Rockstar Games sent over a selection of screenshots and gameplay video clips showcasing what can be done with the exclusive built-in video editor and recording tool found in the upcoming PC edition of Grand Theft Auto IV.
For the first-time ever in a GTA title, players will be able to make real-time edits and seamlessly export footage into WMV format movie files. You can even splice multiple clips together while adding in effects such as music, text and transitions. Once finalized, clips can be shared with friends and other gamers through Rockstar's online Social Club community.

The all new Video Editor feature allows you to capture in-game footage, make real time edits and render those clips out as WMV movie files. The clips can also be spliced together into a video complete with post effects like music, text and transitions, and other features typically found in video editing suites. You can then share your video(s) with others to view and rate in Rockstar Games Social Club TV.
