Overview:

Magnet is the easiest way to customize your movies and share them with your friends. With advanced motion tracking, the cat's head will follow the same path as in the original movie. Using Magnet, you are able attach a picture or animation to a movie, to define a blur zone, or even to emit particles that follow the moving objects. Using Magnet, you can add special effects such as replacing your own head with a cat head. More generally, you can attach an image to moving objects in a video, or attach animation, particles, or black (or blur) zones. Just let your imagination go, and add glasses, a hat, a mask, tatoo. Blazingly fast GPU-based rendering. Hit play, Magnet renders in real-time, whatever image size. Magnet has an extremely fast rendering engine that combines CPU operations (optimized for Intel Macs) and GPU, or graphics card, power. It enables real-time rendering on mega pixel images still being accurate to sub-pixel. Moreover, the latest version of Magnet even added support for the Core Image library of Mac OS X Tiger for filtering, also executed on the graphics card for maximum performance. Definitely Mac. Magnet is a Mac software from the start. You can import various image formats from any sources, including direct access to your iPhoto and iMovie media. You can even use your iSight, which is bundled with almost every mac nowadays, directly from within Magnet to import a picture or animation. Magnet further leverages your computer power by allowing Quartz Composer effects (Sepia Tone, Crystalize, and your own effects). The rendered animation is in QuickTime format, enabling further composition in Final Cut Pro or iMovie, or even export it to your video iPod!
