Blaze Media Pro

Review by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder

Blaze Media Pro, by MystikMedia, Inc. is a really impressive product for doing anything with multi-media. At this years Shareware Industry Awards banquet it won the award in the Best Sound Program or Utilitycategory. With all of the growing interest in things like music, photos,and video, this is a program you need to look at because it has it all. You can dump a lot of extra software and simply use this. There are so many features and functions that I'd be hard pressed to talk about all of them, so I'll try to hit what I consider the high points. First off, the program supports a huge number of file formats including AVI, MPEG, WAV, MP3, MP2, CD, WMA, and lots more. Another excellent feature is that Blaze Media Pro can quickly convert files from one format to another format. And I'm talking both audio file conversions and video file conversions. The program reads the information from each file and you determine how much of that information is used. Very slick.

Blaze Media Pro will let you record from virtually any source including cassette players, mic, 8 tracks, and more. Basically any kind of input device will do. The program can also rip CDs and has support for the CDDB online database. And, another slick feature is the ability to create playlists that contain both audio and video! There's also support for drag and drop, the ability to edit audio files, add special effects, and more. The special effects are very cool and include such things as fade in, fade out, compress, amplify, reverb,and vibrato. There are also a number of filters that can be used including such things as notch filter, high pass, low pass, and more.I've watched this program change and mature over the years and it's become a real powerhouse when it comes to multi-media. Again, the list of things it can do would take pages to tell you about adequately. It can even take the audio out of a video file and save it as a sound file. How cool is that? VERY!

Really into video? Well BlazeMedia Pro can help you to edit, and enhance, your video clips. You can resize, trim, crop, adjust the audio, and even delete out frames you don't want. The program also has a "Batch Video Processor" that lets you perform operations on a group of video files. Very nice. Even a person like me who is "graphically challenged" can use Blaze MediaPro and end up with some impressive results. Become your own film editor and really enhance your movies.

Blaze Media Pro, by Mystik Media, is a really powerful tool that works with an impressive list of audio, graphics, and video files. You can edit and enhance audio, video, and use practically anything as an input device. Convert both audio and video into different file formats,do batch operations, edit graphics, add special effects, rip CDs, and more. It has support for drag and drop, the CDDB database, visual audio editing, and you can even search for song lyrics. The power under the hood is impressive. So, if you like playing with audio and video and would like to get professional results, this is the program you need to try. To say it's "full-featured" would be an understatement.Check it out - you'll be glad you did!
