Some days I feel like Mary Poppins when I reach into my purse and end up with an iPad, smartphone, digital camera, laptop, or one of far too many flash drives in my hand. With media stored across multiple devices, my library of photos, videos, and music takes on the identity of an unorganized storage closet.
The expanse of media sharing options makes it difficult to quickly locate the pictures of my daughter’s soccer game or my son’s track meet when I want to share them with friends and family. Even when uploading them to my computer, the files seem to find their way into the deepest corner of my desktop- hidden beneath mountains of work documents and presentation files.
As I grew increasingly frustrated and discouraged, my photos and files sat forgotten until the Roxio Toast 11 Titanium stepped into the media management role. Not only does the program compile my images and music, but it also allows me to burn them all onto the same flash drive, CD, DVD or even better—my iPad and iPhone.
The Roxio Toast lends a helping hand in sorting through DVD after DVD of home videos. From the soccer game consuming 2 hours of film, to the graduation spanning another 3 hours, sitting down to reminisce means spending the majority of time with my hand on the fast forward button. Roxio allows users to upload hours of home videos and compile their favorite snippets from each event. Using the simple editing tools, create a montage of the best family moments from each year, or surprise your kids with a DVD including segments from every holiday morning since the time they crawled down the stairs.
For Windows users, the Roxio Creator provides the same features for all your media edits, storing, and converting needs. Transfer favorite images to your iPhone, edit home videos, and overall take your media to the next level with the Roxio Toast 11 and Creator 2012.
