Stylish Video Editing on Nokia

Muvee is an app from Singapore which is very cool. You shoot a video clip on your Nokia (7610, 6630, 6670, 3230 for model number fetishists). Then you choose a template for your "Muvee", which gets automatically mixed with your video to give special effects, text message and sound track.

The results are surprisingly professional from the demo on the site and threaten to make someone else's home video interesting!

The idea is you then send it by MMS, assuming the recipient is on the same network, or that your operator has figured out that network compatibility might be important and that you have the right settings on your phone in the first place. And that MMS happens to work on a Tuesday :-)

But if the idea can overcome all these barriers to usage, it's great and I'm sure will do really well.

The service costs £3.50 (c. $5.60) which I'd say is a tad expensive. But not unreasonable, especially when you think that this isn't a everyday purchase, a little like a small gift.

I've long argued that one of the issues that's holding MMS back is the lack of creative template-driven content. This is a great example of the kind of thing I mean.
