"Trim & Join" feature that lets users become a video maker who can customize a clip's start and
end points to keep only desirable segments. Users have total control to click and drag images
and arrange (or rearrange) video segment exactly as desired to create a custom movie. The
editing is achieved easily with software that guides the user from start to finish. After completing
the video production, the user can save it to PC for sharing on YouTube™, Box.net or via e-mail.
