Movie Studio documentation/how-tos? Kind of disapointed

Hey guys,
I have a Xoom and recently tried to use the movie studio...maybe I can't figure it out, but I am disappointed with how generic it is.
The ability to add clips/pictures is fine, but it is annoying that I cannot trim clips before I put it into the timeline.
Also, this is huge, but why can't I put multiple audio files into the movie? It plays ONE song, over and over for the entire movie...I want to be able to trim audio clips and even MUTE the original video clip...iMovie can do all of this, and it seems like this movie studio is just a generic rushed POS that Google put out just to get it out.
Honestly, I am severely disappointed in the movie studio....BUT maybe it is my fault...thats why I am asking if there is any documentation for the studio.
Like when I click on audio files, there is one option at the top right that does not seem to do anything. It looks like a box with sound waves in it that get bigger or smaller depending if I toggle it...but it doesn't do ****.
Any thoughts?

It's a basic and free app included with the OS. If you want to do extended editing, get a computer or wait for a better app to come out.
And wow, comparing it with iMovie? Honeycomb is a new OS, and this is the very first offering and you're *****ing about it.
iMovie is a paid app ($5 I think) and NOT available for the iPad.
iMovie works with iPhone 4,
fourth-generation iPod touch, and iPad 2

who cares if its a first offering...I am still disappointed in it. It is a lacking movie editor.
iMovie was Apple's first attempt at it with the IP4 on a mobile device and it was already much better than the Movie Studio...being a "first" iteration is not an excuse for something sucking.
And I dont think the movie studio has anything to do with Honeycomb...I love honeycomb

So put forth your money and buy one of the paid apps if you want something more.
My point, don't complain about something that was thrown in as a little bonus for free. If you paid something for it, sure, complain, but you didn't, and you're comparing it to a paid application on another system that isn't even comparable to the Xoom (iPhone vs Tablet).
And I can guarantee that iMovie on the iPad 2 is going to be at least twice as much as the iPhone version, maybe even more knowing how Apple likes to soak their users. I'm guessing $15

What paid one do you suggest...

Never needed one since I don't do much video. Check out the market?
https://market.android.com/apps/MEDIA_AND_VIDEO/

There's only 1 in the market and it just takes any video clip u have and you can edit that one clip
I agree with the op. Google seems to always release beta software. I would love to record a couple videos, clip them and mix them together, add more than one music track I would even pay for an app that does all this.
I don't even want to show the app to any of my apple loving friends because it just makes the xoom look even more unfinished

I honestly think people need to chill out around here. The op was stating a couple things he didn't like about an app on his xoom whether it's free or not doesn't matter, he's got the right to complain about what ever the hell he wants. And furthermore he's really just asking for some type of documentation because maybe he missed something. And this lame ass excuse that because this is Google's first shot at a tablet os is starting to get old. Just because honeycomb is the first tablet os doesn't mean that google shouldn't be held accountable for their **** ups. For example, the ****ing market. Who's genius idea was it to remove the ability to comment on apps from the device? Whoever that was is an asshole. /rant

The video editing software is just made for basic video editing...features that you find in window video editing software.

exactly. Thanks.
I was stating how bad I thought it was then was asking for some/any documentation...
Does anyone know what the heck the button is on the top right when you click on the audio track? It looks like sound waves....and clicking it makes them flatter or larger but I can't see or hear what it does.

i'm baffled too. my first guess would be it helps eliminate crackles or background noise from your audio as my first guess. music files shouldnt have any background distortion.

How to get video off device?
I have another video editor. How can I get the video file off of the xoom? I have tried:
- email as attachment in gmail
- email as attachment in isp mail service
- ftp
None of these actually transmit the file.
Thank you
Tom

Usefulness of the application aside. Google could have done more on documentation for Movie Studio.

any answer on the music button? Figured out what it does yet?
I wish we could fade the music at the end instead of an abrupt ending...I'd rather have that than multiple songs in a short clip.

Export problem
I have flashed my Galaxy GT-I9000M with IGS 4.0.3 SGS rom RC4.2.
I cannot export anything with Movie Studio, each time I want to export, the screen appear at 0% and exit after few second and say "error occur, cannot export"
I have try just to import one clip and export it, not work. Try different quality and resolution, don't work.
Exporting folder not created?
Writing permission ??
Any idea ???

Touchless Smartphones - Do you see the SGS2

Its on the BBC page...
Why Post here you ask ? - Well I saw the guy with an SGS2 cleverly hiding the samsung logo.. I guess I SGS2 will be a definite keeper and better things to come
A tiny Israeli start-up company called XTR3D - soon you'll be able to flick through channels and adjust the volume using only... your hand.
You'll just have to turn your palm towards the screen, and zap away without ever getting off the couch.
And no need for under-the-skin electronics or fancy microchips.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15970019
Although the Israeli firm follows in the footsteps of Microsoft's Kinect, the multi-directional gesture control gaming console that was launched last year and has since been selling like hot cakes despite the average $200 price tag, its technology is quite different.

