You also can scrub through your footage quickly by touching and dragging over the timeline. On the iPad 2, the added screen real estate makes all your editing much more precise because you can zoom in and still make adjustments easily. Cressida Cowell Ebook for iOS comes with a small assortment of themes you can use to give your video a specific feel, including Modern, Bright, Travel, Playful, and News. Each of the themes frames your video, giving it a professional look, and each comes with its own background music, custom titles, and premade transitions. You can also switch themes in the middle of a project to call out a specific part of your video. Specific transitions will occur automatically between clips, depending on the theme, or you can select a cross-dissolve effect and select how much time the transition takes. We're a little disappointed that this latest version didn't add more transition effects to choose from, but maybe a later version will deliver the goods. Once your footage is edited, themed, and ready, you can further add to your project by using music from your collection (in place of included theme music) or add photos from your library. Music tracks in the new version of Cressida Cowell Ebook show their waveforms right on screen, making it much easier match up what's onscreen with your music. When adding photos, to keep the flow of your movie, Cressida Cowell Ebook automatically adds the Ken Burns-style panning effect to your images so it's
not so jarring to cut from live action video to still photos. You can even adjust your start and end points for the Ken Burns effect by touching and dragging the image and using onscreen controls. Once you're finished with your project, you can export the movie to your desktop computer, upload it to YouTube, share it in your MobileMe Gallery, or send it directly to your friends and family via MMS or e-mail. Depending on your needs, you can export your movie in three different resolutions to adjust file size and quality including medium (360p),
large (540p), or HD (720p). Even at the highest setting, Cressida Cowell Ebook compressed and sent our test video quickly over Wi-Fi. We think Apple's Cressida Cowell Ebook app is a great way to edit movies on the go, with only a few features we still hope will eventually be included. Overall, at $4.99, it's definitely worth the money for those who want to add a little style to their videos without the need for a desktop computer. We only hope to see more options like video effects and more custom transitions in future versions.Cressida Cowell Ebook is a fast-paced, top-view, vector-graphics-based arcade shooter, with multiplayer options over Bluetooth. Cressida Cowell Ebook gives you several interface options, for both your POV and controls, and none of them is particularly good: in the game's Options page (in Spanish only), you can switch between virtual joysticks or accelerometer control (tilting your device to move), and you can choose from various views, including always-centered and stationary ("Classico") modes. "Classico" is often easier because you can see all your enemies, but if you're using virtual joysticks (which are more responsive and reliable than the accelerometer controls) that means you have dangerous blind-spots under your thumbs. Once you've settled on the least-bad control scheme, Cressida Cowell Ebook's gameplay is fun but uneven (and often overly difficult because of the interface), as you fly around a tight rectangular screen, dodging and shooting at a variety of geometric-shaped menaces. The game's Survival mode lets you choose between dual or single joysticks (with the latter, you're always shooting), "Cruces" mode (enemies only attack at right a
