SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 23 — (PRNewswire) — Roxio®, a division of Sonic Solutions® (Nasdaq: SNIC), today unveiled Roxio VideoLab 3D, the world's first personal video editing suite for capturing, editing, and sharing personal 3D content. Designed to be bundled with and add value to 3D-enabled PCs, laptops, cameras, camcorders, and accessories, Roxio VideoLab 3D allows users to import a wide range of 3D video formats including stereoscopic content directly from 3D cameras.

With Roxio VideoLab 3D, consumers can use familiar video editing tools to turn raw 3D footage and converted 2D content into engaging and immersive 3D home movies, complete with titles, transitions, and effects. The finished results can be exported in a range of formats, including the RealD Format for a cinematic-quality 3D viewing experience on 3D-enabled home PCs and HDTVs. In addition, projects may be uploaded and shared via YouTube in 3D.

"Roxio VideoLab 3D is a groundbreaking application and another example of how Roxio is helping drive the market for home 3D," said Matt DiMaria, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Roxio.