XTR3D
The Kinect has depth sensors, multi-array microphones and RGB cameras that provide the software with the information it needs to track both voice and gestures.
XTR3D, on the other hand, uses ordinary 2D cameras - such as a webcam of a computer or the one in your smartphone - to extract 3D out of a 2D image.
This creates the same three-dimensional effect as on the Kinect.

this is an interesting technology. hope wil come to s2

This looks awesome, imagine the possibilities!

I don't see a GS2 anywhere on that page. There are two photos with phones, and neither looks anything like a GS2 - in fact I'm 90% certain the picture of the guy driving a car is a computer generated mockup.

Google Project Glass. The future of advertisement.

1) Google Glass: possibilities of advertisement; basing adverstisement of what you see and geographically enable, taking advantage of streetview and visually as to what the user is seeing on the UI. For example, if a user walks by and views a McDonalds, a Google Goggles application will identify the image and instantly rely an advertisement to you.

I see where you are coming from and i agree. It would also be great for museums and what not to give you the information on the artwork without having to read a tile and what not.
It's a neat product for sure.

More thoughts are welcome. Discussion and relative views are encouraged!

I think it'll be used for those reality TV shows a lot.

Oh my, OP, Google isnt just all about ads, They do other stuff too.

2) I think most people don't realize this yet. There are some very neat things that can be done with Google Glass for the visually impaired. It could be used as a tool that will assist by using a combination of Google Goggles, and GPS to guide the visually impaired in ways that nothing else has really done...

i think this tech is great...but i'm afraid it will kill our social life..i watch from youtube about project glass advertisement..that person a wearing glass make a date without her girlfreind and at the book store he is looking for ?? section..he didn't ask from a lady at counter..its look like a film WALL-E..just sit at chair..everything in front your eye and you are not noticed who are between of you.. this is only my 2cent opinion..sorry for my bad english..

Good point. We've already reached some of that. As in people looking down at their smartphone most of the time rather than socializing.

I don't know how you're supposed to be driving and wearing this thing at the same time. Will the DOT allow this on public roads? I mean... Imagine you're driving down I-95 S while wearing it and something pops up on the ride of the glasses. At the same time, a truck is trying to merge into your lane from the right. You didn't see it coming because your glasses prevented you from seeing that truck in your right-side mirror...

Imagine they make real time translation lang to lang in text or voice mod...

I hope thant when i walk or drive, I haven't my eyes full of advertising!!! Or i collise with other people or wall xD

Random thoughts
The idea is not new, but being a big and supposedly not evil company behind it may success.
- The official video can create a lot of hype. But. You won't be able to perform most things they do there. It is expensive.
Will this eventually get better? Who knows. I guess this is an experiment, it may success or not.
- Btw, does exist already any kind indoor GPS like in the video?
- Could this eventually kill the phone as we know it (with the help of tablets)?
- Is it only for one eye? and no way to remove reality background? Not good for watching movies then.
- Input interfaces: I don't think voice commands can work when surround by crowd in the street. As someone said, work by blinking eyes? by moving head? by moving eyes? have a couple of buttons?
- Presbyopia. When we get older we have trouble watching our small phone screens. These glasses will naturally overcome this.
- Casual public social networking: See what radom people around you is thinking realtime (like Google Plus' "near you" but better), see their avatars. Have your GPS on 24/7 and drain your battery too, or use NFC if it helps. May a new p2p GPS network emerge, or ground GPS, who knows.
- Easy and fast NFC sharing is required, as you cannot just show your screen to your friend like you can do with phones.
I tried to say a few things as I thought them, probably all of the have been worked out already elsewhere.

Well, i believe and Google also says it at some places that it'll cause accidents.
Definitely you won't be using it while driving a car or walking across the street therefore it won't be local mostly professionals will be using it like sky divers, astronauts etc ..

Awesome points made there. This really makes you think.

Sounds Cool!

I happen to use a lot of coupons. Normally I'll look up the coupons at home for businesses I'll be around during the next day.
It would be fairly handy if eventually an app could be made for google glass that would pop up coupons/sales for places as I travel past them.

Luckily you'll be able to get a driverless car so that you don't crash while using your glasses

please everything except advertising, i wont wanna pay $1500 for adverts to be directly beamed into my face:silly:

Google will release their project glass...then get sued by Apple because apple just patented Google's invention. :banghead:

Adsense for Google Glass.. that's funny!

Lapdock Concept Successor? NexPhone

http://www.nexcrea.com/
Looks interesting, especially since they plan on implementing Ubuntu for Android on their phone, though I wouldn't get my hopes up, since Canonical hasn't mentioned them at all, so far.
Still, if this isn't Vapourware or some scam to phish money from some poor geek, there's my next phone, gentlemen.

seem like Atrix 4G....

The problem is that this is coming from an industrial designer who has no experience with making phones. He has the concept which isn't much. Plus, that is a very specific connection that only the one phone would have and you would have to always stay with that phone if you wanted to use your accessories (which probably cost a lot). What those accessories need is a universal connection that can work with any phone and then software that can be integrated into any phone. While they're nice renderings I'm not holding my breath for this even becoming a reality. Their donation site doesn't even offer the product for high donors which leaves little incentive to donate.
Sorry for being a Debbie Downer. If it comes out I'd love to see how it works

Imo the Asus Padphone is the real lapdock successor.
You can transform it into a tablet and a notebook with working touchscreen .

