Not only can it edit video, photos, and audio, Creator NXT 3 from Roxio provides a one-stop solution for disc authoring, uploading to social media, and exporting for playback on a range of devices. New features for version 3 include screen capture complete with audio, three-step video editing with FastFlick, and 17 royalty-free tracks from Triple Scoop Music. Creator NXT works with standard definition, HD, and 3D content. It can import and export a wide range of file-based media, and can burn CDs and DVDs. Blu-ray Disc authoring is optional, requiring purchase of an additional license from Roxio. It can also capture footage from tape-based DV cameras on computers that have a FireWire card, and can capture from analog sources via a separately available Roxio USB capture device. Creator NXT 3 requires Windows XP or later, and most features are supported on both 32- and 64-bit platforms.
