Universal MediaWorks 6.2 Now Available

6.2 Vista Compatible

PLEASANTON, Calif., September 17, 2007 - Interactive Solutions, Inc. today announced that a Universal binary version of MediaWorks (formerly MovieWorks Deluxe) is now available. In addition to running natively on Intel-based Macintosh computers, there have been over 100 minor improvements and bug fixes to the Macintosh version of MediaWorks Author including new menu options to export to iPhone and AppleTV®. The Macintosh version of MediaWorks Animator now supports drag and drop of multiple files, free rotation and has a new checkbox to show an outline of the previous frame. The Windows version of MediaWorks has been updated to run on Vista, and the Help system has been significantly improved on both the Macintosh and Windows versions. A new Getting Started document is also now available as well as 15-day Trial versions. The update is free for registered customers of version 6.0 or higher. Educational Lab Pack upgrades prior to 6.0 are available for 50% of the SRP.

"We are very excited that MediaWorks is now optimized for the latest Operating Systems and computers,” says Bill LaCommare, President, Interactive Solutions, Inc. “In addition to running three times faster on Intel-based Macintosh computers, the numerous other improvements we've made make this a 'must have' update for anyone using the Mac version or for anyone running Vista. If you're using other consumer-level multimedia software products, and are looking for the 'next step' without breaking the bank, MediaWorks is a product that should be strongly considered!"

"MediaWorks offers more creative flexibiliy with unlimited layers and timing control than other low-end multimedia movie, slide show and presentation programs, without the learning curve and expense of high-end multimedia authoring and movie editing programs", says David Hentschel legendary record producer for Elton John, Genesis and many others. "Now that it runs natively on Intel-based Macs, I will be able to create interactive DVD-ROMs like the one I just finished using MediaWorks in even less time! I had a lot of fun using MediaWorks, and was very pleased with the final results, so I agreed to be part of a MediaWorks' success story that is featured on their website!"

MediaWorks combines simple-to-use video, sound, animation and paint/photo editors with a powerful multimedia authoring program. Create precisely-timed presentations and a variety of different kinds of movies with unprecedented ease, speed, quality and affordability. Deliver finished presentations on a computer or data CD/DVD, or use your exported movies in other applications or deliver on a consumer DVD player, iPod®, iPhone™, Apple TV®, YouTube or other web pages. The five integrated applications (Author, Paint/Photo, Sound, Video & Animator) work together seamlessly making it easy to incorporate analog (AV) or digital (DV) video, buttons, photos, graphics, animations, 3D, narration, MIDI, MP3, CD music, text and titling, and even Virtual Reality (VR) movies into stunning, professional-quality multimedia projects.
