I use Memory Mixer 3. Artistic design is not my gift. I decided that telling the stories and concentrating on the photos was my goal. Memory Mixer helps me to do that easily and quickly. And version 3 makes it even easier to use all of my wonderful purchases from the Sweet Shoppe. For the most part I can do everything I want. I only wish I could use some of the templates that the designers create here. That would make things even easier.
It also looks like with this latest version of Memory Mixer that I can add videos to my scrapbook that will now play automatically. That is what sold me on the software in the first place even though it never really worked as I wanted in earlier versions (but the promise of the possibility got me hooked). I've played around a little with adding the video to version 3 and it is automatically playing on my computer (in earlier versions I would have to click on a "hot spot" but that was no good because I wanted to give copies of the memories to my mom who does not use computers).
For years I have taken video at the amusement park when the kids were on the kiddie rides, my grandma doing the chicken dance at my sister's wedding, etc. I will have to convert the film video to digital but then it looks like I can add it right to the scrapbook. It's worked great with the video that I have from my digital camera.
It really is powerful software designed for the beginning user.