The tablet design is quite horrible.

For something like this to fly, it will need to be non proprietary. Also, physical connectors need to go, NFC or some version that is high speed enough for video is needed.
Cheers!

Yeah, I agree this sounds fishy, especially since Canonical hasn't said a word so far, and I'd think they would be spreading the word to the four corners of the earth if they had finally managed to get some traction on the smartphone market.
Personally, I'd much rather have physical connectors, though. Most things wireless chew through battery and tend to go haywire at the time you most need them. An option to go wireless or wired would cover all bases, though.

Fishing for investment funds is my guess.
I would love to see the concept play out, but expect it to happen as natural evolution from the couple products we already have.

I was referring to docking the phone as opposed to streaming video over wifi over distance, I say use NFC for communications including video/sound and induced recharging ala powermat all at the same time. Technically challenging perhaps but not science fiction.
Cheers!

Induction charging is horribly inefficient, no good for a mobile device.

Once the campaign is over, discussion stops until device is available Keep in mind, after Kreyos you had HOT watch and Omate, and new Sony SW2, Samsung Gear, etc. Too much in the news which takes attention away, and people forget about Agent and Kreyos...

Here is something Kreyos mentioned that has me a little worried:
"only one 3rd party watch app can be downloaded to the watch at one time. Whereas we have default Kreyos watch apps already built into the Meteor itself. We can hold 20 watch faces."
Not sure how many 3rd party apps there will be, but still, one seems like a big limitation.

If it's a memory limitation, hopefully they will have a way to off-load some native apps to allow more 3rd party ones. It is kind of alarming because it would be a disaster to rely purely on native apps. If I learned anything from my use of MetaWatch, if it wouldn't be for Noah/Community edition and other custom user stuff, I would probably give up on using it with "native only" support which is at a very slow pace.
Btw, I still haven't seen any indication if they are on track with shipping schedule. I know they are talking about survey letters being send out and making a really big deal out of it, and taking attention away from the main concern of shipment date.

My main concern with the Kreyos is thickness. If I don't like it once it comes, I think I'll go for the agent watch just because it most looks like a normal watch. Unless something better comes along.

That is something I am worried about also. The pebble is pretty damn perfect in size... May change out the watchband but the kreyos just looks bulkier from teh pictures... Have to wait til november to find out.

Not officially posted, but here is their latest video:
http://vimeo.com/76443374
You can see the reduced logo compared to their previous prototype.

My fingers hurt watching that.. hopefully they're not but it looks like those really squishy buttons that take mad force to get a reaction... it's probably just the way the person is pressing them, making dramatic button presses =P

... or just a part of workout for your fingers since its targeted as "activity" watch. Actually, I think that was an awful video. After such a long silence they should have released a video demonstrating it's smartwatch functionality instead of handful of awful looking watchfaces and a general functionality as a smart-stopwatch. I'm not knocking Kreyos down, those guys are the real deal and ran a good crowdfunding campaign. But looking at it now after seeing what Omate and SW2 can do - it looks so bulky and limited, based on that video alone, not general description of functionality. They should have produced a better video.

They posted an update saying the buttons have been fixed since that prototype (they were testing the waterproofing) and claim that engineer's wrist/arm is unusually small. I still think its going to be bulky, but its the same thickness as the Omate. They also admitted the video sucked.
I think they are unfortunately giving in to the impatient people on their page and shot a real quick video. I hope they don't continue to 'give in' to comments on their page and do a rush job.
Hi all backers,
We received many comments and email regarding the video, so here are some FAQs regarding the video:
1) Buttons issue
This is one of early prototypes, the buttons are very tight because we are testing the waterproof solutions for the watch. We have since fixed the issue.
2) Why is the screen not clear/sharp?
If you look closely, the camera's focus isn't on the screen, therefore it might look "blur-ish" or unclear. The Kreyos Meteor uses Sharp's Memory LCD, which is one of the best LCDs that's available in the market. Pebble, Agent and Nike's GPS watch are all also using the same LCD. We will do a better job when filming the next video.
3) Size
Jason, our engineer in the video has a very small wrist. If it is worn on someone with a regular wrist size, it won't look as bulky. Another reason might be because the video is done up close to the Meteor.
4) Final Product?
NO, this is NOT the final product, we just wanted to show our backers a quick demo video of a working prototype. More videos will follow once its ready.
5) Voice, Gesture, Apps
We are working on finalizing the last few UIs and also the Kreyos App, once that's done we will post new pictures and video updates.
6) Quality & Lead Components
Even though the Meteor is assembled in China, Kreyos Meteor is built using the best components (80% imported lead components). We are very focused on building a great quality product and we are very confident that our backers will feel the same when they received the Kreyos Meteor.
We cherish all feedback and comments from all backers, but please do not include rude comments with it. Kreyos is a new startup with grand visions, your pledge gives us the opportunity in building the Meteor, rest assured it will not be taken for granted.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to email us at [email protected]. Once again we like to thank all backers for your support and patience.
