In three steps, muvee Reveal lets users select photos and video, choose music, and select a style, and muvee automatically creates a professional-looking home movie synced to the beat of the music. The muvee Reveal Audiovox Edition has been further customized with one-click saving options that automatically choose the format, size and optimal bitrate to render the final video that will display most beautifully on the particular Audiovox Digital Photo Frame.
