Creator 10 has some really cool features, as listed above. I’d like to take this time to go into a little more detail on each of the features, based on information from the website.
The mobile service looks really cool. If you have a cell phone with photo capabilities, you can use this feature to automatically send, via USB, photos to your phone that can be sized to the best viewing size for your phones screen. This works for not only photos, but videos and music as well.
Mobile Photo Doctor is a really neat feature that not only fixes problems with your pictures for you, but finds them. If the lighting was bad in your picture, don’t worry; this will adjust the lighting in the picture for you.

If you own a digital camera, this will also be something you’d be interested in. You can upload the images directly from your camera via USB cable, and then sort them into albums. You can even label your images with keywords and preform an image search of the images stored in your albums. For someone with upwards of 1000 pictures saved, that would save a TON of time. As with the Mobile Photo Doctor, there are tons of ways to fix your photos that didn’t turn out just perfect.
If you’ve ever wanted to make a slideshow with the pictures you’ve taken, you can do that with Creator 10. Not only that, but it will help you burn the slideshow on a DVD player so you can play it even without a computer!
Thousands of templates for calenders, invitations, and more are included so that all you need to do is plug in a picture and print!

Now, let’s say that you have a video recorder that uses tapes. Ever wish you could get those onto your computer? This program does that too! (I’ve really been wanting something like this; video’s take up so much space on my SD cards so I’d love to be able to take tapes and still upload it to the computer!)
CineMagic is yet another amazing feature. Not only can you get all your video on to your computer in one click, but CineMagic will automatically separate clips into scenes and apply your selected background music into a movie. An automatic movie maker could save hours upon hours of time, literally. After it’s made the movie for you, there are more tools you can use to take out clips you don’t want, or to change the sound for a certain part, and more.
So, you have a polished, professional looking movie. Let’s burn it onto a standard DVD production? No way! The tools included allow you to create professional, animated DVD menus that look like something right out of Hollywood. Don’t feel like making a DVD? You can show it off at YouTube with the click of a button.

Music fan? If none of the above apply to you, this one should apply nonetheless. Most everyone has a certain type of music that they listen to. Creator10 has a nice looking playlist function. You’re probably thinking, “What else is new? Everyone has that nowadays.” Well, there is one thing that Creator 10 has that the others don’t; (that I know of, at least) You can burn around 50 hours of music onto a single and play it at parties or even at home for your own enjoyment. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, it’s like a hard drive on a disc!
You may have played music on your DVD player before; it usually shows some boring blue screen with the song name. Not with this, though. You can create visually attractive menus that make it easy to find the song you want, even on the TV!
Do you ever get music that isn’t the right format? It’s frustrating. I hate it when I got a cool song, but it won’t play on my mp3 player. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was something that could convert basically any audio format… to basically any other audio format? Well guess what… it’s included in the software. That alone is enough to make mp3 player fans purchase this product, in my opinion.

So, with all these cool features, you’d probably expect this to run 300 to 400 dollars, right?
Well, what if I told you that it was less than 300?

Less than 200?

Less than 100?
That’s right. I was very surprised myself, after reading about all the features, to see a price tag as low as it is. The regular price is $99. You won’t even have to pay that much, though! With the mail in rebate, the price is only $79.. that’s truly a steal! Each one of those sections I listed above has enough features on it to cost $100, yet combine all of those features and it doesn’t even cost as much as one set would be worth.
Below are some screenshots of the interface. If you’d like to see the shot bigger, click on the image.
