Transferring video content to your device

Before you start using the Movies 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 97.

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 three-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 or
change the music.
