MiniTool MovieMaker 8.9 introduces keyframe animation for videos, images, and elements, along with a smaller installation package and a redesigned export button.
MiniTool has released MiniTool MovieMaker 8.9, a major update to its video editing software. The new version introduces keyframe animation controls for videos, images, and elements, allowing users to create custom motion effects by adjusting position, scale, and rotation. It also reduces the installation package size and improves the export interface.
What’s New in MiniTool MovieMaker 8.9
Create Custom Motion with Keyframes
The highlight of MiniTool MovieMaker 8.9 is the new keyframe animation feature. Users can add keyframes to videos, images, and elements at different points on the timeline and adjust their position, scale, and rotation over time.
For example, users can set different X and Y coordinates to move a clip horizontally or vertically, change the scale to create zoom-in or zoom-out effects, and adjust the rotation angle to create dynamic movement. By combining these controls, users can create smooth motion effects from otherwise static media.
Adjust Position, Scale, and Rotation
The three available keyframe controls provide different ways to animate visual elements:
- Position: Adjust the X and Y coordinates to control horizontal and vertical movement.
- Scale: Change the size of a clip to create zoom-in or zoom-out effects.
- Rotation: Adjust the rotation angle to create spinning or rotating effects.
Users can place keyframes at different timestamps and assign different values to each keyframe. MovieMaker then creates the movement between them, allowing users to build custom animation effects without complicated settings.
Animate Videos, Images, and Elements
Keyframe animation is available for videos, images, and elements. Users can also apply keyframes to stickers and other visual elements to create customized movements and effects.
Combined with MovieMaker’s multi-track timeline, the new feature provides more control over how different elements move throughout a video.
Smaller Installation Package
MiniTool MovieMaker 8.9 also reduces the overall size of its installation package. The smaller package helps reduce the amount of data users need to download and the disk space required for the installer.
The streamlined installation process allows users to complete setup more quickly and launch the application sooner.
Improved Export Experience
The export stage has also been updated in version 8.9. MiniTool MovieMaker introduces a redesigned Export button with clearer visual guidance, making it easier to locate the export option when users are ready to save their projects.
The change is intended to make the final step of the editing workflow more straightforward for both new and experienced users.
More Video Editing Features
Beyond the new keyframe controls, MiniTool MovieMaker provides a multi-track timeline for combining video, audio, text, and other elements. It also supports picture-in-picture effects and video collages.
Users can apply filters, transitions, effects, text templates, and stickers to their projects, then export videos in up to 4K resolution without watermarks.
