Today MGI, the makers of the popular consumer video editing tool VideoWave announced MGI Cinematic which further automates the video editing process.

The software includes technology that will automate the moviemaking process for people who do not want to learn with more advanced tools. The software captures the video and edits it based on a pres-elected style by the user such as music video or old-time movie. The software organizes the clips, adds transitions and sets the tempo.

For the more advanced user there are wizards that help the user make their video with preset styles such as wedding, birthyday or other events. The program also provides a more free storyboard editing mode for those who know more about video editing. The software will be available in November for $89.99.
