Transferring video content to your device
Before you start using the Video application, it's a good idea to transfer movies, TV
shows and other video content to your device from other devices, such as a
computer. There are several ways to transfer your content:
•
Connect your device to a computer using a USB cable and drag and drop the video
files directly using the file manager application on the computer. See
using a computer on page 125 .
•
If you have a PC, use the Media Go™ application from Sony to organise content and
transfer video files to your device via the PC. To learn more and download the Media
Go™ application, go to http://mediago.sony.com/enu/features.

Movie Creator
The Xperia™ Movie Creator automatically creates short videos of around 30 seconds
in length using existing photos and videos. The application automatically determines
the timeline to create its movie. For example, it could take a selection of photos and
videos from a Saturday afternoon outing or from a random seven-day period and
create a movie for you. When this highlight-style movie is ready, you get notified. You
can then edit it as desired. For example, you can edit the title, delete scenes, change
the music or add more photos and videos.
