, and the world.

Photo Quote: Very often people looking at my pictures say, 'You must have had to wait a long time to get that cloud just right (or that shadow, or the light).' As a matter of fact, I almost never wait, that is, unless I can see that the thing will be right in a few minutes. But if I must wait an hour for the shadow to move, or the light to change, or the cow to graze in the other direction, then I put up my camera and go on, knowing that I am likely to find three subjects just as good in the same hour. - Edward Weston
