I exported the recording from Pocket Recorder to a MP3, then imported into Showbiz, and BAM! There it was. I started recording my voice using the Pocket Recorder off to the left in split screen mode while playing the video back in ShowBiz.

So I plugged up a fairly high quality USB Plantronics mic to the Surface, and used a voice recorder app called “Pocket Recorded.” My main intent was to see just how much the surface could handle without cracking. Although the ShowBiz app actually supported video recording right from the app using the Surface’s mic, I wanted to make a spectacle of this.

So I started with a previously recorded video, added the only available theme which included text and some commentary. I was actually shocked at how simple the app was to navigate, there really wasn’t too much fuss to setting up a new project and importing media.The app even supported functions like splitting video and audio on the timeline, adding two additional audio tracks, adding pictures, text and a whole lot of transitions. Although I’ve never actually used the editing portion of Showbiz, I was excited none the less to dive in, especially at a very reasonable $4.99 price tag.
SURFACE PRO VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE
This was the same Showbiz software I use on a daily basis to record my gaming for youtube,The software ships with every Hauppage HD PVR 2 device. I couldn’t put my finger on why the name rang a bell, but then it hit me. While browsing the Store on my more than lovely Surface RT, I ran across a nifty app by the name of ArcSoft Showbiz.
