- The ability to extract and deinterlace still images from video;
- Support for common video effects, such as blur, tint, lens flare, etc.;
- Batch still image manipulation, including resizing, rotation, export, and publishing; and
- Support for video output up to 1080p HD, as well as smaller formats, such as those that work well with iPod screens.
