The software offers bare bones functionality and is actually quite frustrating to use at times. The program has gone through several iterations, including the 2.02 version, which shipped with several 2010 camcorders. JVC Everio camcorders ship with the Everio Media Browser software program. Though ImageMixer is at the heart of Canon's included software, it also comes with a separate photo viewer/editor and a program for transferring your own audio files onto the camcorder (for use with playlists and Video Snap).

Using ImageMixer to transfer files is fairly straightforward: probably easier to use than expensive 3rd party editing software, but just as easy to use as iMovie or Movie Maker. You need to use some kind of editing software or transfer utility first. Neither standard definition nor high definition files recorded by Canon can simply dragged and dropped onto your desktop for viewing. The most important element of all these discs is Pixela Disc 1, which has the transfer utility you'll need for getting videos off your camcorder and onto your computer. Whether you have a Mac or PC, you can also use this disc to install ZoomBrowser (Windows) and ImageBrowser (Mac), for viewing and organizing photos. If you own a Windows computer, you may be prompted to install a driver when you first connect your camcorder via USB. This is a lot of discs for one camcorder and enough to make you pull out your hair, even if you aren't easily intimidated by technology. Disc one has the transfer utility (for copying files from your camcorder onto your computer), and disc two is the actual editing program.

In 2009, Canon camcorders shipped with four different discs: a digital instruction manual / music CD, a 'digital video solution' disc (with drivers and an image browser for photos), and two discs for the PIXELA application.
