To use all the functionalities of nawmalMAKE, you do need to be connected to the internet. However, we have made best efforts to enable you to still create content even if the creative urge overtakes you when you can't connect. You will be able to edit and create new scenes but you won't be able to render out video, nor use some of the features which require internet access.
You have many different video output formats such as: MP4 (H264), AVI, MPEG and WMV. You also have the following aspect ratios: SD, the traditional TV format (4:3), HD (16:9), and a few others used in cinema (35mm 3:2, Widescreen 1.85:1 and Superwide 2.35:1.) You can also save individual images, one frame per image, as PNG files.

Yes. You have to go in Advance Voice Settings to change the speech rate, the volume, the pitch and the timbre of the voice.
There is currently no direct import, but if you render your slides as .png or .jpeg images, you can insert them in the inbuilt screens in certain sets. You can also export the transitions and effects as video, and insert them on the "screens". We suggest exporting each of the slides separately as this will allow for better and easier control of when they appear in your movie.
