MoviePlus X6 is based around the Timeline, which can accommodate multiple Overlay, Music, video and audio tracks, either singly or organized into groups.

Video and audio sources and images can be organized in a Media Panel and then dragged onto the appropriate part of the Timeline.

MoviePlus X3 added a storyboard mode which simplifies editing for linear projects and cleaner and simpler interface.

Like similar digital non-linear editing applications, MoviePlus does not actually alter the media sources; it builds a small "project file" which contains links to all media sources used, together with details of virtual edits, transitions, special effects and titling.

If several media sources have been moved to similar new locations, MoviePlus can quickly re-connect with the whole group.

Effects and envelopes are introduced by placing special "Key Frames" on a track of the timeline.

MoviePlus provides computer generated sources for coloured backgrounds, shapes and masks, and text in a variety of styles.
