I had 16 style choices for my instant movie, from baby to Xtreme. It's not perfect, however-it missed that one talking head video contained people. You can even have the selector window automatically highlight scenes that are dark, fuzzy, or those that include action or people. New this year, you can select scenes from within your clips. CineMagic takes you through a three-step process that combines your footage and photos, and adds background music and titles. The suite's much-improved CineMagic app makes it easy to create video compilations.

Most popular software-and even some free software (including Picasa)-can rotate video to fix this. Most of us have used a point-and-shoot camera or iPhone sideways or upside down to shoot a video.
One notable lack is the ability to rotate video. It can add tons of effects and transitions to your cinematic creations.

The advanced digital movie editor hasn't changed much. And for some reason, it didn't import the PNG images on the iPhone. This meant, however, that my videos were in the Pictures folder rather than in Videos. My workaround was to import from the Photo page. The same app works for importing both images and videos. That's depressing, but overall I got far fewer errors than in the previous version. I encountered my first error message when importing video from my iPhone with Roxio Media Import. And the top of each sub-page in the start app now shows the top three actions for each category: e.g., the Music Audio page shows Burn Audio CDs, Rip, and Digitize LPs and Tapes.- Next: Video Editing Another plus is that you can do more right from the home interface, like burn disc images. I do appreciate that you can just start any major suite component from the Windows Start menu. I still prefer how Nero's launcher closes and reappears when you run another program in the suite Roxio's works as an independent app. Sadly, several of the suite's sub-apps, like the Media Manager and PhotoSuite, retain outdated interfaces. The first four choices use the same window as the start interface the rest show up-curved arrows to indicate that they launch another program. These icons change to match your actual usage. The home screen offers big icons for the seven most popular functions: Burn data disc, burn image disc, copy disc, burn audio discs, create DVDs, edit video, and copy and convert video. The interface resembles last year's, but with much less clutter. Clicking once on the disc gadget drops down a menu offering to copy or eject the disc, and right-clicking or clicking again on a small down arrow drops down more options.

I quickly noticed that Creator grants Windows a Mac OS feature I've always thought Microsoft should add: displaying a desktop icon when you insert a disc into your drive.

Pro also gets you more sophisticated soundtrack tools, disaster recovery, and more advanced photo-editing tools. Though the standard version of Roxio burns Blu-ray data discs, to author movie Blu-ray discs, you need the Pro version, which costs $129.99.

I was, however, disappointed that I couldn't choose which suite components to install (Nero now lets me), and that Roxio still installs the Google Toolbar by default. I wondered if it was just because I was using a faster system, but when I ran the install on last year's test system, a 2GHz Athlon dual-core system with 2GB RAM, it was still much quicker: 24 minutes, compared with Creator 2009's 40 and Nero's 35. Installation is improved, taking just 10 minutes, ahead of Nero 9 Reloaded's 12 minutes on the same PC. I installed the suite on a pristine Windows 7 Ultimate machine with a 3-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 250GB hard drive. Plus, it's fully compatible with Windows 7. Also new are a burning desktop widget, Web video capture, AVCHD archiving, and the ability to pause and schedule long conversion tasks. This year's suite includes CinemaNow, the online movie service Roxio acquired in 2008. But Creator 2010 ($99.99 list) gives Roxio a good opportunity to reclaim its position. Last year, I didn't give Roxio Creator 2009 an Editors' Choice, as I had previous versions of the media suite: it crashed too often, and the interface, although improved, was still a confusing jumble of options.
