The Best-Value Tool Suite
for Creating Multimedia Presentations, Movies and Podcasts!
MediaWorks combines simple-to-use
video, sound, animation and paint editors with a powerful
multimedia authoring program. Easily create amazing
"movie-type" productions that are difficult or not
possible in other consumer-level movie and slide show
editors, and precisely-timed linear and interactive
presentations without the learning curve and expense
of high-end media editing and authoring tools. Use your
exported movies in other applications or deliver on
a consumer DVD player, iPod®,
iPhone™, Apple TV®,
YouTube or other web pages. Deliver
your finished presentations on a computer or data CD/DVD.
The five integrated
applications (Author, Paint/Photo,
Sound, Video
& Animator) work
together seamlessly, making it easy to create professional-quality
multimedia projects including portfolios, family memories,
travel adventures, presentations, movies, podcasts, training,
lessons, reports, yearbooks, clay animations and more!
